[From the Aldinc.]
Tired MWhers.

4 little ehoIf leans upon yul.. knee,
1o'lr tired knee that has SO much to hear;
a cllilds dcar eyes aro looking lovingly
From underneath thatch Of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed The velvet toucI,
Ofwarm, moist fingers holding yours so tight;
You do not prize this blessing ovcrmucI;
You almost are too tired to pray tonight.
But tits blcascdness a year ago
did not see it as do to-day
We arc all So dull and tlianklesa, and too
slow
To catch the sunshine as it slips away.
An, AND now IT seems surprising strange to me
Ihat, while wore the badge OF neither
haod,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought ne only good.
And if, some night, when you sit down to
You miss This little elbow from your tired
This fcstless curly head from lryour breast,
lllls lisping tongue that cliattcrs constantly;
If from your own the dinlplcI hands had
slipped,
And ne'er would nestle on Your palms again;
IL the white feet into the grave had trippcd,
1 could not blame you for Your hcart.achc &
then.
| wonder so that mothers cvcrfrct
AT little children clinging to their gown;
Or that the footprints, when the days are
vet,
Are ever black enough to make them frown.
III could find a little muddy boot,
Or cap or jacket on my chamber floor;
If could kiss Il rosy, restless foot,
And hear i. i,stter in my home oiics more.
If I could mend q broken cart to. day,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the sky-
THERE'S no woman in Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than l.
But ah J! the dainty pillow next my own
Isnever .rumpled by II shining head;
MY singing birding from its nest lIas flown;
The little boy used to kiss is dead!

Some weeks ago, Reuben began to
ponder. He had never been bad
niger, but lie had never embraced
Christianity, much to the sorrow Of
aunt Susan, his wife, who has been pre-
pared for heaven, 10! these many
years past. The more he pondcrcd,
the more he became convinced that he
ought to become n christian, and aunt
Susan encouraged him with tender
words and fearful eyes.
The old man came to town several
days ago to see about joining a church,
and was informed that he would havc
to be baptized before lie could become
Il member. He didn't relish the idea
much, but he informed his wife that
he would consent, and she claspcd her
lands and replied:
GLORY TO Richmond angels am
n comm" !"
Uncle Reuben got tho idea the other
day that he'd like 10 try the water
alone before being publicly baptized,
and, while his wife was getting break
fast ready, he slipped down to the
river bank to take II prctaratory dip.

He put one foot in the water, drew
back with shivcr, put in the other,
and looked longingly toward the
house. at that moment Aunt Susan
began singing:
"Wcs gwine mp to glory:
Yves gwine on the cars!'
And old Reuben braced up and en-
tered tho water.
"4es, we's gwinc up to glory" l,o

even more than in illness it is important
to have experienced nursing:
