A FAIR FEE.
A BTORY : BY CORNRLIA RATHBONB.
Wolvenlaook was email, but then its qual-
ity was unexceptional, it was eo Dutch so
conservative, so eminently aristocratic. Dutch,
that it was, by any means, on one dead
level of respectability.
Being i town it had its depths which re-
spectability respectably ignored, and its
heights, besides which, in Wolvenhook's
eyes, the heights of other towns seemed as
though they were not. In High Street the
king peak was reached; there respectability
culminated. Enough blue blood coursed in
its two short blocks to impurple the red of a
thriving western town; every door -plate
bore its Van or Ten, or well-bred hyphen
suggestive of R,evolutionary grandsires.
Its very name gave evideuc,e of honorable
old age, for many a year must have passed
since it was, in reality, the high street of the
town. It had, indeed, only set foot upon
the hill, up which the younger, less dignified
streets had swiftly ran, leaving the old one
far behind, low down in all save name. • The
old people behind its antique door -plates
smiled as they watched the upward march,
"It is all very well for new people," they
said, "but we are too old for that sort of
thing."
It was a trifle inconvenient, perhaps, to
be quite away from the centre of things;
but the majority were possessed of comely
bays to bear them thither, if need be, and
the few whose ohiefest wealth lay in ancesa
tors went cheerfully afoot, supported,doubt-
less, by the consciousness of this buried
treasure.
When thisunsubstantial prop failed to
strengthen the feeble knees, they staid
cheerfully at home and viewed the world
from an upper window. Mrs. Van Vliet, at
the lower end, swept the street indefatigably
front a grievously modern but convenient
"bay," a,nd Mrs. Clinton -Cone, with the
aid of a skilfully placed reflector, was
equally at home with the up -per end's at-
tains.
But upon all High Street's otherwise un-
tarnished respectability and antiquity there
was one blot: In the very heart of it, cheek
by jowl with Mrs. Clinton -Cone, face to face
with Miss Susan Van Droop, lived a person
called Davis, a person without ancestors !
Worse offence still, however, this person
had a son, an equally ancestorless son, with
whom Elsie' sole daughter of the house of
Cuyler, hadtaken it into her very inde-
pendent, very American little head to fall in
love.
The son, Bob by name, was junior partner
in the law firm of Clark, Frayly & Davis,
and was regarded by the world outside High
Street as a very brilliant and rising young
jurist. Davis 'Isere" did something in iron,
car wheels or kettles, High Street was un-
certain which. It Was quite clear, however,
as to the original old Davis, who had mar-
ried a nolx)dy with money, bought the Birck
house, heaven knows why, and died there.
He had been a grocer -a retail grocer. To
be sure, so had the Van Kleeks, and the
Cuylers themselves; but then note the differ-
ence
For them it was a deicent, a brief, neces-
sary adjustment of new settlers to new en-
vironments • but to the Davis's it waa a rise,
the grocer I:oaring begun life, it wag said, as
a peddler, and Mrs. Clinton -Cone, that
handbook of useful information, even shook
her head a little dubiously at that. But, in
spite of all this, Elsie fell in love with Bob
Davis.
How it all came about nobody knew. It
was, in fact, a very old affair, dating back
to the clays when Bob, just out of knicker-
bockers, had drawn little Miss Cuyler up
the hill from school on his sled some dozen
times or so. This being told mamma, was
promptly pat a stop to; and Elsie, with hot
cheeks and flashing eyes, told Bob of the
prohibition.
"1 can't play with you any more, Bob,
and just because my mother doesn't know
yours."
"She can't," said Bob, roughly. " Mother's
dead !"
"Well, any way, I can't play with you,"
said Elsie, with a little choke in her voice,
"but 1 don't care, you're the nicest boy in
the street, I don't 4:3are what they say, and
I'll love you always."
And Bob then and there registered a vow
in his boyish heart to serve for his true little
love, if need be, as Jaeob served for Rachel,
but to win her in the end.
"Don't cry, Elsie," he said. " make
'son let us be friends some time, see if I
don't !" and then in the shadow of the old
church they kissed one another -think of it!
a peddler's grandson and a daughter of the
house of Cnyler !--and _Elsie gave Bob the
blue ribbon from her curls, and Bob slipped
his dearest treasure, a pocket compass, into
Elsie's hand, and then they said good-bye.
After that there had been no more sled
rides, no more talks by the churchyard cor-
ner; but there had been smiles of reeogni-
tion and stolen glances sweet as the forbid-
den always is, and growing sweeter and shy-
er as the -years slipped by.
