See how it +moves its feet—how wonderful that <span class="smcap">God</span> +should have made this little creature!"</p> + +<p><i>Father.</i> It is a little cochineal.<a name="FNanchor_A_1" id="FNanchor_A_1"></a> + <a href="#Footnote_A_1" class="fnanchor">[A]</a>—Wait; +I will bring my microscope, and +we shall see many more wonderful +things.</p> + +<p><i>Child.</i> Make haste, or it will fly +away.</p> + +<p>I put the insect between two glasses, +and thus prevented it from escaping, +without restraining it from moving its<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[Pg 2]</a></span> +limbs. To the naked eye, it did not +look at all remarkable: its back was of +a brown colour, spotted with black and +white, and the under part of its body +was gray. But no sooner had I placed +it in the focus of the microscope, than I +was filled with wonder and admiration. +The back, which before appeared unworthy +of notice, now displayed the +most perfect and beautiful appearance. +The colour, which appeared brown to +the naked eye, now presented a variety +of feathers or scales of the same size +and shape, polished, brilliant, distinct, +and arranged in far more exact order +than the tiles on the best built roof. The +ground was formed of beautiful white +scales, surrounded by a border of polished +black and blue scales of the same +description. A black line divided the +back into two equal parts.</p> + +<p>"How marvellously wise and powerful +is the <span class="smcap">Lord</span>!" exclaimed I. "Who +would believe that so many beauties, +and such a variety of exquisite workmanship, +had been bestowed on this<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[Pg 3]</a></span> +little, despicable insect? Oh, how great +is our <span class="smcap">God</span>!"</p> + +<p>The child was impatient to judge for +himself. He approached the microscope, +and gazed in silence for some moments. +At length, raising his head, and fixing +his eyes upon me with an expression of +wonder and astonishment—"Oh! papa," +exclaimed he, "is not this beautiful? +How beautiful!" repeated he, raising +his hands. "How powerful <span class="smcap">God</span> must +be to give this little insect, which attracts +so little attention, such a beautiful +coat! Did you see its scales, its neck, its +head, and its glittering horns? It looks +like glass on polished gold. How beautiful! +how beautiful!"</p> + +<p><i>Father.</i> My dear boy, since our heavenly +Father is so great, so powerful, +and so wise; since he takes such care +of this little insect which crawls upon +the ground; think how great must be his +care of his own children, whom he loved +so much as to give his well-beloved <span class="smcap">Son</span> +to die for them, that they might be saved, +from eternal death!</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[Pg 4]</a></span><i>Child.</i> Yes; our Saviour himself +says that his children 'are of more value +than many sparrows;' so they must be +of more value than this little insect: and +since it has received, and does all the +while receive from <span class="smcap">God</span>, its food and its +rich and beautiful clothing, surely the +same <span class="smcap">God</span> will feed and clothe us also! +My dear papa, are we not very happy +in having seen this insect, since it has +shown us the power and goodness of the +<span class="smcap">Lord</span>?</p> + +<p><i>Papa.</i> Yes, my dear; let us thank +<span class="smcap">God</span> for thus enlarging our views of his +goodness and infinite wisdom. How +good <span class="smcap">God</span> is, thus to fill our hearts with +confidence, to assure us of his guardian +care, and to teach us that he sees, protects, +and preserves us!</p> + +<p>I now turned the microscope, that we +might examine the cochineal on the +other side; it was equally beautiful and +perfect. The side legs, which were so +disposed as to balance the body, and +make its motions easy, were partly covered +with scales, like those on the back;<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[Pg 5]</a></span> +but they were much smaller and more +flexible. There were no scales near the +joints, and the legs were fastened to the +body with such exactness that it was +impossible to perceive the smallest defect, +even by means of the strongest lens. +Its light and delicate limbs moved with +the greatest ease, and with most astonishing +regularity.</p> + +<p>"How wonderful is even one of its +legs!" said I; "could the most skilful +artist or human mechanic imitate it, +even in the clumsiest manner? Could +the most learned man give motion and +life to this little creature?"</p> + +<p><i>Child.