The Boy's Watchword;

Or, The Story of the Old Back Room

8/6 “An excellent story, and full of beautiful teaching."- Athenaum.

"Let's sing Pres' favorite ; maybe he's thinking about it now."

So they sang “We are out on the ocean, sailing," and went through it bravely, though mother's voice failed entirely there. Something in the words, and in the lively tune connected with them, had always pleased Preston, and he had generally chosen to sing it, at such times.

And, after the singing, when they said their good-nights, and separated, I think not one of them, even little Will, forgot to kneel and pray for Pres, to the great Ruler of the ocean, that he might be kept in safety through all perils, and brought home to them again. And I know that He who holds the waters in the hollow of His hand listened to the prayers, for He is a gracious and merciful God.

Sydney lingered in mother's room after the other boys had gone. “Mother," said he, "wouldn't it be better for me to stay at home with you now? It seems lonelier than ever, now that Pres is gone, and I think perhaps I had better not go away."

"Thank you, for being so thoughtful, my boy; but I do not think we ought to keep you at home. We shall try to be brave and cheerful, and it will not be long before your term will close. Then, too, we shall hope to hear something from father, soon, and that will help us. No, go on with your studies, and be my faithful, brave son. And, Sydney,"

"Yes, mother." “Remember, the waves of temptation will come to you all, as they came to Preston.

Oh, take the strong Saviour in to help you !"

He could scarcely keep back the tears, at her earnest entreaty, and his lip quivered a little as he answered, “Yes, mother, I'll remember."-From " The Boy's Watchword," page 183, cloth, 3s. 6d.

“ Halloa ! what's up?” asked Hugh.

“ Did you ever see a fel. low in such a mess?” said Dick, laughing as usual, in spite of his dismay. “What are we to do?" “ What's your name,

little boy?” said Hugh, by way of a beginning.

“Don't know," said the child. “I want to go home. Oh, I want to go home.'

“That's promising, certainly,” said Hugh.“ Ella, you try what you can make of him.”—From Ella's Half Sovereign,page 15.
