| 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 very wonderful vail. and
whenever any body spoke to her. Orcven
| 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 Il good humor
Just to look at it. No matter how
angry or guarrelsOme her companions
mi ght be, they would generally break
into a merry laugh as soon as it showed
itself.
| As for her own face, a frOwn had nc
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 sell
again, saying in the brightest way:
"Well, it dom matter: 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 q doll with
the prettiest baby hands and feet ever
seem Now Sunshine was a right care
full little girl, and though she had played
with it ever since Christmas, it was III
most as good rs 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 very sOrrOwful little
girl that carried her lame darling to
mother for sympathy; but almost be-
fore the mother could say word of
encouragement the sunny vail was in its
place, and Sunshine. smiling through
her tears, said.
"Oh, we'll! mamma, it wont matter
much, will it? cause you know you can
stuff the stocking with cotton, and when
the shoe is on it wont show a bit. Be
sides, | can play she's got sick foot
like my little friend Lizzy Lore
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 Sun
shine heart, and she could but sob her
griefs out, for her ruined doll, in heI
mothers lap.
But. again, the vail conqucred; and
ever looking for the bright side, SHE
said, quite cheerily:
"Well, anyhow. l can play with my
little old doll, and won't be So afrait
of breaking that; and we can play poo
Bella had the Group and died; ant
we can have funeral-can't we, mann
MAJ"
Can you, little boys and girls, CUES!
what little Sunshine's vail was, or shall
l tell you?
1t was the sweet smile that came from

everything, and keeping in good hu

Our Young Readers.
An OLD PROTERB.

Pointing, my darling, because it rains,
And flowers drOop, and the rain is falling,
And drops are blurring the window paneS.
And moaning wind through the lane is
calling.
Crying, and wishing the sky was clear.
And roses again on the lattice twining!
All, well. remember. my foolish dear.
Ills easy to laugh when the sun is shin
ing"
When the world is bright and fair and gay.
And glad birds sing in the fair June
weather,
And summer is gathering. night and day.
Her golden chalice of sweets together,
When blue seas answer the sky above,
And bright stars follow the days declining,
Why, then, tits no merit to smile, my love:
Ills easy to laugh when the sun is shin
ing!'
But tbs is the time the heart TO test.
When Winter is near. and storms are howl
ing,
And the earth from under her frozen vest
Looks up at the sad sky, mute and scowling;
The brave little spirit should rise to meet
The seasons gloom and the days repining:
And this is the time to be glad; for. sweet e
lis easy to laugh when the sun is shin
ing"

After the lessons for the next day had
been prepared, Olivia said to her five
pupils, as they were putting away thcil
books:
II know boy who is getting ready
to be great.
"A boy who is getting ready to be
greatr' echoed Harry and Robert.
Yes returned Olivia. He proba-
bly, would be surprised if any one told
him; but he is fast preparing himself tc
be distinguished.
..WhO is hep whats his name?''
and "Where does he live?' questioned
the boys.
Cant you guess?'' returned Olivia.
'.He goes to your school: he lives not
far away, and you see him every day.
Robert wondered if he could be the
one to whom his sister alluded. He
had done so well for the past few
weeks; he had proved all his examples
without grumbling; he was head in
grammar class, and he was cuitivating
mental and moral power in various
ways. Perhaps his sister did mean
him.
..What does fellow have to do when
he gets ready to be great?" asked New
ell. Tell us that, Cousin 'Livia, Their
perhaps we can guess"
Il didn't know boys were ever
great" said Harry
''Greatness does not come suddenly,
returned the young girl. The world
does not often see it till it is in blossom;
but it is long while in growing; so
long that one who wishes to be noted
among men must lay the foundation for
greatness when young. This boy 5

thirty or forty years, but that his name
will be distinguished some day l firmly

$50 it takes greatness thirty or forty
years to grow?n said Harry, in some
surprise.
Eyes, all of that-a lifetime. Yet it
comes like tree, from very small
seeds. What peculiar quality do We
see in all great men-in Washington, in
Lincoln, in Garfield, in Humboldt, and
in Columbus, Luther, Newton, and
hosts of Others?"
GENIUS answered Newell.
''Vim, cried Robert, proud OF the
friendly relations he was forming with
this quality.
Genius said Olivia, Ibid not make
them famous. Thousands of boys have
genius, but they never amount to any
thing because
because they haven't vim," ex-
claimed Robert.
''Yes," smiled his sister, because
they haven't vim. But what is the root
of vim-the moral root, mean, not the
Latin one
Il should think good strong will

"Yes," said Olivia, "all these men
had good strong wills. and, what is

Miss Hildreth. as she met her man-ser-

They be an awful nuisance, marin, >

matter reached her ears. They'll be

and Miss Dunn parrot, or them chill
dren of Parson Miller's-l never did see
such neglected plaques as they be, she
added, irre1evantly. Il wonder their

the poor man-what does he know OF
the care of babies, with his sermons and
his prayer-meeting, and his parochial
visits and his poor? He's off to this we'd
