PROVIDENCE.
A STORY FROM THE DANISH.

One afternoon the good King Rhoud
went to take his customary walk in the
wood of Ledre, with his friend, Earl
Reign, who felt very much alarmed about
the dangerous enemies that were daily
multiplying themselves in the Kings own
palace. He urged the King to consider
some means to prevent it, and to send
Immediately away from his household any
whom he suspected of being treacherous
or Enthusiastically.
Nobody can escape the will of Heaven
we are safe only in Gods hand, said the
King. malice and wickedness have
very long arms, and can reach into the
hidden corners"
II admire your brave trust in Prov-
dence, said Reign, "but were in your
place I should not have moment s
rest"
with no protection but our own fore
thought" said the King, we should none
of use be safe long"
AS they were walking and talking thus
earnestly through the beautiful woods
they heard something scream piteously
in tree.
ut is only little bird, said Reign.
1t does, not sing, it screams" said
the King; the poor thing is in some
trouble.
Let it scream" said Reign, "just now
we have more important affairs to think
of than bird in tree"
The nearest duty first" said the
King; there is nothing more important
just now" and he looked up into the
tree.
at is impossible to rescue it," said
Reign; ait sits too high up" "In the
Isle of Wills I have learned to climb a
tree, and | am not yet so old that ]

But there are no branches down be-
low on the trunk" urged the Earl.
Then you must lift me. am only a
small man, not heavy to raise.
But if you fall and get killed, il
would be an eternal shame to have it said
that our King lost his life for the sake oil

Many have lost it for less said the
King, as he prepared to climb the tree
So the strong, square shoulders of the
Earl helped to lift the slender, agile
King up the trunk, and from thence he
climbed and ventured himself out on the
uppermost branch. He came down safely

Inference against Alpporan WHICH the
Peep draws from them. As to the
first. we are obliged to admit there had
been neglect of duty on the part of Moses
himself who knew the law, and knew how
imperative was the requirement of God
that this rite should be performed. (See
Gen. xvii: 14) And thus Moses left his
wife to do what he ought long ago to
have done himself or caused to be done,
as God required. In that day "sharp
stones were used as knives in that region
of the world and the word used is trans
lated "a knife" on the margins of some
of our Bibles. And the words " cast it
touch his feet" So that the whole con-
duct and the exclamation of Zirporah on
this occasion indicated only the acts and
words of nervous and highly strung
woman who, in crisis of supreme menace
and peril, seized, with the intuitive energy
of a true woman, upon the only means of
deliverance, and performed rite which
her husband ought, long before, to have
solemnized himself Surely, under such
circumstances, her words, though hasty,
were not indicative of the furious temper
attributed to her. Had she not been
there, it is probable the culpable delay
of Moses would have forfeited the life of
his son. Therefore, this brief episode in
the grand narrative of the Exodus does
teach us the Importance of prompt COM
pliance with the positive ordinances of
God, but does not teach us that Zipporah s
temper was so violent and 'unbearable as
to bitter the whole life of her husband.
And as to the other fact, viz: that
Moses sent back his wife and children to
her father when he (Moses) was about to
go on his dangerous errand to Pharaoh,
it is eminently favorable to the view that
the great leader and lawgiver lived hap
PLY with Zipporah. Had he not loved
her and desired her society he would not
have brought her with him when he set
out from indian to return to Egypt and
had he not loved her and sought her safety
he would not have sent her hack to the
tranquil home of her father to be pro-
tected there during the fearful perils of
the exodus. Let it be borne in mind
also, that the whole time of this necessary
separation from his wife and sons did not
amount to one year-being all embraced
within the year 1491 B. c., according to
the best ascertained chronology; while
on the other hand, Zipporah and Moses
lived continuously together during the
forty years from their marriage, and dur
ing the many years which elapsed be-
tween the, time when she rejoined her
husband and the time of his DEATH and
in all these years we never find in the
record of their lives ripple of infelicity
or disturbance
Hence we conclude that our respected
brother ought to take another Peep" at
Moses married life" before he under
takes finally to convince either himself
or others that his wife had bitter and
violent temper and thus destroyed his
domestic peace. R. r. II.

How Totty Boiled the Egg.

