Half a Victory.

| will tell you how it was. Jack had
been told he must not 60 to see certain
boy called Sam without asking his fathers
permission. Sam lived in place where
there were great many boys, and Jack
loved dearly to be with them There were
many things to play with, and everything
vas very pleasant. One day some of the
boys said to Jack, Z" Come, let's 90 down to
Sans" So Jack started to 90 along with
them, although he knew be was not doing
right. But after he had gone some dis
tance, his conscience troubled him so much
that he could not bear it any longer. He
was disobeying his father, and he could not
be happy. He determined he would leave
the boys, run home and ask his fathers
permission, aud then he could 90 back with
light heart. But he was ashamed to tell
all this to the boys, so he pretended he did
not want to 60 any farther, and said, 90
boys, don't care to 60 down there I'm
going home" So he started back to ask
his fathers permission This was given
and he went off merrily, almost overtaking
the boys in his haste to get there.
Now this was only half victory. 1t
was better than nothing, but it was not o
right good, honest victory. If little Jack
had done quite right be would have said
at first, " Boys, | can't 60 with you, until
have asked father" That would have
been lcbole victory. He would have told
the truth and been obedient too.-Adrocatt
and Guardian.

1t was little thing, the mothers an
swer, but the quick sympathy and ready
tact made all right. The boys heart was
comiorted, and he went on with his play,
while the mother sewed quietly, with no
jar Of nerves or temper, and aunties call
lost none Of its pleasantness.

said Josie after a while.

a man who wished to buy handsome
ring went into a jewelers. in Paris and de-
sired to see some. The jeweler showed
him very ancient gold ring remarkably
fine and curious on this account, that on the
inside Of it were two little lions claws
The buyer, while looking at the others, was
playing with this; at last he purchased
another and went away, But he had
scarcely reached home, when first his hand
then his side, then his whole body became
numb and without feeling as if he had had
stroke Of the palsy; and it grew worse
and worse, till the physician who came in
haste, thought him dying.
"You must somehow have taken poison,
he said The sick man protested that he
had not At length some one remembered
this ring, and it was then discovered to be
what used to be called a death-ring, and
which was often employed in those wicked
Italian states three or four hundred years
ago. If a man hated another, and desired
to murder him, he would present him with
one of them. In the inside was drop oI
deadly poison, and very small hole out
Of which it would not make its way except
il was squeezed. When the poor man was
wearing it, the murderer would come and
shake his hand violently, the lions claw
would give his finger scratch, and in q
ie hours he was a dead man.
For four hundred years this ring had
kept its poison, and at the end Of that time
it was strong enough almost to kill the mar
who had unintentionally scratched his fin
ger with the claw; for he was only saved
by great skill on the part of the physician
and the strongest medicines.
How like this poison is to sin. You com
nit sin now, and for the present forget it
and perhaps ten or twelve years hence the
wound you then, so to speak, gave yourself
may break out again, and that more dan
gerously than ever. And the greatest
danger Of all is lest the thoughts of sins
committed, and the pleasure we had in com
mtting them, should come back upon us il
the hour of death, to appear against US il
the day Of judgment.
