"Give us this Day Our Daily Bread


In miserable cottage at the bottom
of hill, two children lowered over a
smouldering fire. A tempest ragged
without a fearful tempest-against
which man and beast were alike power
less.
A poor old miser, much poorer than
these shivering children, though he had
heaps of money at home, drew his rag
ged cloak about him as he crouched
down at the threshold of the miserable
door He dared not enter for fear they
would ask pay for shelter, and he could
not move for the storm.
81 am hungry, Nettie,,
$50 am |; Eve hunted for a potato par
ing and can't find any"
'What an awful STORM"
Eyes, the old tres has blown down.
! guess God took care that it didn't fall
on the house See, it would certainly
have killed US.
eff he could Do that, couldn't he send
us hresd y
II guess so; let's pray Our father
and when We come to that part, stop
till we get some bread.
So they began, and the miser crouch
ing and shivering listened. When they
paused, expecting in their childish faith
to see some miraculous manifestation, n
human feeling stole into his heart; God
sent some angel ~ soften it. lie had
bought d loafat the village thinking it
would last him great many days, but
the silence of the two little children spoke
ouder to hing than the voice of many
waters. He opened the door softly,
threw in the loaf and then listened TO
the wild, eager cry of delight that came
from the half famisbed little Snes.
ut dropped right from heaven, didn't

Yes; mean to love God forever, for
giving us bread because we asked him.

Why never Thought God was 50 good,
Yes, l always thought SO, but
never quite knew it before.
Lets ask him to give father work 10

The stos1n paseed-the mfser went
home. A little flower had sprung up
in his heart; it was no longer barren.
In q few weeks he died, but not ibefore
he had given the cottage, which was his,
to the poor laboring man.
And the little children ever after felt
sweet and solemn emotion when in
their matinal devotions they came to
those trustful words, ''Give US this day

What. They Lost.

Near London there lived an old couple.
In early life they had been very poor;
but the husband became a Christian
and God blessed their industry, and
they we're living in comfortable retire
mept, when one day @ stranger called
on them and asked their subscription to
a charity. The old lady had less relig-
ion than her husband, and still hank
cred after the Sabbath earnings and easy
shiIlings which Thomas had given fIom
ressle to the law of God. So when the
visitor asked for their contribution she
interposed and said, WHY, sir, we have
lost deal by religion since We first
begun; my husband knows that very
we'll. Have we not, Thomas" After n
solemn pause, Thomas answered: Eyes,
| Mary, we have Before | got religion,
Mary, had an old slouched hat, tat
cred coat and mended shoes and stock
ings; but | have lost them long ago.
And YOU know, that, poor as was, had
tue habit o. getting drunk and quarrel
ing with you; and that you know | have
lost. And then had a hardened con
/ science and wicked heart, and ten
thousand guilty fears; but all are lost
completely lost and like milestone cast
into the sea. And Mary, you have been
loser, too. Before we got religion,
Mary, you had washing tray. And
yoQ had 8 gown and bonnet much the
worse for wear, b4t Joy have lost them
long ago: and you had many an aching
heart concerning me at times; but those
you have happily lost. And l could
even wish that you had even lost al
much as lost, for what we lose for re
ligion viii be an everlasting gain.

FASHION NOTES.

In some Of the new dresses the usual
draperies at tho hack are exchanged for
an enorIa1a baby bow, placed on the
upper part Of the skirt; the two loops fall
half way down the skirt, and the wide
lappels fall within six inches Of the
edge. The whole bow is made Of the
same material a. the dress but lined
with somewhat stifflining, so a. to keep
it firmer, 1t looks especially well in
soft silk, such az plain or shot surah,
striped or shaded silks.
EmhrOideries are so fine and pretty
this season that it seems az if they
were made by machine, 50 perfectly do
they rival the finest efforts Of the skill
ed needlewomen Each handsome pat
tern is now shown in graduated designs,
with insertins to match, Thus the
patchy effect Of seeing several STYLES
of work ia one garment Is avoided.
There s fancy for embroideries that
simulate lace. Diamonds Of lace work
alternating with medallions Of close work
is one Of the Prettiest Of the wider pat
terms
A pretty summer toilet for Young
lady is of printedmusiin delaine, white,
sprigged with blue. The skirt is gath
cred round the waist into a deep but
very full hOunoe and continued into four
more hounces, each edged with band
Of blue glace surah. The bodice is
closely shirred in at the waist, then con-
tinued into a fully plated tournure.
In front it is gathered on each side with
shirring, and put Or to waist band Of
surah. At the neck it is finished with
closly shirred collar, opening in front
with small revers Of surah and il filed
in with little ruches. The sleeves have
shirred cuffs, finished with hand Of
snrah.
