People called the old man eu "every day Christian" ; for his re• ligion was a part of the great dust nese of hie life. Very often while he satin the kitchen drinking the glass of milk which Larry's mother Wall sure to offer him, the two would talk of God's goodnoes and love as freely as other people speak of the Drops or the %eather, And why not ? Ie the soul's health of lee a import Hoe than the welfare of the body ? One day Larry Saw the pedlar drive in at the gate, and ran out to meet him. "Ali, Larry, how you grow I" ex claimed the old man cheerily. "You have already eight years, -ie it nos ? What a fine cigar I have yeetorday Been you smoking 1" "Me ?" asked Larry in surprise. "Oui-yes-yourself." "No, it was not I." "No ? But it is not possib' that I could make mistake. It was truly your oust that tho boy wore, and, as well, that pretty cap." Still the boy stoutly insisted, "No, it wae not I." The Frenchman sighed and quiet ly dropped the enbject, but he look- ed puzzled. It was Saturday, but Larry did not go out to play, as usual, that day. Ile followed his mother about the house as ebe busied herself with her work, but he looked very mis- erable. When night came on, she went up with him to hie bed -room, as she always did. It took him it long while to get undressed ; then be had a good deal of trouble ohoos mg the right ohapter to read. When at last he was ready to say his prayers, he hid his face in his mother's lap, and, with tears of shame, confessed that he had not only disobeyed her, but he had told the pedlar a lie. He owned that he had been very unhappy all• day, and that he had kept hoping elle would ask about the cigars for his heart ached with carrying suoh a guilty load. The mother took her boy in her arms, and forgave him for disobey- ing her ; but she told him that he had broken two of God's laws, and he mutt $rot confess his ein to God and ask his pardon, then own the lie to the Frenohman, and ask his forgiveness also. Larry hung his bead, for it wae a hard thing to toll Las oi:l blend that he lied spoken an uutrutir. It seemed much Waaler to go with his sin to God, whom he knee;' to be full of compassion, than to his fellowmen whose anger he feared. But, in the end, bo prom. ised to take hie mother's advice. It was not long be ore the pedlar carte again Hoping so to make it easier for her boy, Larry's mother took his hand, .and led him to the kitchen, where the Frenchman was ' d Larry has "My friend, saying, , Y g,.

There was 'a moment's hush, then the Pedlar said reverently,Dietiv n W a will prey to God 1" The three kneeled together on the kltohee fluor, while iu broken accents the Frenchman thanked God fur tie tender ooi,goionce of the child, and earueetly prayed that he would guide Larry'e young feet past the dangers and pitfalls of the years to Dome. It was a prayer which Larry never forgot.

A LITTLE BURDEN BEARER. Mamma had said "Good -night," and Ned and Joe were left alone in their little while beds. "Joe," whispered Ned, "wasn't that a first-rate sermon the new ]sinister preached this morning ?" 'Yes, 1 guess so," Joe responded, sleepily. ' 'Bear ye one Realises burd- ens..

But this time Joe was fast asleep and only answered by a enore ; so Ned lay thinking a few minutes longer, and thou dropped asleep himself. The nest morning he woke bright and early. He had not forgotten his good resolution, and when he said his morning prayer he asked God to help him to be one of His little burden-bearere that dey.

"I'll stay and help you, mamma," he said, bravely, It was not .rally work, for Katie wae teething, and the day was very warm ; but Ned did his best, and succeeded pretty well on the whole. At last mamma finished her work and took the baby from his aohing arms. "Have I been a real burden•boar- er to day, mamma ?" be asked, wistfully. Mamma looked puzzled. "What do you mean, dear ?" she asked. "Why, mamma, the minister said that everybody ought to carry their own burdens -troubles, you know -and then they ought to help other people bear their burdens too. Be said even boys could do it ; but I haven't any burdens of my own to carry, not one, so I'm trying to help other people." 'fears carne into mamma's tired eyes, and she said : "Yes, Neddie, you have been mamma's little burd- en bearer to day." Ned didn t see the tears, and he felt so very happy that he forgot how tired he was. By this time school was over, and he went with AO approving consoience for an hotars's play with the other boys.
