There Is One Who Knows.

Dear Uncle Jed. There was a lit- tie girl named Eva Ray. She was a pretty little girl but had a bad habit of telling unrutns. She went to spend a week with her aunt on the farm.
 One day her aunt let her take a nice book to read in the garden. Eva ran to play and left the book on the seat Rain came on and the book was spoiled. When her aunt showed it to her, she said.
 q did not leave it in the garden someone else must have had t."
 Her aunt looked very sad and sent her to her room. saying:
 Eva, there is One above who knows what you do, if nobody on earth eau tell when you speak the truth"

LITTLE ORIGINAL STORIES.
A Stalk of Corn.

The first thing I remember I was lying in the ground. It was damp and cold there. l crept up nearer to the sun, every day.
 One morning when I woke I saw the sun shining upon me and l felt warm. l grew taller every day, and warm rains fell upon me. I was happy all summer.
 The birds would often stop to talk to me.
 One day a little girl came out where I was She said:
 What lovely sweet corn! must have some for my supper" so she picked off all my ears and took them home, and put them into a kettle with some more ears of corn. When they were done she ate them up.
 The hired man came and cut me down. He gave me to the COW. who ate me up.

 When they arrived at Suez, Hassan was surprised to find his son, All, at Suez with a party on his camers back Hassan hadn't seen him for about four years. They both were glad to see each other. They could not stay long because Ali had anothed party to bring down.
 When the parted Hassan went ir one direction and Ali went in another They afterwards met each other car rying people on their camels.

My Visit to Grandpa's.

One morning very early before the sun was up, l sterted on the train with my cousin for Grandpa's farm in Mas sachusetts.
 I took by doll with me, and she seemed to like riding on the train.
 We saw the sun peeping it's little bright red face over the hills as we rushed by on the train.
 Grandpa met us at the train with the team, and we had fine ride down to the farm.
 We were so lively and made so much noise that Grandpa wrote back to mother, who was anxious to hear from us, that the two cyclones had arrived safe.
 We had a pleasant vacation. We were sorry when the time came tC leave the farm.

 Well, John, what do you think of yesterdays sermon? ?'
 Tt moved me deeply. sir" the miser replied. Tt brought home to me sc strongly the necessity of giving aims that, honestly, sir, I've a great mind tC turn beggar myself.
