And the snowdrop each night

"TAKE THE OTHER HAND."-We can
not too much admire the beauty and
truth of that philosophy which deter
mines to make the best of it, however
difficult and tiresome duty may be.
Such a spirit in children is attractive
indeed, and powerful lesson to many
who are older.
On lovely day in commencement OF
spring, young lady, who had been
anxiously watching for some weeks by
the bedside of her mother, went out to
take little exercise and enjoy the fresh
air, for her heart was full of anxiety and
sorrow. After strolling some distance
she came to a ropewalk, and, being
familiar to the place, she entered. At
the end of the building she saw little
boy turning large wheel. Thinking
this too laborious employment for such
a mere child, she said to him as she
approached "Who sent you to this
place ?"
Nobody, ma'am 1 came myself"
''Do you get pay for your labor"
''Indeed, L do; | get ninepence a
day."
'What do you do with the money? ?"
"Oh, mother gets it all.
'You give nothing to father, then p
81 have no father, ma'am."
"Do you like this kind of work ?"
"Oh, well enough but if / did not
like it, / should still do it, that might
get the money for mother"
"How long do you work in the day !?
"From nine to twelve in the morning,
and from two till five in the afternoon.
"How old are your"
"Almost nine"
"Do you get tired of turning this
great wheel?"
"Yes, sometimes, ma'am."
Sand what do you do then?"
''Why, l take the other hand"
The lady gave him a piece of money,
''Is this for mother 2" asked the we'll
pleased urchin.
''No, no; it is for yourself, because
you are a good little boy"
"Thank you kindly, ma am, " returned
he, smiling ''mother will be glad"
The young lady departed, and re-
turned home, strengthened in her devo.
ton to duty, and instructed in true
practical philosophy by the words and
example of mere child.
"The next time duty seems hard tc
me-" she said to herself, 81 will initiate
this little boy, and take the other hand.

LITTLE Folks EYEs.-Very wise eye.
they are, and very careful. Just tn.
eyes to spy pins that have been care
lessly dropped on the floor; and t.
search in the furthest corner for grand
mothers ball of yarn which fell from
her fingers when she was taking that
little bit of nap after dinner.
They are many colored blue, and
black, and gray, and brown, but bright
always and almost always full of truth
and courage. They are the eyes that
find out the first grasses that spring up,
and the first violets that grow in the
lane that watch the rose-bush at the
corner of the house, with such loving
patience, from the first little leaf OF
green to the red and fragrant rose that
sweetens all the air. If Little Fingers
pulls one unbidden, why should you
care? Flowers are the children's
friends, and we must be thoughtless
indeed, if we would forbid their recog-
milton of the fact. Let them gather the
flowers, and hold the soft petals up
against their soft little cheeks, ana talk
to them and wonder over them at their
will. How can We know what sweet
lesson our Father is teaching them
meanwhile or guess what sermon is
being preached from the snowy chalice
of the lily?
Wise little eyes How quick they
are to read the signs of the times They
know what smile foretells, and, alas,
they learn what frown forbodes. They
see each faintest shadow on the mother s
face, and they grow tender and wistful =;
sometimes the blue eyes overflow at the
timid comprehension of a mothers
grief.
And do you not suppose they read
and wonder at the lines of impatience
they find there sometimes, and grieve
over the flush of anger they see rising
to your cheek? Do they not spy out
the little careless habit you are indulg-
ing while reproving them for lesser
sin? Do they not see the little selfish
nesses that crop out here and there in
for their sakes, to have spotless?
Wise little eyes, and innocent little
eyes In which We must see the dawn
of worldly wisdom, some day, and the
guilt, perhaps, of forbidden desires in
which We must see the freshness of faith
fade, and the light of trust die out.
All, do not hasten the bitter day.
Bring the peace of Heaven into your
homes, that you may make their lives
peaceful. Let Heavens own sunshine
flood your house, that the shadows may
not creep into the little folks eyes. Be
watchful-be wary-be wise and the
children's eyes shall be wells in which
you shall see mirrored, day by day, the
goodness and the purity that shines
about your own life.
