There Is il a beautiful myth faasing on

reads thus: a pair Of chiIdren-a sturdy
boy and gentle girl, are wandering rs
playful idleness through an old garden,
overgrown with weeds and rank grass.
The boy f0d5 a bunob of key---he

curious and oil pattern, rusted and
worn
They look with Indifference upon the
KEYS, but having few to7s they keen
them; days pass hy-tbe keys are rorZo5-
ten, till one dag they f7d an II door =st
10 a wall, over which the weeping willow
hangs, hiding the framework with It's
heavy foliage as if weary Of lts trust,
and anxious to give it up. The boy aid
girl, still piaymates, search vitA patience,
for way 10 open the door; and n Lass
finding the keyhole thick with cObWebs,
they tear them eagerly away, and push
the kew into the lock The door creaks
slowly their strength Is scarcely suth-
Gent to force it to turn on its rusty
hinges, but they persevere, and at lass
they step through II, into a land so fair, 2
scene so lovely, they hold their very
breath with delight.
Read yeu the lesson aright2 TIE door
in the neglected garden Is the crust of
selfshness which has O'ergrown the
hearts of the old and sOrry-weary' the

tongue clean, tho heart single. TO these
