Toys FOR CHILDREN.-Su Suitable
toys not only amnse children, but
instruct them also. Very early the
little one shows by its selection
and use Of toys the bent ofitS
mind and in what direction its
activities find most pleasure.
Whatever direction they may
take, the parent should at once
remove obstacles, furnish appara
tus, and give the child chance to
develop the. talent struggling for
utterance. A box Of paints, set
of carving tools, dolls and dol!
patterns, a tool chest, scroll saw,
pet animals, garden plot, print
ing press, juvenile books in abun
dance and variety, a playhouse
ali these and more can be had at
trifing cost, and if rightly used
will prove more powerful educa.
tors than the schoolmaster. Many
a boy has become an amateur
carpenter Of no mean order; many

is her recreation and her reward
for work we'll done. A child must

The occupation is pleasant as we'll

sleeves OF which crept half way up
his arms, and a hat that was moth

saw him he was eating a crust out
Of the gutter. She was only a poor
old woman who kept a little shop
for candy and trimmings; but as
she said, he looked a little like
what her Tom might, if he had
grown up and been neglected, and
she couldn't stand it. She called
to him.:
Come here, sonny and the boy
came. Before she could speak
again, he said:
I didn't do it. I amt so mean.
Didn't do what?' asked the old
woman.
Break your winder,' said the
boy, nodding toward a shattered
pane.
why, I broke that myself with
my shutter last night, said the old
woman. I'm not strong enough
enough to lift EN-, that's the fact.
I'm getting DID,
If I'm round when you shut up,
I'll come and do it for you,' he
said. I'd just as soon. What was
that you wanted me for?'
I wanted to know what you eat
that dry crust out Of the gutter
for said she.
Hungry said he. I've tried to
get job all day. I'm going to
sleep in the alley over there when
it gets too dark for the policemen
to see; and you can't have a good
nights sleep without some supper,
even if it is dirty

said the old woman.
That would be begging said
he.
No. said she, you can sweep

put up the shutters for it.

Accordingly she brought him
out a broom, and he did his work
well. Afterward he ate his sup
per with a relish. That night he
slept, not in the alley but under the
old woman's counter
He had told her his story. His
name was Dick he was twelve
years old and his father, whom he
had never seen, was in prison fol
life.
The antecedants were not ele
waiting, but the boy seemed good
The next morning the old woman
engaged a clerk for her small es

they were shocked. A street DO,

A NUT TO CRACK.

There was an old woman who lived in hut
About the size of hickory nut;
The walls were thick and the ceiling low,
And seldom out doors did the old woman go.
She took no paper, and in no book
OF any sort was she seen to look.
Yet she imagined she knew much more
Than an or woman had known before.
They talked in her hearing Of wondrous
things.
Of the dazzling splendor Of Eastern Kings,
OF the mountains covered with ice and snow
When all the valley lay green below.
They spoke of adventures by sea and by
land,
Of oceans and seas by cable spanned,
Of buried treasures but though she heard
She said she didn't believe one word!
And still she lives in her little hut
About the size of a hickory nut,
At peace with herself and quite content
With the way in which her days are spent.
Little it troubles her, I suppose,
Because so very little she knows;
For keeping her doors and windows shut,
She has shriveled up in her hickory nut.
And you, my dears, will no longer grow
II You rest contented with what you know,
But pitiful object you will dwell
Shut up inside Of your hickory shell.
