A MURDERoUs SEA FLowER.-One Of the
exquisite wonders of the sea is called the ope-
let, and is about as large as the German aster,
looking indeed very much like one. Imagine a
very large double aster, with ever so many long
petals Of a light green, glossy as satin, and each
one tipped with rose color, These lovely pet
ais do not lie quietly in their places, like those
of the aster in your garden, but wave about in
the water, while the opelet generally clings to
a rock. How innocent and lovely il looks.on
its rocky bed. Who would suspect that it
would eat anything glosser than dew or sun
light? But those beautiful waving arms, as
you call them, have use besides looking pretty.
They have to provide for large open mouth
which Is hidden down deep amongst thenl--so
well-hidden that one can scarcely find it. Well
do they perform their duty, for the instant a
foolish little fish touches one Of the rosy tips, lie
is struck with poison as fatal TO him as light
ming.
He Immediately becomes numb, and in a mo-
ment stops struggling, and then the other heau-
tiftll arms wrap themselves around him, and he
/ | is drawn into the huge greedy mouth, and Is
seen no more. Then the lovely arms unclose
| and wave again in the water, looking as limo
cent and harmless as though they had neve
| touched Il fish.
| The thousand and one temptations that dras
men and women down to death, are like tn
sea-tiOwer mentioned above. ~-

THE WoBsT OF The LoT.-In the early part
of the reign of Louis XVI, a.Germln prince,
travelling through France, visited the arsenal at
Toulon, where the galleys We're kept. The
comnlandant, as a compliment to his rank, said
he was welcome to set free any one galley-slave
whom he shOuld choose to select Ay
The prince, willing to make the best use OF
the privilege, spoke to many Of them in success
sion, inquiring why they were condemned to
the galleys. Injustice, oppression, false accusa-
tions, were assigned by one after another as
the causes of their being there. In fact, they
were all injured and ill-treated persons
At last he came to one, who, when asked
the same question: answered to this effect
s'Yotlr Highness, j have no reason TO complain
Il have been very wicked desperate wretch
L have deserved to be broken alive on the wheel
The prince fixed his eyes upon him, and said
"You wicked wretch! 1t is a pity you should
be placed among so many honest men. By
your own confession, you are bad enough tc
corrupt them all but you shall not stay with
them another day. Then turning to the Off
Ger, he said "This is the man, sir, whom
wish to be released"
Was not this wise decision? Must not al
who hear the story allow that the man " ht
was sensible of his guilt, and so submissive Il
his punishment, was, in all probability, tn,
most worthy of pardon, and the most likely no
to abuse it IL 8"
Sense of sin is the first step toward forgive
ness. There is hope Of man who confesse
his guilt, and feels that punishment is his de
-sert. And the deeper the conviction Of sin, tin
more hopeful oftenis the condition.-E Exchange

So prayed little Hans in his childish smplici-

"Now thanks to God" cried he, ioyfillly /;
