Bedtime Stories.

A missionary, recently returned from
India, was entertaining group of lis
teners the other evening; some OF
them were children. The converse
ton had turned upon the snakes of In
dia, and she had just finished an ac-
count of how snake worShiperS ap-
peased the supposed divinity in the
cobra before killing it, when Kenneth,
a bright boy of seven, with an impera-
tive gesture, exclaimed: "Stop right
there! I've got to go to bed in few
minutes ~
The whole gist of what we have to
CAV about bedtime stories is in that eX-
clamation. Of course, the boys vivid
imagination would paint on the dark
ness of his bed-chamber as a back
ground the pictures portrayed by the
missionary, and the snakes would
come wriggling and perhaps stinging
as they came; and he would see their
victims swell up and die. Worst OF
all, the frightful panorama might re
peat itself in his dreams las in fact, it
did not, for he was healthful boy and
full of outdoor vigor.)
1t takes even grown people, supposed
to be posted about such things, u long
while to learn that for some time be-
fore going to bed the engine of the
brain should begin to "slow down
and the "coppers" to cool little. The
The arteries of the brain should be al
lowed to carry less blood, and whatev-
er stimulates them to activity should
be avoided. Especially is this the case
with children. Take little child in
your arms and Groom it to sleep. You
may know when it is just dropping
Off by its becoming warm all over.
The blood is diffusng itself evenly
throughout the body, the brain is at
reat. and no longer filled with surging
currents of blood. A good, hearty
frolic is good for children before going
to bed, but oil the stories told them
should be soothing, pleasing, gentle,
and such as may lead them in their
dreams into green pastures and by still
waters.

The New York Advocate recently
dug up the following beautiful poem
by our old time Southern singer, Mrs
Jane Il. H. Cross
'Tis all a whirl, a dizzy whirl,
And men and women come ana go;
Twas thus when was but girl
Now years have sent their flakes OF snow
Upon the locks that erSt were brown;
And still see about the town
The eager faces; and the street
Is thronging still with busy feet.
hear the sound, hear the rush.
The trampling trampling, DER and Ger;
But in my heart there Is hush,
A pain for steps that come no more;
listen still to catch their ring,
My own glad foot prepared To spring
TO greet, rs they approach the door,
The blessed steps that come no more
But men and boys go in and out,
And merrily the world goes on;
/ listen midst the joyous rout
To catch the voices that are gone;
l 90 about the household cares,
See how the dog or kitten fares,
sweep the rug or make the bed.
Still thinking-thinking of the dead.
And they? Do they, amid the host,
That throng along the golden street.
A moment pauSe-in memory lost
And listen for our coming feet?
While angels all around rejoice.
Remember they our earthly voice?
y. can those pearly gates above
Shut out from them our yearning love!
Or do they sometimes sit apart,
And ponder on the precious past!
Remember they. with loving heart,
That trembling kiss-it was the last:
They cannot sure forget its thrill;
Its presence fingers round them sun.
For twas soul-'twas not oreaIh-
And Love is mightier than Death!

Tho Faith of Little Hans.

The following touching story, told
by writer in Harper's Young People,
is about a letter found by one of the
clerks. q Young German girl, in the
Dead Letter Office at Washington.
The young clerk had worked her
way down through large heap, and
was beginning to think OF lunch,
when she came upon a peculiar little
envelope addressed in German to "Je-
sus in Heaven ;" she tore it open has
tily. and found soiled sheet, written
ali over in a childs cramped hand.
Some of the words seemed blurred
with tears, and she coul d scarcely
make them out. Here IS the transla-
ton:
"DEAR JESUS: I have prayed so
hard to you, but guess you could not
hear me so far off, so l am going 10
write YOU a letter. We came over
big ocean when it was summer time.
NV mamma has been sick all the time.
Can't YOU send her something to make
her we'll? And, dear Jesus, please
send my papa some work to 90, so ne
can buy us some warm clothes and
something to eat, and please do 1t
quick. for we are cold and hungry.
Nobody knows am writing to you.
I thought you might send us some
thing for surprise.
HANS BRAHM.
"P. S.-My hands are SO cold L can't
write very we'll"
Katrina's eyes filled with tears as
she came to the end. She sat for some
time with the letter in her hand; as
She folded it, she resolved to do some
thing to make the little boy happy.
She said: "Whateyer his parents may
be this child-faith must not be Destroy
ed.n That evening, after dinner, she
told several of her friends about the
matter, and they were eager to help
her make up box.
It was ready in a few days. There
were some fiannels for the mother ana
little Hans, comfortable clothes for the
father, and toys enough to make the
bow believe that the Christ child did
NOT live in Germany only. At the
verv top lay crisp ten dollar bill: AS
soon as the box left the house, katri-
ma wrote a letter to Hans. She told
him that his letter had been received,
and that Jesus had sent one of his ser
wants on earth to help him, and that a
nice box was on its way out West.
Not long after there came letter OF
warm thanks from the father. He eX-
plained how they had been in the
country but a few months and had not
vet found work.
AS the weeks went by, another and
another letter came, telling OF falrel
prospects and brighter days. One
thing they assured Katrlna-,"that
they could never forget her kind letter
and generous help in their time of sad
dest need"

SAVING HIS BAIT. An aged negro
sat on one of the whaives at Salem,
Mass, fishing. A colored boy was sit
ting beside him, eagerly watching the
bob as it danced up and down. Sud
denly the bob went under. The boy
in his excitement leaned so far over
the edge of the wharf that he lost his
balance and fell into the water. In
stantly the old man dropped his fl fish 81
ing-pole and jumped into the water for
the boy, and. after a good deal OF
splashing and spluttering, with the
help of several men on the wharf, both
were hauled out gasping for breath.
One of the men who had helped them
expressed his admiration for the ne
gro's courage.
"That was a brave deed of yours,
my man." said he.
HWhat dat?" asked the disciple OF
Walton, as he went to pick up his rod,

boy" y.
