A Polite Little Boy.

Sixty or seventy years ago children
were trained both at home and at school
to be far more msnnerly than they are
now. No little boy ever thought of going
into a neighbours house without pulling
off his hat, tucking it under his arm, and
making a bow. Making your manners, +"
they called it.
Little Calvin had been thus trained,
and, though only three or four years old,
always did so when he went anywhere.
He had never been to church, and, as
his mother was making him suit of
clothes that he ght go, puzzling ques-
ton came into his Little head, Ought he
to make his manners when he went into
church,"
He wanted to ask some one, but, like
many other people, he was ashamed to
ask what seemed so simple question.
The Sunday morning came, and still
he had not found out what to do.
I'LL be on the safe side" he thought
to himself. cit can't do any harm.
So, when fairly inside the church door,
he tucked his hat under his arm, squared
up, and made his manners.
l dare say there were some to smile at
the odd sight; but 1 think the good
Father to whose worship the church was
consecrated, was pleased with this act Of
politeness in the innocent little boy

Reading for Mother.

There is nothing in the recollections of
my childhood that look back upon with
so much pleasure as the reading aloud of
my books to my mother. She was then
a woman Of many cares, and in the habit
Of engaging in every variety of house
hold work. Whatever she might be do
ing in kitchen or dairy, or parlor, she
was always ready to listen to me, and to
explain whatever I did not understand.
There was always with her an undercur-
rent Of thought about other things, ming
ling with all her domestic duties, tighten
ing and modifying them, but never lead
ing her to neglect them, or to perform
them imperfectly. 1 believe it is to this
trait of her character. that she owes the
elasticity and ready social sympathy that
still animates her under the weight of
almost four-score years. How much l
owe to the care and sympathy she gave
to my childish years, cannot measure.

A Bad Case.

Dolly is very i'll There is no doubt
about that at all. Her little mother is so
anxious about her that she quite forgot to
take off her bonnet when she came in.
She found her dead child lying behind
the door, looking so miserable that she
was very sure something had happened,
before she picked her up to find that one
of her pink kid slippers and white stock
ings did not get up with the rest of her
body, for it was broken short off.
There was great weeping and wailing
in the nursery then, for Mother Amy sat
down with her apron over her face and
cried and cried, until she heard a knock
at the door and funny "Ahem - as if
some grown-up man was clearing his
throat. Amy looked up.
Good morning, ma am, said very
deep, gruff voice. Is there any one sick
here?"
For moment Amy forgot her woes,
and a little smile stole around the corners
of her mouth; for in the door stood such
strange fgurel He had on blue swal-
low-tail coat, at least seven sizes too large
for him, for the tail came quite down to
the tops of his shoes, and his sleeves had
to be doubled quite back to the elbows to
let his hands through. On his venerable,
curly, yellow head was very tall hat
that fell quite down over his bright blue
eyes and rested on his funny snub nose {;
and so very strait did he stand, and so
grave was his freckled face, that any one
would have mistaken him for the family
doctor, if they hadn't seen the twinkle Of
his eye while he was trying so hard not
to smile, or notice that he wore knee
pantaloons under his long coat, that were
finished off with bright red stockings.
Good morning, ma am, he said again.
Did l hear that any one was sick here?''
:" Oh, doctor, come right inl" said
Amy, remembering her woes. my eldest
daughter is very sick-see," holding up
the broken leg, "she has just lost her leg;
1T happened while 1 was down in nam
mas room. think Curley must have
chewed it off; it looks as if it had been
chewed. What shall do for her? You
see, l was down in mammals room dress
ing up in Grandma Halsey's clothes, and
L heard growl, and I knew that Curley
must be doing something; and 1 ran up
stairs, and here was this poor, dead,
lovely child of mine with only one leg
on"
: "A very bad case" said the doctor
shaking his head. "a very bad case in
deed. You'll have to use little of the
oil of thread and needle lancet to get it
on again. And she had better have
dose of medicine out of this bottle every
five minutes. And I tell you what it is,
Amy, I'll hold Amelia Maud while you
sew her leg on, and I'll give Curley
thrashing the next time l can find him
for eating your doll. Come, hurry up,
and then we'll 60 downstairs and finish
dressing up. Don't look funny?'
Very much cheered by Toms SYM
pathy, Amy hunted up needle and
thread, and the two children soon had
Amelia Maud's legs quite as useful to her
as ever. The only difference between
her legs being that they had sewed the
broken leg on with black silk. But as
as Amy said afterward, "That was good
thing, because she could always tell
which leg to feel sorry for. "-Chmchman.

