The Better Land.

A father and mother were living
with their two children on n desert
island in the midst of the wide
ocean. on which they had been ship
wrecked. Roots and vegetables
served them for food a spring
WAS their drink and a cavern III
the rock their dwelling. Storms
aud tempests often ragged feartnlly
on the Island.
The children could not imagine
how they had reached the island ;
they knew nothing Of the vast con
tinent: bread, milk, fruit, and
whatever other luxury is yielded
there, were things unknown to
them.
There landed one day upon the
island four MOorS in Il small boat
The parents were greatly delighted,
aud hoped DOW to be rescued from
their suffering. Bot the boat was
too small to take them ali over to
.ether to the adjoining land. SO the
father determined to risk the pas
Sage first. The mother and chill
dlen wept when he embarked III
th,. trail wooden boat. and the four
| black men were about TO take him
away. But he said: sweep not
it is better land and you will
AL follow soor.*
When the little boat returned
and took away the mother, the
children wept still more. But she
also said !: sweep not In the bel
ter land we shall all meet again"
At last came the boat to take
away the two children. Theyw were
frightened at the black men, and
shuddered at the fearful sea over
which they had to pass. 1t was
with tear and trembling that they
drew near the land.
But how delighted were they
when their parents appeared on
the shore, offered them their hands.
led them into the shade of lofty
palm trees, and resaled them on
The t'owery turf with milk, houey
and delicious fruits.
''Oh! how silly was our fear,
SAID the children. eve ought tt

came to take us away to the better
land"
