Hide Me From Papa.

"Plrase take me home with you aud hide
me, so papa cant find me-"
The speaker OF the above touching word.
was little child just two years OF age. Sh,
was endowed with unusual sprightliness and
loveliness, both OF person and disposition.
We had been visiting her mother, and, on
leaving, had taken the dear little one to ride
short distance.
We said, Now, Mary, kiss US good-by
it is too cold 10 take you any farther" The
little darling looked up with the most pit
eous expression, aud clinging TO me, said, h
her baby words, 40, Lenny, please take lht
home with you and hide me, SO papa eau I
find me-"
o darling, precious Mary, how my heart
ached Tor you rs ! pressed you to my bosom
What visions OF sorrow and cruelty your
words called up How terrible it seemed
that one so young and Innocent should know
so much of fear
As rode homewards, the thought would
again aud again recur to me. O, that al
who have helped in any way to make her
father drunkard could have heard that
piteous appeal, could have seen those baby
hands raised in entreaty, aud her lips quiy
erng with suppressed emotion.
Surely, surely, the heart of the most hard
ened whiskey dealer would have been reache
aud sumbering conscience would have been
awakened 10 true sense of the terribl,
amount of wretchedness caused by the use
OF ardent spirits.-Richmond Advocate.

The Bitter Fruit.

III the days of King Solomon there lived
among the Jews wise man named Lokman
Many stories are told about him, and various
written by him. He was a native of ETH
opia; and after being slave in many couu,
tries he was finally sold among the lsraeltes
Some suppose him to have been the same
with Esop, and all agree in saying that he
was truly good man, " remarkable for the
love of God and reverence OF his holy name
always speak the truth without dis
guise, said he. "Strictly keep your prom
ises :" and " Do not NEEDLE with what does
not concern you"
Good advice, certainly but what ] want
to tell particularly is the following incident
His master once gave him very bitter kind
OF melon, called the coloquintida; he ate il
without making wry faces or speaking
word.
How was il possible for you to swallow
so nauseous a fruit 2" asked the master.
l.okman answered, " have received SC
many sweets from you that it is not won
deriul | should have swallowed the only
bitter fruit you ever gave me"
The master was SO much charmed with
this reply that he gave Lokman his liberty
The beautiful answer might teach us q
lesson. We take the gifts from our heay
enly Father with a smiling face; but when
he sees best for our good to send us some
thing We do not like, our countenance falls
and even if we not speak, our sullen dis
content is apparent 10 ais 5. Visitor.
