"I'apa." she demanded, "if nobody told von, what would vou call this" She held the Bomething before him. It was a black ret ret bonnet, daintily and exquisitely mad.-. There ama pretty bow of hue and satin in the front, and a little at one side drooped a lovely purple flower. There were wide, rich, black satin strinps to pive it a last and ; erfed touch. i'apa looked at it critically baton he sjioke, then he smiled. "Bleaa m soul!" he cried, "if it isn't a bonnet, and Ihe very prettiest one I've seen thia long time. An old lady's bonnet, isn't it, my dear. It must be, for it looks a good deal like the aaa mother BSed to wear." It is a pood deal like it." said Daffy well pleased. "Where did you get it, dear'.'" "Made it, papa." I'apa stared. Hitherto he had regarded his gay, bripht pirl as something Of a butterfly, beautiful to look at. but Incapable somehow of producing anything half so sensible and useful. Baeiag his interest. Daffy, without further preface, seated herself on his knee and told him all about it. "Listen, papa," she began. "I y ou know 1 was feeling blue this nioritinp." I'apa pinched the rosy cheek and hattgkedu "W. U. I wis. and I went over to Kate's for sympathy. I was bemoaning the fate that I couldnt play, or 'ing, or paint, as she does, when she put this idea into say head. You know I always make my own hats. I love to, some way. ami can always suit myself better than the linet madams anywhere in tlx city. W.U. Knt cheered me up by saying it was almost as preat a pift to create a bonnet as it was to paint a pietore. In't that just like the bar pirl? Then she finished by enll.np my attention to old Mrs. Fiske's bonnet.'" "Old Mr. Fiske's bonnet ?" repeated papa. "Ihe oh lady who Jhcs down by the church and who is so very poor?" Daffy BOOdedL "The same," she an swered. "Well, her old bonnet is m arly fallingto pieces." she went on. "and Kate put the thonght in my heart to make her a new one. So I came home in a hurry and have worked steadily all the morning. Behold the result." "And a very pretty result, I am sure." said papa, touched in spite of himself. "So you're going to present it to her. are you? Well, be careful to do it gracefully, and if you need any capital to carry on this missionary enterprise, come to your father. I'm not sure but that it's a real Christion one, tin.," Went On papa thought fully, "for many a g I sermon has fallen on Stony ground because of a siinnoy nar or Honnef. 1 In- wearer i i t . , . never forgets it, if the minister does.

When she had put the few dishes away into the ld wooden cupboard. the tirst thing she did was to go into the next room. There as a closet in it, and she went to ;t and took from it an old, dilapidated bandbox. Shi: lifted the lid md drew from it S bonnet, a lettered, attngy, black bonnet, with rusty, worn strings. As she looked at it, her old eyes filled with tears. "Yes," she whispered, "it does look had. dreadfully bad. I I won't wear it any more.

