Tgp PRISONER AND HIS BLIND DAUGHTERS.

THE PRISONER AND HIS BLIND DAUGHTER.
Yon have al! dear little readers, heard OF
Jonn Bunyan, who wrote that beautiful book,
the tPligrim's Progress" Some of you
know, too, that he was sent 10 prison for
preaching Gods truth, and was kept there
for twelve long years-yes, shut up in the
dark, dirty jan at Bedford fora longer time
than many OF yo1 have lived. 'Wbata ter
rible thing !" says some little boy what
did poor John Bunyan do? should have
cried all day long," Aye, but that would
have been very silly, my young friend The
good preacher knew better. He had done
nothing wrong, aud therefore his mind was
quite easy Tor there is nothing that gives
such peace liz he heart. to feel that we have
been doing right. And as he had been put
in prison tor serving God, he was quite sure
that God was always with him, even in that
dull and cherries place, and wonld set him
free xgain as soon as he saw it was best So
John Bunyan did mt tret, but kept up a
stout head and put his trusr in God.
Bus il rs had lretted, will tell you what
think he would have fretted about. Not
because he was shut upln lonely cell, but
because he had wife and four cEldren at
home, and now he could work al his trade no
more. One OF the tour was little blind
girl. Poor Blind Mary! her father could not
take care OF her any longer, aud how could
she work tor herself
~ I'll D.,
children very much and he began 10 think
what he should do to help them, and provide
Cor poor blind Mary. 50, he could not work
at his old trade, he look new ore. He
learned TO make laces in the prison, and his
blind girl used TO take them iuto the street
and sell them. In this way God helped his
suffering servant 10 work tor his family and
although be could not earn very much, yet
they were kept from want. God never for
gets those who trust in him. Blind Mary
visited her father in the jail and received
from him a stock of laces for ale each day.
All, dare say there were many good peo-
pie who would buy of the prisoners blind
daughter, and speak kind word to the
poor child.
John BunYan's mind was not idle, any
more than his hands, ev, n in prison. While
his busy fingers were at work upon the lases,
ne was thinking those great ana wise thoughts
which be afterwards wrote out, and which
nave come down TO US in that beautiful story,
the Pilgrim Progress" and many other
good be ks.
How useful John Bunyan was, even ID his
dark and lonely cell. What lesson for US
who nave our liber Y, and can 20 where we
please, and work for Jesus without tea
