WHICH LOVED BEST.

"Children, obey your parents in the Lord; for this is right. Honor thy father and thy mother; which is the first commandment with promise, that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth." Eph. 6:1-3.
"I love you, mother," said little John; Then forgetting his work, his cap went on, And he was off to the garden swing, And left her the water and wood to bring.
"I love you, mother," said Rosy Nell, "I love you better than tongue can tell;" Then she teased and pouted full half a day, Till her mother rejoiced when she went to play.
"I love you, mother," said little Fan, "To-day I will help you all I can; How glad I am school doesn't keep!" So she rocked the baby till it fell asleep.
Then stepping softly, she brought the broom And swept the floor, and tidied the room; Busy and happy all day was she, Helpful and happy as child could be.
"I love you, mother," again they said— Three little children going to bed. How do you think that mother guessed Which of the little ones loved her best ?
