Just then Edward Ellis came
.gushing into the room.
“Come on, Hajary,” h« said;
we’re all geing off to Mr. Jones'
woods for nuts. You’ve got time
to go along, haven’t yon?”
“All right I” cried Harry, spring-

A father was swearing dreadful*
ly one day; he had often been re-
buked for it, but never felt the re-
buke; but en the occasion, using a
most horrible expression to his
wife, his little daughter in fright
ran behind the deor and began to
cry. She sobbed aloud uotiL her
father heard her. He said to her,
What are you erying for?”
Please, father,” she said, and kept
on crying. He cried out roughly,
I will know what you are crying
about;” and the child replied.
Dear father, I was crying because
I am so afraid you will go to hell,
for teacher says that swearers
must go there.” “There,” said
ttye man, “dry your eyes, child—I
will never swear any more.” He
kept his word, and soon he went
to see where his child had learned
her holy lesson.
Now, if children living win the
victory, your dear child, with
whose carls you used to play, but
who has been taken to Paradise,
ought to touch your heart if you
are not following in the way to
glory! Yonr child beckons you
from above, and bids you “come
