A Sardine Story.

In one of the cities of New 1amp-
shire, some years since. a man named
H. was elected MAYOR. and very i'm
poriant he thought his position. Dur
ing his term of office fire company
sent word that they should visit his
city and remain several days. The
MAYOR called meeting of the city
council to see what should be done to-
ward entertaining them. lie wanted
to show the hospitality of the city in
its most muuificent form. and propos-
cd that collation. should be given the
strangers.
And what" asked one of the alder
men, "do YOU propose TO put on the
table for the collation. 2"
"We'll give Them" said his honor in
reply. "hot coffee and sardines."
One Of the council thought that sar
dimes and coffee were hardly up to the
mark of hungry tiremcn.
II know better" cried the mayor in
an angry tone. "Sardines are hearty
and will be just what the men need
.Perhaps." said an alderman, "his
honor does not know what sardines
are"
The mayor sprang TO his feet, angry
all over.
Il know" he shouted, "what sar-
dimes are rs well as you do. or any
other member of the board. I've eaten
enough of them in my life. They are
easily prepared. just take two pieces
of bread and put piece of ham be-
tween them, and then your sardine is
made"
His honor sat down amid roar OF
laughter.

Happy Children.

AS house-plants cannot flourish with
out sunshine, so children cannot
thrive and be happy without love.
How radiant are their bright faces, as
they respond to tones and words of
affection from the lips of their parents !!
Little they know of the deep solicit
tude. of the constant care exercised to-
ward them: but they do fully under
stand and appreciate protestations of
love and tenderness. Why should we
be chary of these, when they cost on
" speaking 81 know now" said la
dy not long ago, 'that mother loved
me tenderly. but during all my Child
hood doubted it. If | were really
dear to her, | quericd. why did she
never tell me so! Why did she never
caress me and assure me of her love?
She bought her actions spoke loud
enough, without words. ! could not
read her actions then as | can now,
and how | longcd to hear her call me
loving names, and to have her wrap
me in the sweet embrace of her strong
mothers love" Many little heart
aches just rs this lady's did, and can be
made happier by the spontaneous ut
terances of maternal affection than 10y
beads or dolls, fine clothes, or costly
TOYS.
Children who grow up in this con-
slant atmosphere of love are rarely
mischicyous, never vicious. The
mightiesi of all agencies t., keep the
young in paths of virtue is in the hands
of parents. and TO command this agen-
cy they need but give expression to
the natural overflow # their hearts.

agement and praise. II is not enough
