THE BORROWED TOOL.

A boy borrowed a tool from neighbor, promis
ing to return it at night. Before evening he was
sent away on an errand, and did not reach home
until late but ere he started he was told that his
brothers should see the tool returned. After be
had come back and gone up to bed, he inquired
and found that it had not been carried to the own
er. He was much distressed to think that his
promise should not have been fulfilled, but was fl
nally persuaded to go to sleep, 50 that be might
rise early and carry the borrowed article home. BY
daylight he was up but nowhere was it to be
found
After long and frutless search for it, he set of
for his neighbors workshop in great distress, tc
acknowledge his fault. But how great was his
surprise to find it on the doorstep! At length il
appeared, from the prints of little bare feet in the
mud, the lad had got up IN his sleep and carried
the tool home, and then gone to bed again, waking
quite unconscious of what had occurred. Oh
course boy thus promptin bis sleep was prompt
when awake. He lived respected, had the conf,
dence of his neighbors, and was placed in many
Offices of trust and responsibility.
This boy took the best course to succeed in life,
though perhaps be did notknowit. Whatever we
have to do, we should do it with our might, and
do it promptly. Especially should we be anxious
to keep our promises, strictly and faithfully. II
we are careless in dschargng these and similar du.
ties, we shall suffer for it.
