\{ What She Could Do.
^ Susan Bolles was a plain, quiet sis- {
jj ter of a beautiful, brilliant girl. (
1 At school Lena, at the head of the ]
j* class, rattled over French verbs or Ro- ,
J man history which she had commit- j
, ted to memory in an hour, while Su- <
san poured over them in vain. It is j
true that Lena forgot her lessons as (
quickly as she learned them, but she ,
I had a faculty of displaying every \
v scrap 01 Kiiowieuge 111 u wuy wureii j
m won her notice and applause. ,
l" The whole school regarded her as a .
)r genius, and was proud of her poems J
,0 and essays. She was the coining |
George Eliot or Tennyson, they boast- ,
ed. They were not aware, what wan ,
jl nevertheless the fact, that there was a 1
close resemblance in the ideas and ,
f) words of all that she wrote to those of j
? the last book which she had read. j
Susan also ai first labored over |
(i poems and stories of Italian brigands, (
but failed utterly, and finally acqui- ,
j. esced in the opinion of the school girls j
n that she wjvs a dunce. "Susan," said (
j her teacher, "is no linguist, no musi- ,
cian, no mathematician. It is ditfi- |
_ cult to determine in what her talent ,
I lies."
,* Hut Susan's keenness of observation i
and her warm heart made her a help- i
* fill child. It was Susan who saw thai
1 her father's gloves needed mending, j
i and who darned them so neatly ; it ,
, was Susan only who knew how to
make dry, crisp toast for her mother
wheu she was ill; it was Susan who
handled the baby more skillfully and
tenderly than aaybody else. No scrap
i of knowledge about the ordinary atfairs
of life was any too trifling for her
? to learn.
" "Susan," said Lena contemptuously,
"will be an admirable, cook, seam,
stress and nurse." She felt that she
herself was bom for something higlif.
er. But when one of the scholars cut
an artery, one day, it was Susan who
quietly made a tourniquet and stopped
j the bleeding till the doctor came.
"You have saved her life, child," he
u said. "How did you learn to do it?" (
"T Kuw if in n hnnlr " aho cniH rnnil
estly. She bad poured over books |
which taught of the care of the house, |
' children, or the sick. These things (
* >he could remember. "I am a dunce, <
r but I may be of some little use," she j
;[ thought. t
" As time passed, her quick observa*
Dion, her tact and kindly sympathy
j made Susan a practical, useful woman,
and gave her a charm of manner that .
. gathered about her hosts of friends. ,
Lena was always showy, superficial,
and helpless. As she grew older, she J
. missed the applause which had follow*
ed her in youth, and grew bitter and
ill tempered.

I) It was Saturday morning in a big
? farm house kitchen. Nell was bend- 1
ing over the sink picking a chicken, '
j wnh a decided scowl on her face;
h Hattie was kneading bread with an |
it expression of grim determination suite
able for a soldier ucaling his enemies'
(] breastworks ; and Susan was shelling <\
[was, her pretty face spoiled by the set- \
,s discontent about the mouth. The
o tfirls were not talking?they never
?- talked while they worked?but they ?
o often spoke sharply and unkindly,
i) Work was to them a separate state of
d existence in which the Christian grace .
a played no part.
;t "J)id I leave my whip in here?"
n asked a hesitating voice,
d ''No," snapped Nell, "it's a wonder
s you didn't for you are always leaving
is something around for us to tread on."
- "It has fallen down under your
clmir Susan," he said, coming in to
pick it up.
"Ned, you are always bothering
somebody," fretted Susan, while she
r arose with ungraciousness in her
a movement.
"Father called me to come quick
u and catch the chicken, and I stood it

o and gladly made his escape.

