What a Child can Do.
ST.. LOUIS. March 9Th. Is

O1. hOO1S, hdrCn OIn, 1SOO.
In this, great city of the West dwells a
certain family from Petersburg, Virginia
and in the family is bright little four
year old Virginia boy whose first name
is Tappey, and he is member of the in
FAINT class in the Pine Street Presbyterian
church Sunday School-the church of
which the Rev DIR. E. H Rutherford is
the beloved pastor.
Next door to the house in which lit
tie Tappey resides there dwells beauti-
full little flaxen haired girl whose name is
Lille. She is nearly four years of age,
but her parents not being members Of
any church she has never been to Sab
bath School. Tappey and Lille are great
friends, and are devoted to each other as
little playmates One bright afternoon
recently, Lilies parents went out for a
carriage drive, and invited Tappey to ac-
company them and their little ones, and
while they were whirling along one of the
many beautiful driving routes adjacent
to the city, Tappey sang that beautiful
little Sunday School hymn
Around the throne of God in heaven
Thousands of children stand,
Children whose sins are all forgiven,
A holy, happy band,
Singing glory glory,
Glory be to God on high"
Lilies parents listened quietly while
the little boy sang the entire hymn, and
then Mrs. j said:
Tappey, where did you learn that
beautiful hymn?"
Tappey looked somewhat astonished,
and replied "Why at our Sunday
School, of course He then turned to
Lille and said
Lille, did you ever go to Sunday
Upon being answered "no," he said,
wouldn't you like to go?'
The sweet little girls face frightened
at the thought, and she quickly answered
Eyes, I would"
Tappey then said. Mrs. j, won't
you let Lille go with me to Sunday
School ?"
Eyes, said the lady, moved by the
earnestness with which the simple re-
quest was made, Lille shall go with you
next Sunday, if the weather be good"
Thank you, said Tappey, and the
little fellow returned home perfectly
happy and told his mother that Lille
was going with him to Sunday School to
learn to sing
Around the throne of God in heaven"
Thus the good influences of the Sab
bath School are exerted for the glory of
the Redeemer through the medium of the
infant classes. HARRY SCRATCH

What Made Lille Mis'able.

Oh, DEAR I'm Just as mis- able as ever
/ can be, sighed little Lille Charming,
as she rocked back and forth in her little
chair, with her feet upon the hearth of
the base-burner in the sitting room. She
held her slate in her lap, and the tears
dropped down upon it, now and then,
blotting the figures which lay sprawled
over it.
Hi, hi what should make my pet
miserable, want to know?" said grand
pa, who came in just at that minute.
Why, grandpa, said Lille, Just see
here, I'm 'termined to understand bor-
rowing, so [ can be perfect tomorrow,
and I've tried and tried, but I don't
know how to borrow"
Don't know how to borrow, Lille
Well, that's good (. wish John GROCER
didn't understand that quite so well, for
then he wouldn't break the teeth all out
of my rake
"0h but, grandpa, said Lille, laugh
ing of course | don't mean that kind Of
borrowing Now, grandpa, I do wish
you'd 'splain it to to me-
All right, my dear, let me see your
slate"
Lille held up her slate with the fol-
lowing example in subtraction on it:

The Wise King.
A FABLE.

There was certain king who was re.
puted to be very wise. There came a
Judge from far country to see him, and
to prove his wisdom. As the judge rode
towards the city of the great king, he
passed poor man upon the road, who
was sick and very weak and he made
the poor man ride behind him upon his
horse, as he found they were going to the
same place.
But when they reached the city, the
poor man claimed the judges horse
maintaining that it belonged to him.
The judge was much disp pleased with
this; but he was also very glad, because
he thought he should now be able to test
the wisdom of the king, and to know
whether what he had heard of him was
true.
The two went to the king with the case.
The king said: Leave the horse here,
and return, both of you, tomorrow at
noon
While they yet stood before the king,
there came into his presence also a
butcher and an oil-dealer, disputing
about purse of money, which the
butcher said was his, and which the oil
dealer said was his The king said,
Leave the purse here, and return, both
Of you, tomorrow at noon.
No sooner was this said, than there
came a scribe and muleteer, with a
woman whom each of the two men
claimed as his wife. The king said to
the men, Leave the woman here, and
return, both of you, tomorrow at noon. -
Noon of next day came, and all the
men stood a second time before the king.
First addressing the poor man, he said
" Go and point out which of all those
horses belongs to you The man obeyed.
Then the king addressed the like com
mand to the Judge; and he obeyed.
Thereupon the king said, "Give the
horse to the judge, and give the begger
forty stripes. He said also, Give the
purse to the butcher, and give the oil
dealer forty stripes" He said finally,
Give the woman to the scribe for she is
his wife; give the muleteer forty stripes. 8"
After this the judge, being permitted
to speak privately with the great king,
asked him how he had been able to Judge
as he had done for in each case it ap-
peared that the Judgment was lust.
The king said When the poor man
went up to the horse, the animal did
not recognize him--he knew the horse,
but the horse did not know him; but
when you went he recognized you, and
from the tips of his ears downwards he
was all over smiles. Then as to the
purse; / ordered it to be boiled for a
time and by-and-by there were clear
signs of fat, but no signs Of oil. And in
regard to the woman, she was ordered
by me to provide barley for a lot Of
mules, and she could not do it; but she
succeeded beautifully in arranging the
papers and other writing materials of a
scribe"
The Judge was greatly pleased with
the wisdom and justice of the king the
king, too, was greatly taken with this
Judge who appreciated him, and made
him stay with him ever after, to help him
in his judgments
