An Outstretched Hand.

Il stretch forth my hands unto thee" arn
the words of the Psalnist, whose illusirntiOn
may be fouUd in the following pathetic story
told by John i. 6Ough:
Two street Arabs were al the same time in
a London hospital One had been run over
and was fatally hurt. The other, Just re-
covering from fever, was allowed to lie down
by the side Of the Iit;!s crushed boy. He
crept up 20 him and said,-
Bobby, did you never hear sbou. JesusW
''Na, never heard Of him"
"Bobby, Wect 10 Mission School once.
and they told Us that Jesus would take you
to heaven when you die, and you'd never
have hunger any more, and no more pain if
you axed him"
81 couldn't ask such great big gentleman
as he is to do anything for me. He wouldn't
stop to speak to boy ike me-"
"But he'll do all that fyou az him"
Chow can | ask him if don't know
where be lives and how could l get there
when both ny legs il broken ?"
''BObby, they told me at Mission School 81
how Jesus passes by. Teacher says he goes
around. How DO you know but what he
might come to this hospital this very nigbtr
You'd know him if you was to see him"
"But can't keep my eyes open, my legs
feel So awful bad. Doctor says III die"
Bobby hold 10 your band. and he'll know
what you want when he passes by"
They got the hand ~. 1t dropped. Tried
again. 1t slowly fell back Three times he
got up the little hand, only to let it fall.
Bursting into tears, he said 81 give it up"
"Bobby. lend me yer hsnd put ger elbow
oD my piiler can do without il"
So one hand was propped up.
And when they came in the morning. the
boy lay dead. his hand still held up for Jesus

Aud then, under the magic Influence of
her deity iogers, confusion was suddenly
banished and when Mr.. Granger camo
round to spend the evening, ho decided that
nobody had prottier wife or tidier homo
than bis friend Tom Csrter.
Wise little Nellie having gained possession
of the matrimonial field, took good care to
keep it until Tom was quite cured of his
careless habits.
Sometimes % seemed threatened with
relapse but Nellie, instead of scolding, only
had quietly to bring something; of her own
and lay it beside whatevet he had tossed

diateiy, for Tom seldom fails to take the hint.
