TIE ANGEL OF LITTLE SACRIFICES.

Have YOU ever seen her work? Have you
never, at least, felt her influence? In every
Christian family God has placed the angel
of little sacrifices, trying to remove all the
thorns. to tighten up all the burdens, or
share all the fatigues. We feel that she is
with US, because we no longer experience
that misunderstanding of heretofore, those
deliberate co!dnesses which spoil family life;
because we no longer hear those sharp, rude
swceter. The angel of little sacrifices has
received from heaven the mission Of those
angels Of whom the prophet speaks, who re-
move the stones from the road lest they
should bruise the feet Of travellers.
There is place less conmodious than an.
other. She chooses 1t, saying with sweet
smile, "How comfortable am hereV There
is some work to he done, aud she presents
herself for it, simply with the joyous man.
ner of one who finds her happiness in go

one unknown hand. How many little joys

which they would give her. Does dispute

upon the slight disturbance like ray OF

Should she hear Of two hearts cstranged,

Whit Made Sitting Bull Fighter.

~ heard more or less of Sitting Bulls
history while was OF Fort Buford, " said
Mr.. Nugent. "For several years he
lived at Fort Rice on the Missouri River,
and was known as blanket Indian a
term used among Indians to designate
scorn or derision, and is sometimes ap-
piled to Indians who 'hang around mill
tary posts and wear red or white blankets
such as they may obtain instead of the
buffalo robe, which is the badge OF an
Indians manhood and physical prowess.
One day, in heat of passion, he was
struck by a soldier, for what cause it has
never been known. But with that blow
his nature changed. 1t was followed by
O long list of heroic and desperate en-
counters, led or prompted by him, which
evidently shaped the Indian policy of the
Government of the United States, and
caused the loss Of Custer and his party.
With that blow were aroused the spirit
and passions of savage soul which up to
that time had lain dormant. Flying to
the plains of the lands of the Dakotas he
Organized the forces of the whole Sioux
nation, and the dissatisfied tribes, which
up to a recent date, waged wars con-
tinually against the Government with so
much disaster. Sitting Bull stands pre-.
eminent as the bravest and most skilful
Indian general. His eloquence and logic
were none the less great than his ability
as a skiful warrior. His lmpassloned
manner could arouse his warlike braves
to impetuous courage. ."-NeU YORK. Fress.

The Monkey In q Tree.

Here is the latest puzzle: Isee mon
key in tree. He sees me and gets be-
hind the trunk of the tree. I start to 60
around him and he keeps going around
as do, keeping the trunk of the tree
between him and me. 1 reached the
place I started from, with the monkey
still opposite me on the tree. Now,
having been around the tree, have I also
been around the monkey2
A Boston woman is quoted as saying:
II tried it on my husband. I had him
for the monkey, and 1 took whisk-
broom and went around him, brushing
his clothes. He kept turning around
Just as I did, and when ! had been clear
around I had brushed only one side of
him and one leg of his pantalooas. Now,
all the professors of Harvard University
couldn't convince me that I had been
around that man, neither had the man
been around the monkey in the tree"

RRsIGNING THE RuDDER.

It was prayer of George Herbert's that
he might wholly be lel to resign the rudder
of his life to the sacred Will of God, to be
moved ''as thy love shall sway" How
much frettng, how much worry 1t would
spare us all il we asked our Heavenly Father
that he would cause Us to lean utterly. IN
perfect faith, in cheerful. unques,ioning
obedience, upon his will and wisdom,
whether in life's trivial concerns or in those
fear. We can ask him nothing beyond his
power; some of us know the feeling, "1n all
hut this ! could say, thy will be done;'''
but il we will only tell the story at his feet,
pouring cut our hearts before him, We shall
lie able to trust our Father, even to rejoice
in him, through every c'angeful pathway.
Not long ago Christian visitor called upon
q poor woman who had just been told By the
mGtron Of the hospital Of the incurable na-
ture Of her complaint.
The poor sufferer tearfully declared she
accepted Gods will patiently so far as her
own pain and dea:h were concerned, hut she
could not bear the thought of her mother
less ch llren. Nobody could induce her,
she said. as concerned the children, to feel
patient and res gned. 1t was painful
scene. The visitor could not demonstrate
with her upon her spirit Of impaticnce and
murmuriEg, but felt as though she must
weep with her, as she said: Yours is untold
sorrow, beyond my understanding even, but
God knows all about it-God understands.
Will you not tell him just how you feel-tell
him What you have told me-all your pain,
anxiety and dread OF leaving your little ones
alone?
Il am going now to tell the leader Of ouI
prayer-meeting about yon; tomorrow, from
three to half-past, prayers will arise on your
behalf; will yoI not 1T the same time be on
your knees before God and tell him alp
The sufferer promised. Next day, relates
the visitor, earnest, pleading supplicatons
laid her case before God, and what was the
result? The next interview found thai
woman as calm as she had been i'm patient;
she had poured out her own heart in prayer.
and others had prayed for her, and she told
the visitor: Il am just leaving everything
with God-not only whether live or die
but each of my little children. Everything
is safe with him; 1 feel it--l know it. '
Verify, our God is the same now as in past
ages prayer-hearing, prayer answering