</i> And yet some people say +that all this is done by chance; is this +possible, papa?</p> + +<p><i>Father.</i> My dear, there is no such +thing as <i>chance</i>. <span class="smcap">God</span> made the world, +and all that it contains. He alone is the +Creator and Preserver of all. Those +that say that this insect was made by +chance, show that they have never examined +it; and thus they cannot have +seen the powerful hand of <span class="smcap">God</span>.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[Pg 6]</a></span><i>Child.</i> And what do those mean who +say that <i>nature</i> created animals and +plants?</p> + +<p><i>Father.</i> Those who speak so are +generally irreligious and ignorant persons, +who, instead of glorifying and +blessing <span class="smcap">God</span> as their Creator and Preserver, +never mention his name in their +works or conversation; and thus, instead +of saying, '<span class="smcap">God</span> made this or that,' +they say 'Nature made' such things.</p> + +<p><i>Child.</i> <span class="smcap">God</span> then made every thing?</p> + +<p><i>Father.</i> Yes, every thing, except +what is bad.</p> + +<p><i>Child.</i> This must be true: <span class="smcap">God</span> created +us, and preserves us every moment. +Yet few think of him, or speak of him. +How does this happen, papa?</p> + +<p><i>Father.</i> My dear child, our hearts are +naturally turned away from <span class="smcap">God</span>. Sin +is the cause of this sad state: it separates +our hearts from our Father and +Creator. We do not wish to own that +he preserves and takes care of us—supplies +our wants, and gives us all things +we enjoy.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[Pg 7]</a></span> + <i>Child.</i> Oh, papa! how few love <span class="smcap">God</span>, +and trust in him as they ought!</p> + +<p><i>Father.</i> The true children of <span class="smcap">God</span> +alone really love him, desire to please +him, and sincerely trust in his goodness. +Yes, my child, till we are true Christians, +till we are renewed and changed +by the <span class="smcap">Spirit of God</span>, we are like this +little insect. We receive life, motion, +food, and clothing from him, but we +seldom think of him; and we do not +even thank him for all his gifts.</p> + +<p><i>Child.</i> I think, papa, that those who +forget <span class="smcap">God</span> are not even so good as this +little insect; for it at least does nothing +wrong, while they are wicked, obstinate, +proud, and ungrateful.</p> + +<p><i>Father.</i> You are right, my dear +child. The sinner is not so good as this +insect. How thankful should we then +be that our Saviour has redeemed us +from sin, and has made us children of +<span class="smcap">God</span>, by uniting us for ever to himself?</p> + +<p><i>Child.</i> Yes, we know that <span class="smcap">God</span> is +our Father, and that he loves us. I am +sure he takes care of me, since he has<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[Pg 8]</a></span> +given his <span class="smcap">Son</span> to save me. What a good +Father! what a kind Saviour!</p> + +<p><i>Father.</i> Continue to love this good +Saviour, my dear child; and always remember +the words of St. Paul:—"He +who spared not his own Son, but gave +him up to the death for us all, shall he +not with him also freely give us all +things?" Remember the cochineal, +which is so wonderfully formed by the +<span class="smcap">Lord</span>, and seek, above all things, the +blessing of the all-wise, powerful, and +good <span class="smcap">God</span>, who never forgets you, and +who is, through <span class="smcap">Jesus Christ</span>, your +heavenly Father.</p> + +<div class="figcenter" style="width: 400px;"> + <a name="p008-illus.jpg" id="p008-illus.jpg"></a> + <img src="images/p008-illus.jpg" width="400" height="193" alt="A barking dog" title="" /> +</div> + + +<hr /> +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[Page 9]<br />[Pg 10]</a></span></p> +<h2>THE GREAT AND GOOD GOD.</h2> + +<div class="poem"> +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">How wonderful this rolling ball<br /></span> +<span class="i1">Of earth, that bears me now!<br /></span> +<span class="i0">And, O! thou mighty <span class="smcap">God</span> of all,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">How wonderful art Thou!<br /></span> +</div> +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">(And what is this vast world to thee,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">With all its sea and land?<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Just what a pebble is <i>to me</i>,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">Or e'en a grain of sand.)