A Tale for the TOddlers.

One day Lucy and her brother were going
to the place where the ice cream was kept
Lucy was trotting along, holding Charles
hand. She heard Il strange noise in the street
near them. Looking, she saw two boys with
q little cur dog. One boy had tied string
to the poor little dogs tail, and on the other
end of the string was q deserted oyster
can.
"Oh, BROTHER" said Lucy, "see what the
wicked boys are doing"
And then the tears flied her eyes, because
she felt sorry for the dog.
Then Charles asked the boys to let the
dog go. They would not do this, but said
they would sell him the dog for twenty-f five
cents.
''If you buy the dog, Lucy, you can have
no ice cream, for have only twenty-five
cents in my pocket" said Charles.
Then Lucy was sad, for she loved ice cream
dearly, but still she knew it was her duty to
keep the dog from suffering.
So for a moment she was silent, and then
looking up to her brother she said in her
pretty way: "You kick in the ribs of the
boys, dear brother, and will hustle the pup
zap the alley"
And so Lucy had her ice cream after ALL

the interests of the West Africa Mission of the
Society from Lagos to Whydah, and Abomev.
the capital of Dahomey. After arrival at the
capital, he was detained nearly month on on
pretext or another, before he obtained an au-
dience with the King When entering the
palace gates he detected strong smell of
putrefying flesh, and found on each side of the
gate mound of sand, on which were placed
three human heads. Both on the outside and
inside OF the gates there were human remains.
Seven persons had been sacrificed the previous
night and their blood had been poured upon
the ground as an oblation On every successive
visit Mr.. Milum saw that fresh heads had been
placed on these mounds. There was in the
palace square large assemblage of gorgeously
dressed chiefs, each of whom was seated under
an umbrella and surrounded by his retainers
and all were entertained, while waiting for the
coming OF the King, by court testers, dancers,
and musicians. The chiefs marched in process
