How sad a thing this to be without a
home-zWithout a fathers protection,
sisters care, and above ALL mothers un-
dying love. Poor Willie had enjoyed none
ofthese. Bound to a harsh master, he
never knew what it was to feel the hand
of father upon his head, the kiss of
sister upon his lips, nor the heavenly sem
satlon awakened by mothers smile.
Little Willie was an Orphan-a poor
bound boy. Like the young bird Gagged, he
knew not that he was born to be free. yet
p,ned and sckened in confinement. Viii,
lie grew SICK. yet no kind word, no healing
balm were ministered to him. Driven
about by peevIah mistress and a cruel
master, till faint and exhausted he sank
down upon the floor.
Go to bed said the mistress in harsh
tone, as she dragged him 10 the chamber
door.

pity me p said little Willie, as he closed
the door and crawled up stairs to his straw
bed upon the floor. There was no reply
and no one thought more Of the poor orr
phan on that winter right.
It was cold and cherries night the
wind walled around the family mansion
like distressed spirns: the snow slfted
through the crevices. and the wind roared
wildly in the distant forest. But the
storm and darkness wore away Morning

carriage on springs, and to drive his
horses, as the machine regulates itself.-
1t is so constructed that by moving a brake
with the foot, the load of grain to be
sown can be taken in at any point, and
not drop Il kernel Until the operator ar
