we were trying to drown him. There
is no comfort In wearing yourself out in
trying to please little boys. You can't
satisfy them, no matter how much
trouble you take, and for my part an
tired of trying to please Harry, snd
shall let him amuse himself the rest of
the time he is at our house.
We tried every plan we could think
Of to get Harry out of the chimney,
but none of them succeeded. Tom said
that if we were to pour whole lot of
Oil down the chimney ii would make it
SO slippery that Harry would slide right
down into the back parlor, but l
wouldn't do it. because l knew the oil
would spoil Harry's clothes. and that
would make Amt Eliza angry. All of
sudden I heard carriage stop at our
gate. and there were the grown folks,
who had come earlier than / had sup
posed they would. Tom said that he
would go home before his own folks be-
gan to get uneasy about him, so he
went out of the back gate, and left me
to explain things. They had to send
for some men to come and cut q hole
through the wall. But they got Harry
out all safe; and after they found that
be wasn't bit hurt, instead of thank
ing me for all Tom and had done for
him. they seemed to think that l de-
served the worst punishment lever had,
and l got it.
And shall never make another at
