There, Pussl said little Matty, you
may have my dinner if you want it, I'm
tired of bread and milk I'm tired of
this old brown house. I'm tired of this
old barn, with its red caves. I'm tired
of the garden, with its rows lilacs, its
sunfowers and its beds of catnip and
pennyroyal. I'm tired of the old well,
with its poll balancing in their air. I'm
tired of the meadow where cows feed and
the hens are always picking up grasshop-

amt happy. I'm tired of this brown stuff
dress, and these thick leather shoes, and
my old sun-bonnet. There comes a nice
carriage-how smooth and shiny the
horses are; how bright the silver-mount-
ed harness glitters; how smart the coach
man looks, in his white gloves. How
nice it must be to be rich, and ride in
carriage! oh! there is little girl in it,no
older than l, and all alone, too "a rich
little girl, with pretty rose-colored bon
net, and q silk dress, and cream m-colored
kid gloves. See-she has beautiful cur
ling hair, and when she puts her pretty
face out of the carriage window, and tell
the coachman to go here, and to 30 there,
he minds just as if it were grown lady.
Why did God make her rich and me poor?
Why did he let her ride in carriage, and
mo 60 bare foot? Why did he cloth her
like butterfly, and me like catterpil-

BE JUST.

There is q lesson, and good one. in the following
lines Wecoud wish that our readers might hea
them sung in the admirable voice and manner of tn
friend from whom we derive them.
Let US speak of a man as we find him,
And censure alone what we see;
And should man blame, let's remind him
That from faults we are none Of US free.
If the veil from the heart could be torn,
And the mind could be read on the brow,
There are many we'd pass by with scorn
Whom we're loading with high honors now.
Let us speak Of a man as We And him.
And heed not what others may say;
If he's frail, then kind word would bind him
Where GOODNESS would turn him away
For the heart must be barren, indeed,
Where no bud Of repentance can bloom
Then pause, ere you censurc with speed
On irown or a smile hangs his doom.
