So we may feel as we go blindly through the rough paths of life, we only hold "tightly to our Father's hand.” Our trouble is. we do not close our eyes and give ourselves up entirely to God’s guid ance; we are apt to "peep” now and then, and think we can help the Lord; then we weaken our clasp and we are sure to stumble. Like the little child, let us close, our eyes, be entirely blind to all outward circumstances, and take a tight hold of the hand that we may’ rest as sured will "take us safely over the bard places."

Mrs. Watkins was afflicted with anaemia, a disease in which the blood becomes so defleienf aS to bo Unable to furnish the tissues of the body with necessary nour ishment. Every organ is starved and the patient becomes white and waxen in appearance. If this condition is not quickly remedied it runs into persistent anaemia, one of the most hopeless of diseases. In Mrs. Watkins' case, as usually happens, the character of the disease was not discovered until it was Well advanced. She says; "If I happened to scratch or cut my self no blood would flow—just a watery looking fluid. I was shockingly thin, as white as a sheet and without a bit of strength. Three doctors attended TU" and •all said 1 doiild not live three months. I had no appetite, my heart was weak, sleep did not rest nr- and 1 became despondent.

I have a box 2 by 2 feet square tilled with very rich dirt; In this 1 planted a begonia in early spring. When the plant was I foot high the chickens (or a chicken) ate every leaf from the phant. We thought the plant was ruined, but it put out new leaves and has now about twenty stems or stalks; these are from 2 to 4 feet high; on each stalk Is a cluster of flowers, cream, slightly tinged pink, is magnificent and a splendid bloom er. This box gets the morning sun; after 10 o'clock il is in the shade. I have been asked is this a fine flower. T suppose not, on account of its being so easy kept.