It was not until at Elsie's first dinner
party., however, that they really met again.
The dinner was given by Mrs. Martin, one
of the hill people. Dirok Bogaert had taken
Elsie in, and when she summoned courage to
lift her eyes from her oysters she found Bob,
:Davis on her other hand.
"Mins Cuyler, you know Mr. Davis, of
course, said her hostess, leaning forward a
little. '
"Oh, yes," said Elsie shyly.
"1 am not quite forg(4ten, then ?" asked
Bob.
"Of course not," said Elsie, flushing a
little, "one can hardly forget one's near
neighbors, Mr. Davis."
"You don't Wear blue now," said Bob,
smiling.
"Bine is ehildish," said Elsie.
"1 like it, though," said Bob.
Then they talked of the roses, of Mrs.
Martin's charming new candle shades, of
the bat play, of Mrs. Wendell Carter's
novel.
"1• have that bow of blue ribbon still,Miss
Cuyler," said Bob, suddenly.
Elsie laughed a little, and flushed again.
"1 think I have the compass put away
somewhere," she said.
"Of course you will be at Mrs. Fenton's
dance on Tuesday," broke in Dirck Bogaert.
' "It was a delightful dinner," Elsie told
her mamma. DirclaBogaert had taken her
in; she had enjoyed it. Mrs. Cuyler smiled;
she approved of Dirck.
After this these two inconsequent young
people met frequently, Bob having been,
taken up enthusiastically by ' the hill set.
Before the winter was over the - little blue
bow was no longer alone in its hiding plaee;
a glove, a faded. rose, a dainty note or two
kept it company there.
But by that time Mrs. Clinton -Cone had
discovered . what was going on. She had
spied two figures loitering homeward through
the dusk; she had seen a lingering hand-
clasp as they parted at the steps; she had
caught unwary glances thrown at Elsie's
window pane.
Small things, but quite enough for Mrs.
Clinton -Cone, who, by long practice, had be-
come an adept at putting two and two to-
gether. Consequently a sudden quiver stir-
red the High" Street air; somebody had
whispered; little thrills of excitement began
to run along the stately brick and marble
fronts; the very names upon the door -plates
shuddered.
Mrs. Clinton -Cone's next " Thursday""was
crowded. Her tea cost not a penny over
forty cents the pound, and skim milk mas-
queraded as cream in the old silver jugs,but
her Thursdays were always popular. She
-presided so charmingly behind the Queen
Anne silver, and the Lowestoft cups, in her
heirloom -filled, relic -lined drawing -room;
and then there was always a tasty diah of
gossip served with the thin bread and but-
ter, which more than compensated for the
weak tea.
Elsie furnished the relish to -day, and the
excitement waxed furious. Mrs. Clinton -
Cone sighed, with raised eyebrows: " Of
course, it is lamentable," she said, as always
apologizing for her victim in her gentle, pur-
ring way, "but perhaps the poor child is
hardly so much to blame after all. You
know, I believe ea strongly in heredity, and
we all know that -well, that she can't be
expected to look at things in quite the same
way that we do, perhaps. Can she, Miss
Susan?"
Miss Van Droop flushed a little at this,
and clattered her teaspoon nervously by
way of response. One or two of the ladies
smiled.
"Mr. Davis is a very nice young man,I've
heard," said Miss Van Droop at last, in a
small, timid voice, "and if they love each
other, poor young things, think how sad for
them?'
• "Dear Miss Susan is always so tender
hearted 1" purred Mrs. Clinton -Cone.
"Oh, no, indeed no," said Miss Van
Droop, deprecatingly, "but one can't help
feeling sorry, I think." Miss Van Droop
sighed softly as she rose to leave. ,
"What is it about Miss Van Droop ?"
whispered a little debutante. "1 saw - Mrs.
Van Vliet laughing,"
"Oh, it was long before your day," said
Mrs. Clinton -Cone. "Susan was in love
with this young Davis' father, that's all; it
was stopped of course. Mrs. Van Droop
wasn't one to stand that sort of thing, but
they say that Susan has never got over it."
Miss Van Droop, meanwhile, had reached
her own door, and pulled its shining bell
handle.
" Matilda," she said as she entered,
ti.` there is such a pretty little fellow out here
tith a fiddle; I wish you would get me my
' urse."
