Ted Madison's Diary.
Ted Madison was a boy eleven years
old. He had a diary given him last
Christmas by some well•meaning friends,
who also gave him a brief description of
its use. Ted tried most conscientiously,
but in vain, to "keep" it ; nothing ever
"took place" with him worthy of note,
He ate bis meals, and he went to school,
one day as another. So it is not surpris-
ing that before the middle of February
Ted's diary -keeping had come to an end,
and the book was looked up in the safe in
his fatber'e office to await more stirring
times, or the fuller development of in-
vention in its owner.
A few mornings before formally aban-
doning it he said to Harry, his cousin
and friend, "To -night I am going to write
in my diary -book everything the teacher
says to me to -day, just every little thing ;
and then tomorrow, everything father
and mother say to me. Now, that will
be something, won't it, Harry ?"
Ted's bright look, as of rosy antioi•
potion, made Barry laugh.
"Yee, you will probably have some
firet•olase leotnree preserved in ink, if
you are not careful—and you will any-
way, whether you are careful or not," he
added, as Ted gave the door a jubilant
bang behind Sim.
Harry had a strong affeationforhonest,
heedless Ted, and had been impressed for
some time with the immense amount of
snubbing deemed necessary to the
"bringing of him up." A0 home it was
"Don't, don't I" and a steady diet of
"Don't P" until Barry wondered why
every ray of oheerfulnees and every good.
natured impulse bad not been starved
out of the boy's disposition. Bothpar-
ents were good, were justice -loving, and
were model citizens. But each was busy
and full of care ; Mr. Madison in acquir-
ing wealth ; Mrs. Madison, nob a strong
woman, in battling with the infantile ail-
ments of a pair of sickly twine.
This was the situation, as Harry p0n-
dared upon it, wondering bow he could
help matters. It mow occurred to him
that maybe Ted himself had hit upon an
excellent plan—that of putting down all
his father and mother should say to him
in the course of a day. Then if some
discreet accident should bring it to light,
and they for ones saw themselves as
their son was forced to see them, per-
haps the diary would accomplish a good
purpose.
A few nights later, Harry, feeling un-
well, retired early with Ted, little think-
ing that the diary had already accom-
plished, or, at least, begun its mission.
Sleeping lightly, he was aroused by voices
in the adjoining bedroom.
"Myra, I have Ted's dairy here," said
Mr. Madison. "He seemed to be pretty
hard pushed at the last for matter to pat
down, as you may judge by knowing that
hie last few pages are filled with a report
of all you and I said to him yesterday."'
"Said to bim yesterday ? I can't re.
member a word I °aid to the child yeeter-
dayWell, we both did take time to ad-
dress him several times, though whether
the boy or the world either is any better
for it you can decide by reading it over."
The extracts were as follows :
t10T14ER'8 PAOE.
Morning :
"Hurry up, Teddie, breakfast is nearly
ready. Don't wait to be called a second
time."
"Don't, don't, mance eo much clatter l
You'll wake the babies."
"Teddie, see your bands l Leave the
table instantly and wash them over
again."
"Don't try to explain ! I know chap.

"Don't lean over your plate so—sit

'There, there ! drumming with your
feet again. Every day you have to be
told about that."
"What in the world do you want to
take lunch to school for ? One would
think you would want to come home."
Noon :
"Don't try to talk when your Dating."
"Listen and you won't have to ase
over."
"Be careful."
"Don't tell such foolish stories?"
"Sit still."
"Ted -die I Don't let me have to speak
to you every day about doing that l"
(Tipping up the sanee•pla05 for the lash
spoonful of "juice,")
Night :
"Go straight back and try cleaningyonr
shoes again."

"Do not whistle in the house."
"Callers are coming, so go out to play.

"Forgot to unobain Carlo, again, bave

"Bring me a match, son --bat, there,.

"Lon't interrupt a person. speaking,"
"Not another word about money 1 I

After a few iniuutoo' silence, a family
=moil seemed to ensue. Harry, wish-.
iug devoutodly he could bear, caught
only those fragments :
"All true." "Not an encouraging
word." "A etepnlotber's anuld'nb be
worse than mine" "Full of fatherly in-
struction, isn't it." "As though he were
only a nuisance." •"Not a .lad boy."
""Disorderly --!Host boyeborn so." "Well
I'm going to turn over 1t new leaf."
Then me Harry's ear caught the dole-
ful sound of soba, he oast one triumphant
glance in the direction of snugly peace.
fully slumbering Ted, and drew the bed-
clothes over his head.
But to leave the Madison's, how many
of us oould feel sure of enjoying a persual
of a similar report from our own Teddie,
a report dame chance yesterday ? Poe.
sibly it might he to our profit and peace
of mind to stop and consider what view
of our character—not our minister, nor
our neighbors, nor out parlor.oallere, but
ourohildren get from what they daily
see and hear from ns.
Dear little offending Teds are on hand
with trying blunders at trying momenta,
and correction under the existing order
of things, cannot alwaye be administer-
ed in an ideal manner, But let us not
reiterate day by day, to an unheeding
Teddie, the same directions. Rather, let
us give to him bountifully of our lova.
No more terrible mistake could be made
than to think that an eleven-year.old boy
cares no longer to be loved and petted—
not petted in just the same manner as
hie younger brother in, but in towhee of
endearment, and praise for well doing,
benefitting bis age. And in giving abun-
dantly of our love we are cafe—for love
is ingenious, and love will find out many
and many a device, both merry and gentle
whioh will do far greater service as a re-
minder of e, fault than any sharp repri-
mand or cutting sarcasm would ever do,
