your hands! Oh, what awful dirty
hands,"
"The hands will wash and the face
will COOL" said Uncle Reuben. 81
think that when mother comes home
and sees the pretty curtains in the
windows, she won't complain of either
hands or face"
Tired little Josie looked rested al.
ready, as Uncle Reuben lifted her up
to kiss her crimson face. and when
dinner was over she went to work
with great zeal. Aunt Lottie had Of
fered to give her half ofthe money and
let the boy finish the hair, but she
would not consent; and although she
had to sit alone-for her aunt dared
not bring the delicate embroidery with
which she was busy near flying threads
of hair dust--she went bravely on.
Oh, how the little back did ache, and
how the little brown eyes did sting.
But when Uncle Reuben came in
again at sunset, the work was done,
and the weary child lay asleep in her
chair. He stepped up very softly to
her side, and laid bright new dollar
note in her lap.
Never was there a happier heart
than Josie's when, after supper, he took
her out to walk, and let her buy, with
her own hard-earned money, the cur
tains for mothers room.
Yes, she was happier just once in
her life, and that was when her mo-
ther, going up to her room when she
returned from her journey, asked
"Why, who put those pretty curtains
up here?" And on hearing from Aunt
Lottie Of her little girls unselfsh
love, took her in her arms and said,
"My own blessed, darling child! I'd
rather have these than the finest cur
tains that ever hung in palace"
Spirit of the age. [volume] (Woodstock, Vt.) 1845-1913, 1872-11-21

There was a furry of good-byes, a
hosting of trunks, a welcoming of
friends on the shore, and glad hurry
ing to and fro,
Among the rest was an instant's
nesting of Miss Armours lips on my
cheek, and little cling of her hand in
mine, the vanishing or smile, and
she was gone like the flash of a FREELY,
out of my sight forever. But wherever
she is, and however she fares, she has
the daily blessing of two middle-aged
hearts, whose way to each other she
unconsciously lighted. - Chambers
JOTnal.
