What One Little Girl Did.

When Mr.. Whitefeld was preaching
In New England lady became Chris
tian, and her spirit was much drawn out
in prayer for others. She could per-
suade no one to pray with her but her
little daughter, about ten years of age.
After awhile God saved the child. In
a transport of holy JOY she then ex-
claimed:
80, mother, if all the world knew this
[ wish l could tell everybody. Pray,
mother, let me run to some of the neigh
bors and tell them that they may be hap
Ply and love my Saviour"
"Ah, my child" said the mother,
that would be useless; for I suppose
that, were you to tell your experience,
there is not one within many miles who
would not laugh at you, and say it was
all a delusion.F
20, motherl'' replied the little girl,
think they would believe me- must
go over to the shoemaker and tell him
he will believe me"
She ran over and found him at work
in his shop She began by telling him
that he must die, and that he was a sin
ner, and that she was a sinner, but that
her blessed Saviour had heard her moth
er's prayers, and had forgiven all her
sins, and that now she was so happy she
did not know how to tell it.
The shoemaker was struck with sur
prise, and his tears flowed down like
rain; he threw aside his work, and by
prayer and supplication sought mercy.
The neighborhood was awakened, and
within few months more than fifty per-
sons found Jesus and rejoiced in his love.

These handles reach to the entrance of
the honey-bag and each end in stick
ing plaster. When Sir Moth is done
with the honey, and backs out of the
flower, the two pouches of pollen are
fastened above his eyes like horns In
minute or two they wilt and hang
down before his face in the right posi-
ton to touch the pistil of the next flower
he visits BY inserting small stick in
to an orchis blossom, as moth would
put his head, you may draw out the pol
len pouches on the end of the stick, I'M
less some insect has been in before you
and already removed them.
Many more such devices are to be
found in studying the flowers and new
ones are discovered every year. Each
example of the kind is one more illustra-
ton of how the Lord lets nothing live
for itself alone. The insect eats the
flowers honey but it carries the flower s
pollen. So everything is made in some
way to serve the good of others.-C Chris
tian Union.

starting to write with it; and leaning it over to
one side, Stop stopl' said the pen, letting
still larger tear fall. "Oh can't write at all ;
let me alone, pen" throwing the pen on the
table. Again the pen let dozen tears fall all
around, FIVE or six few in the boys face Its

pen and paper in the drawer, and running out
in the street. "Oh, mel' murmured the pen,
it is good thing he has gone; am sure that
1 am not sorry a bit" and the pen crept into
the box.

"OnIy Five Minutes. /"

You've been stopping on the way,
Tom, said a poor widow to her son as
he gave her the article he had been sent
for. "Why don't you come straight
home when you know my times SO pre-
cious?"
II did 50, mother, until I got to Mr..
Gaskill's, he replied, land then 1 stayed
to have look through the window for
only FIVE minutes"
&" Only five minutes" repeated the
widow, means great deal when you
come to reckon them all up"
Tom Price looked at his mother as if
he did not understand her.
Just reach down your slate" added
the widow, and then you'll see what
mean"
Tom had his slate on his knee in a
tWlnking: what am I to put down,
mother?"
well, begin with five, and then
tell me how many minutes you waste in
the course of day."
Tom wrote the figures, scratched his
head and looked into the fire.
Would thirty be too many2" asked
his mother.
Tom did not think 80.
Very well" continued Mrs. Price;
there are three hundred and sixty-fve
days in year, and half an hour for each
day gives you total of one hundred
and eighty-two and half hours, or up
ward Of fifteen days of twelve hours
each lost in twelve months
Tom Price put his pencil between
his lips and started at the sum before
him.
Suppose you put down two hours for
each day instead of thirty minutes,
added his mother; that will show
year"
Tom Price was sharp lad, and soon
proved the truth of the widows state
ment
So it does, mother" he said.
But when 1 send you for anything I
want, and you stay lettering in the
street, my time has to be reckoned up as
well as yours, hasn't it?"
Of course, Tom could not deny that.
Then try and remember" said the
widow, what a serious loss even FIVE
minutes are to me- You know, my boy,
how very hard I have to work to pay
rent, buy bread and keep you at school,
so you should endeavour to help rather
than hinder your poor mother"
I'll run all the way the next time I
60, said Tom.
No, no don't want you to do that.
/ only want you to bear in mind that
our lives are made up of those same
minutes, and that we cannot afford to
throw them away just as we please"
Like a sensible little fellow, Tom Price
took his mothers lesson to heart, and it
was long, long time before he was again
heard to use the words, Only five min
utes."
