RELIGIOUS NOTES.

Charles Lamb, when a little boy, walking
with his sister in churchyard and reading
the epitaphs said to her:--.Mary, where are
all the naughty people buried?" Who has
not felt at some time the same inquiry rising
up in his snind as he looked through the
cities of the dead? 1t must be that the good
only die, while the wicked live to propagate
the species.

81 amt grateful bit" pouted Ruth.
"Iou,re tired, child, and cross" said the
charcoal-burner, cheerfully. take the pail
and run home, and you'll feel differently
after awhile. Stop, give father good kiss
first"
Ruth held up her cheek to be kissed, but
she did not return the caress, as she took the
tin pail and turned in homeward direction,
walking slowly and with languid step.
When she passed the glade on her return,
heavy mass of black, thunderous clouds
had come over the moon, the band and the
gay little dancers We're gone, and those of the
Chinese lanterns which were not already out,
were slowly dying into darkness as they
swung to and fro in the wind. In the dead
of the night, she was walked by the blaze
of lightning and the answering crash of thun-
der; it was most terrific midngh storm.
And early in the morning, old Simon Sage,
the deaf clock-mender, told a neighbor that
the charcoal-burner's hut on the mountain
had been struck, and its occupant killed.
Poor little Ruth. 1t came back to her, all
at once, the cold kiss with which she had
parted from her father, the words of repining
and discomfort which she had spoken Could
it be possible that God intended this to pun
ish her for her wickedness and fault-finding?
She had fancied herself unhappy last night;
what was she now?
She sas pale, and cold and silent, as her
mother rushed shrieking out of the house.
The unshed tears seemed to burn her ewes
like liquid fire, and they would not drop
from her eyes her heart seemed full to burst
ing agony. Presently her mother came back
laughing and sobbing in the same breath. -
''It's all stupid blunder, Ruth said she
deaf Simon gets everything wrong. Papa
is well and safe, thank Heaven--and it is
poor Mr. Knight who was struck dead by
lightning he sat reading in his study be-
side an open window"
And the little girl who had danced so
merrily, in the forest glades, last night, with
the gauze wings extending from her should
ers, under the colored glitter of the Chinese
lamps, was fatherless this morning-poorer,
far poorer, in her splendid home, than Ruth,

And Ruth never again called herself un-
