Arfui Fate of the Little Boy Who TFoMldno
Tuke Castor oil.

,cful Fate of the Little Boy Who Wo"idno
Take Castor OIL.
Once there was a little boy,
His mothers pride, his fathers JOY.
A right good-natured lad was he,
And hale and hearty as could be.
But once upon an autumn day,
He pushed bis dinner plate away
81 cannot eat today" he said,
81 feel an aching in my head
His mamma, experimenting harm,
Sent for the doctor in alarm.
The doctor came-"Our littleiNed
Is somewhat sickly, ma'am," he said;
<.In order the disease may foil,
He must imbide some castor OIL"
But Ned declined and shook his head
II hate that horrid oil" he said.
In vain his mamma, dear. implored;
In vain his papa ripped and sWored
they couldn't get the oil down Ned
<'No oil for me-" he firmly said.
so thinner, thinner every day,
lie faded quietly away.
No pies, no cakes, no bread, no meat
Did he have appetite to eat.
And all in vain his ,parents toll
10 make him take the caster oil
That nOstrum that would ease his pain
and make him well and brisk again
But Ned refuscd-so naught could save
The child from an untimely grave;
And thinner, thinner, day by day,
He faded like dream away.
Till one night by the parlor fire
Sat Edward ready to expire
The draft was strong and fercely drew
And sucked him up the chimney due.
Ills poor mamma VENT ncarly wild.
And loud beWailed her foolish child.
But Ned wcni sailing here and there,
The sport OF currents in the air
Forever tossed bv cruel winds,
No peace. no resting place he finds
And as he tumbes in the skies
"Oh, give me castor Oil ~ he cries.
ITO late! Too laten' the wind replies.
How often in you trundle bed
Have you, my Child, heard foolish Ned
Call down the chimney, hoarse and slrill
In tones that made your hcartstrings thrill
Or on the frosted window pane
Come tapping once and once again?

JACK.

Jack was very small for his age. lie
was just seven years old, and yet he
could only just see into the shop win
dows or above the table IL he stood on
tiptoe. Not that he had any table to see
above as a rule, for he and his mother
had no home. They spent their time in
wandering about the streets, trying to
sell lunches Of flowers for a penny
aiece, and were glad enough sometimes
70 get even warm doorstep to sleep
on az night. You think doorstep
never could be warmP Yet some door
steps are warm compared 10 Others on
bitter nights when the keen wind drives
all one way.
II was just such night in January
when Jack and bis mother had come to
their very last penny.
II was Sunday, and they watched the
ladies' in their silks and furs coming
daintily down the steps, with light
shawls held before their mouths (for The
wind was in the east) and stepping in to
their easy, warmly lined carriages, and
then driving of.
After watching them for some time in
the different streets, Jack grew very
cold. He had only thin, old shirt on,
worn into holes, and little jacket, out
at the elbows, and q torn pair Of trows-
ers that hung In rags about his ankles,
80 that, as whole, his garments FORM
ed no great protection against the wind.
He shivered dismally, and his teeth be-
gan to chatter, while he tucked his lit
tie blue hands under his arms to try to
make them warm.
"Mother," be said at last, sits rare
and cold. Can't US get anywhere warm
to sleep in to-nightP"
mo-" she answered, sswe've only q
penny left, and we shall both want some
thing 70 eat; we can't be warm and
have bread, Jack that'd be too much, y
and she laughed faint, dreary laugh.
Jack thought for long time, then he
spoke again. Mother, where do AL
them ladies gopf
To church,
Aye; but what Il church?-
"a great place, all lighted up, where
they have music, and where all the rich
folks sits and listens, and are warm and
comfortable

one night, and said you wasn't going
againPn
The woman laughed little. ssNo;
should rather think not. Why, places
like that amt open on Sundays
