SO Miss Ruth had lilly kneel down
by her lap, and lay the yellow curly
head on her knee, and taught the child
to repeat the simple " Now / lay me
down to sleep"
That's nice, Think" said lilly, as
she jumped into bed. And Miss Ruth
with queer feeling in her throat, bent
over and pressed kiss on the little
white forehead. Instantly the child
spoke:
Glove you! And love to stay here"
And something was the matter with
Miss Ruthie's eyes just then.
The next day Miss Ruth said:
Betty, that child has absolutely no
clothes. I'll get her some, and you
must help me make 'em."
"'Tain' much use, for such little
while, is it?'' asked Betty.
"She's got to be decent while she
stays" said Miss Ruth, resolutely.
So they bent to work. And the next
Sunday, when Miss Ruth led her little

"Well, what is it?" she asked.

mean the practice of family prayer.
Depend upon it, the worth of prac-
tice of that kind can only be measured
by its effects during long period of
time, and family prayers, though occu-
plying only few minutes, do make a
great difference to any household at
the end of year. How, indeed, can
it be otherwise, when, each morning,
and, perhaps, each evening, too, all the
members of the family-the old and the
young, the parents and the children,
the master and the servants-meet on a
footing of perfect equality before the
Eternal, in whose presence each is as
nothing, or less than nothing: vet
to whom each is so infinitely dear
that he has redeemed with his
blood each and all of them? How
must not the bad spirits that are the
enemies of pure and bright family life
flee away-the spirits of envy and pride
and untruthfulness and sloths, and the
whole tribe of evil thoughts, and make
way for his gracious presence in the
hearts of old and young alike, who, as
he brings us one by one nearer to the
true end of our existence, so does he
and he alone, make us to be " of one

Selected Storm.
An Autumn Morning.

There's a wondrous wealth of beauty in the morning
OF these plenty-glving, verdure dying days,
When the bushes the forest leaves adjoining
At the kisses of the golden autumn rays.
Then the birds upon their circng ways, singing
Golden music from their dainty feathered threats
And the morning gores from their heights cling
ing
Like SO many dew-besprent ohromatic notes.
Fen the air through which the sunbeams soft are
falling
Has besides gentle touch mellow tint;
And the scene that all the senses is enthralling
Seems to catch the golden hue of natures mint.

tan lives by this standard. Has our
liberality tailed with our prosperity,
or have we been giving to the Lord
about the same amount each year, and
adding to our style of living as our in
come increased? The life of John
Wesley was perfect illustration of
obedience to this gospel rule. His BIZ
ographer says he began his good work
in early life. When he had thirty
pounds year he lived on twenty-eight
and gave away forty shillings; the next
year, receiving sixty pounds, he still
lived on twenty-eight and gave away
two-and-thirty. The third year he re-
ceived ninety pounds, and gave away
sixty-two. The fourth year he received
one hundred twenty pounds. Still
he lived on twenty-eight and gave away
ninety-two. In this ratio he proceeded
during the rest of his life, and in the
course of fifty years it is estimated he
gave away between twenty and thirty
thousand pounds.-Tyme Of Rgreshing.

EVERY solitary kind action that is
done, the world over, is working briskly
in its own sphere to restore the balance
between right and wrong. Kindness
has converted more sinners than either
zeal, eloquence or learning; and these
three never converted any one unless
they were kind also. The continual
sense which a kind heart has of its
own need of kindness keeps it humble.
Perhaps an act of kindness never dies,
but extends the invisible fluctuations
of its influence over the breadth of CEN
turies.-F. w. Fdber.
