To Entertain a Sick Child.

A little sick child will play for an lour with a email hand mirror, and a ttack of bright picture cards Is a posiive boon. Never throw away a pieure card; put them in a box and they vlll come in use some day, If not for rour own children, for those of sometody else. Half the pleasure in living •omes from being able to be of service o others. It gives a glow to the heart hat nothing else on earth will bring. Those who live for self alone, without bought for others, are the crusty old •urmudgeons who go out of life unrejretted, their place considered better han their company. To bring a smile :o a little child’s face, a laugh Into its eart, ought to be the height of happi less, but we don’t often think of it hat way. “Even to the least of these,” me wiser than we once said, and Im •vbo carries in his heart the lov .or a ehild has gone far on the road to a Vr er life.—Washington Stay.
