Tessa's Happy Day.

Tessa was a little Indian girl. She
lived with her grandfather, who was an
organ-player They did not have any
home. They wondered about from town
to town, and Tessa danced while her
grandfather played on the organ. In
this way they earned all the money they
had.
One afternoon they started to go to a
place where they had never been before.
They did noe know the way, and they
walked till it was almost dark. They
were in the country among the cornfelds
and green orchards. Tessa was so tired
she could not go any farther; so they
stopped, and ate their supper of dry
bread and drank some water from a
running brook. Then they went into a
meadow where there were some heaps of
hay, and lay down for the night. Tessa
had often stayed out of doors all night,
so she was not afraid; and she and her
grandfather were soon asleep on the
sweet-smelling hay.
ed; but they were very hungry. They
saw house near by. and went to it to
get something to eat. The house belonged
to Mr.. Lane. He invited the travellers
in, and Mrs Lane gave them a good
breakfast. After they had eaten, the
grandfather played on the organ, and
Tessa danced
Martha and Mamie Lane were little
girls about the age of Tessa. They were
much pleased with these strange visitors.
They had never heard hand-organ be-
fore, and they had never seen any one
dance like Tessa They wanted her to
stay all day with them, and she was
very glad to do So She had always
lived in cities, and it seemed delightful
to her to be in the country. So while
her grandfather rested and slept under a
shady tree, she ran about and PLAYED
with Martha and Mamie. They danced
together in the big barn, and they went
into the fields and gathered berries and
flowers.
That night Mr. Lane was going to the
next town, and he took Tessa and her
grandfather along with him in his wag-
on. Martha and Mamie were very sorry
to have them go. They gave Tessa some
clothes and bag of cakes and apples.
1t was the happiest day that Tessa had
ever spent in her whole life. She wished
that she might live always with these
new friends. She told them that some
time she should come again.-Our Little
Ones.

used the preparation which we call In
dian ink-applying it with fine brushes.
In Japan the children carry to school a
box containing camel-brushes and "a cake
of this ink, and when the copy is written
the copy-book is hung up to dry. 1t is
the custom in their homes to see who can
be up in time to write the first copy on
New Years morning, as it is believed
that the one who is first is sure to be-
come a great scholar, so there are some
early risers among the japanese little
folks on New Years morning"
&c don't think I'd like writing with
brushes" said Grace; it would be too
much like painting"
AZ should think they might Just as
well use pen and ink, said Tom any
body can make ink. We boys made some
once Of elderberries, and put up dozen
bottles to sell"
"Andswhat did you get for them ?"
asked Aunt Marian, taking up one of
Toms quilts and beginning to shape it
into pen.

little laugh

we got a scolding when our cuffs and
handkerchiefs came out of the wash"

A Pen History.

Aunt Marian, heard you say the
other day that you liked quill pens, - said
Tom one morning, coming in with hand
full Of goose quilts so 1 thought I'd
bring you some from our geese.
90, thank you, Tom" said Aunt Ma
rian, do like them very much, they
are so much more flexible than steel
pens"
L suppose people had to use them,
whether they liked them or not, in old
times before steel pens were made, said
Tom.
Eyes" said Aunt Marian, "but fine
pens were not needed until paper began
TO be manufactured. In very early times
writing was done on stone or metallic
plates with graver of steel, which is
spoken of in the Bible as an iron pen {;
and for the waxed tablets of the ancients
a sharp instrument, called style, was
used. The early Arabs wrote their
poetry and other compositions on the
shoulder bones of sheep. For writing on
papyrus reed pens, about the size Of a
swans quill, were used, and for several
centuries these articles were In great de-
mand. In Poland and Russia immense
focks Of geese were raised chiefly for their
quilts.
In 1903 Mr.. Wise, of Great Britain,
produced a barrel-shaped steel pen,
mounted in bone case, for carrying in
the pocket, but it was clumsy and ex-
pensive and it was not until Mr.. elliott,
of Birmingham, introduced his famous
steel pens, that people began to abandon

l had not had it. But I certainly left
it on your desk, he said and then the
boys and girls began to laugh, for there
was the pen stuck behind his ear with
three or four others that he had had in
his hand keeping it company"
" don't wonder the scholars laughed, -"
said Tom; but I've found out some
thing that's why they call them pen
knives, because they used them for max
ing and mending pens. I never thought
of that before.
But what kind of ink did they use
in old times, Aunt Marian ?" asked
Grace, who had come in behind Tom so
softly that Aunt Marian did not know
she was there.

Aunt Marian, slipping an arm around
Grace and giving her a Mss 1t is

The Sentinel.

