A Cradle Hymn. Hush, my dear, lie still and slumber, Ho\y angels guard thy bed; Heavenly blessings without number Gently falling on thy head. Sleep, my babe; thy food and raiment, House and home thy friends provide, All without thy care or payment, All thy wants are well supplied. How much better thou'rt attended Than the Son of God could be. When from Heaven He descended. And became a child like thee! Soft and easy is thy cradle; Coarse and hard the Savior lay, When His birth place was a stable, And His softest bed was hay. Blessed babe! what glorious features, Spotless fair, divinely bright! Must He dwell with brutal creatures? How could angels bear the sight? Was there nothing but a manger > Cursed sinners could afford, To receive the heavenly stranger? Did they thus effront the Lord ? Soft, my child; I did not ohide thee, Though my song might sound 100 hard ; 'Tis thy mother Bits beside thee. And her arms shall be thy guard. Yet to read the shameful story. How the Jews abused their King, How they served the Lord of glory, Makes me angry while I sing. See the kinder shepherds round Him, Telling wonders from the sky! Where they sought Him there they found mm With His Virgin Mother by. See the lovely babe adressing; Lovely Infant, how He smiled! When He wept, the mother's blessing Soothed ana hushed the holy child. Lo.He slumbered In His manger, Where the horned oxen fed ; Peace, my darling, here's no dangor, Here's no ox a-near thy bed. Twas to save thee, child, from dying, Save my dear from burning flame, Bitter groans, and endless crying, That thy blest Redeemer came. Mayst thou live to know and fear Him, Trust and love Him all thy days; Then go dwell forever near Hiro, See His face and sing His praise! 1 could give a hundred kisses, Hoping that I most desire; Not a mother's fondest wishes Can to greater Joys aspire. A Queer Proierb. There is a queer old German proverb which tells us, "The best is often the * " J? 1TT1 a, J :i enemy 01 tne gooa." ?uat uura it . mean ? I think I can show you. Have you ever heard a boy say in school, "I shan't bother over that lesson. I couldn't get to the top of the class if I tried"? He is possibly not a stupid fellow at all; he could take a fair place among his schoolmates, but bepause he can't have the "best" place, he won't try to take a "good" one. So wanting the best actually prevents his doing good: "The best is the enemy of the good." Another illustration. A man knows it is a good thing to be religious, he even admires a comrade who loves God and worships him, who denies himself to benefit his wife and children, and to help the very poor; he secretly desires to be like him. But then he says, "What's the use? I should get tired of going to church every Sunday; I couldn't turn teetotaler; I couldn't give up my pipe; and if I did, I should forget myself at times, and fly into a passion with my wife when she contradicts me, or snouia mc jem wnen ne aon c uuas i bid him, and then where should I be? Oh, no, I'd better not try." So because he can't be best all in a minute, as good as a man who for years had leu a Christian life, he won't even try to be good. The best is the enemy of the good here. But ought it to be so ? Are not the "good" and the "best" brothers of the same family? Ought not a man to feel, I can always try to be good, and if I fail even, I am nearer the best than if I had not tried? It is a great mistake to think that a man who tries to give up sin for a time and then has a fall, is worse than if he '{ - had not tried at all. I tell you he is better, aye, better tnougn me aevii may nave got mm at a weak moment, and persuaded him to commit the very sin he vowed himself never to commit. I know the world thinks differently, but never mind tbe world. That man has only to rise up ashamed and repentant, aud to say humbly, "I will try again," and he is in? a better position than the scoffer who marks his fall and proclaims it in the marketplace, declaring, "Well, I never made any profession, thank God !" Yes, he often puts in these last two words, though what he has to thank God for, just then, poor fellow, I hard Jy know. So the end of this little sermon, dear friends is, "Try to be good, and never mind being best," and don't let scoffers persuade you that trying to be good is "making a profession." They hold you up to scorn if you don't keep to that profession, but if you had no falls, and continued perfectly steadfast, the world would still find fault with you somehow, I am certain; for those who won't try even to be "good," are sure to dislike the man who dees: He is a living reminder to them that there is a better and safer road than the one they are travelling on, and that makes thegi envious ana snarling. Lady Maud. Kitty was a little girl who liked to have her own way, and always thought she knew better than any one else what was best for her, and so she was often in trouble. One day her father said he would take her to the creek to fish, and Kitty said Lady Maud must ?0 too. Now Lady Maud was a beautiful wax doll, with lovely yellow curls, and she was aressea in pins suk. jviwy tnougnt a great deal of her, for she was a birthday present from an uncle she loved dearly. "I think you had better not take the doll, Kitty,'' said her father; "young ladies do not go fishing in pink silk." When she reached the creek she put the (fall down on a stone under a tree near the bank, and she was sure Lady Maud was safe. But a little later she heard a loud grunt, and lookiDg around saw a wild hog rooting around the stone on which the doll sat. Kitty jumped up with a loud cry and the hog rushed away; but in passing the stone it knocked the dell down the bank, and Kitty saw the water close V*a* uvci uoi unuiug. The creek was deep at this spot, and Kitty's father had to fish a long time for Lady Maud. When he drew her from the water at last her wig was soaked off, the paint was all washed from her face, and the pink dress was ruined. Kitty cried until she was almost sick, but it was a lesson to her. She learned through the loss of her doll that her father was wiser than she, affor oil VV4 "** wi&w - _ -44^^ All the world is but one orphanage, so long as its children know not God. their Father; and all wisdom and knowledge is only mere bewildered darkness so long as you have not taught thepa the fear of the Lord; not to be taken out of. the world in monastic sorrow but to be kept from its evil , in shepherded peace.
