Aunt Milly, truly l was"
"Just going to, isa very mischiey
GUS fellow, Jenny"
well you can't do thing, withou
just going to do it. can your"
but to be- just going to do IL dozer
times for once doing it, that makes the
trouble"
"Oh, there's enough to make troub,
le."
"And enough to conquer trouble
with. A wide awake girl with .
strong heart
ITS a regular battle, isn't It
Aunty."
IA regular battle between the good
and the bad"
| But don't think my own mother
and brother ought to fight against
me-"
"Do they ?"
Don't they Didn't they make all
the trouble this morning?"
1T seems to me that, Just going to
one Of yoW bosom friends, began the
trouble, and that Impatience, and An
ger, two more Of your companions,
finished the work."
"Oh, Aunty, then you think I'm
the only one to blame"'
1.-The less we think about the fanlts
Of others the better. Our enemies, the
only ones that can really harm us, are
our own faults.'
II see Aunty, you think that II my
room had been In order all the trouble
would have been saved"
That's exactly what I think. And
now suppose you put II in perfect or
der the very first thing you do. Twill
appoint myself supervisor Of your es-
tablishment, if you please-liable to
drop in any time, aud surprise disor-
der, in case you let the fellow in"
but won't Aunty. never fear, :"
and Jenny rem laughing up stairs.
There's nobody that can do better
than Jenny Tanning when she's =
mind to-" said Mrs. Tanning. when
Jenny went up stairs that night, after
having washed the dishes and put the
baby to sleep. II went into her room
towards night, and she had every thing
as nice as 3 pin."
"Yes Was In there myself Those
ferns and grasses that she arranged
showed great deal Of sk i'll cad tasts.n
"They were well enough; but she'd
better been helping me than spending
her time getting tn en-"
Don't you think its well to find
out what child likes, and then, lead
her by innocent indulgence to do what
is hard??n ??n
I'm sure I've no objection to any
body's dnding out anything. they
please, that's got time. l notice that
nobody hunts round much to find out
my likes or dislikes."
AT least Jane, wouldn't 1t be q
good thing to tell Jenny when she's
done we'll l2,'
"She knows when she's done we'll,
what's the use in making a fuss about
it,
but supposing little praise makes
her both better and happier, and helps
you in training her,"
Mother my bed amt made" came
in loud tones from Dick, at that mo-
ment, aud the question remained un-
I'm afraid procrastination has sto-
len great deal of time in this house,
aud that poor Jenny ism t the only suf-
ferer," murmured Aunt Milly, az Mrs.
Tanning went up stairs.
I'm glad you're going 10 have
chance to see John" said the mother
coming down after few minutes ab-
sence He's always been such
to me. don't think that boy
ever caused me minutes trouble"
Il remember very we'll what a fine
fellow he was. havn't seen him in
five years" was the reply.
"Oh. he's grown so much since then.
He's taller than his father now, and
such fine strong fellow. Milly,' and
Mrs. Fanning's look grew intense, II
believe should die II that boy should
be taken away from me. l couldn't
|ive-I wouldn't"
.You have other children, Jane"
They're SO different. Milly. John
is always trying TO help me and he's
40 patient that / sometimes wonder
where he got his disposition. But it's |
not stupid patience. He's the best
scholar in his class, and the best in
everything. Things always go deal
when Johns home"
Patient love makes the hardest
road smooth" said Aunt Milly, rs ii
TO herself; aud Mrs. Fanning heard
tbs words, and she thought Of them
more than once before she went to
sleep.
II think you will have All ally when
John comes home,' said Aunt Milly |
TO Jenny, rs the two were pairing early
apples for pies.
IAN ally, Aunty?"
Eyes, somebody to fight on your
.idsn
"Oh, Aunty, you don't know John.
He never did anything wrong in his
life, and he always takes mothers part |
when I'm bad after she scolds me-"
but Jenny l believe we agreed
that the battle isn't between you and
your mother. think we located the
enemy in another quarter. AS for
Johns never doing wrong, don't be-
ieve he would say that"
"Well, they don't call it wrong
when John does it. May be that's it
He's always right and I'm always
wrong, it don't make much difference
how you fix it."
II 'spose John don't throw brushes
At peoples heads"
That's because nobody provokes
him"
"Grant that for the sake Of the argu-
ment. But why does nobody provoke
him ?"
because they love him, suppose.
"Now, for instance. you got into
trouble the other day about your room.
Does John ever need to be scolded for |
