"But if were to die, like my little sis.
ter" said Carl "all that time have spent
in lessons would be wasted" IA.
You are not sure OF that, little boy" said
the apple tree. "somo Of my apples arc
gathered before they arc ripe; but they
ripen none tho less in the storerooms where
they are put. Spread your flowers to tho
sun, little boy, that all who know you may
rejoice, and praise God for their beauty,
but do not neglect your fruit; for 30 sure
that, sooner or later, here or In heaven, God
viii find use for It. These things arc what
he has given you to do, and ifyou neglect
them, who can tell how many ways you
may miss by which you might have served
God"
Then Carl awoke, and behold It was a
dream! But he ran home with now spirit
to his lessons and his play, and with the
words of the apple tree, other words SEEM
cd to mix that he had heard before What
soever 20 do, do il heartilya as to the Lord"

NUMBER A.
Importance Of Learning . Trade.

The advantages Of having learned Q trsdc
arc strikingly demonstrated 10 tho seasons
like the present. The Philadelphia Ledger
has the following pertinent and appropriate
remarks on this subject:
4, ''ln referring yesterday to The largo mum.
ber Of persons who have no trades, and
= who arc now seeking employment, thero
was one branch af tho subject left uniouch-
ed. Il Is that connected with clerks, book.
keepers, and Office attendants Of oil grades.
There is growing tendency among shon.
sighted parents to put their boys In offices,
under false impression that such occupa.
ton Is more Renteel than tho learning OF
irnde. This u a most mischicvous notion,
and one that Is likely to entnil upon their
children troubles and sonows and heart
burning during oil tho rest Of their lives.
All business Is subjec. to fluctuations, which
the wisdom Of men and Of governments
have thus fur bccn unable to control, aud
when commercial or financial depression
occurs, those who arc the first to suffer,
und among tho most hopeless victims, arc
book. keepers, clerks, copyists, md Office
attendants Of every kind. Al such times
the workman in number Of tho mechanic
al tudes can find employment on his own
account Tho shoemaker can make shoes
or mend them the tailor can mako gar
men,s or mend them; the painter and gla.
Iier, the carpenter, the bell.haneer, tho
locksmith, the plumber and tho gas filter.
and nnny others that will occur to tho read
or, can search for and find odd jobs that
will give them ut least the means Of living.
The skilled man, with tools at his com.
mand, is In most respects master OF tho cit.
ua,ion. But the clerk, the book.keeper,
the Office attendant. arc helpless. They
can not establish mercantile, commercial.
or manufacturing houses to give employ.
ment to themselves. They must wait ma.
ny weary day until the season or tho years
Of depression are over before they can find
that employment for their pens which they
have unfortunately made their sole means
Of livelihood. All this Is another Of tho
lamentable results Of having learned no
trade in childhood. The subject Is, indeed,
ono 50 wide In It's notifications, and 20 pro.
foundly important In is consequences, that
Il time Il had engaged moro thorough and
moro systematic attention on tho part Of
the people.

LITTLE CARL.

Little Carl sat by the brook ut the bottom
Of the orchard, thinking -thinking-'hink.
ing-,hinking. And this was what he
thought about. His mother had told him
only that morning, that although he was a
child he could serve God; and when he
had asked her show" she told him by bc'
ing good boy. This puzzled Carl very
much, and so he came out into the orchard
to think about 1t.
II don't understand It," thought ho to
himself "Grown up men and women can
serve God, for some Of them preach ser.
mons to teach people to be good, and some
give clothes and things to poor people: but
! am only little boy, can't preach SER
mons and have got no money, so can't
give things to poor people l can do moth
ing but play and learn my lessons. ! won
der how I can serve God"
As little Carl thought this, he lay upon
the grass, looking up at a white cloud In
the sky; and as he lay and looked, he all a,
once heard a voice coming gently down
like sol, wind. The cloud was speaking to
him.
al rose up from the sea like mist" said
tho cloud, sand l have travelled long way
in tho air 4; am going further still, to carry
rain to place far away from here, where
the fields are dried up, and the harvest Is
spelling. The rain l bring will refresh the
corn, and make the farmers glad, and so
there will be fruit for the farrpev next WIN.
ter. This is wha, God has given mo to do,
and NO serve God"
Then tho little brook which ran at Carl's
feet answered the cloud, and said ~ can.
no, water broad fields AZ you do, and save
the land from famine, for am only little
brook; but as ripple through wood and
meadows, give water to the little flowers
upon my banks, and keep the blades Of
grass fresh and green, and sometime ]
creep close up to cottage. that the good
woman muy not have far to fill her pals.
These little things arc what God has given
mo to do, and 30 serve God"
al drink of your water, little brook" said
the primrose in tho grass, "and It refreshcs
me but can give YOU nothing In return |;
I can only open my bright eye and look
s,raight up to heaven, and those who 500
mo may rejoice in my beauty, and romem-
Der how good God is, who made mo so fair.
This is what God has given me to do, and
80 I serve God"
Carl listened and wondered, and when
the primrose was silent the little brook
spoke again, and said, aYou can do As we
do, little hoy. Whom your mother Is tired
and say, or your father comes homo weary,
if you arc bright and happy you will refresh
their hearts, as refresh the little flowers,
and they win thank God who gave them
such good and happy child, and 30 you
will be bright spot in their homo like the
brigh, primrose in the soft green grass.
This Is wha, God has given you to do. and
SO you can servo God"
And Carl listened again, and he under
stood what the brook meant; but siill an.
other thing puzzled him, % he said 1lf al

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
NJ JANE ISGELow.

The racing river leaped and sang
Full Ilithsly in the perfect weather,
All round the mountain echoes rang,
For blue and green were glad together.
This rained out light nom every part.
And that with songs ofjoy was thrilling;
But. In the hollow Of my heart
There achsd place that wanted hlling.
Before the road and river meet,
And stepping.stoues are wet and glisten,
Iheard sound Of laughter sweet
And paused TO like II and to listenf
Iheard the chanting waters flow,
The cushat's note, the bees low hummins-
Thsu turned the hedge, and did not know
How could I!-thst my time Was coming.
A girl upon the nighss, stone,
Half doubtful or the deed, was standing.
So fSr the shadow food had flown
Beyond the eu,tomsd leap OF landing.
She knew not any need OF me,
Yet me she waited all unweetlngj
We thought not had crossed the sea,
And half the sphere to give her meeting.
INVADED out, her eyes met,
lwished the moments had been houn,
Itook her In my arms, and set
Her dainty feet among the flowers.
Her fsllow.maids In copse and lane,
All! still, insthinks, I hear them calling
The winds soit whisper In the plain,
The eushst's coo, the waters falling.
But now 10 IL year ago,
But now possession crowns endssvori
Itook her In my heart to grow
And all the hollow plsoe forever.
