"Aud how much did they cost ?"
Ten cents apiece"
"Ten cents spiece | d,cale. Ara
bella. it j. perfectly sppaliing tho way
yen spoil papa. If you are hungry. sir.
20 to Bridget and get somo bread and
butter. and don't let me hear any Eore
OF cigars 1T ten cents apiece. Stop! Can

And send you 10 the Office every
day Take u slate and pencil. sir, and
don't let mo hear you speak until you tell
me- what three cigars day. at ten cents
each, will como to in a year."
With a hszy recollection OF iuilicting
similar penance upon Tommy, when n
question of candy was under discussion.
Mr. Martyr meekly took the slate, and
multiplying ten by three, and three hun
drod ana sixty. five by thirty. arrived at
the conclusion that the cigars thus allow
uuccA would cost one hundred and nine
dollars and fifty cents in one year.
ut Tommy knew how often | smoke
six or eight, and as often at fifteen.
twenty, or twenty five cents rs ten, how
many friends smoke at my expense sew
eral times a week, what would ho say ~
thought Mr.. Martyr. II guess | wont
say any more about cigars now. I'll
read awhile"
S,oalthily reaching for the book whose
pages had held him interested till late
hour tho previous evening, he was deep
in the narrative. when q shadow fell
across tho book.
''Whut are you reading ?' cried Ara
bella. snaiching the book. "Another
book of travels! How often have | told
you that it is waste of time to read such
books? Come, sir, have you studied The
lesson | gave you this morning? No. |
thought not! How many miles above
The level OF the sea is Mon; B.anc?'

"Yon DO! 10 what year did Cromwell
begin 10 reign IN Eas!and?'
