The death of this Christian
boy should point the way for all
little stumbling feet on the road
heavenward. Patient and unset
fish he listened in his agony
the fearful pangs Of rheumatism
to his favorite texts from the
devoted mothers lips, and looked
the comfort he could not speak.
Dear boy, he was blessed with
more than one mother in the
loving aunts who claimed him as
their very son. And all who so
tenderly treasured him may feel
the great and precious assurance
that he suffers no more.

stood gazing at the group Of
merry girls and boys with tears
in her big brown eyes.
"How pretty their dresses, and

and she looked down at her frock

them from her head.
"And my nice white stockings,

tress and stamped upon the
ground in a passion.
"But won't l catch it when l

turned to go home.
Just then a lady with beau

Marjorie.
"Blow on you? Oh, you mean

with me and we will find out all
about it," and she gave Marjorie
a paper of sugarplums.
"But you belong to the picnic"
said the little girl.
"Never mind, I'll be back
soon."
Miss Hannah Bib was a hard
working woman, but she was
very particular and cross, and
had no patience with a little girl
who did not know how to do
everything and who was some
times naughty.
Now she scolded Marjorie for
running away, and sent her to
the kitchen while she talked with
the lady. She sad that Marjorie
had been left with her by her
parents, who were missionaries
to South Africa and who died
there.
"Would you part with her?"
asked the lady. "She looks so
like my own little girl who is in

have her"
