JOHN'S EXHIBITION.

"JOHN, think you you shall get to see
This EXHIBITION grand?

Go where I will, I find it is

The talk throughout the land."

"I have no doubt," said John, "but 'tis
A famous sight to see;

Yet, I have an Exhibition here
With more variety.

Oh, 'tis of priceless worth!"
He in his bosom placed his hand,
And drew THE BIBLE forth.

THE LITTLE MARTYR.

DURING the sad winter of 1816-1817, a time o famine in almost the whole of Europe, a little boy, named Joseph, called one evening at a lone farmhouse, to ask if he might lodge there for the night. He was pale and thin; his eyes were hollow; and Cold as i' any one might see how hungry he was.

As he entered the farm-yard, a great dog barked loudly, and rushed from his kennel, and would have hurt the little stranger, but that it was chained. Joseph drew back in fear; but seeing the dog was chained, he took courage, and stepped carefully into the yard.

From her own supper she took another, and bringing both to the cold and hungry boy, she spoke tenderly, and led him to a warm corner of the stable, and gave him a fresh bundle of straw to lie upon.

Left all alone in the dark, warm stable, Joseph's first act was to knell down to pray, and thank God for the kindness he had just received. After prayer, he ate his two potatoes, and soon fell asleep.

"But who was Joseph ? and whence had he come?" He was the child of a poor weaver, who lived at Graubündten, in Switzerland. This honest man had worked hard for his family, and brought it up in the fear of God. His wife was a gracious, Godfearing woman, and a kind, faithful mother to her children. Joseph clung to her with all his heart. She had nursed him tenderly. She had taught him to read, to learn passages from the Bible, and to repeat hymns; and she had often spoken to him of the Lord Jesus Christ. God had blessed these instructions to Joseph, and the Saviour had become dear to his heart. Never was he so happy as when
