When. Pstty was very. very little
girl, she one day took it into her curly
head to run away.
Her mother was busy at work and did
not miss her until she had been gone
some minutes. Then she looked out and
saw Patty's pink dress, like little flow
er, moving along slowly away down the
dusty road.
There was no one to send for the rum
away, SO the tired mother had to leave
the bread burning in the oven, and the
baby crying in the cradle, and start out
herself in the hot sun.
There was an old man coming along
the road toward Patty, an old man that
she knew very well, but was really afraid
Of him.
She need not have been, for he was
kind and pleasant; but he was queer,
simple old man, and everybody called
him old Daddy Morse.
Patty was SO afraid that she turned
out Of the road and went along close by
the fence to get by him.
He saw the little girl was running
away, however, and, in the kindness Of
his heart, he went and picked Patty up
to carry ner back, and save her mother
the long, warm walk.
How frightened and angry little Patty
wasl How she did kick and scream
The old man held on all the same,
and tried to soothe her by gentle words;
but he might as well have talked to a
thunder-shower.
She screamed as loud as she could till
she met her mother and found herself
safe in her arms, and even then she
sobbed and cried for a long time.
Her mother talked to her about run
ming away, told her it was naughty, and
that Daddy Morse was very kind to
bring her back, but Patty still sobbed
and sighed, and could not get over her
fright.
She shut the outside door, and stood
by the window watching in fear that the
old man would come again.
Pretty soon her brother Allie came
whistling across the yard. Patty opened
the door little crack. "M'in, Allie,
she said, in trembling voice. "Mar
bite zee !"
Then her little kitty came around thc
corner. "M'in, kitty" she called. "Mal
bite 'ee!n-Y Youths Companion.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS.
BIZ JENNIE JONES.

All vent well in our lodge that even
mo untilit wasannounced, eve viii now
take up the order Of unfinished bust
ness. Then there was notable lack
Of interest, and every one seemed busy
in whispering to his neighbor, and what
ever was the subject Of his conversation
ii was very evident tnat it did not per-
tain to ihe " unfinished business" before
tile house. No one seemed to know
inst where the lodge had left of, or
where it designed to begin the circum-
stances had changed, and that which
Lad once given interest to the subject
was past, and in measure forgotten.
And am quite certain that great deal
Of tic unfinished business will remain
unfinished still, to the end Of the chap
Ter,
In every turn in life it is the same.
How much is begun but never finished
And it il not that which is begun but
TINT which IS completed that constitutes
our success. No matter how brilliant
tic beginning, only the thing in its
completeness will be accepted by the
world. Sometimes an unfinished poem
Or sketch, or a partially completed
drawing, contains touches Of genius not
found elsewhere, but they never live
ana arc loved like those which are
rounded and complete.
When we see a person who is full Of
brilliant beginnings but Of little perse-
yerance, we see one that will, in all
probability, pass through life disap-
pointed and unsuccessful man or wom-
an. Another, beginning in smaller
way and apparently with less prospects,
by steady perseverance, will eventually
accomplish that in which the other has
failed.
1t is not genius, hardly is it toll it is
not luck, but persistent " stick-to-a-
tiyeness' that is the surest to win sue
cess IN this life.

THE tradition that Cologne Cathedral
would never be finished took its rise as
follows: A young architect in despair
at the refusal OF his plans BY Archbishop
Conrad vent to the bank Of the Rhine
meditating suicide, when there ap-
peared the devil himself, who offered
him, in exchange for his soul, the plan
Of the cathedral as it stands to-day.
The young man demanded twenty-four
hours for reflection, and submitted the
matter to his confessor, who suggested
that on the morrow, when Satan
showed him again the design, he should
seize IL with his left hand, and, drawing
rapidly relic Of st. Ursula from under
his robe with the right, strike the evil
spirit with it on the brow. This was
done. Satan said "That's cunning
trick Of the church, but the design
which YOU seize shall never be finished,
and your name shall remain unknown.
As he spoke he snatched away the upper
part Of the design. The Young archi-
tect died Of modification without recon-
structing the plan. For years events
seemed to bear ont the old legend.

The cider mill challenged the boys
attention in the fall, when apples were
brought by the cart-load and dumped in
huge piles on the ground, then carried in
large baskets to the hopper, to be CON
verted into pomace. The steady old
horse turned the creaking mill. When
the pomace was put into form and
pressed the sweet juice ran out into
tubs that invite sampling. Cups and
glasses were barbarism /; the only
proper instrument for tasting and test
ing was the long, bright straw. No
cherry cobbler was ever so delicious as
that new cider. It was good sport to
hunt hens eggs, in obscure manger cor
ners, or high hay.mows, or in the tall,
standing grass to see the swarming bees
settle on limb OF the near peach tree,
and watch the process of hiving them /;
to ride on high loads Of fragrant hay to
trap the sly woodchuck, and sec his grit
as prisoner; to follow the haryesters
afeld, and stack the clean oat-sheaves
in G Shocks" and to see the same oats
1y from under the alternating fails.
About the best fun of all was III the
huskings ON the great barn floor. Here
were at once activity and repose, indi-
vidual excellence and social enjoyment.
J Every man has his stories to tell. The
gray-haired grandfather receunted his
early exploits, and told how his nimble
feet used to trip those Of heavier and
stronger wrestlers. "Stand up min
ute, he would say to his best hired
man and, taking him by the collar an(
elbow, he would illustrate his youthful
SCIENCE" and send his man totterint
across the floor. Hardly less was TIN
sport of shearing time, when the boy
were allowed to hold the big shears am
trim the sleeps feecy legs. The shear
ing was preceded by general sheep
washing, at the bridge on the nearea
cross-road. 1t was ''high iinks for th
boys to stand waist-deep in the water
pass along the swimming sheep, and civ
the larger lambs useless bath by then
selves.-MGrtin Kellogg, IN Seatemde

The Lullaby.
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheepW
mother Is singing her baby to Hleep,
But the tiny fingers tipped with pearl
Round one another yexaHously twirl
And feet so cunning, 80 rosy and quick,
Are tossing the crib-quilt with punch and kick,
And wide-awake eyes Just as blue as the sky
Are saying to mamma, SIN sleep by-and-byl
And you can't hurt me one wee bit,
Though, trying your sweetest, you patiently ait
And sing by the hour beside mein
Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheepln
Hurry up, darling Do 60 to sleepI
Maybe you'n and in the Land of Dreams
Little Bo-Peep by the shady streams
Waiting for you, with her to go
After her lanbies as white as snow,
Hunting through meadow and glen and dels
To find the dear creatures all safe and well
out where the lovely harebells grow,
Beating and feeding to and fro,
A-swingin' their tails behind emp
Lower and lower the shadow dips
Over the forehead, the cheek, the lips;
Lovelit eyes are closed at last;
Lullaby, hush-a-by song Ii past;
Baby has gone to the land Of dreams,
Hunting Bo-Peep by the shady streams.
Mother, unwearied, her vigil keeps,
Dreaming awake, while her baby sleeps
Dreams which the future, perchance, may bring
To her winsome darling and leave no sting
No waking grief behind them.
Silently, tenderly enter there;
God has answered mothers prayer;
Baby, our baby, to-day has gone
Into country to.us unknown,
There to find, by the shady streams
Which border the city where no ono dreams,
Gifts as costly, as rich and rare,
As ever were dreamed In a mothers prayerl
Oh Jesus, who sung her last, sweet lullaby;
Jesus, the little ones friend, be nigh
To comfort ua. left behind herl
