Jack Sprouts Conversion.

Jack Sprout swore terrible

angry. 1t was nothing Tor Jack

ence Of his wife, for he was sadly
given to a habit CT profane Ian.
guage. And yet Jack was good
husband, an iLdulgent father, an
industrious man, an accommodating
neighbor, end he possessed many
other eXcellencies of character
which might have made him valu-
able member of society, had 1t not
been for certain loose habits which
had marked his course from child
hood. His parents had been care.
less and proiane before him and
his father had been a tough, rough
customer; so Jack naturally enough,
came up in the same track. But he
was good looking and kind hearted,
and genial, and social, and so he
had gained for wife one of the
very best maidens of our town, as
well as one Of the handsomcst.
Master Freddy Sprout, aged five
years, stood by his mothers side,
with Il sadly begrimmed and tear
streaked face, and his story was
that Solomon Gordon had whipped
him with n stick, and the boys legs
still bore few slight tokens OF the
castigation. Two other boys had
come home with Master Freddy,
and their testimony corroborated
that which the sufferer had given.
Freddy with some of his play
mates, had been throwing stones at
Mr.. Gordon's dog, and one OF til,
missiles hurled by Freddy had hl,
the animal and caused him to how
with pain.
OF course the stone thrown by
such a.tiny hand could not have III
llictcd much injury upon the caiiln,
brute but Solomon Gordon loved
his dog, and when he saw what hat
been done he caught Master Fredd,
and gave him Il llircshing for, b'
il known Solomon Gordon was JUS
such a man as Jack Sprout-warn
hearted, generous and neighborly
but was rougl, IN, dncated' sironI
willed and impulsive.
Jack Sprout put on his hat AM
prepared to sally forth. His lip
were pale aud tightly compressed
and the huge muscles IN his arm
worked like bundles of ropes.
