I jes’ don’ know ef de cohn’ll grow,
But I plants hit jes’ de same;
I jes’ don’ know ef de wind’ll blow,
But I watch an’ pray, an’ I reap an’
SOW,
And de sun he rise, an’ de ribber flow
An’ de Lord know my name.
I can’t jes’ tell f de cotton sell,
But I toil on jes’ de same;
De birds dey sing when the spring sap
swell,
An’ dey know enough fer a rainy spell
An dats lots more dan dey gwine ter
tell—
An de good Tawd know my name.
So I watch an’ pray yas I goes my
way, z
An’ ¥ %oils on jes’ de same;
De rose is sweet, but de rose can’t
stay
But I'm mighty glad when it blooms
my way; i
De night fall dark, but de Lawd send
day,
An de good Lawd know my name.
—Frank L. Stanton.
A Scotch woman whose son is at
thefront was loudly berating the Kai-
ser, when the parson called. He ven-
tured to suggest that ‘we should love
our enemes and pray for them.”
“Oh, but I do pray for him, too,”
said the woman.
“What do you say?”
“I say, ‘O Lord, deal with that old
blackguard, saften his heagt, and
damp his powther!’” :
Mother o’ Mine
If I were hanged on the highest hill,
I know whose love would follow me
still:
Mother o’ mine.
If I were drowned in he deepest sea,
I know whose tears would come down
to me:
Mother o’ mine.
If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make
me whole:
Mother o’ mine,
A Temptation Overcome.
Convalescing from a severe illness
a mother was dozing in a chair in the
library. On the tabl€ beside her stood
a bowl of fruit which her little daugh-
denly the child came into the room.
Thinking her mother quite asleep she
advanced on tiptoe, took a couple of
oranges fro the bowl, and left the
room as silently as she had entered.
Naturally the mother was surprised
and grieved by this action on the
part of her little daughter but she
gave no sign that she was really a-
waké. About ten miutes
child reappeared at the door. Her
mother was still apparently asleep
and, with the fruit untouched in her
hand, the little girl crept into the
room as silently as she had entered it
before. Replacing the oranges in the
bowl she turned to go, and her moth-

Mr. Devil.”
That Empty Back Seat
A ‘very small girl, beside whose;
chair leaned a little crutch, pressed
her face against the window pane one
morning and watched the man who
lived next door as he backed his auto-
mobile out of the garage; she was
absolutely motionless while he in-
spected the car, cranked up the en-
ginee and started off. After watching!
him out of sight she wiped a tear
from each eye , and picked a rag doll
that lay on her lap.
“Now, Lily Violet Rose,” said she
to the .doll, in a voice that quivered
ever so little, “you sit right up there
on the table. You are a little girl what
has a pain in your hip every minute.
You can’t go outdoors ’ceptin’ some-
body pushed you in the go-cart; and
you never was in a awe-mobile, never
once. 'N’ you sit up there in your
room and watch me. I am a great big,
man; and I don’t have any pain in my:
hip and I can walk all over; and I got |
