Bend or Break.

l was on avisit to friend in
the country. His house stood be-
side little stream, ,on both sides
of which trees were growing. AT
the back was a range of hills,
down which the wind swept with
great power. One of the days OF
my visit, the night set in with
signs of storm. And a stormy
night it was. The wind roared,
. and wlistled, and the sound was
the louder as it rushed through
the trees and swept to and fro.
When morning came, we found
that though the storm had ceased
it had left evidences of its vio-
lence. Flowers and shrubs, where
much exposed, were torn, and in
some cases battered to the earth.
Leaves were hurled together in
to corners, branches were torn
from the trees, and in one case a
large elm was broken down.
uOneaot the ladies of the family
had gone into the garden to look
how it had Jared with her flowers.
AS she did so, two little girls
passed. The younger of the two
had seen the tree, and had told
her neighbor about it, and they
were discussing its fate. How
had that tree been broaken and
blown down, was the question,
while the other trees around had
stood! "O," answered the elder
''when the wind came and blew
harder and harder, the, tree said
won't bend;and SC, ,as it wouldn't
bend, the wind broke it tore it up;
and but the others said, ,I'll bend;
and as they bent they were not
broke nor blown down." When
informed ofthis on the lady's re-
turn, 1 Thought, There's good les
for some of my little friends, and
l must, tell the story, to them. :
It had been better for some
boys | know if they had said in
their heart, I'Hbend, when they
weuid not yield, and now they
are broken,O, how sadly! And
some at school wouldn't bend but
rebelled, and were punished and
expelled, and they are broken
now. And some; when affiiction
come upon hem,woud not yield
their hearts to God, as he wished
but hardened their necks, and
they have been broken. And
some, who were servants to 9th
ers, would not bend to the will
OF their masters, though it was
right; and they are now as USE
less as the broken tree. Gh|
A proud febellious spirit is not
a good one. 1t is sure to bring
him who cherishes it to- wreck
and ruin. Pride goeth before de-
struction, and haughtyspirit bes
fore fall. Better yield obedi-
ence than be stubborn. Better
obey your parents in the Lord;
for this is right. Better do your
dutyTto5 those yoq,have engaged
to serve, as the Bible bids. And