A man who was not himself a
Christian married a lovely, earnest
minded Christian waman. She di<
all in her power, both by her exampli
and precept and earnest prayers, to in
fluence her husband; but, thougl
kind and loving to her, he did notlov*
the Saviour, which was the source o
much anxiety to her. She was taker
sick, and it proved her last sickness
One clay, coming into the room anc
seeing his dear wife lying so wan aiu
sick, he could not help showing hi<
emotion in his face. The quick eye o:
love detected it, and grasping his hand
with all the earnestness of a lovinc
wife and dying Christian, she pourec
?? ?i ~ ?.?i f/v
out/ iier wnuie sum iu piojci iu vjuju
for his conversion, and that he mighl
meet her in heaven. He was much
moved, but his heart was not changed.
She died. They had one little gir]
who had seen just six summers; bu1
already the seed of divine truth sowed
in the heart of her little girl, watered
by the divine blessing, had taken root,
and was destined in God's providence
to bring an answer to her mother's
prayers.
The father took his little girl to the
?rave, and as she stood there and saw
the remains of her dear mother put
under the cold sod, it was almost more
than her little heart could bear, and
die broke out into such an agony ol
^rief that all were moved with pity at
the sorrow of the poor, motherless
ihild. When all was over the father
led her by the hand to her home. On
the way, with a most pitying expression,
she looked up to his face and said,
'Father, what will we do now mother
is dead?" He said, "I know not, my
jhild, myself." When near the house
she said, "0, father, it seems to me I
Jon't want to go home any more, now
mother is not there." Her little mind
ivas busy and suddenly throwing her
irms around her father's knees, she
mid, "Father, I know what we must
;lo now; you must pray, father, you
must pray." He had to tell his little
jirl he did not know how to pray.
'But," said he, "your mother taught
pou to pray; you say your prayer."
She replied, "Then, father, you come
11.- ...r.??
jpiijiuuit: ruuiu wucic inv/un^i umu
:o pray ho much." They knelt together,
and with her arm around his neck
die 9aid the prayer her dear mother
iad taught lier, and lo! it was a pray?r
for him, that, lie might love the Saviour,
and that he and she might meet
tier in lieaven. This was more than
Lhat heart of stone could stand, and
bursting into a Hood of tears, lie cried
from the bottom of a sin stricken soul,
'God be merciful to me a sinner."
And thus his little child had taught
lilm to pray, and God wrought an answer
to her mother's prayers.
Alone With God.?Christian life
in nnr dav is full of aetivitv. It finds
pleasure in planning, givingand working
for the growth of Christ's kinglom.
The spirit of consecration gives
joy to all Christians who recognize it,
md inspires confident hopes in the aggressive
movements of the church.
But it conceals also a great peril. All
Christian power springs from communion
with God, and from the in*
Jwellingof divine grace. One can do
*ood to others only as his own heart
pulsates with love to Je9us, and has a
present experience of his love. We
;an impart only what we receive.
(Vuy spring will run dry unless fed
'rom unfailing springs. Any Chrisian
labor will be fruitless, and Christian
zeal be like sounding brass, unless
;he soul waits daily upon God, and
inds new strength in prayer and in
he study of the Bible.?Selected.

A C.ront Mhii'n OreatCNt Thought.
At a dinner at the Astor House,
i when Daniel Webster was Secretary of
State under President Filmore, after a
. period of silence which fell upon tne
company of some twenty gentlemen
who were present, one of the guests
. said :
"Mr. Webster, will you tell us what
, was the most important thought that
ever occupied your mind ?"
Mr. Webster slowly passed his hand
over his forehead, and in a low tone
inquired of one near him :
"Is there any one here that does not
know me?"
''None, all are your friends."
"The most important thought that
ever occupied my mind," said Mr.
Webster, "was that of my individual
responsibility to God." And after
speaking of this subject in the most
solemn strain for twenty minutes, he
silently rose from the table and retired
to his room.
This incident related by Harvey in
his "Reminiscences," served to illustrate
the attitude of great minds towards
eternal tilings. Great men are
not scoffer?. The men of flippant
jeers and godless jests are men of small
caliber and shallow intellect. J t is uot