"Miss Susan, you know your ma would'nt
have no beggars encouraged," said the grim
handmaiden severely. "Sit down now, till
I take off your rubbers."
'ts
" Thank you, Matilda," Miss Van
Droop meekly.
She went slowly up the stairs to her room
and shut the door; Matilda's heavy foot-
steps died away; then a door in the nether
regions slammed -Matilda always • slammed
doors,slainmed them aggressively; it was her
way of saying amen to the Declaration of In-
dependence
Quickly and cautiously Miss Van Droop
raised the window sash; the little fiddler
had not yet finished his • tune, a sweet, old
fashioned one. How often Miss Van Droop
had sung it in the old days ! That last
happy evening at the Stanton's-how he had
praised her singing of it! She had caught
his eye as she sang, she remembered, and
afterward he had thanked her and pressed
her hand.
"Give me back, give me back the wild
freshness of morning !" squeaked the little
old fiddle from below.
Miss Van Droop cast one quick glance
over her ithoulder at the doer; then a silver
piece rang on the pavement at the fiddler's
feet, and Miss Van Droop, with the window
shut, stood.before the dressing table, fum-
bling hurriedly with her bonnet strings.
When the bonnet, with its strings neatly
rolled and pinned, was replaced in its box,
and the camel's hair elia,w1 folded away in
the brass -bound camphor chest, Miss Van
Droop drew her chair close to the fire and
sank into its cozy depths.
She was not cold, but the fire, with its
cheery erackle'had a sociable, living sound,
and Miss Van Droop was lonely. This story
about Elsie Cuyler had brought back the
past so clearly, it seemed almost as if it
•were her own story she had been hearing
this afternoon.
" I wonder if it will end like mine 1" she
thought. She shuddered, and poked the fire
to make it crackle louder; but, in spite of
the fire, it felt lonely in the big,quiet house.
She thought of Elsie; of her gay, audacious
speeches, her pretty little wilfulnesses her
tender caressing ways. Would she, troO, sit
alone by and by, and make the fire crackle
to drown the crying of her empty heart. Ah,
Elsie, she told herself, was made of sterner
stuff than she had been.
Then Miss Van Droop, with ,the little
fiddler's tune ringing in her ears, stole away
from the fire and came back with a letter in
her lea,nd. She read it slowly, with dim eyes
which had faded, too, and when she had
read it she kissed it softly.
The old clock on the mantle -shelf broke
suddenly into her dreaming. Half -past five
Miss Van Droop started. Hidden by the
heavy window hangings she peered out fur-
tively through the meshes of the stiff laoe
curtains.
Yes; there he came, he was always so
pu.nctintl, a tall, erect figure, stepping firm-
ly and lightly in spite of his white hair and
his sixty years. He mounted the steps,
fumbling for his latch -key as he went; and
Miss Van Droop watched him throughthe
said
Curtain meshes, with his love letter clasped
'tightly in her ha,nd.
• For thirty years she had watched thus for
Robert Davis' home -coming. Was it thirty
years? Thirty years since the day when,
obedient to her mother's command, she had
looked her lover in the face and passed on
broken-hearted. Thirty yeara 1 ' It seemed
like yesterday. ,
Miss Van Droop
the letter back in
bands.
By and by she smoothed the soft bands of
her faded hair, which had been so bright..
gold thirty years ago, and went' down and
took her place in the gloomy dining -room,
where the shaded candles made little circles
of light on the polished mahogany, and
gleamed 'softly on antigne glass too old to
sparkle, and brought into light the Van
Droop crest on the rare old silver tea ser-
vice. For company she had Matilda, stand-
ing grim and silent behind her chair.
After tea Miss Van Droop sat with her
work in the drawing -room. She was knit-
ting a. little jacket for a cousin's) child.
Then, being restless to -night, ehe opened
the piano and played a little, touching the
yellow keys lightly. It was quaint, old
music that she played, full of turns and
quavers and trills. There were gavottes
and minuets, and simple tender' airs with
many ingenious variations.
She played them with much precision and
carefulness, in a delicate, old-fashioned style
which somehow seemecl to suit the old
music. Dien faintly and uncertainly her
fingers fell their way into the air the little
fiddler had played that afternoon; and very
softly, in a thin, cracked voice, which yet
sounded like the far -away echo of something
very sweet, Miss Van Droop sang the old
sang again:
"Each wave that we' danced on at morning ebbs
from us,
And leaves us at eve on the bleak shore alone."
she sang; and then the old voice trembled
and failed, and Miss Van Droop shut the
piano lid and turned the light out, and went
up through the darkness to bed. But first.
she looked across again to the house oppo-
site, where the light shone still. "Gond-
night !" she whispered, "God bless you my
dear !"
