looking at the project In the light Of favor

such law. It will fall of Its own weight.

The Chi1d-Dyke.

Holland is beautiful country, full of
green fields. with cattle and sheep graz
ing in the pastures; but there are few
trees and no hills to be seen.
The ground is so flat and low that two
or three times the sea has rushed in over
parts of it, and destroyed whole towns
In one of these foods, about two hundred
years ago, more than twenty thousand
people were drowned
A large part of the water that came in
at the time of that flood still remains.
1t is known as 1.-The Mas" and in one
part of it there is little green island
a part of an old dyke or dam-which is
called the kinder-dyke, or child dyke;
and it got its name In this way:
The waters rushed in over one of the
little Friesland villages, and no one had
any warning. In one of the houses there
lay child asleep in its cradle-an old
fashioned cradle, made tight and strong
of good stout wood By the side of the
cradle lay the old cat, baby's friend,
probably purring away as comfortably
as possible. In came the waters with a
fearful roar. The old cat, in her fright,
jumped into the cradle with the baby
who slept through all the turmoil as
quietly as ever. The house was torn
from its foundations and broken in
pieces. But the little cradle hoated out
on the angry sea in that dark night,
bearing safely its precious burden.
When morning came there was moth
ing to be seen of the village and green
meadows. All was water. Hundreds
of people were out in boats, trying to
save as many lives as possible and on
this little bit of an island what do you
think they found Why, that same old
cradle, with the baby asleep in it, and
the old cat curled up at her feet, all safe
and sound
Where the little voyagers came from,
and to whom they belonged, no one could
tell. But, in memory of them, this little
island was called kinder-dyke' -child-
dyke-and it goes by that name to this
day.-ObserUer.

Saved by an orang-outang.

A nobleman had favorite monkey, a
large orang-outang, which you know is
the largest species of monkey except the
gorilla. This monkey was very much
attached to his master and to the baby
boy, who was the pet of the whole fami-
ly. One day suddenly fire broke out
in the house, and everybody was running
here and there to put it out, while the
little boy in his nursery was almost for
gotten and when they thought of him
the staircase was all in flames. What
could be done? AS they were looking
up and wondering, large, hairy hand
and arm opened the window, and pre-
sently the monkey appeared with the
baby in his arms, and carefully climbed
down over the porch, and brought the
child safely to his nurse. Nobody else
could have done it, for man cannot
climb like monkey, and is not nearly
SO strong. You may imagine how the
faithful creature was praised and petted
after that. This is true story, and the
child who was saved was the young
Marquis of Kildare hildren's Treas
lLTU.

won't do it; I'll have my breakfast in

And so she lounged amongst her pill
lows, and drank her coffee, and nibbled
at her toast, and had no appetite, and
complained of the heat, and sighed and
tretted like a person oppressed with
grief. She had nothing in the world to
do but to amuse herself and take her
ease, and now nothing amused her; and
she tossed about on her fine bed, and
did not find half the rest there that little
Nan took on her hard cot in the garrett
If only she had some useful work to
do how much better she would have
felt She missed all the dew and fresh
ness of the morning; she lost all the pur-
est pleasures Of life. For no one can be
happy that walks through the world
with idle hands and selfish heart.
Little Nan had the best of it, for hon
est work brings a double blessing, and
we serve God best when we do our duty
to men.-Baptist Weekly. \

Which is Best =?

40, dearl" Little Nan opened her
eyes and stretched out her arms with a
sleepy yawn, as the summer morning, all
rosy and sweet, peeped into her garrett
chamber.
" | wish | didn't have to get up so
soon | wish the fire would make itself,
and Pitcher Fairy would bring water
from the spring, and a good Broom
Fairy would sweep the kitchen and grind
the coffee, and a good Brownie would
bring us a lovely breakfast already
cooked I'm tird Of sitting cinders and
washing dishes. / wish l was lady
like Miss Anastasia -
But she wasn't lady, and Pitcher
Fairies and Brownies didn't grow in her
neighborhood; SO little Nan had to shake
OIL her sleepiness and jump up to her
work. The sun was Just coming up
over the edges of the rosy clouds the
robins and the orioles were singing with
all their might; the morning-g1ories had
hung out thousand pink, and purple,
and speckled bells, to welcome the sun
shine; and the pinks and mignonette in
the garden were sparkling with dew
drops. How sweet they smelled, and
how lovely ever thing was in the cool
fresh, beautiful summer morningl
Little Nan came back from the spring
with her cheeks like roses and her eyes
as bright as stars. She danced about
her work as lightly as any Broom Fairy
ever did and the fire was made, the
breakfast cooked for grandmother, and
the dishes washed up afterward, long be-
fore Miss ADastasia raised her drowsy
head from her great, soft, feather pillows
When she did, the sun was streaming
across her pillow, hot and bright. The
flowers on her dressing-table dropped in
the heat; the dew was dried up on the
roses outside.

Two little boys were talking together
about lesson they had been receiving
from their grandmother on the subject Of
Elijah's going to heaven in chariot Of
fire.
Z" / say, Charlie" said George, but
wouldn't you be afraid to ride on such a
chariot2
why no, said Charlie, " should't be

chariots of fire nor anything else could
hurt him when God was present as his

creep around the floor, in charge Of her
three-year-old-son. She instructed the
latter to stay with the baby till she re-
turned. She was gone only about fifteen
minutes, and when she got back she found
the infant tackled to the floor and the