Mamma, said little Ernest Brooks,
who was standing at window over
looking a number of fields in which the
young corn was beginning to show itself.
Mamma, 1 wonder why that rock sits
so still on the very top of the highest
tree in the row l have watched it for
ever so long, and it has not moved Why
does it not go down into the field where
the others are?"
-" Where is it, Ernest?" asked his
mother. "Ohl 1 see it now. 1t is a
sentinel"
A sentinel, mamma what is that?
" 1t is keeping lookout, so that no
enemy may approach the others. If any
one came in sight it would call to those
in the field, and then they would fly
away before any harm could befall
them"
But, mamma, rocks cannot talk, so
how can it tell the others ?"
"They do not talk as we do, Ernest,
but they understand each other perfect
ly we'll"
90 look, look" cried Ernest at that
moment, " the rocks are all flying away
in such hurry. Do you think the senti-
mel told them to go?"
l cannot tell, - answered Mrs. Brooks !;
" but very likely it did Yes, now can
see the cause of their fright"
Do you, mamma what is it p asked
Ernest.
"There is man coming across the
further field, with gun in his hand !;
perhaps if it had not been for the SEN
tinel he would have shot some of the
other rocks. The one you noticed on the
top of the tree gave warning note, and
away they all flew, as you saw"
"Now," said the little boy, " the man
with the gun has gone past, and the
rocks are coming on to the field again"
Soon after this, Mrs Brooks told Ern-
est to sit down beside her, as she wanted
to tell him something and when he had
taken his seat, his mother said:
Do you know that every one has a
sentinel, Ernest Papa and mamma and
you, my boy, and little sister, and every
one else
but, mamma, where are they p in
CURED Ernest, looking round
"Oh you cannot see your sentinel,
but you can feel it, replied Mrs Brooks.
Il think you felt it this morning I
hope you did"
do not know what you mean, nam
ma, returned Ernest
When you were so angry with your
little sister, what did you feel p
/ felt sorry afterwards, said Ernest.
Yes and it was your sentinel, con-
science, that made you feel so. God has
placed a conscience in your heart and
that is what l call your sentinel. 1t was
that that called to you and told you that
anger was trying to take you prisoner {;
but you did not listen to its voice and
then afterwards it upbraided you for not
doing 50.
Suppose the rocks had not obeyed
the voice of their sentinel, what would
have been the consequences, do you
think?"
" 1 suppose some of them would have
been shot.
Yes, most likely and when you let
any sin become the master of you, you
are acting more foolishly than the birds
would have done if they had refused to
take their sentinel's advice, for no sin,
however small you may think it, can
gain mastery over you without robbing
your heart of some of its purity. Sin
leaves stain behind it, wherever it
goes. Think of this, my boy, and try al
ways to listen to. the voice of your SEN

Truth.

Truth.
Lost your situation How did it hap
pen, my boy?'
Well, mother, you'll say it was all
my own carelessness, suppose. l was
busting the shelves in the store, and try
ing to hurry up matters, sent lot OF
fruit-jars smashing to the floor. Mr.. Bar
ton scolded, and said he wouldn't stand
my laundering ways any longer, SO l
packed up and left.
His mother looked troubled.
Don't mind, mother l i. can get an
other situation soon, I know. But what
shall I say if they ask me why I left the
last one
"Tell the truth, James, of course you
wouldn't think of anything else p
No, only thought d keep it to my
self. I'm afraid it may stand in my
way"
1t never stands in ones way to do
right, James, even though it may seem to
sometimes
He found it harder than he had ex-
pected to get a new situation. He
walked and inquired till he felt almost
discouraged, till one day something real
seemed to be waiting for him. A young
looking man in clean, bright store,
newly started, was In want of an assistant
Things looked very attractive, so neat
and dainty that James, fearing that
boy who had record for carelessness
might not be wanted there felt sorely
tempted to conceal the truth 1t was
long distance from the place from which
he had been dismissed and the chances
were slight of a new employer hearing
the truth. But he thought better of it,
and frankly told exactly the circum-
stances which had led to his seeking the
situation.

Come in, sir.
He spoke to an elderly man who was
entering the door, and James turning,
found himself face to face with his late
employer.
"Oh, no r. he said, looking at the boy,
are you hiring this young chap, Fred?"
/ haven't yet, sir"
Well, l guess you might try him. If
you can only" he added, laughing,
" keep him from spilling all the wet
goods and smashing all the dry ones
you'll find him reliable in everything
else. If you find you don't like him I'll
be willing to give him another trial my
self.

the younger man, think ! shall keep
him myself"
ooh, mother, said James, going home
after having made an agreement with his
new employer, after such a recommended
ton from his old one, you were right,
as you always are. 1t was telling the
truth that got it for me- What if Mr..

Counting the Pennies.


All, what shall 1 do with my pennies2
For, see, have such a store
l never have sold my basket
OF walnuts so soon before.
How often I've trudged for hours,
And taken a secret cry,
Because was tired and hungry,
And nobody cared to buy
l dreaded to think how mother
Would look as l came and said
That hadn't enough of pennies
To bring her a loaf of bread;
How Nellie. my little sister,
Would watch at the door and say
1--WE thought and I've thought of the apple
You promised to bring, all day"
But now can FIJI my basket;
For there's never a nut behind
One loaf, two loaves, and dozen
OF apples the sweetest kind;
And pat of that yellow butter
It's dainty and fresh know
How good it will taste to mother;
And Nellie will like it so
Five pennies-ten, fifteen, twenty,
And thirty and thirty-fve,
lust think OF it here are fifty,
As certain as IN alive
1t must have been God who helped me
To sell off my nuts so soon,
Or else I'd been trudging, trudging,
The whole of the afternoon.
And now would like to thank him,
So kind he has been, so true
Let's see if cannot spare him
A few of my pennies, too.
Why, surely can Here's forty
For mother and Nellie and then,
Dear Jesus, to help thy heather,
I give thee the other ten.
