So he told ihem the following story by way of, illustration : In the deepening twilight of a summer's evening a pastor called at the residence of one of his parishioners and found seated in the doorway a little boy with hands extended upward hold ing a line. "What are you doing hero, my little friend ?" inquired the minister. "Flying my kito. sir," was the prompt reply. "Flyiug your kite !" exclaimed the pastor. "I can see no kito?you can ate none." "I cannot see it, bat 1 know it is there, for L feel it pull !" The children were all deeply interested, and j tho clergymen continued : "Now, in a few days after this, the mother of the little boy was about to dio, and she said to him ? l'$iftfOBg when I am an angel, I will come, if I can, and be with you, j and shield you from harm, and watch to see that you grow up to be a good man, Will you try my darling to-th ink some times that I am by your side 7" And' the little boy said he would. "Now, my^ deair children," said the mi'iistcr, ' when that blessed an^cl came back from hoaven and hovered over her child, tod placed _her hands upon nis ffeafl anioa4 the fair and golden hair, how did HI1 know that sho was there, for he could not see her?" "Why, \\e/>ll her puil, of course !" roated the class in unison, and With the promptness of absolute eertaioty. The speaker sn| down all of a sudden, at.d the exercises cuucludcd with the singing of a hymn. ?Wrd! who Begging For Work.

'Well, go and take hold with tho men,' replied the merchant, pointing to the hoistway, up which bags of coffee, bar rels of rice, and other heavy packages were ascending. * ** ***1 Without hesitation, the lad polled off his jacket and began. polling lustily at the rope.
