Oh thanks to the Savior that even the seeming

Adde'S Lame Foot.
"Oh I've got such pain in my knee
cried Addie Jacobs, as she came limping
back in the house few minutes after she
had started for school.
In your knee ~ said Mrs. jacobs, q
look of anxiety in her face. "What kind
of pain p
"Oh, it's such sharp pain.'' And Ad-
die limped about, and made terribly wry
face. Mrs. Jacobs was alarmed. She had
heard only the day before of little girl
who had once been taken suddenly with q
pain in her knee, and was now cripple.
So she took off Adde'S hat and coat,
felt the knee all over, the child shrieking
when she touched certain spot, saying
that it hurt her.
There was no going to school that day.
Addie was placed on lounge, with her
leg on q pillow. But all this trouble about
her knee was, I am sorry to say, only
pretence that she might stay at home, she
got tired Of keeping still, and after it was
too late to 60 to school, got off the lounge,
and was able to 60 about as we'll as usual.
Now, if Addie had never deceived her
mother before, Mrs. Jacobs would have
felt glad when she saw her playing about
the room. But now it flashed through her
mind that her little girl, who was not, l
regret to say, truthful child, had both
told and acted lie aad she was very
sorry and much displeased. So she watch
ed Addie closely, and became satisfied she
had deceived her.
About week afterward, on being got
ready for school, Addie said that her shoe
hurt her foot. Her mother had not for
gotten the pretended pain in her knee, and
replied, impatiently,
Its all make believe run along ~
But Addie limped badly, and began to
cry, saying her foot hurt her dreadfully.
Mrs. Jacobs, to make sure, took her on
her knee, and felt the boot all over.
"It's right there!' Addie cried out, rs
her mother pressed certain part of the
foot.
So Mrs. Jacobs took off the boot, and
then the stocking, but could find no hurt
or bruise. Putting them on again, she
gave her scolding, and sent her off to
school. Addie left the house limping and
crying.
At noon she returned, 40 lame that one
of her school.nates had to help her along.
Her foot was now badly swollen and very
red, and she was in so much pain from
walking home that she could scarcely help
screaming aloud in the street.
81 told you it hurt me I" she said to her
mother as she came in, the tears running
down her face. But you would make
me 20 to school,"
+" That was because you told an untruth
about your knee" replied Mrs. Jacobs,
with some severity, hiding her alarm. "If
my little girls word had always been
true word, would have believed her this
morning. But liar-that is hard word
to say, but it is the right word-we can
never trust"
Addie hid her face with her hands in
shame; the doctor was sent for, who, on
examining the foot, found it badly inflam-
ed, and said she was threatened with cry
sipelas. A whole week passed before she
could rest her foot on the ground, and du-
ring part of the time she suffered a great
deal Of pain.
Much Of this was caused by Adde'S
walking so far after her foot was swollen
and infamed. If she had never deceived
her mother, she would not have been sent
to school when she said her foot hurt her
% badly. ! hope she never forgot the les
son.
4 We cannot do wrong in word or act
without bringing upon us pain of some
kind-pain of mind, or pain of body. 1t
10 as sure to follow as pain from wound
pr blow. Think, little girl or boy, now
beading this: Did you ever tell an un-
truth, or do wrong act without it's caus-
ling you to suffer in some way2" am sure
Iyeu never did.
Speak the truth always-do the right
always; it is tho only way to be happy as
children, and happy as men and women.