<br /></span> +</div> +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">And may a simple child address<br /></span> +<span class="i1">So great and high a King?<br /></span> +<span class="i0">And will he notice, will he bless<br /></span> +<span class="i1">So mean a little thing?<br /></span> +</div> +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">And may I hope his love to win,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">Before his face to stand,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">Who holds this spacious world within<br /></span> +<span class="i1">The hollow of his hand?<br /></span> +</div> +<div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">O yes! for though he is so high,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">He makes e'en worms his care;<br /></span> +<span class="i0">He will not scorn an infant's cry,<br /></span> +<span class="i1">A sinful infant's pray'r.<br /></span> +</div> +</div> + + +<hr class="hr2" /> +<div class="fn"> +<h2>Footnote</h2> +<p><a name="Footnote_A_1" id="Footnote_A_1"></a> + <a href="#FNanchor_A_1"><span class="label">[A]</span></a> Perhaps the young reader would know it better +by its more common name of <i>lady bird</i>.</p> +</div> + + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Cochineal, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE COCHINEAL *** + +***** This file should be named 37508-h.htm or 37508-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/3/7/5/0/37508/ + +Produced by Larry B.

See how +it moves its feet--how wonderful that GOD should have made this little +creature!" + +_Father._ It is a little cochineal.[A]--Wait; I will bring my +microscope, and we shall see many more wonderful things. + +_Child._ Make haste, or it will fly away. + +I put the insect between two glasses, and thus prevented it from +escaping, without restraining it from moving its limbs. To the naked +eye, it did not look at all remarkable: its back was of a brown +colour, spotted with black and white, and the under part of its body +was gray. But no sooner had I placed it in the focus of the +microscope, than I was filled with wonder and admiration. The back, +which before appeared unworthy of notice, now displayed the most +perfect and beautiful appearance. The colour, which appeared brown to +the naked eye, now presented a variety of feathers or scales of the +same size and shape, polished, brilliant, distinct, and arranged in +far more exact order than the tiles on the best built roof. The ground +was formed of beautiful white scales, surrounded by a border of +polished black and blue scales of the same description. A black line +divided the back into two equal parts. + +"How marvellously wise and powerful is the LORD!" exclaimed I. "Who +would believe that so many beauties, and such a variety of exquisite +workmanship, had been bestowed on this little, despicable insect? Oh, +how great is our GOD!" + +The child was impatient to judge for himself. He approached the +microscope, and gazed in silence for some moments. At length, raising +his head, and fixing his eyes upon me with an expression of wonder and +astonishment--"Oh! papa," exclaimed he, "is not this beautiful? How +beautiful!" repeated he, raising his hands. "How powerful GOD must be +to give this little insect, which attracts so little attention, such a +beautiful coat! Did you see its scales, its neck, its head, and its +glittering horns? It looks like glass on polished gold. How beautiful! +how beautiful!" + +_Father._ My dear boy, since our heavenly Father is so great, so +powerful, and so wise; since he takes such care of this little insect +which crawls upon the ground; think how great must be his care of his +own children, whom he loved so much as to give his well-beloved SON to +die for them, that they might be saved, from eternal death! + +_Child._ Yes; our Saviour himself says that his children 'are of more +value than many sparrows;' so they must be of more value than this +little insect: and since it has received, and does all the while +receive from GOD, its food and its rich and beautiful clothing, surely +the same GOD will feed and clothe us also! My dear papa, are we not +very happy in having seen this insect, since it has shown us the power +and goodness of the LORD? + +_Papa._ Yes, my dear; let us thank GOD for thus enlarging our views of +his goodness and infinite wisdom. How good GOD is, thus to fill our +hearts with confidence, to assure us of his guardian care, and to +teach us that he sees, protects, and preserves us! + +I now turned the microscope, that we might examine the cochineal on +the other side; it was equally beautiful and