A Day at School.

When was little girl and went to a
little school and wore little sun bonnet
and dress and apron and carried little
slate and one or two little books, some
thing happened one day that I can never
forget. Years have come and gone; many
changes came with many years; but that
from my mind.
l must have been about seven or eight
years old when it happened, for my little
reader had in it the story of The Three
Boys nd the Three Cakes" ] remember
our teacher was a tall, handsome woman.
l used to think she must look like a
queen, for she was so beautiful to me.
All day long noisy, mischievous boy
had given her great trouble She watched
him, but did not seem at all angry, only
she look pale and sober. When even
ing came, she called him to her, and said
to him just as kindly and calmly as
though he had been very nice:
Tommie, you have been very bad
to-day, and you must be punished"
We all expected her to- ask him tc
hold out his hand for feruline, but she
didn't. She stopped and looked at hin
a moment then said
i cant strike you, Tommie, you mus
strike me.
Then taking a ruler from her desk she
handed it to him. We all sat in breath
less silence / remember my heart go
| right up into my throat, and ] wanted
to cry. Our teachers face was as white
and still as marble. Tommie shranl
back and would not touch the rule. TIL,
teacher said again:
"Tommie, you must, and laying thu
ruler on his arm she stretched out hei

had begged her niece to withdraw. Helen
said. the instant she had kissed her aunt,
Tell me your objection to the tableaux,
aunt? Why, it is for the benefit of the
mission school that the performance
will be given; and it was planned by
Mrs. Meredith, and l am sure she is a
member of the church. The tickets will
only be sold to the elite, so it won't be a
vulgar audience. How can you disap-
prove OF 1t, Aunt Annie?'
Aunt Annie took the eager, flushed
face between her soft, cold hands, and
her voice was very tender as she said
Because, DEAR in the first place con-
slider it wrong to personate Bible char
acters on the stage, even on so relatively
a private stage as yours will be. And
In the second place it will create love
of theatricals in all the young actors and
actresses, which will have bad effect.
o, Helen, dear, don't do it,
But, auntie, I've promised; and l
would be so sorry to disappoint Mrs.
Meredith--and-and my dress, as Re
bekah at the we'll is lovely. Auntie, l
cannot give it up"
Aunt Annie said no more, but when
her son, Charlie, came in to take his
cousin home she gave Helen one loving
sorrowful look that brought the tears to
her eyes.
a." i say, Nelly, you are solemn as an
owl tonight. What's up, small cousin p
and Charlie glanced with surprise at the
quiet little figure; for Helen was usually
the merriest of chatterboxes.
They were at the house now and
standing on the stone steps Helen looked
down at Charlie below, in the street, with
the light of steady resolution shining
in her brown eyes as she said, Il have
found my cross; that's ALL Charlie.
Good BY and Helen vanished in the
house, leaving her astorished cousin to
VOW that girls are queer things" as he
walked home.
The next morning at recess Helen
went to see Mrs. Meredith. The lady
was exceedingly vexed at losing her
pretty Rebekah," and used every argu-
ment in her power to induce Helen to
change her decision, but to no purpose.
The evening of the tableaux, as Helen
sat in her room, feeling just little lone
y and very much inclined to weep a
little weep" the servant entered to say
that Charlie wanted to speak to her at
the door. Down she went; and Charlie,
taking her hands in his, said softly,
Little cousin, your cheerful bearing of
your cross has made me want to be a
Christian also-and l have found nv
Saviour" And Helen was content with
her cross. ''-PreS6yterian.

A Boys Victory.