In a palm -screened corner of Mrs. Martin's
great ball-roora Bob and Elsie were gloomily
facing the future.
" You are quite sure it has got about ?"
asked Bob for the twentieth time.
"Sure!why haven't people been shouting
it out within On inch of my ears all the
evening, as if I were a wax -work in the
Eden Musee 1 Mrs. Clinton -Cone will be
over by to -morrow to condole with mamma.
Heavens knows why she hasn't been be-
fore -she must have had an attack of some-
thing."
"here's nothing for it, then, but to see
your 'father in the morning," said Bob,
gloomily.
"There couldn't be a worse time," said
Elsie. "He's so put out abouttethat law-
suit of his; there's a hitch somewhere, and
yesterday he heard that his lawyer, Mr.
Buel, was ill, and couldn't conduct the case;
he's in a terrible way about it."
"It's a great pity about Buel," said Bob.
"They are afraid it is softening of the brain.
It was sad news to me, for he's been a first-
rate friend of mine, the dear old man. I have
always thought, though, that he took the
wrong view as regards that man Hatch. I
suppose that is where the hitch you speak of
comes in ?"
"Why, what do you know about it?"
"Well, the truth is, I have been workin
up the case a little on my own hook," sai
Bob. "It is rather out of the ordinary run,
and interested me, and then, in a way, it
was your case, you see. Buel and I have
talked it over several times, I told him I
thought he was wrong about Hatch."
"This suit has been father's one thought
for years, almost," said Elsie. "1 don't
know what he will do now, I'm sure."
"Well, I'll see himto-morrow," said Bob.
"It won't be a bit of use," sighed Elsie,
"Oh, Bob, if I could only give you a few
dozen of my grandfathers! Goodness knows
I don't want them. It does seem to me too
ridiculous that I can't marry whom I please,
just because a hundred years ago some Cu-
ter or other founded the family -as they call
it! Just as if he had popped up readymade
like a mushroom! It is as bad as belonging
to a reigning house! I suppose nobody
would object if I suggested marrying your
great -great-grandson! Oh, dear, why
didn't that Cuyler die young and leave us
unfounded ?"
Elsie made her absurd little speech with a
laugh, but the laugh was almost a sob.
"Can't you see me at fifty, Bob," she
said, "prim and faded, and mildly dejected,
with a, taste for tea, and gossip, and geed
works ; and not even a cat for company, for
I hate the sight of them! Can't you see me,
Bob !"
"You will be my dear wife long before
that, please God 1' said Bob, taking both of
Elsie's hands in his. And there was so much
quiet determination in his tone that she felt
quite comforted.
"1• vowed as a boy that led win you," went
on Bob, "and win you I will, if you'll only
be true to me, Elsie."
"Bob," said Elsie, "I can't promise to
marry you without their consent, but I'll
love you, and I'll wait for you all my life,
dear.'
It is an easy thing to vow vows. Nothing
is simpler -an impulse, a breath, and it is
done -but, oh! the keeping of them,
Out of the mighty multitude of glowing
young hearts who swear to set the world
afire, how many, think you, ever light any-
thing at all save their bedroom candle?
Bob had sworn, glibly and hopefully
enough, to win his true love in spite of all
the old Dutchmen, living and dead. It was
easy to be hopeful while music throbbed and
swayed, and his sweetheart was at his side;
but later, when the lights were out, and the
music ilent, and his sweetheart a block
away, things assumed a different. aspect.
Win her? Yes! in that resolution he !never
faltered, but a great impaesable How rose
up before him, and blocked the way.
Night; however, brings counsel, and when
Bob finally turned in, though his head in-
deed was a whirl of chaotic ideas, light
beamed over chaos; the creation of his plan
wan begun.
"Are you training for a walking match,

kept me awake half the night tramping
over my head. Next time you have a
troublesome ease, my son, do at least, in
mercy to me, take your boots off. Was it a
troublesome case, by the way, or a bad

A Scotch Translation of the Fifth
Chapter of Matthew.
BY REV. WILLIAM WYE SMITE, ST. CATHARINES,
ONTARIO.
Wha'8 happy. A wheen auld sayins straughtened.
Ettle ye perfection!
