A Wonderful Vail.

Don't ask me if little Sunshine was
pretty, because / don't knoW-nobody
ever did know; and this was the reason
why, she had a very wonderful vail, and
whenever anybody spoke to her, or even
looked at her, she would draw it over
her face, and you could not tell whether
her eyes were blue or brown, or whether
her skin was fair or dark; you only
knew this wonderful vail made you
think of sunshine and flowers, and all
the pleasant things in the world.
And, strange as it may seem, it al
ways put everybody into a good hu'nor
just to look at it. No matter how
angry or quarrelsome her companions
might be, they would generally break
into a merry laugh as soon as it showed
itself
As for her own face, a frown had no
chance at all. This pretty vail would
chase it away before it had time to
pucker up single wrinkle.
Sometimes when anything happened
that she did not like. for moment she
would look downcast, like any other
little girl that had been disappointed,
but soon the vail would fall. and she
would be her own sweet sunny self
again, saying in the brightest way:
. Well, it don tmatter; something else
will do just as well. =
She had doll once, which had been
given her by her Aunt May, and she
loved it very much. 1t was doll with
the prettiest baby hands and feet ever
seen. Now Sunshine was a right care
full little girl, and though she had played
with it ever since Christmas, it was al
most as good as new.
But one day her little cousin, in their
play, insisted upon exchanging dolls,
and very soon broke off one of the dear
little feet. The tears would come at
first, and it was a very sorrowful little
girl that carried her lame darling to
mother for sympathy; but almost be-
fore the mother could say a word of
encouragement the sunny vail was in its
place, and Sunshine, smiling through
her tears, said.
ssOh, well! mamma, it won't matter
much, will it? cause you know you can
stuff the stocking with cotton, and when
the shoe is on it WONT show bit. Be-
sides, / can play she's got a sick foot

But when, before the day was over,
the beloved doll fell on the pavement,
and broke the beautiful head all to
pieces, it well-nigh broke little Sum
shine heart, and She could but sob her
griefs out, for her ruined doll, in her
mothers lap.
But, again, the vail conquered; and,
ever looking for the bright side, she
said. quite cheerily:
..Well, anyhow, can play with my
little old doll, and / won't be so afraid
of breaking that; and we can play poor
Bella had the Group and died; and
we can have a funeral-can't we, mann

Can you, little boys and girls, guess
what little Sunshine's vail was, or shall

her always looking for a bright side to
everything, and keeping in good hu-
