THE LITTLE GIRL’S GOOD MORNING.

”’T is morning, bright morning! Good morning, [)apa< 
Oh! eivc me one kiss fur good morning, mama!

The sunshine is peeping straight into my ryes — 
Good morning to you, Wr. Sun — for you rise 
Early, to w.akc up my birdie ami me.

‘•Yes, little darling one, surely you m.ay — 
Kneel .13 you kneel every morning to pray !” 
Mary knelt solemnly down, with her eyes 
Looking up earnestly into the skies ; 
And two little hands that we e folded together, 
Softly she laid on the lap of I er mother. 
“Good ntortiing, dear Father in Heaven,” she said ; 
“ I tl.ank thee for watching rny snug little bed ; 
For ta.king good care of me all the dark night, 
And waking me up with the beautiful light! 
OIl keep me from uaughtiness all the long day.

An angel looked down in the sunshine, and smiled. 
But she saw not the angel, that beautiful child!
