little house to its foundations; then. .hav-
ing silenced the children Mrs Wonder
proceeded to get supper for the " man. !"
They were the torment of her life
these children and that "man." The
first thing in the morning and, the last
at night she was hurryinQ and working
and contriying Just for them.- No peace
or comfort or rest did she know-nor
they either, as for that matter. 1t was
New Years Eve, and, as is natural with
us all, she had been reviewing her life
for the past twelve months-just as she
had done each NeJy Years Eve for the
last five years, and, just as a great
many of US have been after such ret
respect, she was q good deal discour-

the h,aue lies With samebodv besides
ourselves. and we often feel that if we
could lift the whole world up and set

M An amazing amount of GOOD. Just
as Mrs Wonder felt when She oaye Mt

Itwas two hours before she was able
TO feei that her work was done for the

t;il the crack of doom. and probably at
that important period neither will have
arrived any nearer the same conclusion
than they are now. Mr.. Wonder, as he
smeandered down town at that identical
hour, was wondering What Hannah
could find to do that made her SO cross
and tired all. the time, WHY couldn't
her work be done at six o. o'clock, as was
