That the angel Of conscience quite frequently
played: .
And he sang, ''Lirle Willie, beware, oh beware

How cad you would feel II You heard the Lord

Then Willie turned rouna. and as still a. mouse

Finger Marks.

A GENTLEMAN employed mason to do
some work for him, and, among other
things, to "thin.whiten 1.-THE walls Of ono
of his chambers. This thin whitening Is
almost colorless until dried. The gentle
man was much surprised, on the morning
after the chamber was finished, to find on
the drawer of his bureau, standing in the
room, white finger marks. Opening the
drawer, he found the same on the articles
In il, and also on pocket.book. An
examination revealed the same marks on
the contents of bag. This proved clearly
that the mason, with his wet hands, had
opened the drawer, and searched the bag,
which contained no money, and had then
closed the drawer without once thinking
that any one would ever know 1t. The
"thin whitening" which happened to be
on his hands, did not show at first, and he
probably had no idea that twelve hours
dryi would reveal his wickedness.
Children, beware of evil thoughts and
deeds! They all leave their finger marks,
which will one day be revealed. II you
disobey your parents, or tell falsehood,
or take what Is not your own, you make
sad stains on your character. And 80 1t