A dozen boys stood on the green by the
schoolhouse, careless and jolly, just from
game of ball. A boy came around the
corner of the schoolhouse with an old
cloth cap on his head, and wearing a
loosely-ftting garment of some coarse
cloth. In his hands were an iron stove
shovel and bod of ashes.
ooh, here comes old Dust and Ashes, +"
shouted one of the group, springing Tor
ward and giving the coat jerk.
"Hullol what's the price of sack
cloth ?"
The boy s cheek flushed in an instant.
The shovel rang on the gravel walk, and
his fingers clutched; but as quickly his
cheek paled again, and, clenching his
teeth, as with great effort to keep back
something, he turned little and muttered
the word Mother !"
"Ho no T. shouted the other. "The
baby's sick and wants to see his mother. -
The boy in the coarse frock turned
away, and rapidly disappeared behind
the old barn; then, breaking into run,
he fled swiftly down the path to the
maple woods, his faithful Hunter bound
ing and racing by his side.
Most graciously stood the naples all
russell and crimson and yellow, bathed
in. the yellow haze Of the still October
afternoon. In among their shadows he
sprang, his feet rustling the already
fallen leaves, and, flinging himself in a
little hollow, he buried his face in his
hands. Poor Hunter stood by wonder
ing why his young master, any more
than himself, could possibly think of
anything but birds and squirrels at such
time. Then the boy, Selling his only
playmate in his arms cried
"Oh, nobody loves me, nobody loves
me in the world but you, Hunter Oh,
mother, why did you die?"
And the sobs came fast and thick, and
tears flowed like rain. Long did the
motherless boy wall and cry, till, from
very WEAKNESS, he could weep no longer.
Tears brought relief and the holy quiet
of the grand old woods filled him with
solemn and holy thoughts-thoughts of
his dead mother
Only one year ago she had died, and
he remembered his agony and loneliness,
and the year of toll as the ward of a
cruel uncle. He remem bered his eager
ness to 90 to school, his trying to pay
his way by working about the school
room, and the unfeeling gibes and jeers
his humble station and c0arse clothing
had earned him. Again the angry,
rebellious thoughts came up as his eyes
fell on his coarse coat, and the quiverine
sobs returned but with them came the
words of that mother, and how her poor
fingers had toiled to make that coat, the
best she could give him. Though coarse
its texture, every thread was hallowed
by a mothers love. He took from his
vest pocket the well-worn Bible, hel
Bible, and read the precious promise tC
the widow and orphan again and again
New and strange thoughts came to him

the ruler, Tommie sank down on the
platform with great sob. l guess we
all cried then; did, l know. But our
teacher sat there so pale and beautiful

she seemed almost an angel to us. | can
never forget how she took the poor bow s
hand and drew him up to her side, and
how sweet her voice sounded as she said
You know now, Tommie, how it
hurts me to strike you, and how much
more 1T has hurt me all day to know that
this boy needed to be struck"
After that the worst boy in the
school, Thomas Green, became a gentle.
noble fellow. The calm teacher had
conquered, not the flesh, but the spirit.
Had she grown angry and uttered bitter,
unkind things, how that boys heart
would have fired up with anger, too,
and how different all our hearts would
have felt [ always wished to grow
into the same sweet, patient kind of a
woman that my loved teacher was-for
to me she was the most perfect type of
womanhood, and such she will always be.
l have told you this story of day at
school in order to teach you the beauty
of calmness, gentleness, patience and
forbearance. These are hard lessons to
learn, dear boys and girls, but let us
learn together from the one best and
most perfect teacher, Jesus, that loving
Saviour who went about doing good.

Why Little Birds Hop, and Other
Birds Walk.

little bird sat on twig of a tree,
A-swinging and singing as glad could be,
And shaking his tail, and smoothing his dress,
And having such fun as you never could guess
And when he had finished his gay little song,
He flew down in the street, and went hopping
along,
This way and that way with both little feet,
While his sharp little eyes looked for something
to eat
A little boy said to him Little bird, stop
And tell me the reason you go with a hop.
Why don't you walk, as boys do, and men,
One foot at time, like dove or hen?
" How queer it would look if, when you go out,
You should see little boys go jumping about
Like you, little bird And you don't know
what fun
1t is to be able to walk and to run"
Then the little bird entwith hop, hop, hop
And he laughed. and he laughed as he never
would stop,
And he said: Little boy, there are some birds
that talk,
And some birds that hop, and some birds that
walk.
a. Use your eyes, little boy watch closely and see
What little birds hop, both feet, just like me-
And what little birds walk, like the duck and
the hen,
And when you know that you'll know more
than some men.
Every bird that can scratch in the dirt can
walk;
Every bird. that can wade in the water can
walk;
Every bird that has claws to catch prey with
can walk;
One foot at a time-that is why they can walk.
" But most little birds who can sing you a song
Are so small that their legs are not very strong
To scratch with, or wade with, or catch things
that's why
They hop with both feet* Little boy, good by
The exceptions to the above rule are rare.
The rule is generally correct and SO simple as to
be easily remembered.
