A LITTLE CHILD.

paced one dav along the dusty street
With heavy heart and inattentive mind.
When suddenly, with tiny, pattering feet,
A little child came softly up behind.
He Joined me. and we walked on side by side.
Some spell Of silence could not define
Was on us. Then. with blue evts opened Wide
He looked at me and place his hand In milne
A baby's hand, ana yet so firm and strong,
1t held my tired one with kindly grasp,
Aud as we walked still silently along
Ny heavy heart found healing In that clasp.
What sweet. mysterious influence led him there
Icannot tell, but thus 1t seemed to me
His guardian angel guided him to share
Ny burden with unconscious sympathy.
Unconscious, for as yet his tender mind
Had never learned that love is kin 10 pain.
And this Is sympathy, whose links can bind
Their heart to heart as with golden chain.
He needed naught of mine; he would not miss
Me when we parted. nor would understand
Ny thanks, hut on mis- brow left kiss
And thanked God for the kindly baby hand.

Thn nrnthers Of Men.


Some women have imbibed the idea
that It Is more orediuable to them to
have small family than large one--in
fact, that woman should aspire TO a
higher sphere than that for which she
was created by the Almighty-and they
look upon this great function Of their
lives as misfortune to be avoided as
much as possible, believing that it In
capacitates them for higher duties,
especially those Of mental character.
Was there ever greater mistaken John
Wesley's mother was the mother Of
nineteen children and vet she was
mentally one Of the most superior Of
women
The great Wesley never failed to give
credit to hts mother for his uccess in
life, and though the mother Of nineteen
children. Mrs Wesley, after her
children had grown up and entered
college, continued to influence them BY
her wise and iudicious advice. And
great and good as she was, Mrs Wesley
was only one Of an army Of women 20
whom great men Of all ages have owed

upon child bearing as OF little account
