l usually do" "Come with me to the

I'VE will take the poor little invalids
some fruit and flowers, and in making
them happy, you will become cheerful
yourself" Lille had never visited a
hospital before, and thought the long
room, with it's rows of little white
beds, each occupied by a sick child, a
very sad sight. She soon discovered,
however, that the sick children were
not at all sorrowful, not nearly as
unhappy as she had been, previous to
her visit. 81 have everything"
thought she, Health, good home and
loving parents and friends. I am
ashamed of myself for repining."
Thinking thus, she went from bed to
bed, talking to the little patients and
giving them fruit and flowers. They
were all bright and cheerful, although
many of them had little hope of ever
being well again., Lille learned from
them a lesson in patience, never to be
forgotten, and now when inclined to
be respondent, endeavors by making
others happy, to gain happiness for
herself,

TURTLE LIKED THE MUSIC.

The teacher of school at Manches-
ter, N. H., encouraged her pupils to
bring small geological specimens to
school in order to become fully ac-
quainted with them. The resulting
collection included several turtles of
various species. They were all kept
in one Enclosure. The teacher says:
1T was while we had all the speci-
mems together that learned that they
were affected in some way by music.
They appeared to be listening when
the music lesson was in progress
The next music period found me in
the room watching them. Before the
lesson began, the turtles were NOV.
ing slowly about, but the moment the
singing commenced, every head was
up in listening attitude, and l fail
ed to see a movement of head or foot
till the music lesson was ended. What
their sensations were, Of course,
could not tell. 1t is reasonable, how
ever, to believe that they we're pleas
ant, for had they been otherwise the
turtles would have appeared restless.
