The Crooked Tree.

A little child, when asked why a
certain tree grew crooked, replied:
"Somebody trod on it, 1 suppose,
when it was little fellow" How
painfully suggestive is that answer?
How many, with aching hearts, can
remember the days of their childhood,
when they were the victims of indis-
Greet repression, rather than the happy
objects of some kind direction and
culture! The effects of such misguiu-
ed discipline have been apparent in
their history and character, and by NO
process of human devising can the
wrong be now rcctiticd. The grand CT
ror in their education consisted in Il
system of rigid restraints, without cor
responding efforts to devclopc, cult
vate, and train in a right direction.

PRAYING and Trying.


Two little girls went together to
school. One always said her lessons
well. and was commended; but the
other was always getting into disgrace,
because she could not say hers. So she
went, one day, to her schoolfellow, and
asked her how it was that she always
said her lessons so we'll
She replied that she always prayed
that she might be able to say them
well, and then found them quite easy.
Well, the little girl thought this was
easy enough; she would pray, too, and
then she should be able to say hers
well. She did so, but the next day,
instead of saying her lessons well, and
being commended, she did worse than
ever, and could not say word Of them.
She soon came in tears to her compan-
ion, complaining bitterly of having
been deceived. Her heard
what she had to say, and then quietly
asked her if she had tried to learn her
lessons.
go, no." said the little girl; 81 only
prayed that might be able to say them.
I thought that was all I had to do!'
The next day she tried the better
plan of bringing work into her religion,
and religion into her work, and sue

The Bible teaches us that whatsoever
we do, we should do all to the glory OF
God; and it also teaches us that trying
and prayiug should go hand in hand
