The woman always '<ept the money in her trunk. One me Sunday evening they went to Sunday school. As they passed by i house of their neighbor’s not far from home a little boy about elev en years of age was standing in he door. When he saw them pass he knew that they were going to Sunday school, and would not be hack till about night. He was a mischievous little fellow and al ways wanted to do something mean. The boy had heard that the nan had just got the money for his cotton, so he decided to get some of it. He set out down the ane that led to the woods. As soon is he reached the woods he set out lown by the edge of them. After le had walked his journey, he went 1 ip from the back of the field and vent in at the back window. The irst thing he went for was the noney. As be come to the trunk ooking for it, he found it right in he very bottom. In hunting for he money he came across some eautiful pictures. He saw one of he ten commandments “Thou shalt iot steal.” This he looked at carc ully. His heart began to throb be. ause he knew he had been steal ng. He went on out of the house ind his heart beat harder, and his onscienc<* hurting him so that he sat down on a stump for about ten ninutes, thinking whether to carry ^he money away or not. In a few ninutes he burst into tears. He 'arried the money into the house ind went home. Since that time has never stolen anything from anybody.

He was just nine months and three days old and was so fair and sweet, kissed mother three times before closing his little eyes for sleep, and awoke in the Great Be yond. Oh, how sad to awake in the morning and find the little one’s kisses were for the last time, but He that doeth all things well knew best and we must bow in humble submission to his will for the one that said, “suffer the little ones to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the king dom of heaven,” also said, “Be ye also ready for in such an hour as ye think not the son of man cora eth.” Oh, to be robed and ready as little Hobson was.
