JIMMY BROWN;

Br A. n. u.
Jimmy Brown was q little boy Of ten
years. ~ho lived with his grandmothrr in
little los brown cottage. al the end Of the
village OF II. BotA his parents were dead,
xsd Tie old lady had rather q hard time to
get along. or would have had, IL her soul
hsd not been filled with love and truth,
which make the hardest bed easy. and the
plainesl fare delicious. so that though she
had to be very busy with her spinning
wheel, 10 get cloth enough ta cover them,
and do now aud then odd jobs Tor her neigh.
bnrs, yet she had happy, peaceful heart.
aud ensied no one. Resides this. she had
small garden attached to the hossr, which
Jimmy How took nearly the whole care OF.
for grandma was getting TO be rather lame
Tor such work and then Jimmy, yes jim.
N. himself. go med his pretty ehiekens.-
and they were his pride aud delight. lie
glsdly saved them bit oi his own sean,y
breakfast and dinner, but am afraid they
often went supprrlsss to bed. unless they
we're fortunate enough to scratch up te "
worms. or help themselves now and thea
out oi their neighbors' gardens. This lat.
ter practice was sore trial to their young
master, who would gladly have given oi
his own supper any time. if by 90 dsiux he
could have prevented them iron stealing
theirs.
Now Mrs. Browns nearest neighbor was
q rich man, usually called Farmer 6rsy."
lie had broad acres oi well.hIlrd land, and
big barns fall Of corr and hav. and often
flled with spples and potatoes aud all kinds
Of nice vegetables. Tie lived in a large
stone house some distance from Mrs.
Browns. bat his lands stretched way down
the street till they touehed right on 10 her
bit Of a garden, or would IL be had not built
up q high wall 20 protect his rights, and az
Ear as possible prevent any one from even
looking at bis tempting lrsit or ueliciou.
melons or waving corn; he had high,
rough voice. and stern. iron n.icoking lace,
and eyes that made you think of steel every
tune they looked II you, particularly if you
we're boy. lie was, however, considered
al honest and upright man, Who paid every
me his dues aud always kept his word.
Bst in the sight oi God, fear. be was look. /.
Ell upan az both mean and dishonest, for he
certainly did not love his neighbor. or ever
visit the "the widow aud the fatherless, !"
except 10 collect his rents, or 10 iook after
sOme real or imaginary injury TO himself or
property. As Jimmy lived 20 near one Of
ln best fields. he naturally kept close eye
upon him, bot never had been able TO detect
.he slightest loss which he could lay to his
charge.
