II Like to See Everything Happy"
"Takc care, my dear! Mind you
don't fall in! What arc you reach
ing aftcr2"
The words came from lady
passing along country lane, and
were addressed to a little girl who
was leaning over a pond by the
roadside, reaching after something
with long twig which she had
apparently picked up in the hedge.
The child drew back as the lady
spoke, and turning to her said
simply:
ooh, if you please, ma a'am, here
is poor bee got into the water,
and can't get out again, and Pm
afraid he will be drowned. / was
trying TO push that leaf to him, for
him to crawl upon, but my sticl,
isn't long enough, and l can't
reach it,"
"Lct me try" said the lady,
smiling 81 dare say can manage
it. Poor little bcc," she said, as
she took tho twig from the child S
hand, "you shall not be drowned
if VIC can help you we should not
like to be drowned ourselves !"
And with little effort she sue
cccdcd in guiding the leaf to the
drowning insect. They watched
it with deep interest as it struggled
to gain footing on the dry leaf e;
and when at length it succeeded
and began to wipe the water from
its wings, it would have been hard
to say which was the more pleased
the lady or the child!
"Thcrc, I think it will do now,"
said tho lady. "The warm sun.
shine will soon dry its wings, anc
it will fly away as gaily as ever.'
'But l have known children
she said, as they went along the
lane togcther-for they were botf
going in the same "botl
boys and girls, who would have
taken more pleasure in seeing tina
poor little creature drowned thar
in helping it out Of the water.
know one boy in particular who,
fear, would even have thrown
stones into the water to sink tn
poor thing. I am glad that no sucl
boys or girls caught sight of it be

| $50 am T." said the child, I"
like to see everything happy"
81 like to sec everything happy!'
| What a beautiful sentiment! How
| like God it is to have such a feel
ing! Look at the myriad creature
that God has made, and with whicl
he has peopled the world! So diff
ferent in size and shape, in habit
and movements; some hyinl
through the air, others burrowin,
in the earth; some walking owe
the land, oilers swimming through
the water. Think how wonderful,
he has provided for the innumerabl
wants of all these creatures, and i,
various ways fitted them for enjoy
ment, and how evident it become
that God loves TO see everything
happy!
Learn the lesson, dear children
the lesson of kindness, not only t
one another, but to all Gods crea
tures.-Children's Friends.
