S. < more, wil you!” said Katie; and *be kind and good-natured to those who pleased him, and it would seem that Esther was often able to influence him for good. The most striking instance of this, and the greatest ©vent in Esther’s history, was the saving of her Jew- ish countrymen from a terrible mas sacre, to wliloh the king had giveu his consent at the advice of a mali cious Amalekite, named Hainan. At the risk of her own life the queen ventured uubidden into her hus band's presence, and by her courage and self-devotion obtained permis sion for all the Jews to defend them selves against their enemies. This was the utmost that Ahasuerus could grant, because a Persiau decree could uot be altered if ouce it had beeu writteu dowu among the laws of the empire. Hainan was hanged upou the gallows which he had pre pared for Mordecai; and the Jews, instead of being put to death, had “light, and gl&dncsa, ami jog, and honor,” during the rest of the reign of Ahasuerus. In gratitude to God they appointed a solemn feast to be kept every year in remembrauce of their wonderful escape; and because Hainan had drawu lots to tlnd out what time would be best for their slaughter they called it the Feast of Puiim; that is, the Feast of Lots. It is ofteu noticed that the book of Esther, which tells us all this, has not ouce iu it the uame of God. But let us remember that every chapter of it shows the wooderful working of God’s providence in even the small est matters, and the whole book shows He overrules all things for good, and makes eveu the wrath of man praise Him. home his master's wig carefully sus pended on a species of light block, his last puff of powder and last torn of the curls ready lor church on the Sabbath morning.

A young man was riding on horseback, when a stone, thrown by a little boy, •hit the horse and (lightened him so £hat he started aud threw the young mun 011 the ground, aud injured him very much.

A youth was returning home from school. Just as he was enter- yig his father’s gate, he heard a sound in the street, aud, turning his head, was struck by a stone thrown by a little boy, which hit him in the eye and at once destroyed his sight Now that poor yoath must go all his days with a blind eye, just because the other little fellow would amuse himself throwing stones. These two anecdotes met my eyes tbe same day- in the newspapers, which show that such things occur very often. And probably, if in the last case the stone bad hit the boy on the temple, it would have killed him. Again, then, I say, don’t throw stones, where there is a possibility of their hitting any one."
