JOE'S LIKENESS. Ia go
Mrs. Peach and her SON Joe set of one Sat-
urday afternoon to do some shopping at their
nearest market town. The purchases to be
made were chiefly for Joe, who was leaving
home the next week to 60 and settle with his
uncle, who was glazier, and had offered to
bring the boy up to his trade. Joe was but
rough country lad, and had only hitherto
worked on farm, so this seemed to him
rise in life, and his mother was anxious to
start him respectfully as far as clothes went.
"Youn want q new cap and jacket for Sun
days, let alone shirts, stockin's, and such like.
But I've saved enough to buy what Is needful,n
said the good woman as they walked along.
'sYou must have pair o. smarter boots, too"
"You'n be spendin' q vast amount o. money
on me, mother" said honest Joe, more mind
full of the drain upon the slender family means
than Of the prospect of his grand new clothes.
'I'm thinkin' as it will pinch you sore for
yourself and the little 'uns." ... IT,.
'Ne'er mind US, lad ;" answered Mrs. Peach
cheerfully, ''we1l do well enough. But you
must not go and forget on us"
"Forget you'll no fear o that" said Joe,
warmly. "Maybe as might forget just what
you look like, though" he added with
chuckle, for he had scheme in his head, and
this was his way of opening it to his mother
and gaining her consent. -.
81 don't think as I'll forget the look O. you,
Joe, /" she said, little reproachfully.
Joe chuckled again. "But might of you,"
he persisted, 'and wouldna' like that; 90,
mother, I've saved up Shillin', and want
20 vvsth vv,s 70 fbo EIrav,
man and have your pictur' took" 90
-"My pictur'! Why, what should an old
woman like me have her pictur' took forw
cried Mrs. Peach, with q laugh, but by no
means displeased for all that. 49,
"Why, for me, to be surev' said Joe. "And
you are not old, mother, and you look hand
some in your best plaided shawl.
This argument had come weight. Mrs.
Peach smoothed down the folds Of her cotton
gown, wishing it had been her "Sunday stud"
and thought to herself what lucky thing it
was that she put . clean cap under her black
bonnet. But she said: 80
'Id rather have you took, lad, nor me"
Joe was cunning in his answer. "Nay, you
won't forget the look O. me, you say, 80 why
should you want my picturW
'I'd like it too" she said. e
"But there's on'y one shillin', }" was the re-
ply, and it was conclusive; there was nothing
further to be said. .#
So, before the shopping was done, and while
yet the day was bright, the two found them
selves in the presence of Mr.. Jones, the photo
grapher Of the place, and very shy they both
