Charities Little Cart.

"Oh, dear want a little cart ln sal,
iive-year old Charlie, lying on his back on tn,
floor and kicking bis feet up in the air 3"
don't know what to do, Gran'ma. | want o
cart and nobody ever gets me carts. want
one as big as a mountain, like Uncl,
Peters, to carry my marbles to market in.
Grandma looked round from the little jack
ct she was cutting out, and saw the marbles
rolling all around on the doorstep.
" 1t is time they were gathered in for mar
ket, | declare" she said Next thing som,
one will step on them and fall down. Let.
see if we can't find cart somewhere. How
will this do, Charlie ~
And she took down from the corner cup.

about eight inches long and five inches wide
and an inch and half deep. Grandma had
used it to keep seeds in through the winter
but the seeds were all in the ground now look.
ing out for themselves, and the box was empty
Z" Ho!" cried Charlie, who had jumped up
aud run after her, There amt anything for
the horse to drag it by"
"Oh, you don't know" said grandma
" See bere!" And she took "a gimlet from
the shelf and bored two holes in one end Of
the box, and then fastened long cord in the
holes so that Charlie could harness himself
in, and be little horse.
Charlie was very happy galloping horse
for minute but Grandma had no sooner
got back to the jacket, than there he came
and stood pulling the corner of her apron.
a" Grandma" he said, soberly my little
cart amt cart. 1t says it wants wheels,
and wants four, and they must turn round
"Oh, that's what it says, is it ?" said
dear Grandma didn't understand what
it said Well then, Charlie, run and get me
those two little long pine sticks | see in the
kindling box
Then Grandma took sharp knife and whit
tied the ends of the sticks out small, and
with four of her little carpet tacks she nailed
the sticks on the bottom Of the cart, so that
the sharp ends stood out on each side.
There are the axletrees," she said T; 4" and
now for the wheels"
Charlie couldn't think where the wheels
we're coming from; but Grandma found four
empty spools in her work basket, which she
slipped on the slender axletree ends, and then
drove a tack gently by each one, so it would
not come off,
"Thcre, now, Il is real csrt," she said
" go and gather your marbles for market"
40 Gran'ma you're the best grau'ma for
little boys ever | saw !" exclaimed Charlie
and he was nice little horse trotting of, and
then he was little man by the door step,
picking up marbles and loading his cart, and
then he was little horse again, drawing them
steadily to market under the big arm chair in
the corner.
Now wasn't she a real bright grandma, to
know how to make such nice little cart for
Charlie 2-Sohool Day Visitor.

Lending a Pair Of Legs.

Sometimes We ask people to lend
hand" and sometimes we hear them say "lend
me your eyes" Here is story about boy
who len. pair of legs just to accommodate.
Some boys we're playing at base ball in a
pretty shady street. Among their number
was a lame little fellow, seemingly about
twelve years old-a pale, sickl y-looking child.
supported on two crutches, and who evidently
found much difficulty in walking, even with
such assistance
The lame boy wished to join the game
for he did not seem to sec how much bis in
trinity would be in his own way and how
much it would hinder the progress of such an
active sport as base ball.
His companions, good naturediy enough,
tried to persuade him to stand one side and
let another take his place; none Of them
limited that he would be in the way, but they
all objected for fear he would hurt himself.
"Why, Jimmy" said one at last, "you
can't run, you know"
"Oh, hush !" said another-the talest
boy in the party" Never mind. I'll run for
him, and you can count it for him. and he
took his place by Jimmy's side prepared to
act. :" Ii you were like him. he said aside
to the other boys, "you wouldn't want to be
told Of it all the time"
How many times loving hearts will find
way to lend their powers and members to the
aged, the poor, the sick, and the weak. They
can thus say with Job, ~ was eyes to the
blind, and feet was to the lame" And II
they lend hoping for nothing, the Lord will
reward their fathialness with his blessing.

ask Mrs. Muntle TO step there for moment,
if she pleased.
"Graciousl" thought Mrs. Muntle. "whas

So I've understood, Mr.. Patterson" said
the widow.
And Of course II Is pleasaDter to live that
way than in bachelor lodgings, or at a hotel"
said Mr.. Patterson.
" | should judge it might be-" said Mrs.
Muntle, cautiously.
You judge rightly" said Mr.. Patterson
but you know bachelor must be in the
hands OF servants if he keeps house. A
gentleman don't want that he wants lady
to superintend things for him---some one Of
taste and refinement and all that. Com
mon people don't understand his feelings,
and mercenary servants are a poor depend

:" know that" said Mrs. Muntle.
You are almost as much alone as l,
aren't you, Mrs. Muntle," said Mr.. Pattcr-
son. coaxingly.
"The doctor knew him. He's going to
do it just as he said he would, il he ever
did" said the lady to herself Aloud she
answered
well, sir, | am pretty free, it's true.

81 know money would be no object to
YOU said Mr.. Patterson. " You've enough.
But if were to tell you that hated board
ng-houses and wanted a house, think you'd
have pity on me. Ill buy beautiful house,
and you shall have complete control Of every
thing only do make my strawberry short
cake for me all my life.'
He paused and looked at the lady.
That's delicately put" he thought. "No,
will you hire out for a housekeeper in that,
fancy2"
" 1t amt romantic" thought Mrs Muntle;
" but still we amt young, either of US, and
it gets to be just that with the most senti-
mental after while"
Don't refuse me-" pleaded Mr.. Patterson.
"Well, Mr. Patterson, | WON'T" said Mrs.
Munte " I'm my own mistress, and though
I've never thought of second marriage,
why, | think I'm warranted in making one
And no doubt shall never repent, for
think you've fine disposition, aud under
stand your ways and tastes"
Mr.. Patterson listened. He saw what he
had done proposed and been accepted, with
out having any idea Of what he was about.
He looked at Mrs. Muntlc she was very
nice and fresh and comely, and ten years his
junior, at least if she was forty. He could
not have done better thing, and he would
be married without any troublesome court
ing. So he put bis arm about Mrs. Muntle's
waist and said
I" Thank you, my dear. consider myself
very lucty."
He wrote to his good doctor in about
fortnights time, to tell him that he had taken
both his prescriptions, was q married man,
and intended to bring his bride home about
Christmas.

i want to tell you secret. The way to
make yourself pleasant to others, is to show
them attention. The whole world is like the
miller at Mansfield, "who cared for nobody
no, not he,-because nobody cared for him"
And the whole world would serve you SO, il
you gave the cause. Let every one see that
you do care for them, by showing them what
Sterne SO happily called the small courtesies,
in which there is no parade, whose voice is
too still to tease, and which manifest them
selves by tender and afectionate looks, and
little acts of attention, giving the preference
in every little employment, at the table, in
the field, walking, sitting and standing

There's a kindness In his Justice
Which Is more than liberty.
There Is no place where oarths sorrows
Are more felt than up In heaven
There IL no place where earths faillngs
Have such kindly judgment given.
