old enough to detect it? Besides, it
would be very strange if they themselves

Deceiving Children.

l was spending few days with al
intimate friend, and never did I see :
more systematic housewife, and, wha
then seemed to Inc one who had so qui
ct and complete control of her child
But the secret of the latter | soon learn.
ed. One evening she wished to spend
with me at a neigbor's-it was a small
social gathering of friends, therefore she
was very DESTROYS of attending bu,
her child demanded her presence with
him, and hearing him say lis prayers,
she said:
Willie, did you not see that pretty lit
tie kitten in the street to-day p f..
Yes, did, he replied, 4 wish l h ad
her; wasn't she pretty?'
Yes, very,; now don't you want me
to buy the kitten for you? Perhaps the
man will sell her.
%, yes, mother, do buy her.
Well, then, be good boy while I'm
gone Thus saying, she closed the door,
but he Immediately called her back.
Don't 60 till morning, then can go
with you; won't you stay
No, Willie the man won't sell if
don't 60 tonight; so be good boy
He said no more, but quietly lay
down.
is this the way you govern your
child ? said l, after VIC had gained the
street; If you but knew the injury you
are doing, you would take different
course
Injury! she repeated, what harm
have done ? l did not tell him would
see the man II only asked him if ]
should
But you gave him to understand that
you would. He is not old enough to de.
tect the difference now, but he soon will
be. Then fear you will perceive your
error too late. you have yourself graft
ed a thorn in the young rose, which will
eventually pierce You most bitterly.
You cannot break off the thorn, or club
the point. to make it less piercing. On
your return he will not see the kitten,
therefore you will have to invent another
falsehood to conceal the first
We had now gained our friends door,
which ended our conversation During
the evening she seemed gayer than usu-
al; my words had little or no effect
upon her. She did not think her little
one was doing all he could to keep awake
to see the coveted kitten on her return,
wondering what made mother gone SO
long.
It was late ere / reminded her we
ought to return. But little was said
during our homeward walk. She went
noise!essly into the room, supposing her
boy asleep; but he heard her and said
Mother, is that you? Have you
brought the kitten ? kept awake to see
it, and | was SO sleepy.
No. my dear; the man would not
sell her.
why won't he, mother? he asked
With quivering lips.
/ don't know l suppose he wants her
10 catch rats and mice.
Did he say so mother? Il
He did not say just that, but ]
thought he meant SO.
I did want it SO bad, mother. The
little lips quivered, and the tears started
70 his eyes. He rubbed them with his
little hands winking very fast to keep
them back, but they would come at
last he fell asleePwith the pearly drops
glistening on his rosy cheeks. The
mothers glistcning also. AS she knelt
