Two Pictures.

Many years ago an italian artist, while
wandering through the streets of his
native city, saw little boy whose coun-
tenance bore beauty SO wondrously
pure that, in contemplating it, he for
got the troubles and anxieties thrust
upon him by peeuniary embarrassments

features" soliloquized the srtist
" VIII you come to my studio, my lit
tie lad? 1 should like so much to paint
your picture"
Most willingly the boy accompanied
the painter and soon enjoyed the pretty
sight of another little lad-his second
self-smiling down upon him from the
artists easel.
The painter often sank his every
thought in contemplation of the lovely
picture. When the bitterness of life
made him weary of living, he needed
but to lift his eyes to the beautiful pic
ture that graced the wall of his studio,
and it's look of innocence and hope
would drive the shadows of despair
from out his heart and fill it with hap
piness. Many were the offers to buy
the portrait of the lovely child but
the artist, though often in want, stead
fastly refused to sell "his guardian
angel" as he called him.
Years passed. Many times as he sat
and gazed upon the blooming beauty
of the face before him, the artist ques.
toned himself as to the probable fate
of the pretty child. "I would like tc
see him once again; would like to sec
how he looks" He would say to him.

threatening Children.

Being once in company with mother
and her three children, we observed
one of them, a boy about six years old,
who was particularly unruly and mis-
chievous. At one act of his rudeness
his mother, being somewhat excited,
turned to him and threatened to punish
him severely if he should repeat it, In
few minutes the little fellow did pre-
cisely the same thing, and as the mother
did not notice it, we ventured to say to
him, "Did you not hear your mother
say she would punish you, if you did
that again 2" The urchin, with the ex-
preston of bravado on his counte-
nance, quickly replied, "Pm not afraid;
mother often says she'll whip me, but
she don't do it." The mother smiled,
as if her lit e boy had really said a
smart thing; but, alas she was teach
ing him o lesson of insubordination
which would probably make her heart
ache. Mother, never unnecessarily
threaten; but when you do threaten, be
careful not to falsify your word.

begged for money, for he was both a
beggar and o thief. 5
"Come with me to my studio; let me
paint your portsit, and will pay you
what you may demand"
The youth followed the artist. When
the sketch had been completed, and he
had hidden In his pockets the coins the
artist gave him, the beegar turned to
go. As his gaze fell upon the picture
of the little boy he started as if stung
by serpent; while his eyes sc tened
riveted on the painting, he paled as il
in death. 1t seemed as though he'd
ask question, but tears appeared to
choke his utterance. He pointed to the
picture, and, throwing himself down on
his knees, he wept and walled aloud.
"Man, man, what ails you3' asked
the astonished painter.
"But twenty years ago you bid me
come to you, as now, and then, as now,
you portrayed me; see-yonder face was
then-mine own and now? You see
me wreck-a ruin-a human being,
so degraded that all the pure, the good,
will turn their faces in disgust r'
The astonished artist could hardly
credit the testimony of his senses.
"But tell me man, whence this terri
BILE changer"
The youth told his sad story An
only son and of great beauty; his pa.
rents spoiled him; bad companions
taught him their vices brothels and
gambling dens became his home, until
he had lost his all, and then-unable,
or, rather, unwilling to work, and, as
yet, ashamed to beg, he began to steal !;
caught in the act, he was thrown into
prison; and then he went on to tell
how each bad act appeared to contain
the germ of another-appeared to
create the desire aye, the necessity to
commit another and worse one.
His story, as told by himself, sounded
terrible and brought tears to the paint
er's eyes. He adiured the youth to
give up his felonious career, and offered
his assistance in so doing. His kind
endeavors came too late; sickness, the
consequence of vice and dissipation,
threw the unhappy youth upon bed
of pain. He died before he had an op-
portunity to prove the sincerity of his
repentance.
The artist placed his portrait by the
side of that beautiful boy; and when his
patrons asked him why he put so terri
BILE face beside another of such won--
drous beauty, he answered, sadly: "Be
tween yon demon and yon angel, thele
are but twenty years of vice" Wm.

Fnn Cnro ot Poultry.

Take care of the early Matched pullets.
At no time will they bear neglect. The
early hatched are to produce eggs in
the late autumn and early winter
months. A mistake that many make
in the management of their poultry
land it is a grievous one) is turning
fowls off to shift for themselves at this
season of the year. 1t is a sensitive
period with the old fowls as we'll as the
young. The old birds, if worth any
thing at all for egg production, have
been laying eggs for the past six or
eight months, and their strength is
nearly exhausted. The body requires
the stimulus of strong feed. The new
feathers are forming. In fact August
and September are the two most criti-
cal and trying months in the whole
year, for it is the regular molting sea-
son for the majority of fowls, both old
and young. They must be kept MP
all through this season. This prae-
tice, as a rule, holds good with
all egg producing breeds, and if eggs
are not produced their flesh is ever in
demand, either at home or market. A
pound of chicken meat is easier made
and at less expense than a pound of
beef, and by many persons it is greatly
preferred. Farmers need not depend
on the butcher as long as fowl can be
raised so easily. Fowls do not pass the
final molt until September, and if late
hatched the period is further post
poned. Many late hatched birds come
to maturity before being half grown /;
before attaining the full size intended
for q grown bird maturity is attained.
Disease or weakness frequently dwarfs
the fowl and renders it valueless. None
except thoroughly healthy and full
grown fowls should be used for breed
ing. Health, cleanliness and good feed
should be expended at this season, so
that the pullets may attain their full
size without drain on the system. The
older require attention also, that they
NAV keep up the production of eggs
and retain sufficient strength to molt
before cold weather sets in. Another
very necessary thing at this season is to
look we'll to the roosts and keep them in
a cleanly condition. AS the warm
weather approaches a certain portion of
the vermin leave the body and congre-
gate in concealed hooks and erevices OF
the roosts during the day time, and
come forth to prey on the fowls at night.
These roost lice are quite prevalent IN
neglected houses. II not thoroughly
destroyed, they prey on the fowls top
