for wliicli the good God cannot be enough

But this poor >yoman and child were not
altogether like thousands who stygouhded
them, as I shalLsh'ow you in the course of
my. little story. For 'the mother -was ex
ceeding goodly, and the child wasjeVpepd-

{t is true that there wgl# $%}ols and
academies thgrp, and great colleges, time-
jtj'qqqrpil an^VqfiAvgnpwned; but somehow
jhe people were no better, hut on the con
trary rgfher worse, for all these blessings.
Whether they negfepjfid gqocj, op gqocf
neglected them, is not for us to inquire
now; but certain it is that the greater
part of them grew . up iu ignorance and
vice. Now, they need not have grown up
jn vice, unje^ fjjey had preferred it tq
yjrtue; [hq»gll jDpy fc
gaped a life of igs.QTOfjce ; jRgfg vere

getic in picturing the misery of siuners;
but in spite of all they could say and do,
they preached to thin and careless congre-
gatioi'pi; gongecpience of which, rnajiy of
their salaries were unpaid frgip. one fgap’j
end to an other.
Must of the men spent their Sabbaths in
rcl^Qjj'fiRntins ; most ofthe
she had gathered to iier bosom in peace.
By and by, little Agnes began Vo grow
drowsy, anifin ^pi[e uf q.il she could do }q
keep awake, she found her eyes closing,
and her head nodding on her breast; so
she repeated the'prqy’jir |{}at her good moth:
or had taught her to say‘ before sq}f l ? to
bed, and committed herself to the" care of
her heavenly Father, and iu a moment was
MSite attd walking jn a dream ^Hh

In the meantime, the good vicar finished
his exhortation, and the people having de-
{ aptpd, ]jc began to wonder at T}grabsonee,
n^. searched Toy her do^-n the pathWhich
he remembered to have seen her take.—
Looking right arid left among the grave
stones, and calling “Agnes,” with a sweet,
low voice, L; came to the spot vhere she
had fttllen-asleep. S}}e glegpiag still,
and Ijgside her stood a little lamb, innocent;
and beautiful. Its fleece was whiter than
[he driyen snow, t}t}fl it glistened in the
sunljght like gold, T{}eri was a golden
collar aroupd its neck, with, an in|eripfciqn
jn an unkngwn tongue ; and i[s eyes mere
exceeding tender and beautiful. There
were no folds in lhat country and how it
could have come there was a mysfgpy’ which
the vicar could not explain j nor could the
child when she awoke. She. only remem-
h(A'P(] [q Jjave fjceq it iu hep grcijm, follow

As the vicar stood lost jn amazement, it
drew near him, and looked up in his face

toqchod with pity, and ha lifted her up in
his arms, an d'hote ter to tlie vmqiage.
It was not long before the news spread
through the neighboring towns, and many

stone’s thyow from the door, was sufficient

visit'the chapel unless carried thither,
which was a soui'ce of great grief to all the
villagers.
Day by day she grew more lovely and
feeble,aiid the lamb grew more fond of her;
they could not for i moment sepa.rate.them.

ood Christians should, and lived up to the
precepts of tlje jrqi\d Bqok } as ajl good
Cfiristians do; among wfom was the moth
er aud child that I began to tell you
afout.
An;} nojt only did the good woman go
to church on the Sabbath, and ; on a}l tfo
appointed holidays and feasts, but she en-
deaypred to make her life a perpetual Sab
bath unto the Lord. But the child, be
cause she was of tender age, cq.ujd Bop al

must always clasp her hands, aud kneel
down in the pew, when the vicar did the
same in his little pulpit. J}ut she was a
good cbifd fqr all tlm," as the story' will
show, and she loved her mother an
aq4 jst the far blue sky shining [hrough
O'e lattice, and its glance seemed to say,
Heaven is waiting for il}4g l|[f!g 4'lP
earth, and it must soon go.
Autumn came at last, and the child was
dying. It was morning, and she lay 011
her couch with half the .village around
he}’, : Her eyes were fixed upon the sky,
arid her arms were entwined ahogt the
Iamb, who lay with its head against her
bosom. ’ The vicar knelt down and prayed.
He could not bear to ' lose the light of
his houschqjd, .thoqgj} HgTipeW that [he
gngels forff^aiting for .her on the thresh
old of heaven. AYhe}} he ^rose she slept.
Ages haVe passed suice then, and she still
sleeps, and will sleep till the heaven and
earth shall have passed away. The next
day Was the Sabbath, and they bore her
to the little churchyard where her mother
was buried; Their, graves were dug side
by'side.' All the children and maidens,
fLressed-iq white, fpjlowed her bier; and
halt’ ti}e nfotfors |q j!f}S vil}age wept as |f
she 'had been • their own child; and the
lamb looking whiter than, ever, walked in
their midst. Blit when the services were
over, aucf tflo. ooflin lowerq^ }ri[q the grave,
it looked once at the fat qlue sky, and
but all watched jt'with b*req[hless atten
tion until, it disappeared among J, he grave
stones. Some or the boldest'arid the vicar
among the rest, followed to where it seem
ed tp disappear, but could find no further

for it; but cy«;ry body‘believed it to, have
been a miracle, manifested for their salva
tion, notwithstanding a wise philosopher
who wrote a large iolio volume to prove
that it never existed at all. Its memory
is still preserved with veneration in that
country.; and frpm that dgy }o }}iis, the
people have continued godly and pious.
And so ends the story of the White
Lamb.

Lamb?” jg'quired Bess, who always want
