One thing, however poor you are, you can give your children; and that is, your prayers : and they are, if real and humble, worth more than silver or gold, more than food and clothes, and have often brought irom our Father who is in heaven and hears our prayers, both money and meat and clothes, and all worldly *good things. And there is one thing you can always teach your child : you may not know the names of the stares or their geography, and may therefore not be able to tell him how far you are from the sun, or how big the moon is, nor able to tell him the way to Jerusalem or Australia, but you may always be able to tell him who made the stars, and numbered them, and you may tell him the road to heaven. You may always teach hina to pray. When you see the little curly heads on their pillows sound asleep, pour out a blessing on them, and ask our Saviour to make them His, and never forget that they came from God and are going back to Him, and let the light of eternity fall upon them as they lie asleep; and may you resolve to dedicate them and yourselves to Him who died for them and for us all, who was once Himself a little child r and sucked the breasts of a woman, who said that awful saying: " Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." gT.

The sage bramin now attained his desire; and, in the course of his instructions, took seasonable occasions.to point out the dependence of the king on the pawns, and other seasonable truths; the prince, born with genius, and capable of virtuous sentiments in dispite of the maxims of courtiers, applied to himself the morality which the game so strongly exhibited, and, reforming his conduct, his people soon became happy* The prince, eager to recompense the bramin for the great good derived from his ingenuity, required him to demand what he thought cornpet ent. The bramin asked only a gift of corn, the amount of which should, be regulated by the nnmber of heuses (or squares) on the chessboard, putting one grain on the first house, two on the seconcf, four on the third, and so on in double permutation to the sixty-fourth house- The apparent moderation of the demand, astonished the king, and ho unhesitatingly granted it; but, when his treasurers had calculated the amount of the donation, they found that the king's revenues were not competent to discharge it; for the corn of sixteen thousand three hundred and eighty-four towns,'each containing one thousand and twenty-four granaries, of one hundred and seventy-three thousand seven hundred and sixty-two measures each, and each measure to consist of thirty-two thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight grains could alone answer the demand.

And there is one thing you can always teach your child : you may not know the names of the stares or their geography, and may therefore not be able to tell him how far you are from the sun, or how big the moon is, nor able to tell him the way to Jerusalem or Australia, but you may always be able to tell him who made the stars, and numbered them, and you may tell him the road to heaven. You may always teach hina to pray. When you see the little curly heads on their pillows sound asleep, pour out a blessing on them, and ask our Saviour to make them His, and never forget that they came from God and are going back to Him, and let the light of eternity fall upon them as they lie asleep; and may you resolve to dedicate them and yourselves to Him who died for them and for us all, who was once Himself a little child r and sucked the breasts of a woman, who said that awful saying: " Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." gT.

The sage bramin now attained his desire; and, in the course of his instructions, took seasonable occasions.to point out the dependence of the king on the pawns, and other seasonable truths; the prince, born with genius, and capable of virtuous sentiments in dispite of the maxims of courtiers, applied to himself the morality which the game so strongly exhibited, and, reforming his conduct, his people soon became happy* The prince, eager to recompense the bramin for the great good derived from his ingenuity, required him to demand what he thought cornpet ent. The bramin asked only a gift of corn, the amount of which should, be regulated by the nnmber of heuses (or squares) on the chessboard, putting one grain on the first house, two on the seconcf, four on the third, and so on in double permutation to the sixty-fourth house- The apparent moderation of the demand, astonished the king, and ho unhesitatingly granted it; but, when his treasurers had calculated the amount of the donation, they found that the king's revenues were not competent to discharge it; for the corn of sixteen thousand three hundred and eighty-four towns,'each containing one thousand and twenty-four granaries, of one hundred and seventy-three thousand seven hundred and sixty-two measures each, and each measure to consist of thirty-two thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight grains could alone answer the demand.
