Two Kittsa or linens.-—A little boy sat by his mother. lie looked long at the Ito. and was silent. 'l‘liha. as the deep thought began to pass away, his a e grew bright. and he said.

c

‘" Mother. wish I was rt h.”

" Why do you wish to be rich, my soul"

The child said. “ Because every one praises the rich. Every one inquires alter the rich. The stronger at our table yesterday asked ‘ who was the richest man in the village.’ At school there is a boy who does not love to loan. pains to say his lessons well. Sometimes he speaks evil words. But the children don't blame him. for they say he is a wealthy boy."

Th» mother saw that her child was in danger of believing wesltlt miubt take the place of good- ness, or be an excuse for indeloncs. or sense them to be held in honour who lead unworthy lives. So alts asked him, " What is it to be rich!"

And he answrrsd, “ I do not know. Yet tell me how I may become rich, that all may ask after me. and praise mo !"

The mother replied, “To become rich is to get money. For this you must wait until you are a

on.

Then the boy looked sorrowful sttd said,

“ is there not some other way of being rich, that 1 may begin ii iw?"

She answeiod. thq gsinllof monoybis not tpe only nor the true wca th. ire-s may urn it,t a fiootis drown it, the winds sweep it away, moth and rust waste it. and the robber make it his prey.

There is another kind of riches, which are not kept in the purse, but in tho heart. Those who possess them are not always praised by men, but the ha!r|e”ths praise o'l'Gotlh."

hen sai tls boy “ sy gin to get or t is kind of richtis now; or must] wait till I grow up, and am a man 3,

The mother lsid_her hand‘ upon his little head,

and ssid,“T0-day, if you will hear, His voice: ‘mg

for He hath promised that those who seskjsarly shall find."

And the child said, “ Teach me how I may be- come rich before God."

Then she looked tenderly on him and said, “ Kneel down every night and morning. and ask that you mgay ltive tho dear Saviourfand trust in him. Obey his word, and strive all the days of your life to be good, and to do good to all. So, though you nisy be poor in this world. you shall be ugh in faith, and heir of the kingdom of has- Well.

FALL OI’ ROCKS AT NIACABA.

Some one at Niagara Falls writes as follows, in a letter to the yak Courier:

" it was my got fortune to witness, one day last week, a sight such as is not el'ton sass, being the do-esnt of an immense mass of solid rock into the river below. On the point where we were at work (upon the Lewistown Railroad) a monster rock, weitrhing, as near as loan calculate, about two hundred tons, pro’ tod out from the perpen- dicular ledge on w in we were at work. with seemingly no support under it. but held only by the earth. roots, h.c., on top, and connecting it with the main bank.

'0 On ramming this earth. a aim was discover- ed. soul the rock began to manifest sigt-e of ones- sincsa, feeling, as much as a r antll feel, evi- dent agitation at the prnspsctheforo it. The seats gradually opened, little patches of earth disse- gsged th lv , the word was soon that the big rock was about to take a leap into the foaming cauldron below. Quite a cuoeostm of visitors gathered on the bank above. and the men ran from their work, some in first and trem-