perfect. The side legs, +which were so disposed as to balance the body, and make its motions +easy, were partly covered with scales, like those on the back; but +they were much smaller and more flexible. There were no scales near +the joints, and the legs were fastened to the body with such exactness +that it was impossible to perceive the smallest defect, even by means +of the strongest lens. Its light and delicate limbs moved with the +greatest ease, and with most astonishing regularity. + +"How wonderful is even one of its legs!" said I; "could the most skilful +artist or human mechanic imitate it, even in the clumsiest manner? Could +the most learned man give motion and life to this little creature?" + +_Child._ And yet some people say that all this is done by chance; is +this possible, papa? + +_Father._ My dear, there is no such thing as _chance_. GOD made the +world, and all that it contains. He alone is the Creator and Preserver +of all. Those that say that this insect was made by chance, show that +they have never examined it; and thus they cannot have seen the +powerful hand of GOD. + +_Child._ And what do those mean who say that _nature_ created animals +and plants? + +_Father._ Those who speak so are generally irreligious and ignorant +persons, who, instead of glorifying and blessing GOD as their Creator +and Preserver, never mention his name in their works or conversation; +and thus, instead of saying, 'GOD made this or that,' they say 'Nature +made' such things. + +_Child._ GOD then made every thing? + +_Father._ Yes, every thing, except what is bad. + +_Child._ This must be true: GOD created us, and preserves us every +moment. Yet few think of him, or speak of him. How does this happen, +papa? + +_Father._ My dear child, our hearts are naturally turned away from GOD. +Sin is the cause of this sad state: it separates our hearts from our +Father and Creator. We do not wish to own that he preserves and takes +care of us--supplies our wants, and gives us all things we enjoy. + +_Child._ Oh, papa! how few love GOD, and trust in him as they ought! + +_Father._ The true children of GOD alone really love him, desire to +please him, and sincerely trust in his goodness. Yes, my child, till +we are true Christians, till we are renewed and changed by the SPIRIT +OF GOD, we are like this little insect. We receive life, motion, food, +and clothing from him, but we seldom think of him; and we do not even +thank him for all his gifts. + +_Child._ I think, papa, that those who forget GOD are not even so good +as this little insect; for it at least does nothing wrong, while they +are wicked, obstinate, proud, and ungrateful. + +_Father._ You are right, my dear child. The sinner is not so good as +this insect. How thankful should we then be that our Saviour has +redeemed us from sin, and has made us children of GOD, by uniting us +for ever to himself? + +_Child._ Yes, we know that GOD is our Father, and that he loves us. I +am sure he takes care of me, since he has given his SON to save me. +What a good Father! what a kind Saviour! + +_Father._ Continue to love this good Saviour, my dear child; and +always remember the words of St. Paul:--"He who spared not his own +Son, but gave him up to the death for us all, shall he not with him +also freely give us all things?" Remember the cochineal, which is so +wonderfully formed by the LORD, and seek, above all things, the +blessing of the all-wise, powerful, and good GOD, who never forgets +you, and who is, through JESUS CHRIST, your heavenly Father. + +[Illustration] + + + + +THE GREAT AND GOOD GOD. + + + How wonderful this rolling ball + Of earth, that bears me now! + And, O! thou mighty GOD of all, + How wonderful art Thou! + + (And what is this vast world to thee, + With all its sea and land? + Just what a pebble is _to me_, + Or e'en a grain of sand.) + + And may a simple child address + So great and high a King? + And will he notice, will he bless + So mean a little thing? + + And may I hope his love to win, + Before his face to stand, + Who holds this spacious world within + The hollow of his hand? + + O yes! for though he is so high, + He makes e'en worms his care; + He will not scorn an infant's cry, + A sinful infant's pray'r. + + + + +Footnote: + + +[Footnote A: Perhaps the young reader would know it better by its more +common name of _lady bird_.] + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Cochineal, by Anonymous + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE COCHINEAL *** + +***** This file should be named 37508.txt or 37508.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + http://www.gutenberg.org/3/7/5/0/37508/ + +Produced by Larry B.
