As soon as a good child,dies, one of God's angels descends upon the earth .takes the child in his.arms, spreads out his large white wings, and flies . over all the , places that were dear to the child, and-plucks -.a handful of flowers, which he then carries to Heaven, in order that they may, bloom still - more beautifully there than theY did here . on earth. The loving God presseth all these flowers to his bosom ;-and then it 'twelves: a 'voice, and can sing and join in the universal bliss. ' An angel of God related this as ho bore. a , dead child to heaven ; and the child heard as in a dream : and they flew over all the spots 1 around the houses where.tlie little one •had (...._ played,and they passed th digh the gardens' with the loveliest flowers .. . • "Which one. shall we take with you and plant in Heaven r asked e angel.' And a beautiful slender r tree was stan ding there; a "Wanton hand. had broken the stem' so that all the branches full of ' large half open rose buds hung down quite withered. " The poor: tree," said the child, "talc "e it. so that it may bloom again on high with the lov ing God. ; • • And the angel'took it and kid the,ebild; and the little one half opene4filit eyek; they gathered same"of the despised daisy and wild a nsy tom "NOW we have flowers," said' the child, and the angel nodded,but they did not yet fly up to Heaven. It was night ;it was quite still. They stray in the great cityt, they floated to and fro in , one of the narrowest streets, where great heaps of of straw,of ashes, and rubbish lay about; there had been a removal. There lay broken pot.. sherds and plates, plaster figures. rags, the crowns of old bats ; nothing that was net dis. pleasing to the sight. And amid the devastation. the angel pointed to the fragnients of a flower pot, and to a clod of earth that had fallen out 'of it, and which was only held together by.the roots of a great withered flower ; but it was good for nothing now, and was therefore thrown' out into the street. "We Will take that ono with us," said the the angel, "and I will tell you about it we are flying." And new they flew on; and the . angel:rela- "Down yonder; in, the narrow street, -in the low celler, lived once , a poor sickly boy. He had been bedridden from his . very .infancy.— When he was - very well indeed, he could just go a fen times up and down the little room on his crutches ; that *as, all. One day in springhis neklbor's-son brought him some flowers, and among. them was i by chance one with a roof, it was therefore plan ted in a flowerpot and placed in the window close by his bedside. •It thrived, put fOrth new shoots and every year had flowers. To; the sick 'boy it u-as the most beautiful - garden his little treasure upon earth; he watered, Mad tended it, and took good care that it got every sunbeam to, the very last that glided by.on the lower pane. And the flower grew, .up in :his very dreams with its color and fragrance; to it he tamed when dying, when the loving _God calledhinto-himselt He Itasnowbeena year with _God ; a year basilic flower stood in the window, withered and forgotten, and • new, " at . -the removal it has -been thrown among 'ether" rubbish in the street; , And that is the flower' - which we have taken - into, our nosegay; for : thisflower Tins caused more joy than the rarest flower, in the : garden of a queen?' " But how do you ktiim all thisr asked the child which the angel was carrying up to Heaven. Eszasfal.t "I know it,". said the ituTel ;"I was myself the little sick boy that weiat , on , crutches; It must surely know my flOwer again." ' • And the child, opened. his eyes and looked in the beautiful, calm:face of the - angel; and at'', the same moment they were in heaven, where was only joy and blesselnes. ;1 • , lIV II :I=J CIRO ialllA. is= illE I love to listen to the fidling,of the snow.— It is unobtrusive and.sweet music:.
