Once Only.

A shy little girl came to Sab
bath-school. She was poorly
dressed-a calico gown, a hat
trimmed with faded green rib
bons; slippers, not boots, thin
slippers, which looked as if some
body had given them to her, and
a small shawl on her shoulders.
Miss Jones brought her in, and
she was in Miss Jones's class.
Miss Jones's class were girls
very nicely dressed. They had
feathers, and fresh ribbons, and
fashionable boots. Miss Jones's
class, too, all knew each other.
Well, how did they receive the
little stranger? Very glad, Of
course, to welcome her to the Sab
bath-school, and their class, too,
because they had often heard how
the Lord Jesus became poor for
their sakes, and how he left the
poor among us to feed and care for.
Did they receive her kindly |?
Not a bit. When she sat down
on the seat beside them they
moved away. They glanced their
eyes at her dress, then at each
other, and laughed contemptu-
ously. When she looked wist-
fully up to them for look of
kindness they turned their faces
another way. All their conduct
seemed to say, ave are above
you, and what business have you
here, l wonder?" Oh, was it not
cruel2
The little girl never went again.
Perhaps she was driven from Sun
day-school forever. Let every
person, great and small, remem-
Der this, that all who laugh at the
poor laugh at God, and he will
not always be Knocked, l assure
you.-ChiLd's Paper.

The Fallen Son.

Follow him home now from
the scene Of dissipation. He is
an only son. On him the hopes
of the family have centered.
Every nerve has been strained
to give him the choicest educa-
ton. Parents and sisters gloried
in his talents, and look forwad to
his future fame. Alas already
these vision are less bright.
Enter now the family circle
parents surrounded by lovely
daughters. Within that circle
reigns peace, virtue and refine
ment. The evening has been
spent in animated conversation
and the sweet interchange of
affectionate endearment! But
there is one who used to share all
this, who was the center of that
circle. Why is he not here
The hour of devotion has come ;
they kneel before their Father
and God. A voice that used to
mingle in their praises is wanting.
An hour rolls away another
hour flown. Why has all cheer
fulness gone? Why do those
parents start at every footstep
The step Of that son and brother
is heard. The door is opened
he staggers in before them, and
is stretched out at their feet in
all the loathsomeness of intoxi-
cation.

of a home made dark with sin

"I Want to See the Queen"

A Gentleman was speaking o.
the mediation by which we gel
access to God, our heavenly Faith.
er. He said he would illustrate
it by telling the story of a little
boy in England. This little boy
had heard in his Sabbath-school
that the Queen of England dear.
ly loved little children. As he
thought of it from day to day, he
became very desirous of seeing
her. So one day he became SO
anxious that he said to his moth
er-
81 want to see the Queen"
"Why do you want to see the
Queen 2" asked the mother.
"Because have heard that she
loves little children"
"But you cannot see her. They
will not allow it."
"But, mother, l must see her.
Do let me try to see her."
This was a poor little boy. He
was the son of a poor mother
who had no friends of Influenced.
But the little boy was so impor-
tunate that she concluded she
would let him try. So she dress
ed him up in the best she could,
and he started off after being
told where to go. He entered
the grounds and was making his
way eagerly into the palace,
when he was intercepted by two
armed soldiers with their guns
pointed at him, who ordered him
away with rough language. AS
he walked down the pathway cry
ing, he met another boy, who in
quired what he was crying for.
Said the little boy
II wanted to see the Queen,
for | have heard that she loves
little children"
So the last said: "Put your
hand in mine and come with me,
and 1 will take you to The
Queen"
As they approached the sol
diers both raised their hats, and
the two passed into the palace
and into the royal presence. The
Queen inquired of her son fer
what purpose the little boy had
come. And the son answered /:
Il found this little boy crying,
he said he wanted to see you"
Then the Queen said to the
poor little boy-"For what rea-
son did you wish to see me ?"
Because ''said the boy, II have
heard in my Sabbath-school that
the Queen Of England loves lit
tie children, and l wanted to see
her?n
The Queen was greatly moved
by the little boys answer,and re-
ceived him with all the favor be-
coming Queen.
So we-poor little children
obtain access to our heavenly
Father by his Son Jesus Christ.
And through him we may come
boldly to the throne of the heav-
emily grace, and that we may OBJ
tain mercy and find grace to help
in time Of need.-Fwlton Street

F. S E AL,

Has just received a new inven-
ton, in the way of an improve
ment in Ladies' Boots. The boot is
made high in the leg, with elastic
sides. The improvement consists
in arranging the elastic and lin
ing, that the elastic will clasp the
ankle; and the lining, while pro-
tecting the elastic from the sweat
of the foot, will also yield to its
contraction and expansion. Its
great beauty is this: that it is
easy to put on, fits snugly when
on, and protects the foot and limb
from cold. 1t will certainly be a
favorite with the ladies. Samples
can be seen at his shop.

Cough No More.

Warmers Cough Balsam is healing,
softening and expectorating. The extraordi-
narv power it possesses in Immediately reliev-
ing, and eventually curing, the most obstinate
cases of Coughs, Colds. Sore Throat, Bronchitis
Influenza, Catarrh, Hoarseness, Asthma and
Consumption is almost incredible. So prompt
is the relief and certain its effects in all the
above cases, or any affection of the throat or
lungs, that thousands of physicians are daily
prescribing it, and one and all say that it is the
most healing and expectorating medicine
known. One dose always affords relief, and in
most cases one bottle effects relief. Sold by
druggists, in large bottles. Price One Dollar.
It is your own fault if you still cough and suf-
fer. The Balsam will cure.