And seein' the thrang o' folk, he geed up
intil a mountain; and when he was sutten
doon, his followers gather% round. And he
opened his mooth and instrnctit them; and
quo' he, Happy the speerits that are lown
and eannie ; for the kingdom o' heav-
en is waitin' for them! Happy they
that are makin' their mane; for they sal
find comfort and peace! Happy the lowly
and meek o' the yirth ; for the yirth sal be
their ain haddin' 1 Happy they whase hun-
ger and drowth are a' holiness • for they sal
be sittisfy't I Happy the anal' ; for they
sal win pity theirsels ! Happy the pure-
heartit ; for their een sal dwell upon God !
Happy the makkers-up o' strife; for they
eel be countit for bairns o' God! Happy
they, the ill-treatit anes for the sake o
gude; for they's hae the kingdom o' God!
Happy sal ye be when folk sal raises' ye,and
ill-treat ye, and say a' things again ye
wrangously, for my sake! Joy ye, and In;
turned away and laid
its place with tender
blythe ! for yer meed is great in heaven 1
for e'en sae did they till the prophets afore
ye.
The saut o' the yirth are ye; but gin the
sant hae tint its tang how's it to be sautit ;
Is it no clean useless but to be cuisten oot,
and trauchl't under folk's feet? Ye are the
warld's Relit. A toun biggit on a hilltap is
aye seen. Nor wad men licht a taper, and
pit it aneath a cog,but set it up; and it gies
heist -to a' the hoose. Sae let yer Edit gang
abreid amang men ; that seein' yer
gude-
warks they may gie God glory.
Think ne, I am come to do awa' wi' the
maw and the prophets: I'se no come to do
awa', but to bring to paa.a. For truly say I
t'ye, Till heaven and yirth (twine awa, ae
jot or ae tittle fails-na o' a' the law, till a'
comes to pass! Than, wha breaks ane o'
tha,e wee'st commands, and gars ithers sae
do, he sal be ea't the kingdom o'
heaven ,• but wha sal keep them, and pread
them abreid, he sal be ca't heigh i' the knig-
dom o' heaven. For say 1 to you, Gin yer
gudeness gang-na 'yont the ficribea and Phar -
sees, ne'er sal ye win intil the kingdom o'
heaven.
Ye ken how it was spoken by thc folk o'
yore --Ye maun ria kill; and whasae kills is
in danger o' the coort. But I say t'ye
Whasae is ang'ry wi' his brither-man sal b.;
in danger o' the coort ; and whasae sail afty
till his brither-man, " gonyel !" sal be in
danger o' the council; but wha sal say
" fule 1" sal be in danger o' the fire o' hell!
Sae, gin ye fesh yer offering till the altar -
place, and there bethinks ye o' a songless in
a brither's mind toward ye, pit doon yer of-
fering foment the altar, and baud aw a' ;
first be at ane wi' yer brither-man, and syne
come and offer yer gift. Mak up yer
enemy while ye are i' the highway him;
sae as he gies ye na ower till the judge, and
the judge till the officer, and ye be cuisten.
intil prison. Truly say 1 t'ye, Ye comema
oot, till the last bodle is paid up
Ye hae heard it was said Fang sync, "Ye
sanna commit adultery 1" But a say t'ye,
Wham) glowers on a woman wi' desire, has
e'en e -now comrnittet the sin wi' her in his
heart! And gin yer richt ee ensnare ye, out
wa, and cast it frae ye It is for yer gude
that ae member sud be destroy't, and no
that yer hail body sud fa' intil hell. And
gin yer richt haun' enanare ye, cut it a,ff,and
'cast it awa'; better for ye that ae member
sud fail, and no that yer hail body sud fa'
intil hell.
The sayin' has been, "Whasae pits a.wa
his wife lat him gie her a written divorce-
ment." But say I, Whasae pits awe.' his
wife, gin it bena for the cause o' forlying,
gars her commit adultery; and whasae weds
her that is divorced commits adultery.
Ance main ye ken it has been said by tha.e
o' by past time. "Ye man na, forsweer yer-
sel' but ye'se render till the Lord yer aiths."
But say I. Sweer-na ava, I no, by heaven, for
it is God's throne; nor yet by the yirth, for
it is his fit-brod ; nor by Jerusalem, for it is
the toun o' the great King. Nor sal ye
sweer by yer ain heid ; for ye canna, mak as
hair white nor black. But lat your answer
be, "Ay, ay," and "Na, na ;" for onything
mair comes o' nae gude.
