A LESSON in THE WooDs.--Some sixty
years ago there lived on the borders Of
civilization a man who had an aged, in.
firm, and blind father. The old man fire.
quently broke the crockery on which his
food was served. His sens wife com
planned of it, and the son at last deter.
mined to take a block of wood and hew
out-a tray or trough, or which to feed
his father. Accordingly be took his axe
and went to the forest, followed by bis
little son. He found a poplar that looked
as if it wonld suit his purpose and be be.
gan to cns out a block Of the desired
size. Having swung his axe a few mo.
ments, be became weary, and his son
said (:
"Father. what are you going to maker
The father replied : II am going tc
make trough for your grandfather to cal
out off,
The little boy loved his grandfather
very much, ard supposed it all very kind
and said, Il am GO glad, won't it be nice
Father, when you get to be old and blind
| will make a trough for you"
The father, conscience stricken AMI
fearing sorrow for himself, took up hi
axe, returned home, and ever after seem
ed to treat his aged parent kindly.
