FROM FELL Noes
THE WHITE PANTS.

"Oh, mother! won't you make me
some white pants. like Eds and
Sam's7''
"Why, my dear, what do you
wish 10 have white pants for!"
'.Ol because everybody says how
hice they look. Mrs Ray called
'em both just now, and kissed EN-
both, and give 'em cooky, cause
she said they looked SO pretty in
their clean white pants. Say, ma,
won't you make me sonnet"
"Yes, Willie, if can get time: tut
don't tease me now"
Willie looked disappointed, bu! he
went TO his play tor that time. Bat
in a day or two, he again begged
his mother for the white pants.
Ed and Sam were twins. and the
only children of parents who were
very fond Of seeing them look pref
~. Their mother kept them in nice
clothes, and never lie; them out upon
the ee,,except when they were in
perfect order
A day or two after Willie had
been so attracted 10y the white
pants. the boys came 10 make him a
visit. and though il was pleasant
summer day, they seemed inclined
TO stay in the house. Willie bro'l
out all his playthiogs, made block
houses. set his ship for sail. made
pictures on the slate,and all the time
he kept wishing in his heart for the
white pants.
At last, weary with all other
things,he took his barlow knife for a
game Of mumblepeg,as the boys call
ed it; but Wi!lie's mother said they
must not toss their kniies on her
new carpet, as it nigh, cut the
threads;the summer-house wenld be
better, as il was coot and shady and
they might laugh as loud as they
liked, for il would no, wake the ba
by.
"Our mother won't lei us play
outdoors without We stand up all
the time," said Ed.
"Why :" asked Will. ~
"'Cause the grass will dirty cur
white pants; we have to stand up
every minute when we are out
DOORS"
oh, pshawr said VIII, Il don'l
believe she'll care-just in the sum-
mer house-ii's so cleah and sweet
out there. and all covered with ros-
es.'
Lets co. said Sam, his eyes dane
ing with pleasure at the thought Of
roses.
NC Nc, no, Saml we'll both get Il
whipping if we do. for grass stains
and makes mother so much trouble
No, no, Will, we'll 81, here And
the poor little fellow drew a long
breath and gave longing look To-
wards the sunshine, roses and blue
birds, and then threw himself upon
the soia with great care, lest he shoe
spoil the crimp Of his ru.lles.
; Will go. out the books and pic,
tures, but tkere was no sport, iol
their little hearts were all ut-doors
The next day Will stood by hi.
mother. and pat his arm round bel
neck; lie was thinking how gooo
she was 10 him. She thought he
had something 10 say, and wa.;ec
till he vas ready 10 say it. Al las
il canc:
"Moiher. you need not make me
any white pants I'D rather veal
patches than TO iii in the house al
the time for fear of a whipping; auc
I'D rather be whipped than 10 make
you so much trouble"
The white pants were nevc,
made. VIII grew up to be strong
tall man, did not &c, much praise 10,
his clothes. but he had health and
strength. AuNT FANNY.
