TELLING 4 STORY.

Ii tie Blue-cyes is sleepy,
Come here and be rocked to sleep;
What shall | tell you, darling
The story of little 30 Peep
Or the cows in the garden,
Or the children who ran away:
If I'm to be story.teller,
What shall tell you, pray:
"Tell me. the blue eyes opened
Like pansies when they blow
"Of the baby in the manager.
The little Child. Christ you. know
like to hear that story
The]best OF all you tell.'
And my four-year Old nestle closer
AS the twilight shadows fell.
And told my darling over
The old, old tale again,
OF the babv in the manager,
And the Christ who died for men;
or the great warm heart of Jesus,
And the children whom he blessed,
Like the blue-eyed boy who listened
AS he lay upon my breast,
And prayed as NV darling slumbered, i
That my child with eyes so sweet
Might lean from his Saviom'5 lesson
And sit at the Masters feet.
Pray Go he may never forget it,
But always love to hear
The tender touching story
That nov he holds so dear!
