Led by a Child.

A man who was not himself 8
Christian married a lovely, earnest
minded Christian waman. She die
all in her power, both by her example
and precept and earnest prayers. to in
fuence her husband; but, though
kind and loving to her, he did not love
the Saviour, which was the source OF
much anxiety to her. She was taken
sick, and it proved her last sickness:
One day, coming into the room and
seeing his dear wife lying so wan and
sick, he could not help showing his
emotion in his face. The quick eye of
love detected it, and grasping his hand
with all the earnestness of loving
wife and dying Christian, she poured
out her whole soul in prayer to God
for his conversion, and that he might
meet her in heaven. He was much
moved, but his heart was not changed.
She died. They had one little girl
who had seen just six summers; but
already the seed of divine truth sowed
i'm the heart of her little girl, watered
by the divine blessing, had taken root,
and was destined in Gods providence
to bring an answer to her mothers
prayers.
The father took his little girl to the
grave, and as she stood there and saw
the remains of her dear mother put
under the cold sod, it was almost more
than her little heart could bear, and
she broke out into such an agony of
grief that all were moved with pity at
the sorrow of the poor, motherless
child. When all was over the father
led her by the hand to her home. On
the way, with most plying express
ion, she looked up to his face and said,
"Father, what will we do now mother
is dead?" He said, II know not, my
child, myself" When near the house
she said, 80, father, it seems to me ]
don't want to 60 home any more, now
mother is not there" Her little mind
was busy and suddenly throwing her
arms around her father s knees, she
said, "Father, I know what we must
do now; you must pray, father, you
must pray" He had to tell his little
girl he did not know how to pray.
"But," said he, "your mother taught
you to pray; you say your prayer" !"
She replied, "Then, father, you come
up into the room where mother used
to pray so much" They knelt togeth-
er, and with her arm around his neck
she said the prayer her dear mother
had taught her, and 10 it was pray
er for him, that he might love the Sa-
viour, and that he and she might meet
her in heaven. This was more than
that heart of stone could stand, and
bursting i:to flood of tears, he cried
from the bottom of sin stricken soul,
"God be merciful to NE sinner"
And thus his little child had taught
him to pray, and God wrought all an
swer to her mothers prayers.

J The people of Iycia, in Asia Minor,
carried water across the vale Of Petra
by means of a huge stone syphon.
An aqueduct built in the Roman
style brought water from the hills sew
enty miles away. Its ruins are still to
be seen.
In the year GOO B. G. Polycrates,
King of Samoas, built an aqueduct
tunnel nearly four miles long through
q limestone rock.
Athens built her first water works
$50 B. c., and they consisted of stone
aqueducts lined with baked clay, and
were on the surface.
The most famous aqueduct in France
is the Prout des Gard, which supplied
the tour of Nismes. 1t is still an OBJ
ject of interest.
The Aqua Martha, erected 43l years
B. G. was thirty-eight miles long.
The Aqua Claudia was fifty-four miles
long and thirty-siX of it was under the
ground. Both supplied Rome.
The first water works of Jerusalem
consisted of wells in the limestone
ridges on which the city was built.
Later, an aqueduct was constructed,
six miles in length, to Bethlehem.
During the first century of the
Christian era "whole rivers of water
flowed through the Streets of Rome.
Each inhabitant had seventy-five gal
Ions daily. There were nine conduits,
whose aggregate length was 249 miles.

Some Girls Ways.

1t was Saturday morning in big
farm house kitchen. Nell was bend
ing over the sink picking a chicken,
with decided scOwl on her face !;
Hattie was kneading bread with an
expression Of grim determination suit
able for soldier ycaling his enemies
breastworks ; and Susan was shelling
peas, her pretty face spoiled by the set
discomfort about the mouth. The
girls were not talking-they never
talked while they worked-but they
often spoke sharply and unkindly.
Work was to them q separate state of
existence in which the Christian grace
played no part.

asked a hesitating voice.
"No," snapped Nell, "it's Il wonder
you didn't for you are always leaving
something around for us to tread on"
at has fallen down under your
chair Susan," he said, coming in to
pick it up.
Ned, you are always bothering
Somebody fretted Susan, while she
arose with ungraciousness III her
movement.
."Father called me to come quick
and catch the chicken, and stood it
in the corner" replied Ned roughly,
and gladly made his escape.
That same morning, in a neighbor-
ing farmhouse kitchen, Lucy was
kneading the bread as deftly as Hattie,
but at the same time planning with
Helen and Grace how to earn money
for their mission boxes; Grace had d
funny story to tell while she washed
the dishes and Helen told them of q
lneadow-lark she saw while picking
the Strawberries that she was now
hullmg for the strawberry short cake
and desert.
Sam came in with an armful of
wood, threw it noisily into the wood
box, twitched Grace's curls, made be-
ieve dive his hands into Lucy's pan
of flour, snatched the largest strawber-
ry from Helen's dish, and pranced out
whistling Sunday-school hymn.
The girls smoothed out the little
wrinkles that Sans antics always
brought to their faces, and began to
sing his hymn, being echoed by Fan
ny who was sweeping the front stairs.
Which family do you belong to
girls?
