When assured of the strong hopes en-
tertained she asked
why should l live? 1t seems better
to go now"
Gently the mother repeated
Lord. it belongs not to my care
Whether l die or live.
To love and serve thee is my share,
And this thy grace must give"
Then if my ,Jte is given me, it will be
that may selve HIM, that l may do
good in this world; will not forget that. "
The patient, docile spirit contributed
largely to her recovery, and health soon
returned to Alice. She is still living
she has passed through seasons of sorrow,
suffering aud trial. She has been called
to part with children and friends near
and dear, but her life seems ever to re-
peat:
Content whatever lot l see,
Since It's Gods hand that leadeth me"

The Limpet and the Rock.

While | was walking on the sea-shore,
says a clergyman, saw number Of
limpets on rock, and l determined to
have one. So choosing a very pretty
one. | tried at first to pull it off with
my hand but no, it chung TO the rock
so tightly that could not move it.
What !" thought l, ga little thing
like you to be stronger than Ill try
my walking stick.
And so / did Putting one end of it
against the side of the limpet, l tried
with all my weight and strength to push
it off.
But no not hairbreadth could
move it, more than l could the rock to
which it chung. Though 80 weak little
thing, it stuck 80 fast that it seemed as
strong as the rock itself--just as children
cEnging to Jesus, the Rock Of Ages, have
almighty strength and can Spever be
moved.
We'll, my little friend thought 1,
oil see whether cannot have you yet;
as one way wont do, Ill try another.
So, having plenty of time to spare, l sat
down very quietly upon another rock
close by and watched, scarcely moving
my eyes of the limpet for one moment.
For long time | watched in vain there
stuck the little limpet.
But presently thought l saw it move
a little. Oh, how eagerly watched il
then Another minute, and-yes, there
it was actually moving off the rock
] "Ah" thought I, I'll have you

The Man who Drove Down
stairs

This Count Sander lived in fine man
sion on the Schloss berg in Buda. He
was very fond of horses, as are all Hun
garians, and his feats of horsemanship
were not only eccentric, but dangerous.
He would force his horses to plunge
down from rocky heights, to scale almost
perpendicular cliffs, to dash across the
Danube upon floating cakes OF ice, to
leap over streams and chasms and to
clear fences, walls, and even moving car
riages at single bound
One OF his most toolhardy escapades
occurred one day in the year 1927. There
was in the city OF Buda long and steep
stone staircase which connected the
higher section OF the town, around the
Schloss berg, with one OF the lower Sec
tlons, known as Christian street. This
staircase was not lar from the mansion OF
the Count Sander, and on that particular
day the eccentric count had tor his rid
ing-compsnion German artist named
Johann Prestel, as bold and daring a
man as the count.
Suddenly, as they drove past the head
OF the staircase, the count, almost with
out word, turned his tour-ln- hand to-.
ward the steep passage way, and, Ticking
his long whip above the ears of his lead
ers. drove the team headong down the
stairs.
How the wheels must have bumped
and ratified down the steps The count
was very expert driver and could guide
his plunging steeds with much skill and
ease, so that this ride downstairs was not
as fearful or dangerous as it would have
been with less skilliul driver but it
was wild enough as 1t was and even the
bold artist tol I'd the staircase quite long
enough for such downward dash Ger,

Talking in their Sleep.

You think 1 am dead"
The apple-tree said,
Because have never a leaf TO show
Because l stoop,
and my branches droQp,
And the dull gray moses over me grow
But m all alive in trunk and shoot;
The buds of next May
fold away
But pity the wiihe ed grass at my root"
You think l am dead"
The quick grass said,
Because l have parted with stem and blade
But under the ground
l am safe and sound
With the SHOWS thick blanket over me laid.
m all alive, and ready to shoot.
Should the Spring of the Year
Come dancing here
But pity the flower without branch or root
You think l am dead,
A soft voice said
Because not branch or root l own
l never have died,
But close hide
In plumy seed that the wind has sown.
Patient wait through the long winter hours
You will see me again
l shall laugh at you, then,
Out of the eyes of hundred flowers"

had it in my hand, because it was not
clinging to the rock.

into sin, cling fast to the Rock-cling to
