THE LOST POCKET-BOOK'
OR THE TENPiATIOH.
William Carter arose from a bed 'of fitful mind uneasy+

Haeopshire. William's be was hardiand the

she layell night, moaning with pain, and shirgll

Willan arose, I said, and having kindled a fire: went
forth into the open.air. The clouds were black and heavy.
and the winds swept in gusts through the naked triers.
Away in the distance. the lops of the mountains were al!
ready white with snow. He had engaged a day's work
on a neighborielfarai, but it was useless to go—the far
mer Would not work that day; so he turned with a haavy
st,p, and entered his cheerless dwelling. The ch ildren
were siSon stirring, indithe pale, suffering mother rose
from her restless couch; to prepare. the morning . rrwial. A
few potatoes were boiled for the father auctehildrpn. and
a cup of gruel prepared for,hereelf. 1
W.lliain Carter and Ms wife 'hadseen betteedays; but

elty of others, had driven them forth from their peasant
home, which be had spent the strength of his eirly map
hood to melange. and forced them to take shelter in their
miserable abode. They were Christians. and they had
hitherto borne up under the crushing weight of their
atlliet l osis, with a meek-nod quiet spirit. Looking for
ward to that bright hereafter, they had suffered patiently.
kapwing that those afflictions are but for a raiment, and
the glory that shall be revealed. eternal.
It had \long been William Carter's practice to a rnble
his family in the morning. to hear the blessed tru hs of
inspiration, and to bow before the mercy -seat of he Ten.
That morning, the children seated thentselverr as usual,
and Mrs. Carter brought forth the Bible, and laid it be
ferither husband. Moving it away.he said, cannot read
or pray. 1 have no faith. and what is not of faith is sin,"
and rising, he seated himself at the table. The childrou
locked up with astoniiihmeat.
"What is the matter, father?" said little Alice, pram
og close to his chair.
••%Vhy don't feu ask God for our daily bread?"
A tear 'tale silently down the mother's cheek. as she
took her place with her family around her ecanty board.
••Why can't we haVe gout• bread and butter?" said
hide JaMes, a child six plan Old, pushing away the po
tatoes all the time.
An expression of agony passed,over the father's face.
Ai torrent of bitter feelings were rushing throiigh his
heart—murmurings against Prothdencie--repinings at his
let—unbelief in God.
"Why should my children want &rinsed. while gibers
have enough and to spare" be exclaimed. ''Have I

God hes promised to them that trust is himl The mita

"Do not arraign the justice and the wisdom of God."
said Mrs. Carter, wiping aii.ey her tears. and looking ten
derly on her hashand. Our Heavenly Father will not
suffer us to be tempted nor afflictei beyoad'what we are
able to bear." 6
"tetz!—l would heir anything bat this. I can bear
toil, humiliation and wanymyself; but 1 cannot see my
children pine for bread, and l yon shivering in this miser

The wife rose from her place. and approaching her
