contrary. One time he was taken sick and
doctor was called in, who prescribed
among other things, that he should have a
warm bath. Tom rebeIled at this but upon
being told that his life depended upon it,
he consented, and tub of warm water was
at once prepared by his better half, into
which was thrown a liberal quantity of soap.
4 rough towel was then procured, and the
old LADY commenced the task of cleaning,
for once, at least, her lord and master. After
working away tor several minutes, her eyes
were attracted by something bright that
shone through the dirt, and she worked
away with redoubled energy. Another spot
was soon visible little way from the other
and, with light in her eye that told her
joy at the discovery, she exclaimed:
Daddy daddy I'm glad the doctor
told me to wash you; for, as l live, here
are them trowsers that you lost two years
ago. can tell 'em by the buttons.

Let u, forget tie promise of to-m morrow,
Which. oh too well, we know IN gloom may set
Tstus forget the hope that brings but sorrow;
