There is ministry in childhood. 1t speaks tn G
voice of the Divine Few natures, however rugged.
but will be touched and inspired by the presence
and innocence OF child Its very helpessncss is an
an evangel of love And none feels this so much as
those who are called when to give up their precious
jewels. Alas! how sad is the homo bereaved of
little EDWIN BARHsDALE In that household he
was domestic joy. His wasspeciallya holy minis
try OF comfort and radiance to hearts now suffering
thegrief and loneliness of bereavement He was two
years one month and six days old, and died after
painful illness of more than two weeks His was n
rare development Of character and intelligence-the
bright prophecy Of noble manhood Through
those may days OF sickness his forttude was worthy
the strength of maurer years Though brief was his
beautiful life, the Lord made him benediction to
his home, whose influence and memory will abide
forever.
Our achievements for good are not measured by
length of days The short earthly career OF a child
may be grander in holy ministry than the life Of
another, heightened out to the days Of the patri-
archs.
'The dials Of earth may show
The length, not the depth, OF years"
Beautiful in person, and more beautiful in child
character little EDWIN has Joined the radiant
throng. His young parents and the sorrowing fam
lily are thus beckonod to that home of the blest.

He Wanted to Pose.

A resident of Park street had pho.
tographer come up for the purpose OF
taking a.yiew of his residence, and the
man of the camera had just got in posi-
ton when along came an old coon with
a buck-saw on his arm and wanted to
know what was up.
Going to photograph the house."
was the reply.
"Then [ guess I'll pose," remarked
the old man. 9TH take a position al
the left of the gate and represent the
statue of Industry"
The members of the family came out
and arranged themselves, and the man
called out:
"Here, old man, you want to get out
of that"
Cant represent Industry"
"No, siri"
"Can't stand over there and repre-
sent Laziness 2"
'No, sir We don't want you in the
group at all.
"Lemme represent the Sleeping
Beauty?"
"You go away!"
He drew off to one side, the passing
teams halted to give the artist chance,
IA directly the plate was made. Every
body rushed forward when it was ready
for inspection, and the old man was one
of the first. As the plate was held up
he giggled and tickled, and finally
burst into loud laugh. He had lodged
Iaround the corner of the house and his
full figure was revealed behind the
family.
"What do you represent in that atti-
tude?' sterniy inquired the photogra-
Ipher.
well, [ reckon that's a pretty good
pose for Contentment"
Every well. l will now represent
Dissatisfaction"
And the artist took the festive old
Ichap 10y the ear and walked him out of
the crowd and put in couple of kicks

The Hill Wasn't Steep Enough.

"Say, what is your pa on crutches for I?
/ see him hobbling down town this
morning. Has he sprained his ankle ~
well, guess his ankle got sprained
with all the rest. You see, my chum
and me went bobbing, and pa said he
supposed he used to be the greatest
bobber, when he was boy, that ever
was. He said he used to slide down a
hill that was sleeper than a church
steeple. We asked him to go with us.
and we went to that street that goes
down by the depot, and we had two
sleds hitched together, and there were
morn a hundred boys, ind pa wanted to
steer, and he got on the front sled, and
when we got about half way down the
sled slowed, and my chum and me got
off all right, but pa got shut up between
the two sleds, and the other bows be-

and dragged him over the slippery ice
clear to the bottom, and the whole lay

mules got wild and kicked, and pas
broke, and when my chum
and me got down there pa was under
the car, and a boys boots were in pas
shirt-bosom, and another boy was strad-
die of pas neck, and the crowd rushed
up from the depot and got pa out, and
he began to yell fire, and police and
he kicked at boy that was trying to
get his sled out of the small of pas
back, and policeman came along and
pushed pa and said, Go away from
here, We ovid diyil, and let the bys en-
Joy themselves, and he was going to ar
rest pa, when me and my chum told
him we would take pa home. Pa sud
the hill was not steep enough for him,
orhe wouldn't have fell off, He is of1ul
stiff to-day, but he says he will go skat-
ing with us next week, and show us how
to skate. Pa mean's well, but he don't
realize that he is getting stiff and can't
be as kitteny as he used to be.-Peck's
