and such reioicings were held over the
little Tom-boy as never had been heard
of before.
Poor Joe almost cried when Dick
told him that she didn't get a whipping
at all, but sat up until ten o'clock, and
had four doughnuts. He wishes he

guardian angels always watching little

Mistaken.

Ye say that love is strong as death;
Ye know not what We speak.
Shall love be as the feeble breath,
The color on the cheek ?
Stronger than death or woe or time
Is He who rules above;
And though the storms Of ages chime
His own words, "God is love-"
Death is the subject slave of love;
For love is God on high
Stronger than death, love rules above,
Till death himself shall die.
