much, and to whom she is always obe-

when she sat reading; Mother, mother!s

Jane ought not to have interrupted
her mother while one was reading, un-
less on some important occasion, which
i'm the present case it was not.

Yes, yes, you may said her mother,

Jane went to work, making great
noise in taking down and putting up the
books. Instead of clearing one shelf at
time, and filling it again before she
cleared the next, shs took down al the
books at once, and as she stood on the
chair to replace them, she must needs
jump down for each parcel, as she set
them up, again. 9ssa.! 10 20

then exclaim, as the volumes came tIIm-

careful, land try to make less noise.'
But for Janelto have carried on any
work without making a great fuss, or

There, mother, just come and see
how much better, that looks she would
say, each time she had filled shelf.
If her mother did not attend at once,
she would go son calling. Mother,

tired of being interrupted, her mother

Her mother then ,hnrried to the fire

near, ratified the shovel and tongs, then
turned over the rug in such manner as
to cause great puff of smoke and dust
from the fire, and then, in the same fus-
sy style, spread it down again. s.sx
THAT is the bustling way of doing it,
said her mother, % sweeping up the
hearth, and brushing off the ashes that
had settled upon the chimliey-piece.
Now I will show you how annoying it

while they are engaged. Let us sup

for the lost thimble. .tis1 IS j

Jaue stood laughing to see her mother
acting in this strange. way. ssia.s
you think it odd for me to act in such
a manner said her mother, but it is
quite as improper ina little girl Ike you.
Now, she continued, Il wish You to
learn the quiet way of doing things, and
then you will be much more useful to
me than YOU are at present, for very Of
ten when there is something that you
could do, lIksay, NO, will do it myself,

will cause me more trouble than she will

Jane had many opportunities through

er,s smile and approving looks, and re-
solved ever afterwards to try, the quiet
way rather than the bustling way.
