A MOTHERS PRAYER.

written for Boys and Girls'')
A young volunteer in a crowded street
Was bidding his friends adieu,
He was off TO the war with his comrades
brave.
Leaving home and mother, too
With tears she kissed him once again,
Then turned away her head
She could but whisper in her pain
And this was what she said:
"Oh God, be kind to my noble boy,
And bring him back TO me.
He was my comfort and my joy,
/ loved him utterly
But 1 give him now that his country calls,
My brave heroic lad
For CubaS cause he goes to fight
Leaving me lone and sad"
The boys marched on through the city's
streets,
The people shouting gay.
Cheering the heros on TO war
On that balmy April day.

CHAPTER XIX.

Of the Exercises OF a Good Religious
Person
The lift of a good religious person
ought to excel in all virtues; that he
may inwardly be such as outwardly ne
seemeth to man. And rightly there
ought 70 be much more within than is
perceived without.
Fo1. God behOldeth us: whom we are
bound most highly to reverence where
sneyer we are and to walk in purity
like angels in His sight
Dailv ought we to renew our pur-
noses. and to stir up ourselves to great
or fervor. as though this were the first
day of our conversion, and to say.
@HeIp me, Oh my God, in this my
good purpose, and in Thy holy service:
and grant that / may now this day
begin perfectly; for that which l have
done hitherto is as nothing"
According to our purpose shall be the
success of our spiritual meeting; and
much diligence is necessary to him
that will profit him.
And if he that firmly purpOseth often
faileth. what shall he do that seldom
or weakly purposeth anything?
Yet in various ways it happens that
we forsake our purposes, and a. slight
omission of our spiritual exercises is
not without less 10 our souls.
The purpose of just men depends not
upon their own wisdom, but upon Gods
grace: on whom they always rely for
Whatsoever they take in hand.
For man proposes, but God disposes;
neither is the way of man himself
If an accustomed exercise be some
times omitted, either for some act of
piety, or profit to our brother, it may
easily afterwards be recovered again.
But if, out of WEAKNESS or careless
ness, we lightly omit it, it is very
blameworthy and Will be felt to be
hurtful.
Do the best we can, we shall still too
easily fail in many things.
Yet we must always have some fixed
purpose, and especially against those
things which do most of all hinder us.
We must diligently search into, and
set in order both our outward and in

LITTLE HANDS.

Little hands and dimpled fingers
Are not made TO pinch and tear,
But to move in deeds of kindness,
And TO fold in thoughts of prayer.
Little hands can be SO gentle.
They should never. never dare
To be cruel to the creatures
God committed to their care.
Every rosy little finger.
Every loving little hand,
Should be lifted up in mercy,
Should belong to MeTcy's Band.
"All Gods humble harmless creatures
Are the care Of girls and boys.
And God viii not love or cherish
Him who fortunes or destrOysi
Then be gentle, little fingers.
Weave a web like sunshine CLEANS,
Then your days viii ill with music
That viii echo through your dreams.

THE FAMILY PET.

NV mamma says I'm tickle
NV papa calls me pickle,
Though what they mean I'm sure do
not know.
And when I'm warm and creepy,
Just gappy, stretchy, sleepy.
They take me TO the parlor down below,
And there they talk and tease me,
Perhaps they guess they please me
When they ask my name and age-but
they don't,
They say, Come here, my dear
onei'
But m 'fraid to go go near one,
And they want me for to sing-but L
