whole cover off, Out jumped two fright
ened little rabbits, and Charley stood
looking at them, himself too frightened
to give chase, even had there been any
use in doing 80. They were soon out Of
sight, while the disobedient boy could
only sit down beside the basket and
cry.
He wasted an hour in tears, and then
took up the empty basket, tied down
the cover, and went home with it.
His mother heard him walk in the
back door, and without looking up from
her work, she said, Charley, put the
basket in the back she'd"

Poor Charley how mortified he felt,
that his disobedience had been the cause
of his losing the rabbitsl He sat down
beside the empty basket. But there was
no one to blame but himself. He had to
own, that time at least, that father was
right.

Obedience.

Charlie was nice, bright boy ten
years Old He did not look, however,
as if he was as wise as his father, and yet
he must have thought that he was, for
ne preferred to have his own way instead
of doing what his father bid him do.
If mis- mother said to him, " Charley,
father wants you to go with him down
town" he would be sure to say, "Why,
mother?' Or if she said, " Charley, take
this letter to the post office, he would
inquire why one of the other children
could not go.
Thus, you see, he never quite agreed
to the arrangements that his parents
made for him; and from that cannot but
think he was wiser (in his own opinon(
than any one else.
He brought punishment upon him
self, one day, and 1 think that after that
he was not quite so sure but that obedi-
ence to his parents was best.
There may be some of our little read
ers who think as Charley did, that they
know best, instead of always obeying
their parents without any questions as to
why and wherefore. If there are such
among those who read this little incident,
| want them to learn from Charley s
punishment lesson of obedience, with
out being obliged to learn that lesson
from some sad experience of their own.
Charley has studied very hard this

A week after this Charley S father said,
My son, you must 90 over to Farmer
Greene's on an errand for me when you
come home from school, Ask him for that
basket of mine, Which l left there, and
be very sure, Charley, that you don t
unite the basket and open it."
Charley got the basket from the farmer,
and walked on nicely and quietly until
he reached little brook, where he sat
down to rest He remembered what his
father had said about not opening the
basket, but he thought it would do no
harm Just to look in. In doing so he
shook the basket and after turning it
upside down several times, he got the

years old, likewise an orphan child, and
a cripple all her life long. She had had
foot taken off, and much to endure.
But she had also come to the knowledge
of the Saviour; and now it was a great
source of enlivenment when the two chill
dren talked with each other of the love
of the Lord Jesus, and repeated to one
another the verses which they had re-
ceived. Young as these children were,
they were shining light for our Lord
Jesus in that dark place where much sin
and godlessness prevail. There were
many old women there, sick and feeble,
but but full of envy and malice, who
gave the children many bad nick
names, and made sport Of them, when
they talked with each other of our Sa-
viour. Even there it was not easy to be
Christian.
But the children did not allow them
selves to be frightened at that; they were
all the more good and accommodating to
these old women, whenever an opportuni-
ty presented itself at the different meal
times or other little occasions; aud it is
quite remarkable thing how the opposi-
ton of the old women was quite broken
down by the quiet behavior of the chill
dren; and two or three of them were
glad to let them tell them of Christ, and
were converted to him.
You dear little children who read
| this, you, too, can do much for your
Lord and Saviour, if you are always
obedient, and keep away from every
strife and quarrel, and walk in love.
Yes, you can help very much, too, in
sending flowers. If you pick flowers, tie
those together in bouquets, and give them
to those who collect such bouquets, and
send them to the great cities, where they
will be carried to the hospitals for the
sick and in6rm, to bring JOY to the sick
ones.
Yes, you can also hunt up suitable
verses, and write them on slips of paper,
so that they can be distributed with the
bouquets, and tell those who lie sick and
sorrowful of Him who is their true physi-
clan and friend. The poor invalid, as he
looks at his flower, is reminded of the
giver's thoughtfulness; and, as he reads
his text, he thinks of the loving-kiudness

A Boys Logic.

A little boy in Leicester was-induced
to sign the Band of Hope pledge. His
father was a collector, and one day a
publican called upon him for the purpose
of paying his taxes. In the course of
conversation it came out that the little
boy was teetotaler.

sheer, A mere boy like that a teeto-
taler?"

"And you mean to say that you have

The little fellow came up to him, took
hold of him quietly by the arm, and
repeated his words: F." You say, sir, I am
too young to be teetotaler?"

he. " will ask you question; you are

Do All to the Glory of God.

Oo AL W Cle IIOTy Oh GOO.
"Please, Miss Nellie, will you tell me
how can do every little thing for the
glory of God?".
Sabbath School was over, and the
scholars were rapidly leaving the room ;
but in one class there fingered little
maiden, whose heart, being newly filled
with love for Christ, was eagerly seekino
means whereby she might show it.
During the lesson Miss Nellie had
striven to impress upon the minds of her
listeners the duty and necessity of all
Christians, old or young, rich or poor
working for Christ and the verse
Whatsoever thing we do, do all to the
glory of Cod had given rise to little
Allie Netherlands question.
Miss Nellie, hearing her name spoken
turned bright loving eyes upon her ques-
TONER and as she met the earnest inqu
ing gaze fixed upon her, she said:
Sit down a moment, dear, and I will
tell you a few ways in which you can
serve God. You have little baby sister,
have you not?"
eyes, Ma am"
{" Does not your mother often wish you
to take care of baby, and do you always
do so willingly"
Allie dropped her head, as visions of
times when she had done her mothers
bidding in very ungracious manner, pre-
sented themselves. Without waiting for
a verbal answer the teacher proceeded:
You are often sent on errands; often
have to help wash dishes, or do other
house-work; do you always hasten when
so told to do? Are you always cheerful
when at your work? The Lord does not
ask you to do any great work for Him.
By that [ mean work that would seem
great to you, but He does ask of you to
think of Him at all times, in all places,
and to let your thoughts to Him govern
your words and actions, and can assure
you, when thinking of Jesus, your lips
will not utter harsh words, nor will un-
kind thoughts find harbor in your heart.
And, dear, you must not think to do
these little things for Christ without his
aid. Pray earnestly to be led and trust
ing In him, you may be confident,
whether at home helping mother, at
school doing your duty, among your
companions speaking kind words, or
wherever you are, you aOiU do all to the
glory of God. >"
Time passed, and when six months af-

years Of age, united herself with Gods
