A Sad Disappointment.
FINDING that she could not hide her
baby any longer. the mother constructed
a little craft OF bulrushes put the babe
In It and placed 1t on the bank OF the
river Nile. That must have been a SAD
day for the poor mother, when she press
Cd him TO her bosom and kissed him Tor
the last time.
'.Rlt there was some ray OF nope III
the mothers breast, else she would not
have constructed the little craft so Sc
curelv. Doubtless she thought some
sailor or fisherman would pick the pre-
cious little form up. Really she got
more than she expected. 1T Is rarely true

Light Ahead.
"But there came light to the poor
mother It came through her daughter,
Miriam. After the babe was put in the
flags on the river bank Miriam was placed
out In the bushes to watch the little
craft Of the bulrushes What task that
was. Watching her baby brother and
not knowing what moment the tide would
sweep him out or some mighty water
monster would devour him But tho
suspense IS not long. Pharaoh's daughter
came down to battle. And her maidens
saw the little bark in the flags. and re-
ported TO her Then she commanded that
lney should bring it to her. And when
she opened it she saw that 1t contained
a baby, and behold the babe wept'
This was enough. There Is hardly
