THE BEE.

I LOVE to see
The busy bee,

I love to watch the hive;
When the sun's hot

They linger not,

It makes them all alive.

We see their skill,

How with good-will

They do their work attend;

Each little cell

Is shaped so well

That none their work can mend.

Now in, now out,
They move about,
Yet all in order true;
Each seems to know

Both where to go

And what it has to do.

'Midst summer heat,
The honey sweet

It gathers while it may,
In tiny drops,

And never stops

To waste its time in play.

I hear it come

I know its hum,

It flies from flower to flower;

And to its store

A little more

It adds each day and hour.

Just so should I

My heart apply,

My proper work to mind;

Look for some sweet

In all I meet,

And store up all I find.

ANONYMOUS.

EVENING PRAYER.

ERE on my bed my limbs I lay,
God grant me grace my prayers to

say.

O Lord, preserve my mother dear,
In health and strength for many a year.
