There was once a kings son who heard
that the people il one Of the kings coua-
tries long way OF used to be afraid Of
the king and used to say that the king did
not care for them. So he thought to him.
self, 81 will 90 aud teach them better"
But he said, If 60 with my fine robes
and crown, they will say, What do you
know about poor mans life You do
not know what it is TO be cold aud half
naked and hungry will put of my
royal dress, aud | will wear clothes like
the poor people, and live and eat as they do"
So he changed bis clothes and left his
palace, and went to that distant country,
and there be lived among the poor, leading
a harder life than any Of them. And yet,
though he was often hungry aud cold, and
sometimes did not know where to fnd a
nights lodging, he never complained, and
never broke the laws
After he had lived in that country for
some time, he went back to the king at
home. 1t happened that soon afterward
the people Of the country sent messengers
to the King to complain that the laws were
too hard The kings son then said to these
messengers, " Believe me, the laws are all
for the best, aud the king loves you as
though you were his own children"
Ah, said the messenger, but you do
not understand our way OF life, how poor
and miserable we are, aud how hard it is
to live" You are wrong" said the
prince; 81 understand your life quite
we'll, for | lived myself as a poor man
among you for a long time | know you
have to suffer a good deal every one Of
your troubles are known to me, for have
suffered the same things Yet still as
sure you that the king is very fond Of you,
and will make you perfectly happy in the
end
Then the people, when they heard that
the kings son had lived among them and
knew all about their troubles, began to be
more hopeful, for they said, He knows
what it is to suffer, and he will surely help
US"
The kings son is Jesus, who is the Son
of God the Father. Jesus was, as we are,
tempted to DO wrong. lie knew what it
was 10 ue poor auu hungry anu houeiess

this he knew what it was to be persecuteC

Do not fancy, then, when you have you

The Time to be Pleasant.

Mothers cross !' said Maggie coming
out into the kitchen with pout on her lips.
Her aunt was busy ironing; but she looked
up aud answered Maggie.
" Then it is the very time for you to be
pleasant aud helpful Mother was awake
a great deal in the night with the poor
baby"
Maggie made no reply. She put on her
hat, and walked off into the garden. But
a new idea went with her. " The very
time to be helpful and pleasant is when
other people arc cross. Sure enough y
thought she; " that would be the time when
it would do the most good. | remember,
when was sick last year. wasso nervous
that if anybody spoke to me, | could hardly
help being cross and mother never got an-
Cry or out of patience but was just as gen.
tie with me. ought to pay it back now
and | will" And she sprang up from the
grass where she had thrown herself and
turned face full Of cheerful resolution to-
ward the room where her mother sat sooth-
ing and tending fretful teething baby.
Maggie brought out the pretty ivory balls,
aud began to jingle them for the little one
He stopped fretting, and smile dimpled the
corners of his lips.
Couldn't | take him out to ride in his
carriage, mother, il is such nice morning2"
she asked.
81 should be SO glad if you would !"
said her mother.
The little hat and sack were brought and
baby was soon ready for his ride.
an keep him as long as he is good, "
said Maggie "and you must lie on the
sofa and get nap while | am gone. You
are looking dreadful tired"
The kind words and the kiss that accom-
panied them were almost too much for the
mother The tears rose to her eyes, and her
voice trembled as she answered, "Thank
YOU, dearie, it will do me world of good II
YOU can keep him out an hour; and the air
will do him good, too. My head aches
badly this morning"
What happy heart beat in Maggie's
bosom as she trundled the little carriage up
and down on the walk. She had done real
good. She had given back little OF the
help and forbearance that had so often been
bestowed upon her. She had made her
mother happier and given her time to rest
She resloyed always to remember and act
upon her auut's good word The very
} time to be helpful and pleasant is when
everybody is tired and cross. Tile Wei

No pleasanter sight is there than family

does not indicate that the little attention is
appreciated, the children soon drop the
habit. Little people are initiative crea-
lures, and quickly catch the spirit sur
rounding them. So, if when the mothers
spool Of cotton rolls from her lap, the
father stoops to pick it up, bright eyes will
see tAe act, and quick minds make note
Of it. By example, thousand times more
quickly than by preccpt, can children be
taught to speak kindly to each other; to ack-
nowledge favors, to be gentle and unset
fish, to be thoughtful and considerate Of
the comfort Of the family. The boys, with
inward pride of the fathers courteous de-
meanor will he chiyalrous and helpful to
their young sisters; the girls, initiating
their mother, will be gentle and patient,
even when big brothers are noisy and heed
less. In the home where true courtesy
prevails, it seems to meet you on the very
threshold You feel the kindly welcome on
entering No rude eyes scan your dress
No angry voices are heard up stairs Nc
sullen children are sent from the room. Nc
peremptory orders are given to cover the
delinquencies of housekeeping or servants
A delightful atmosphere pervades th'
house--unmistakable yet indescribable.-
