LITTLE ONES AT HOME.

      

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Who showed the little ant the way
Her narrow hole to bore,

And spend the pleasant summer day
In laying up her store?

The sparrow builds her clever nest
Of wool and hay and moss )

Who told her how to weave it best,
And lay the twigs across?

Who taught the busy bee to fly
Among the sweetest flowers,

And lay his feast of honey by,
To eat in winter hours?

'T was God who showed them all the way,
And gave their little skill ;

And teaches children, if they pray,
To do his holy will.

GOD’S CARE FOR THE YOUNG.

Isaac was ransomed while he lay
Upon the altar bound ;

Moses, an infant, cast away,
Pharaoh’s own daughter found.

Joseph, by his false brethren sold,
God raised above them all ;

To Hannah’s child the Lord foretold

How Eli’s house must fall.
