A Courteous Prince.

The young prince, who atterward
lost his life in the war between the
English and Zulus, had one trait not
common to children-he treated his
playmates and all who served him
with marked courtesy. The favorite
companion Of his sports was Louis
Conneau, the son Of the empercrs
physician. They were daily together,
and may storms rutlied their inter
course.
One day, when there was to he a
state dinner at the Tuileries, at which
the prince was not to appear. he in
yited Louis Couneau to dine with
him. Both lads were very fond OF
strawberry cream, and the prince in
order to give an agreeable surprise to
his playmate, requested that dish 10
be prepared for the dessert.
During the morning the two boys
ouarrelled, and LOUIS Conneau re-.
turned home. The prince, two PROUD
to show any emotion at his playmate's $
departure took his seat at the dinner
table and tried to eat. But when the
strawberry cream appeared his self
control gave way. The tears rolled
down his cheeks, rs he said toa SER
want:
"Take the cram to Conneau. and
tell him 1 haven't the heart to cat 1t
without him"

says, "a woman who feareth the
Lord, she shall be praised But alas
it is often after she has gone from
earth, and then we say she was very
sweet! Why didn't you tell her So
when she was here?
I had dear friend once who had
an only little daughter. She wanted
her to be so perfect that she was al.
ways pointing out her inperfections,
and she did not see that what the
child needed was praise. One day
when in her closet the child was
kneeling at her side, she was Sc
drawn out in thantulness for the bless
ings of her life, and especially for the
sweet child God had given her, that
she became entirely UNCONSCIOUS OF the
: little one at her side. AS soon as the
mother ceased, the child threw hcl
arms about her mothers neck, ana
exclaimed; "Oh, mother, how you
did brag about me to God! Now l
will be good"