Mamma was sick. Every one said so.
from the doctor way down to Bridget,
the cook. lofty knew it must be so, be-
cause Katie, the nurse, wouldn t let her
go up stairs-not even when she prom
ised to walk on the very tips of her toes.
0 dear 0 dear, it really seemed as if the
world was coming to an end Mamma
sick Why the sun might Just as well
not shine at ALL
lofty went into the kitchen, but
Bridget was busy, and didn't want her
there.
III go out to the back yard and
look at the chicks, guess said Totty
to herself. So she took down her sun
bonnet from the hook in the entry and
went out. Just then the old speckled
hen jumped on the edge of barrel and
cackled with all her might.
Il declare" said Totty, "shes laid
an egg l wonder where it is? hope
it isn't lii the shoe-box nest way up
high. But it was, and Totty almost
tumbled off the ladder trying to reach
it.
Why there are two y; / can feel EN-.
| tell you what, III boil one for my sick
Putting one carefully in her apron
pocket, she crept down the ladder, and
then went across the yard to the kitchen.
Bridget wasn't there, so Totty looked
around. There was theteakettle putting
away, with boiling water all ready
What better could she want than that f?
She reached the holder, and took off the
cover and dropped her egg in. Now, I
am sorry to say lofty couldn tell the
time by the clock. She knew perfectly
well that the egg must boil for three
minutes, but although the clock was a
very large one, she couldn't make any
thing out of the long hands and straight
figures.
III run around the kitchen seven
times, and I guess that1l take about
three minutes" she said. Of course she
had to do it very softly, so that no one
! up stairs should hear.

What One Little Girl Did.

When Mr.. Whitefeld was preaching
in New England, lady became Chris
tan, and her spirit was drawn out in
prayer for others. She could persuade
no one to pray with her but her little
daughter, about ten years of age. After
a while God saved the child In trans
port of holy Joy she then exclaimed:
go, mother, if all the world knew
this I wish 1 could tell every body
Pray, mother, let me run to some of the
neighbors and tell them that they may
be happy and love my Saviour"
"Ah, my child" said the mother
that would be useless; for l 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 delusion."
go, motherl" replied the little girl
" I think they would believe me. I 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 sin
ner, and that she was sinner, but that
her blessed Saviour had heard her moth
ers prayers, and had forgiven all her
sins, and that now she was so happy that
she did not know how to tell.
The shoemaker was struck with sur
prise, and the 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 reioiced in His love.

THERE it must be done now, because
I'm so tired"
She had counted one every time she
went by the clock for seven times. The e
was the egg dancing up and down in the
kettle. How to get it out was question.
lofty tried the poker and the tongs, but
the egg tumbled back every time. The
shovel OF course; why didn t she think
of that before !? Now she has the egg,
safe and sound on little saucer. 1t was
Tottys own saucer, because it had A B
C's In blue letters all round the edge.
ii carry my spoon, too,' she said,
and then mamma will know who fixed
it.
Carefully up the back stairs she went,
and through the long entry to mamma s
room. The door was shut. She could
jus t reach the key-hole, and she whis-
pered through it:
Pleese, can come IN; it's burning
my fingers"
Some one said hush, but some one
else said, That's my baby-girl of course
she can come in"
The door was opened, and lofty walk
ed up to the bed.
IL al eSS lor mamma, sac said,
:" and | fixed it all alone"
But she can't eat it, said the doctor,
because she's sick"
"But can see how nicely it's done,
baby, and mamma took the spoon and
struck the egg. But it didn't break ::
then she struck again very hard, but no,
it would't crack bit; and all the time
the doctor was laughing as if he never
would stop.
What's the matter, doctor?' said
mamma.
Just look at your egg" said the doc
tor. So mamma took up the egg, and
she laughed, too, so very hard, that the
egg rolled off the bed and across the
floor, but it wasn't hurt bit.
For (what do you think p it was moth
ing but the glass egg that lofty took
from the nest But even if mamma
didn't eat it, the doctor said it made her
well, for she laughed so that she was
ever so much better the next day; and
as for the egg, why, mamma thinks it the
very best one in the world, and you
couldn't buy it-no, not for all the mon
ey in your savings bank.-G. NJ. s..
