mother in Elmwood-she lived in q cottage
near the rose bush with q queer old couple,
whose hearts felt kindly towards the orphan,
but who saw nothing in the rose bush beyond
what they might have seen in Q weed. It was
early spring when the child found the bush.
and she carried it rich earth, lifted the poor
twigs with tender hands, and talked to 1t Is If
it were playmate. Rough boys soon discov-
cred why she visited the ruins, and at first they
were a mind to pull mp the bush to see her
weep over their work. They remembered that
she was lame, and they went in and helped her
move the blackened timbers. Day by day the
lame girl watched the bush. When the wind
mosned loudly she trembled for fear it would
ipjure the bush, and when the raindrops fell

Yesterday morning when she hurried down to

Ill TEMPER-It is undoubtedly true, that
more misery is produced among MS by the
irregularities of our tempers, than by real mis-
fort1nes And it happens, unfortunately, that
these irregularities of the temper are most apt
to display themselves at our firesides, where
everything ought to be tranquil and serene.
But the truth is, we are awed by the presence
Of strangers, and are afraid of appealing weak
or ill-natnred when we get out in the world,
and so very heroic lily preserve all our ill-humor
for our wives, children and servants We are
meek when we might meet with opposition,
bat feel ourselves undanntedly bold where we
are sure of no efFectuRl resistance.