Ye ken it has been said, "An ee for an ee,
and a tooth for a tooth 1" But say 1, Resist
ye na ; but gin ane smite ye on the ae
cheek, turn ye till him the ither as weel.
• And gin ony man hae a ploy again ye and
tak awa' yer coat, e'en lat him hae the cloak
too. And gin he be impressed for a mile by
ane, gang ane mair wi' him. Gie till him
askinfrae yo; and frae him wha wad re-
ceive o' ye turn no awa'.
Ye ken it has been said, " Ye sal Io'e yer
neibor, and hate yer fae," But say I, "Lo`e
yer faes ; bless the anes that ban and curse
ye; seek the gude o' them that hate ye;
and pray for sic as shamefully ill-treat ye,
and seek for yer wrang. That ye a' may be
the bairns o' yer Faither in heaven; for he
gars his sun to glint alike on the ill and on
the gude, and sends oot his rain baith on
the just and the unjust. For gin ye but luv
whaur there is luy till yersel', whaur is yer
fee? divaa e'en the reivin' tax -men the
same? And gin ye speir eftir yer ain kith,
how div ye niair -nor ither folk? divna e'en
the tax -men nee? But ye maun be perfete,
e'en as yer Faither aboon is a' perfete.
•
Your Boy.
He is a splendid fellow. Still, you can-
not help confessing that half a dozen girls
are nothing to manage when compared with
that small object in the blue sailor suit, who
rattles a stick against • the railings as he
comes down the street from school°, stopping
to throw a spit -ball at the parlor windows of
Mrs. Jones, a brick at Miss Tabby's pet cat,
and an apple, which has not turned out as
its exterior promised, at the one -eyed
yellow -backed parrot on Captain Comfry's
front porch.
You have tried to give him pretty man-
ners, but in spite of all your efforts, he be-
haves so rudely that any one who did not
know him as well as you do, might fail to
seetthat he was the finest boy in the world.
In fact, neighbors sometimes complain of
him when he snatches their little,girl's dolls
away, or climbs their garden fences to pick
the fruit from some pet tree which has borne
two crooked peaches with worm -holes in
the sides this year, and has so excelled it-
self.
Oh 1 how you try to keep him tidy 1 how
you dress him like a Christmas doll in a
New York show window! And look at him
now -white on his elbows, white on his
knees, black on his fingers, brown on his
nose, and yellow on his toes. The white
is from the new building ; the black is
from the smith'a at the crossing ; the brown
comes from flattening his nose against the
panes at the paper factory; and the yellow
proves that when they spilt the box of yel-
low ochre at the paint shop, he found it
necessary to walk through it, When . you
get nearer you will find that he is &tool
Mae green and orange, for he perched oni
the paint store counter, and sat there ten:
minutes.
Where is his hat? Gone He threw it
at the tipsy man on the hotel steps, who
kept it. You will have to patch him exten-I
sively, and scour him with turpentine toa
night, although that suit is only one week
old, for he has poked among the old casks at
the cooper's, and climbed the ladder .at the
carpenter's, and had it fight with the
butcher's son -that is blood onthis oollar-H
and done a thousand forbidden things since
he left school.
• His atlas is torn, his slate cracked, " the
place" torn Out of his history, and lumps of
°hewing gum fasten the pages of his copy
book together, While you are mending his
clothes to -night, you will find in the pockets
a variety of things that will please you.
You will find a piece of cheese -he asked
the grocer for a sample for you -a dead
mouse, some taffy, a ducks egg of last
months nest, some bait for fishing, a littl
fish, some hooks, a paper of gunpowder an
fine matches. And as you work he. will *
into the store -room, eat sugar from the baani
with a spoon, "snoop" preserves, -burn his
shoes by putting them on the back of the
store to dry, put the kitten in the oven t.�
scare her, and throw the new arrival in the
kitchen 'into spasms by putting on one of the
newly ironed sheets and playing ghost in it
in the coal bin in the cellar. He is sure to
smash a window pane, and to break a gob-
let, and you are glad when he falls asleep
on the parlor sofa and can be conveyed up
stairs in a bewildered condition, to be in-
ducted into his canton flannel night gown„
and coaxed to say his prayers nearly half
way through before he is so far gone that
utterance fails him.
Then youatuck him in and kiss him where
his curls grow thick upon his forehead as hie
father's did in "old courting days ;" and
though you know that there are people in
the world who might call hifn a dreadful
boy, he is the apple of your eye. -M. K. D;
