He falls into a moody frame, and in a tone of regret savs “1 have worked all the year through, but there Is hardly anything to show for it; my work ‘has had no permanence” But a good spirit was beside him and she said: “My dear, do you remember those flowers that grew right out there? Those roses, petunias, hello- tropes, geraniums, and most of all that beautiful Ilium auratum? Well, they are all gone. Not one of them had any permanence, you cannot even find a stem to tell that they existea. And vet they were beautiful while they lasted, filling the air with fra- grance, pleasing the eye of all who saw them, and they are remembered still by many persons to whom they were messengers of gentleness” And the moody shadow seemed to break away from his brow, giving place to a | smile and an air of satisfaction But | later in the day, after all the work was done, and she was weary, heay ing a sigh, she said, sadly “My is just a round of the same duties, and | seems to be wholly fruitiess” It was his time now, and looking uj he said “N my dear see that tree there oak?

When Solomon sald, “Train up a child in the way he should go,” he meant something more than enforcing obedience, Inculeating prin- ciples of honesty and restraining from vice. The young plant must have earth, warmth, moisture and sunshine, or it will never shine in its full beau- ty; and so the young heart must dink the waters of content and joy or the character will be dwarfed and imper- fect.
