Johnny had been told that his tither would die, but he.did not know what death meant; and, therefore, with all the innocence of a good littlo boy, he asked his father what he could do to help him. "You cannot help me Johnny," said the sick father; "but when I am gone, you can help your mother." "Where is papa going to'?" said John.— "Can't you let me go with him ?" "No, nobody can g.o with we ; I must go alone." "When will papa come back ?" said the little follow; "without any papa where will we get money to buy uur bread ?" "I shall never come back, my dear boy.— When people die they never come back." "Well, then, will you not send for Rs, pa. pa? for - we can't live without,you." "You will break my heart, Johnny, if you talk so.

"Do you want to buy . a boat ?" said he 1: .large boy who was passing. "You get out ..?"!' said the boy, as he book d_the boat into Johnny's face and broke the ant.

"What do you find there'!" "Nothing but my shingle boat," said John ny. "When you made that boat, you made your fortune," said the Captain. "Under the boat is my last will, and all the property I have is yours." John became a rich man, and be deserved it. Now, what is the object of this story Merely to teach ;you, that, if you are good, and do all you can, God will in some way help you.

Memory How many mingled memories are hidden away in every soul, memories of good and 111, of joy and sorrow, that wait the wooing of the will to spring into vivid and glowing life before us,. or start unbidden into our presence in the quiet hours of loneliness and meditation. how the soul can sweep back ward' over the history of its being, and bask itself iu the golden sunshine of the long ago ; and listen to the sweet tnelodjes that make eternal concord i n the soul's inner temple ! the sweet intonations of sonic song that thrilled us with a mystic joy years ago, come floating into our consciousness with a dreary rapture and a peace like that of "The Eden Above;" so, too, we bend' over the dear fa. ces that have been hallowed by the tender est associations of our lives, with a quietly, .mingled, perchance, with a tinge of sadness that a.ll they represent and suggest to us is irrevocably gone save in its results and in fluences upon our plastic hearts.
