to the Unknown pond in Ferdinand,

found the pond. After fishing about an
hour without getting nibble, they
concluded to start for home, though it
was raining hard. They got home safe

faith Moses, when he was come to years,
refused to be called the son of PharaOh's
daughter: choosing rather to suffer af-
Fiction with the people of God, than to
enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season.

endeavor and the highest achievement.
The house was crowded to overlooking,
the graduating classic in number
occupying the front seats.

whose spirits are not affected 10y
wet days or little disappointment
One whose milk of human kind
ness does not grow sour in the sun
shine of prosperity! Such a wom-

the house like piece of sunshiny
weather. The magnetism of her
smiles and the electrical brightness
Of her looks and movements infect
every one. The children go to
school with the sence Of something
great going TO he achieved; the
husband goes into the world in
conqneror's spirit. No matter
how people annoy and worry him
through tie day, far off her pre-
sennce shines, and he whispers &c
himself, "At home l shall find
