The Two Servants,

'Good-morning, said Chrystal tc
Bubble, as. each attended by his two
servants, they met on the bank of The
river. How have you enjoyed your
self lately? Does everything 90
well?'
'Capitally.' replied Bubble. q
spend my days in perfect round OF
pleasure. Isn't it great thing to
have such powerful friend as Nam.
mon: He gave me a pot of gold
only yesterday, and every httle yell
low coin means a new delight. Have
you seen him lately? l hear that he
is equally generous with YOU
1t Is true said Chrystal; me has
given me a pint of diamonds this
very morning; and suppose l can
buy anything in the world. There
= nothing that | need deny myself.
And vet 1 do not feel quite easy
Chrystal hesitated. 1t seems some
fines as if we ought to he thinking
about-as if We ought TO le4 doing
something shout
Those building-blocks, interrupt
ed Bubble, Struggling his shoulders.
That is just what Rieht-hand has
been harPing about all the morning.
Do YOU know the fellow had the
imputcnce to tell me, BHbLl1 low
cred his voice, that it was wrong TO
be thinking so mueh Of my own
pleasure; that it was no matter
whether | was happy CT not; that
my only business here-for tie little
time that l st@id-wasE to get 10
gether building material for house
in the Golden City
Did he gay how you were TO do
this ao-iLI Crystal.
Yes. He said that every time We
lid a good deed, there would be a
buiIding-block laid at our door. This
would be carried by special lnesseu-
gers to our great Friend in the Col
den City, who woulc build it-in
case there was no flaw III the stone
into a house that would be ready for
Us when we came
Exactly what my Rieht-hand
said to me- said Chrystal, thought
fully Ttmust be true; and | have
never yet found one building-bIock
at my door He looked yearninglY
away to the east, where could be
dimly seen the golden spires of the
lovely city, with towers from which
foated banners of crimson and blue.
4 am sure l wish it wasn't true,
fretted Bubble 4 don't want to 90
to-any better land than this. l should
like to stay here always
Ghrystal sighed. 'Yeu don't like
your servants very much, them said
he, BY way Of changing the subject.
'Ob, Left-hand is very clever fef-
low said Bubble. There have been
some bad stories about him; as, for
instance, that he was born. down in
Shadow Land, just beyond the Black
Forest
Here Chrystal and Bubble both
looked down the river and .shiyered
a little; it was so dark. and gloomy
in that direction, and the clouds took
such threatening shapes.
But. hush!' said Bubble, don't
let the poor fellow hear; he is very
sensitive about it; nothing hurts his
feelings so nue1A.- And he is such
delightful fellow, after all, with the
sweetest voice In the world; | love
TO listen 70 him. Now, Right-hand,
the prig, is so tiresome- 1t is always,

ought. One never can have any
peace
But they say he was born in the

With, now and then, novel moralities;
And we've weekly e1horting from pulpit TO pew ;

YOU
Scarce any are better than Little Boy Blue"
For the veteran dame knows her business right
well
And her quaint admoniuons unerringly tell:
she strings few odd careless words in jingle
and the sharp latent truth fairly makes your
ears tingle.
Azure robed youth, she cries ''up TO thy post!
And watch lest thy wealth be all scattered and
lost.
silly thoughts are astray, beyond cali OF the horn
And Passion breaks loose, and gets into the corn!
Is this the way Conscience looks after her sheep.
In the worlds soothing shadow, gone souRdiy
