Tho mother drew back the curtain and told littlo Fanny to lookout at tho sky. \Yes she said, \thoso bright oolored clouds, aud thoso others that look liko bods of roses, and that shining white ono—how boautiful and bright thoy all lie together, »nd abovo them is a great dark purplo ono with silver edges. Is it not vory boautiful?\ \Yes mother.\ \And what mnkes them beautiful?\ \I do not know.\ \It is the brightness of tho sun which you can not see, because ho is sunk down in the sky; you do not sco tho sun, but you see how beautiful he makes the clouds, and you know that ho is brighter than they aro. So you •can not seo God, but you seo a groat many bright and lovely things that he has made, and you know that ho is moro bright and lovoly than any of thorn.\ Then Fanny's mother's took a fair whito lily from tho vaso and hade her look at tho leaves; seo how they are all raado of littlo bright shining grains. \Yes said Fanny, \thoy look llko littlo white grains of snow, and how sweet It is. \Still mother, you do cot toll mo how ho looks?\ \Do you remember, Fanny, now beautiful you thought tho moon was tho other night •when you saw her looking into your win dow?\ •'Oh yes, mamma, but docs God look like the moon?\ \No. my child. God is far more beautiful than the moon! \Does he look liko tho bluo sky when it Is full of stars, mother?\ \No dear child, God is moro beautiful than theclear sky and the stars.\ \Oh mother, I saw a rainbow tho other day, it was tho mcst boautiful tiling I over saw. Does God look liko tho rainbow?\ •'No, my dear child, God is far moro beauti ful than the rainbow, a thousand times moro beautiful.\ \Mother our garden is full of flowers, are there any of them as beautiful as God Ig V Oh mother, somo of our flowers arc verj beautiful.\ \No my child, God is more beautiful thau -all the flowers you over saw.\ '•Mother, I want to see God,\ said little Fanny; \will luiyluxly ever sou him?\ \See hero,\ ie|iied her mother, opening the Testament, \what our dear Saviour says:' \Blessed are the pure in keai t, for thev shall ttv Goil.\ \Mother am I pure in heart?\ \So replied her mother, \you aro not and 1 am not.\ \And shall we never see God, then,mothor, —ean't we grow to be pure?\ \Dear child,\ said her mothor, \our kind Saviour left his heavenly homo and came to live in our world, to make us puro in heart, that we might seo God, and all thoso who love and trust in him are made puro, so that they ean see him \ \How does he make us puro?\ \By loving us, and teaching us to love him, till wo learn to lovo all that ho loves, and to hato all that he hates, and then when wo die ho takes us to his own beautiful home, and thore wo aro never tempted to sin any more.\ \Oh Jesus,\ sntd tho littlo girl earnestly, \lovo ui'i * CJ , and make me pure in heart.\ Ann YOU A woNDnn?

(1's. l.xxi, 1) \I am as a wonder unto many ' The prophets and oious mon of old were \men wandered at.\ Men beheld their pa tience under afflictions, their perseverance amid difllculties, their zeal in seasons of de clension, their constancy and fortitude under persecution, their blamelc6sncss in life, nnd their holy joy in death, and wondered at them. John tho Baptist was wondered at—the Lord of life and glory in his walks of humil iation and suffering, and reproach and death, was wondered at —the disciplo of Gamaliol condescending to unlto wich tho followers of the Nazarenc. and devoting his talents to the promulgation • f I he doctrines of ono who suffered an igimn inous death In Jerusalem was often wondered at. Such was Hi nr> .Martyn, and Harriet New ell, In modern time* havo been wonderod at. —Any one, Indeed, who cordially embraces the do'trino of the Cross, consecrating his time, talent and influence to tho upbuilding of a kingdom \which cometh not with ob servation,\ is a nder unto many. Many who are among tho professed follow ers of Jesus, however, are not subjects oi milder Their conversation differs little from that of tho world; thoy seem as much engaged In tho pursuit of worldly aggrandize ment as any; they aro as much dovotod to vain pleasure as ever—their livos resemble that of tho multltudo around thorn. Fellow disciplo I Do men plainly discern a distinction between tho lifo which yon now live, and that boforo you becamo a Christian? And has tho distinction become so marked, that yon aro wondered at? Aro you living In tbo midst of unconvortod friends, exposed daily to annoyances and hindrances, and is your mook and quiot spirit, your holy, steady, christian lifo wondered at? If thoso who endeavor to livo godly in Christ Jesus, are a 'wonder unto many' now. It is ouly for a season; a day is coming when 'fools for Christ's sake' will bo accounted tho only wiso persons in tho world. Bejoice, then, though your nnmo bo east out us evil, for yours is tho kingdom of Heaven.

They wonder that you ohooso tho way to death; they wondeo that you dovoto your tlrno nnd your talents to the acquisition of tbnt which cannot profit; they wonder to seo you living without God r without hopo, without prayer, without par don, without Christ, without Heaven.

In their fancied zeal for God they wore disoboying the very commands ot Gods, for it is written, \Lot none of you imagine ovil against his brother in your hoart\ (Zoch. vii , 10 ; vlli., 17).

Wo do well always to consider Him that endured sueh con tradiction of sinners against Himself le3t we be wearied and faint in our minds, for not many of us have, like Paul, resisted unto blood (Heb. xlli., 3. 4). 33. \Thon tbo ohlot captain eamo near and took him nnd commanded him to be bound with two chains and doinuuled who ho was and what he had done.\ Of these bouds also ho hail beon forewarned (.verse 11 and chapter xx., 23), but these were neither his first nor hlu last chains fjr Jesus's sake (chapter xxvlll , 20 It Tim i. 16).

There is such a crylug of one thing and another by highur and lower nnd no critics, by the dif ferent denomiuations and by the posts and press that It would almost seem impossible to know the certainly ot anything, out th03e who cling to the book may know and will know if they only tako God at His word (Isa. ,vili., 20 R.

Its truly wonderful characteristic Is its lumlnosliy, which is so great that on tho darkest night it can bo plainly Feen a mile away. A person stand ing near could read tho finest print by its light. The luminous property is due to a gummy substance, which can be transferred to the hand by rubbing, together with the phosphor escent light, while that on the leaf disappears.