Daffy aooded; then sosnathhsg in the sweet, old. wrinkled face moved her to confidence and she told her all about it, how she had sorrow.-.l over lack of cifts and how CottSM Kate had helped In-r. "You dear child." said Mrs. Kiske, when she had finished. "You dear, good child. Why, don't you see." she went on, "that yon! doing the Lord's work just the same as the minister and the missionaries? I'll prove it to you." Then she tokt Daffy all about the Shabby bonnet and how she had determined never to wear it any more. "And if it hadn't been for you. Misa DatTy." sin- concluded, "why, I'd hae had to sit at h .nie m-xt Sunday instead of Bat en lag to the minister! prand. good sermon When you reach my age, and haw served God all your life, to miss the Sunday morning worship means something, my dear. I won t thank you. I can t, but the Lord '11 bless you richly. Miss Daffy, dear." It was the next Sunday morning. It had been a busy week and, ,-is it happened. DatTy had riot Been Cousin Kate since that Monday nmrning. Hut as Daffy walked up the uisle she saw Kate already in her pCW. Just in fr-mt of them sat Mrs. Fiske. The white hair shone like siher. and oil it ranted the hew bonnet in all its fresh and dainty loveliness. The old face beneath it looked almost handsome. She saw DatTy and nodded happily. A group of pirls came in directly afterward. "Mrs. l iske's got a BOW bonnet," one of them said in a shrill whisper. "My, ain't it beautiful, thOGghl I wonder now what she's done with her Noah's ark?" Daffy blushed for them, so did Cousin Kate, as she reached o-r and pressed tke little hand, it was a pood sermon that morning, strong, tine, helpful, and as Mrs. Flake listened) she was ghsd that in the hard week iM-fore h'-r. she had the thoughts f it to help her through. And as she drank il in. h.-r old heart swelled With gratitude to the slender, dark-eyed pirl in the pen near-by who had worked to bring it about. "D- ar Lord, bless her." she whispered softly, "ami keep her. and bo good to h.-r. for Jctna's sake." As tln-y walked home. Cousin Kate took Daffy's arm. "The bonnet is beautiful dear." she said in her sweet, grave voice. "Was I not right? I still think the little girl who can contrive such Hagle out of ten slender Bngera and send it out upon this trouble-filled world to perform its mission is every bit as great and useful ns the artist, the painter, or the writer. I couldn't help but look at Mr-. Kiske's face through the sermon, it preached ajsasnnge too, I'm proud Ol you, DatTy aear. "Keally?" said Daffy humbly. "Ileally; and now that yon have found your talent, you won't hide it in a napkin, will you. dear'.''' Daffy laughed. "No fear f that." sin- answered. " The nanufacture of Bslssionary hats is to go on. I'apa will furnish the capital. I the labor. You needn't he afraid. 1 h.nen't found my talent, after all my discouragement, to hide it either in a napkin or a bandbox," she added, with a happy little lauph. -Young IVople. GUARDED BY FLOWERS.

T he frogs of the second plague were loathsome and noisy; the pnats or mosquitoes (rather iban "lies'") of the third plague were annoying on account of their stinp; the flies of the fourth came in immense swarms, so that they interfered with health as Well as with c mfort. The fifth p'a; n- was an epidemic among cattle, which destroyed many of the beasts; while the lxiils of the sixth plague broke out upon both man and beast, and may have been some eruptive disease re.-embling smallpox in tome of its symptoms, thouph it is BOt lescribed as very daagerons to life. The t w o plapues following injured the sericulture which Is Egypt's chief reliance. The hail was destructive to cattle and early crops, while the locusts completed the work of destruction. The darkness may have been dt.e to a stronp wind bringing up a dusty cloud from the desert. Such tonus are not unknown in Egypt. The plagues were sent to show U .it Jehovafa is preater than all the poJe at Eg3 P? 1 ,2: H) The Last Warning (Ex. 11:1-10),

The last warning to Pharaoh was gi-.en by Moses under God's asurtrice that the end was at hand. The jewels hieh the Hebrews were to get were not to be "borrowed." in our modern sense of the word, but asked for. The gifts w ould only partly make up for the years passed by the I lehr, w -in hard labor without pay. In spite of Mos. s' declaration to Pharaoh in 10:C9, he s i ms to have taken to him warning of the last plague. Oriental families pive more distinction to the oldest son than is pommim in America, not only in the distribution of property, but also by way of love and honor. The plapue. touching all classes of society, and ev n cattle, was therefore the most terrible that could be conceived. Moses "hot anger" against Pharaoh was just Ifled, ss was the similar wrath of J.viis apainst the Pharisees (Matt. 23). by Ion? and obstinate opposition to the mesagea of God. In verse 10 occurs that Standing purzle, the wordsr "The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart." To tho Hebrew writer, to whom everything that happened w as an act of (bid. t In w i.rds are precisely similar to the words: "Pharaoh hardened his heart."