A Royal Hymn.

Nell and 1 were having quiet talk
in the library. "He was a king, and
wrote hymn" Al heard us say.
If that was all he did I don't care to
hear about him." cried the little brother
upsetting a large study-chair and climb,
! ing step-ladder till his head touched
the ceiling.
There are lots of nice things to hear, u
said Nell. He lived thousand years
ago, in England, Al; and you ought to
be glad to know; you are his namesake. y
A thousand years ago, and he had
my name?'' said Al.
He was Alfred the Great, king Of
England" said Nell. Count on Your
ten fingers all that say about him. He
was the youngest son of four brothers,
and favorite with the king, his father,
but not spoiled. The historians saws he
had good, sensible mother"
Did she make him go to school ?" AL
asked, getting interested
Children were not much troubled
with school in those days." said Nell.
" Alfred was twelve before he could read.
One day he and his three brothers were
sitting in their mothers room hearing
her read from Observation-Disclosures
book of poetry. 1t was not printed; no
one understood printing in those days
{ 1 will give this to the one who can
learn to read first, said the mother
Alfred went that same day to find a
teacher. Very soon he knew how to
read and so received the book

When boy he went twice to Rome
and once to Paris, said Nell. "He was
only twenty-three when he became king.
Do you think that was grand, Al? He
had warlike time. The Danes were
roaming all over his kingdom, fighting
his poor subjects. Look on the map
see how easily they could cross from
Denmark. Alfred was fine soldier.
but he got into such trouble that he was
obliged to disguise himself and hide in.
the cottage of one of his poor cowherds.
The wife of this man, you know, set him
to watching cakes; but he was so busy
with his bows and arrows, and thoughts
of the cruel Danes, that he let the cakes
burn. You are ready enough to eat
the cakes, though you are too lazy to
watch them, exclaimed the angry
woman. She did not know she was
talking to her king.
"The next we hear of Alfred. he
was dressed as a minstrel, playing a
harp.

many time This was how he found
out their plans, and the way to fight
them
"soon the English conquered the
Danes, and the two nations became
friends, and Alfred was safe on his
throne. But he was not an idle king.
He thought all the time how to make his
people happy. He made law that the
children should be sent to school; he

Sister Oda, known in the world as
Mary Ann Smith, who is daughter of Mrs.
Ellen Smith, OF this city, died In
Loretto academy, at St. Louis,
day before yesterday. She was
born and raised in Cairo and was known.
and beloved by large circle OF acquain. =
ances here, who sincerely mourn her death
She was gentle, loving, patient, forebearing,
greattul and, above all, truthful. Before
entering the academy and when yet quite
young, she was Of a serious but not somber
turn of mind; was Indifferent to many
things that are generally alluring to girlish
tastes and loved home and its quiet and
peaceful ways. Her self sacrificing labors
were many, as are the labors of all those
similarly situated and for these, too, she
will be remembered and missed by a host
OF friends. In her last days the good sisters
OF the academy and all the dear and
kind friends of the great city we're unceas-
ingly busy IN smoothing the way OF this
sweet and gentle-tempered woman down
to the dark valley-yet not a dark valley
to her, but flower. strewn, sky-lighted
pathway to home of blissful rest and
everlasting joy Her relatives and friends
left yesterday morning to attend the fun
eral, which takes place IN St. Louis to-day.
