Wat IL Smile Did.

Gertrude White, sweet little girl
about nine years old, lived in Il httlc
red brick house in our village. She
was Il general flvorite in Chcrroville:
but she hll one trouble; W;ll Evans
would tease her because she was slight
" lame, calling l!er "Tow Head"
whenever they met. Then she would
pout, and 80 home quite out Of temper.
One day she ran up to her mother in Il
state Of great excitement.
"Mothcr, | can be:r this any long
cv" she said: "WilI Evans has called
Inc Old Tow Head before all the girls. "
"WiIl you please bring ne the Bible
from the tablr:' said The gc'o! mother
Gertrude silently y obcycl.
"Now will my little daughter read
to ne the seventh verse OF the fifty
third chapter of 1saiaI::'
Slowly and softly the child read how
the blessed Saviour was afflicted, op
pressed, yet "opencl not His mouth
"Mother," she asked, edo you think
they called him Names
And her ewes filled with tears as the
sorrows of the Son Of God were brought
before her mind.
When Gertrude went to bed that
night she asked Gol to help her to
bear with meekncss all her injuries
and trials. lie delights to have such
petitions
Not many days had passed before
Gertrude met Will Evans going to
school, and remembering her prayer
and the resolutions she had formed
actually smiled at him.
This was such a mystery to VIII
that he was too much surprised to call
after her. if, indeed, he felt any incN-
nation; bnt he watched her till she
had turned the corner, and then went
to school in a Very thoughtful mood.
Before another week passel they
met again, and VIII at once asked
Gertrudc's forgiveness for calling her
names Gertrude was rca ]y to forgive
and they soon became friends, Will
saying, | used to like to see von get
cross; but when You smiled at me II
couldn't stand that
Gertrude told Will Of her mothers
conversation that afternoon, and its ct-
feet upon her. VIII did not reply:
but his moistrnol eyes showed what
he felt, and he said he never wou,l
call her names a1lin. De. Newton.

AN ATTEMPT AT OUTRAGE,

Last Sunday dastardly attempt at
outrage was made on the Winhall pike
at point known as "the plains" just
above the old Art. Gleason place.
A Miss Plankey, aged about IL or 10
years, was walking the road, at tins
point, when she was suddenly assalled
by a masked man who attempted to
throw bag over her head. She escap-
ed from him an ran, but fell down and
was Oh the point of being seized by the
wretch when Emile Gantart appeared
coming up the road. The sight OF Can
tart frightened the assailant, who took
to the woods. The, seeming, providen'
tial appearance of Gantart saved Miss
Plankey from terrible fate. No clue
as to the perpetrator.

For the things which re call the blessings of

Still we know that poverty hath its cares,
And is often filed with the hiuerest fears,
Lest by some sore need ye shall come Ia tears.
THE Lord is my shepherd: shall not waat.'

Each day hath its pleasures, as well as its
pain;
You'll always still think there is something Ia

1.-THE Lord is my shepherd; shall not want"
If he takes from me health, still must trust
That my Savior win do what:'er Is best,
And then | shall have no fear for the rest.
