GOD SEES YOl\ I once heard it related, that a man who i ^vas in the jiabit of going to his neighbour's j cornfield to steal corn, one day took with ' him his son, a boy eight years of age:? The father told him to stand still, while he j looked if there was any person near to see j - -him. After.standing on the fence, and peep- \ ing through all the corn-rows, he returned to ! lake the bag from the child, and begun his j guilty work. Father, said the boy, yor for- j rgot to look somewhere else. The man drop- 1 ped tho bag in a fright, and said which way, child, supposing lie had seen some one. j You forgot to look up to the sky, to see if God was noticing you. The father felt tbis j ami-nn.f nf the fluid ?n much. that ho left the I corn, returned home & never again ventured i to steal, remembering the fcrnth the child had taught him. The eye of God always beholds i us. Thou, God, scest me. Think of this | when tempted to omit prayer, to steal and j take what yoD have 110 right to. Look j upward: God is in the sky, and in the clouds and in the sun, and at night he is in the inoon, and in the thickest darkness, and lie 4?ees you. , EARLY, ACTIVE AND STEADY EMPLOYMENT, 1 , IS THE SECUET OF BRINGING UP CHILDREN J WELL.

A rich father should always ' help a child when ho proves his abilities "to ! help himself and no sooner.
