Ais u sss is.O late. sad thu sands roll
ed under her feet, .ad down she vcnt %
the bottom When In an instant that lit
tie black horn opened like . pair Of
shears, and clip" and the poor ant had
one leg cut of. Now she saw her danger,
and struggles 70 mount up the sides. The
lion did not move or show himself. He
knew what he was about. And now the
thing struggles to climb up; but one leg
is gone, and she finds it hard work. But
she got almost to the top and almost out,
when the sands slip, and down she rolls
again to the bottom. "Clip" goes the
shears, and q second leg is gone.
She now seems terrified beyond meas
ure, and struggles hard; but she gets up
but q little way before she slips again,
and another leg is off! She now gives
up the struggle, and the lion devours her
in few minutes, and then, with snap
of his tail or paddle throws the skin Of
the ant entirely out of the cup, and the
trap is now set for another. A fly crept
down to see what was smelling 90 good
there; and again "clip," and bis wing
was of! and he was second course of
the dinner. I found several more such
dens, and around them lay the skins of
the dead, but the inside looked clean and
innocent. There was no lion to be seen,
but the destroyer was therel The dead
ara showed out of sipht.
o ant-lion! you are preacher to me
now see how it is that our young men,
Is they walk over sandy places, have
their feet slide. They go into the hotel.

of drink; and "clip," they are crippled.
They will soon roll back and take an

their power to escape. They 60 to places
of Sin, and know not that the dead are
there! All! every fall makes the next

every improper word they use, every in.

o ant-lion! l wish all our children
could see thee, so cunning for mischief,
so cruel to thy victims, so much like
that lion, the wicked one, who seeketh
"whom he may devour."
