Kitty's Pocket.
BY M. L. B. BRANCH

BY M. L. B. BRANCH.
Kitty's new dress that her aunt had
sent her had no pocket! Such an
oversight! But aant Fanny had no
little girls of her own, 50 suppose she
didn't know. Kitty tried the dress on,
and when she went to put her hand in
her pocket, and there wasn't any pocket
there, she looked very sober. What
was little girl to do?
"Never mind" said mamma, "I'll
put pocket in this evening, after you
are gone to bed"
$50 I can have it all ready to wear
to school, mammal" asked Kitty.
eyes, dear, it shall be all ready"
So when Kitty was peacefully asleep
in her small bed, mamma drew out
her pretty sewing table, and made
the pocket. She made it nice and
strong, and set it firmly in the new
blue dress. / thought she took toe
many stitches, especially when she
finished by fastening it underneath to
the waist with q strong bit O. jean
sewed with double thread. But
mammas generally know what they
are about.
When Kitty awoke in the morning,
there was the blue dress on chair
by her bed. She looked for the pocket
first thing, and what do you think she
found ia it? A new linen handker-
chief, neatly folded, and penny
No wonder Kitty looked SO happy at
breakfast time.
She went to school at a quarter to
nine, with her little strap OF books, and
when she came home at noon said she
had had splendid time. In the after
noon she went again, and when school
was out played with May Murray and
two or three other girls till tea time.
Kitty was tired enough when she went
to bed, and her brown curly head mad
not nestled in the pillow a minute be-
fore she was fast asleep.
The blue dress hung over the chair,
and mamma went to it and looked In
the pocket. What do you think she
found there? Two slate pencils and
an apple, a piece of molasses candy,
very sticky, q soiled handkerchief tied
up like a rabbit, six prune stones, a
china doll, some red silk, and about a
half cup full of gingerbread crumbs.
Mamma laughed. Then she shook
out the gingerbread crumbs, threw
away the prune stones, laid the molas-
ses candy aside, and put everything
else carefully back into the little peck
ct. The hung the blue dress over the
chair, kissed rosy sleeping Kitty, and
said, like the happy mother she was
"I'm so glad l have a little girl to
look out for, pockets and all. Chris

They've taken away the ball,
Oh dear! ~
And I'll never get 1t back,
And now they've gone away,
And left me here to stay
All alone the livelong day,
In here.

Not his;
For he never had ball
Like this.
Such coward you'll not see,

For the ball,
And somehow it hit his head;
Then his nose it went and bled;
And as if I'd killed him dead,
He did baWl. f..-

Of course there will be jam,
And that lovely potted ham.
How unfortunate l am!
Dear me!
Oh! it's growing very dark

And the shadow in that corner
Looks so queer!
Wont they bring me any light?

EXCESSIVE use of powder is very yul-

finest powders should be used. and
many of them are very injurious to the

is simple rice powder, applied with a
swans down puff; and remove super

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1876.
SONG.
BY A. F.

To dream, and then to sleep
Until the morn return;
An hour of watch to keep,
A little lamp to burn.
To weave but make no end,
To sing and love the song,
Where busy footsteps wend
Among the worlds gay throng.
To know that day is here,
To see that spring has gone,
And summers death is near
And still the hours roll on.
We fail, we fade, we die,
Yet once 'twiXt death and birth
To know Loves kiss, Loves sigh,
Is light of heaven on earth.
My God! thy sun is sweet,
If, ere the twilight come,
Love walk with sacred feet
Across our naked room.

The August Meteors are due about this
time, and for the next few evenings there
will probably be more or less brilliant
display of shooting stars and fire balls.
Within the last ten years, since Professor
Newton, of Yale College, predicted the
fall Of November meteors of 1866, much
has been learned to corroborate the theory
on which his prediction was based, aud to
demonstrate an agreement between the
paths Of the known comets and the paths
Of periodic meteors. The ncbular charac-
ter Of the meteors is inferred from the
fact that, although they fall to the earth
with prodigious velocity, none Of them
reach it in a solid state. The August
meteors are supposed to follow the path
Of Comet III, Of 1862, and the periodic
exhibition generally takes place about the
10th or from the 9th to the 18th of the
month.--Phiiadelphia Ledger.
