the peace uud p.‘st of sunset wore

'dimi .of heaycp; it'mugt he a lovely
country, from what tho old - limn
so id. Our Fnthor’s Kingdom he
called it,—yes; purs, that is what
ho said,* Wliy did you never toll

Be gontlo, patient; grateful, for
giving,'and .good. Know ye not,
little children, that it is your
Father's good pleasure to give yuii
the kingdotii?' “I thought ' that
meant mo, for ho wont on to say:
‘There sre treasurer in the hoav-
eps I hat open for the asking; the
key timt iinlupksjiieni is prayer.’
I said to myteVf: -‘ After tin's, fui
bound to pray for the thin
arc of no accouut; for such a long
time ot happiness is coming by
ttud-by., it is go strango you
never told me any of these things;
a boy with such u Father as that
can never feel poor, you 1 know:
that would bo impossible. VVe
wept when wo beared the preacher

kind. After mooting, ho gjwke to
me and asked my uiniie. ‘Chur-
Jte‘8now,’ I answered. Remem

have him for your fiiend/"i said
i wanted to, but did no| know
how. Read your hibie, pray tor

tome. I am trying cvry duy to
(to as the preacher told me. You
say I am a better’l>oy thnn I was
—more patient and industrious.
These lessons have madu me so.
The ‘batter Way,’ dour mother, is
to do all we can, praying, and
trusting in the Lord.
“But I have not yet told you
for what I nm pfiying. Cntiily
and calves 1 like, ot course,—what
boy does i o'?—but- I don’t tool

You wouldn’t think thoBO rough

tho roughest-man iu the lot stoop

Three weeks nioro went by, and
opeeveuing Jack Bullet came into
•l ie White's dieam ulivouiid well,
lie stood on the little square in the
centre ot tho town, and he said
not a word till'the wondering nr n

he chokingly said:

Graves went down on his knees
again, every man with him, and
there wore mo. e tears,and a prayer
so beautiful,ami tender, ami true,
tliat Jack Bullet sobbed like a
o.iiid. His heart was broken, and
ail the Satan in his nature was
driven out in a mom-nt.
Joe White’s dream was a min
ing camp for'raauy months after
tliut, auu Jack Bullet was one oi
tho best men in it. The lioad-
bourd grew gray as the rain beat
down mid the sun shone, uiul the
wild rqse-grew until it covered the
grave, but uoione disturbed-a god.
The grave was a sign—a boutwu-

ners were right when they said ot
our town:
