A DYING GIRL'S INVESTMENT.

A LITTLE girl was lying sick, nigh unto death. Beside the bed her father was watching and weeping. “How much do I cost you, papa, every year?” asked the dying child. Again and again she asked the question, until the father named a certain sum. “Why do you ask this?” he said. “Because,” said the dear child, “I thought may be you would lay that amount out this year in Bibles for poor children to remember me by.” With heart swelling with feeling, the father kissed the cold brow, and replied, “I will, my child;” and then; after a pause, he added: “I will do it every year, that you may draw others after you to heaven.”—Selected.
