“Of oourae, ami so do grown up

“Was that what Mr. Chjf meant

“Yes, my son, that was jast what

“I sm sure I should hate to have

“Well, if you wish to be known as
a good man, you must begin early.
In everything try to leave your mark
upon it as urfl done. Never cheat In
marbles; never tell a lie; never play
truant from school. Always act ia
an honorable way.”
“A little boy like me mn*t do
much, father.”
“Not a great deal; but if cbihkcn

that is enough. A boy can make his
mark as a Christian boy, ami be

“I am determined never to leave a

, About thirty-two years ago, a
poor but pious widow, the keeper of
th* light,boose ou tbe Kentjah roast,
obtained a ndssiouary box, and re
solved to devote to the cause of
Christ all tbe mouey that might be
given to her before twelve every
Monday morning.. On the next
Monday morning a gentleman visit
ed the light-boose, and seeing her in
tbe attire of a widow, gave her a
sovereign.
Tbe poop woman was perplexed;
db “large a sum would be of great
service to her during her present
pressing necessity; tbe doctor's bill
was unpaid, too. She asked tbe
advice of friends; one advised her
one way, another tlie coutrary. At
last sha resolved to ask God in
prayer what sbe ought to do with
tbe sovereign. She rose from her
knees convinced tliat it belonged to
the'miastooK, and site at once pat it
in the box. God, who is a Hnshand
to the widow and a Father to the
fotberfess, was not unmindful of her
faithfulness.
Iu thp course of tbe day, a widow
of high rank, with her daughter and
several nttemhints, called to inapset
