as all boys love apples, they soon
gathered up the peaceful missiles and
began to eat them. $50 81 1shiofa
One of the boys, more thoughtful
than the rest, observed how remarka-
BILE it was that the very boys who had
for a long time received nothing but
i'll usage, in mild spirit, without a
word of complaint, had now given
them fine treat of good apples. This
was to them most marvellous treat
ment. They now began to see the
evil of their conduct, and, 3boy-like,
began 10 accuse each other of begin
ming the attack. None were willing
to be regarded as the ringleaders, but
all of, them agreed that very differ
ent treatment in future was due to
such kind and noble-spirited boys.
In their school room they concluded
to send two or three of their boys as
an embassy of peace and good will to
the Friends school, to acknowledge
the wrong they had done, and ask for
giVeness- for so much abusive conduct
We need not add how kindly they
were received, and how cordially the
Friend boys agreed to cancel all past
grievances. The town boys returned
and reported the pleasant result of
their mission, which was received

The Apple War.

There was a boarding school in
Kent for boys Of the Society of
Friends. There were also schools for
other boys in the same town. 1t was
the practice Of the town boys, when
they saw the Friend boys, to shout
after them Quaker, Quaker, and 9TH
er names. This may have been NOR
tifying to the Friend boys, but they
passed ON and reviled not again.
Things were in this state for long
time, until one day the Friend boys
were taken out for a country walk.
and being about to ascend hill, they
observed some Of the town boys at
play near where they had to pass, and
they said, one to another. Now we
shall catch it, and sure enough they
did, and that, too, smartly; for as
soon as the town boys espied them
they shouted out, QuakerE Quaker!
Quack, Quack so long as they could
/ be heard. When the Friend boys
reached the top of the Hill, they deem
ed it a fitting time to retaliate, and
sent down few missiles into the enc
my's camp. This unexpected alarm
startled the town boys. who excla med
Why, these Quakers are pelting Us
with stones" and they vowed revenge,
But a volley of the same sort came
pouring down again upon hem, when,

nights she neither ate nor drank any
thing, but wept in the bitterness of
her soul. The third night as she thus
sat, overcome with suffering, in the
place where her child had died, her
eyes bathed in tears and faint with
grief, the door softly opened, and the
mother started, for before her stood
her departed child. 1t had become
heavenly angel, and smiled sweetly as
innocence. and was beautiful like the
blessed. 1t had in its hands a little
cup that was almost running over so
full was it. And the child spoke:
" Oh, dearest mother, weep no more
for me; the angel Of mourning has
collected in this little cup the tears
which you have shed for me-. If, for
me, you shed but one tear more it will
overflow. L shall have no more rest
in the grave, and no joy in heaven.
Therefore, oh, dearest mother! weep
no more for your child; for it is well
and happy, and angels are its CONF
panionsl y It then vanished. The
mother shed more tears, that she
might net disturb her child's joy in
heaven. se..r
