Mamma, Miss De1ihcr's gone home
and lei, her Wild plAnth, said tiny Tom
Perrieastle, peepiug into the parior the
following day, while bis mother was re-
eeivlng . morning call.
The morning caller seized upon the
mentioned name at once. Her curiosity
had been excited by rumor Of Mrs. Per-
ricastle's guest, and the interview with
the disrepu table Deming, which she had
witnessed in the church porch. She had
a hundred questions 20 ask, aud as she
was not OF the peaoe-making sort, Mrs.
r., 10 answering these questions, found
herselfgrowing more and more suspicious
OF Miss Dexter, and more aud more, TO
use her own expression, Indignantly
wrought mp.
TIE result was she felt constrained to
write to several patrons Of Misc Dexter's
infant class that circumstances, singular
ly brought to her knowledge, compelled
her to believe Miss d. not the proper per-
son to have charge Of infant minds, We
cannot, she wrote, be TOO careful into
what influences we introduce these pre-
oious buds.
Edward EltiDg did not relax his allec.
tionate csre OF the poor little widow aud
her troublesome brood, who recognized
the authority of Uncle Ed, even though
they rebeled against all other.
One night, after an unusually severe
case OF discipline, during which the Of.
tenders had been sent iguominiously TO
bed, Jenne drew her chair confdingly
near his and said:
Brother Ed, you are always SO willing
TO help people who are IN trouble, | wish
you would help somo one who interests
me very much, or at least give me some
advice how may help her
Not since her husbands death bad Jen.
ME looked so like herself as now, IN
speaking these words. Her pale face
lost for the moment its expression OF
all-absorbing grief
You know Miss Dexter, Mays and
Kittie's teacher, she went on, or at least
you have heard us speak Of her. Wei,
she has been here to-day, aud she is in
great trouble. The school was to have
opened tomorrow, but it appears that
more than half of her scholars have been
taken away. She does not know why.
She came TO me TO ask if | would send
my children, In view of tho possibility
that the class might not be sustained
through the term. declare, my heart
ached for her, She said not much Of
her troubles, but | know she bad been
cruelty overburdened she shows it, A
year ago she was quite young and pretty;
now she has that old look, the look that
comes with-that comes with Jennie
paused. Her eyes filed with tears, her
lips quivered.
Oh Edward! she exclaimed, | have
been ungrateful. | knew that to-day,
when | was listening TO that lonely op.
pressed girl. With my babies clingiug
to me-little hands on my knees, my
cheeks, my breast-they ought to sustain
me. All, other hearts than mine are
bleeding must not forget this in my
desolation. | promised her May aud
Katie, and perhaps little Eddie, If you
think so. Aud went into Mrs. Grang-
er's, and she will send Lotlie, But these
are very small additions-only two, and
che has lost sixteen.
Has che secured her classroom? asked
Edward.
