AND THE ANGELS HOVER NEAR.

snow lay me down to sleep,'
oh, the sweetness of the prayer
Lsped by baby lips that keep
Still the smile the angels wear.
"If die before | wake
(I[eaven's songs are hushed to hear)
81 pray thee, Lord, my soul to take"
(And the angels hover near).
"Our Father which art in Heaven
Still the lips, smile curved and sweet,
From guileess heart is given
Prayer with holy faith replete.
"Thy kingdom come. thy will be DONE
Heaven songs are hushed to hear
And above the kneeling one,
Heavens angels hover near.
On the face that was so fair
That the angels smiled upon
There's the shade OF earthly care,
And the trust in God is gone.
Oh, the sadness of the day
Guardian angels weep the while)
When those lips refuse to pray
Hard the heart, and changed the smile
Like a little child aS 'ln,
IIumbly asking what is best,
After strife and sin and pain,
Comes the sad soul seeking rest.
"God be merciful to me-
(Heaven's songs are hushed to hear)
Contrite heart, It's we'll with thee
(And the angels hover near.

plant. NO, | won't blossom. The
frost may kill me; that's not my look
out; but if | open my petals now before
my time. all. then indeed the summers
work will have been in vain" SO the
little plant folded its leaves still closer
aroand the buds, and decided to face
the frost
But the wind, instead of dying down,
increased; and the next morning there
was a great storm abroad. For three
days the plant had all it could do to
keep from being dashed to the ground.
Toward the evening of the third day
the wind changed and it was very cold.
The plant cou.d scarcely breathe. Not
a sound was heard anywhere save the
beat, beat of the waves on the shore.
All night the plant stood waiting be-
meath the stars.
''This may be the end," it said. "Per-
haps the frost is even now killing me. :"
But such was not the case at all. For
the sun the next morning flooded the
whole world with warm, soft light.
He touched the little plant: Come,
beautiful flower" he said, ''open your
eyes. You are all ready; you may see
the blue sky face to face"
Slowly the plant unfolded, and spread
it's lovely corolla wide open to the sky.
The great, blue dome, covering the
whole world, and filled with a mystic
rious silence, looked down upon the lit
tie flower, and not word of welcome
did the plant hear.
And then did the blossom tremble,
do you think? and was there shadow
of turning anywhere? No, for the
summer work had not been useless. 1t
had not been bitten by the rabbit,
and frightened by the COW, and borne
the taunts of the flowers, looking into
the face of the killing frosts, and
always resisting the temptation to
hurry; it had not SO lived in vain.
For now the little plant looked up
into the face of the sky as quietly and
serenely as though it had received the
warmest of welcomes. And there, ah!
what change. The great sky bent
down to it as tenderly as only the sky
can bend.
"My child," it whispered softly, "my
beautiful onev'
Even in this great happiness the
plant was not quite overcome; and,
when a little later it found ont a
wonderful secret, even then its fringes
trembled only little.
A child came running across the
meadow.
30 mamma, mammal" she cried;
:'here's piece of blue sky right here in
the cows pasture"
"Why, sure enough, so there is
replied the little girls mamma. ut is
the beautiful blue fringed gentian.

Then the little plant knew that it had
reached the goal, and won the prize that
50 many of the flowers covet.
