"And now," said Edward, when he had
begun to feel more like himself, "l'm gO-
ing to get up and go down TO the village
and buy TURKEY and some 'fiXings,' AMI
wen have a dinner tomorrow 'as Is I
Il dnner,'" and he smiled happy smile
iuto the proud old faces looking down
into his,
"wcll. WE'LL" his grandmother was
saying, not stopping to discuss his plan at
once, 81 guess the managers glad enough
YOU was in grandpa's place. You would
never have thought OF doing that, would
you, grandpa?"
mo, no." said grandpa, modestty.
"l'm too old to iiy around rs spry rs Ted
here
"And as for your going down to get
some Thanksgivin' tiXiu's," went on his
grandmother, 'you lie still awhile longer.
To-night'll be soon enough, and you are
all used up; can see that"
50 Edward waited, and il was well that
he did, for before the sunset light had
died out of the chill November sky
there WAS a knock 1T the humble door OF
the 81. Johns, and in walked the village
minister and Mr.. Bedding, the storc-kecp-
or, aud the most important man in the
town. Between them they carried large
basket, which proved to be :iIlcd with
almost everything that you can think OF
which is suitable for Thanksgiving
feast.
1--WE have heard OF your brave act, my
bow" sail the minister looking down
admiringly into Edwards ilushed face.
'Nou must have thought pretty quick,
aud acted almost before You thought
at all happened in jiGy, sir" replied
Edward, smiling. II must say | hardly
knew what was doing, and can hardly
remember now just what did,"
"Wcll, We all know" said Mr.. Bclding,
kindly. Its all over the village, and
some of us made up little Thanksgiving
basket FOR YOU, just TO show that We know
pluck when we sec IL, and like il, too"
Then, lowering his voice little, 81 know
how anxious you are for an cducatioE,
Edward. and some of us have decided -
send you of to school for the rest OF tho
year TO the best place within reach. And
| then, Edward, want you TO go In with
me for good-in the store. You know
haven't any boy 10 come after me, anu
I've always liked you. Well, won't say
any more now, for see You arcn any OF
you very strong tonight; but we WISH
you happy Thanksgiving, aud yon can
think about what I've s1il."
Before the bcwildcrcd family could fair
" grasp the meaning of the brilliant otlrr
which Mr.. Bedding had made he and tho
minister were or, anj they were 10y them
selves once again. A mole genuine
Thanksgiving was never enjoyed than
that which followed.
The programme that Mr.. Bcldiug had
suggested was carried ont In later years,
and Edward 81. John Is now, though still
n young man, one OF the most respected
citizens of Linvillc. Whenever Thanks
giving day comes around he thinks Of that
awful moment when his bOyish bands
moved the rod that saved the lives upon
two crowded trains, and of the happiness
which followed. Many others think Of IL
too, and bless the name of the brave boy
to whose presence OF mind, under God,
| they owe their existence to-day.

CALLED HOME.
She has passed away
ryI-a a Qautla breath.

She has passed away
Like gentle breath,
And her ewes are closed with the sleep OF death
The leaves on the trees will rutter ana iaIl.
And the drifting SHOWS will cover all,
But she will peacefully, calmly rest
Forever happy
By angels blest.
Just in the spring
OF wumanhood,
Tender and loving, and wise and good,
All too good for the sinful earth
Only the angels knew her worth,
So they called her unto them,
Decking her brow
With n diadem.
Better TO smile
When such life
Gives up the battle OF earthly strife,
Better TO know that her tasks are done,
Trials ended and glory won;
Tears ar. vain. when n soul SO bright
Wings It's way
To the gates OF light.
She has passed away.
But her sweet goodwill,
Like fragrant odor, fingers still,
The tender lesson that memory brings
The mantle of patience o'er MS filings,
We learn to follow the path she trod,
To be more like her,
Who has gone TO God.

sPEcTAcLEs ON CHILDREN.
Something About the Ewes and How
Glasses Benefit Them.

Something About the Eyes and How
Glasses Benefit Thom.
There is a natural and pardonable
hesitancy on the part of fathers and
mothers to place spectacles on their chill
dren. When one begins to use spec
tacles it is usually an indication Of the
approach of old age. Humorous re-
marks pass between men and women
when they notice familiar friends CON-
ing toward them with spectacles for the
first time. Prof. Chisholm, Of the Uni
versity Of Maryland, in recent contri-
button to Popular Science Monthly,
makes plea for children who have the
misfortune Of defective eyesight. Some
receive 1t with their birth. We Offer
find children, recently recovered from
an attack Of measles, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, whooping-cough, or from
any one Of the depressing diseases OF
childhood, unable TO study as they did
before the attack. A weak magniiying
spectacle, by helping the muscles to do
their work. will enable such children 10
continue their studies till tonics, daily
administered, restore the needfu
strength to the enfeebled muscles. I'm.
fortunately the eyeball, with the many
other features, has not always the per-
fection Of sympathy. Near-sighted long
eyes and over-sighted fiat eyes are the
common deviations from the standard
shape. In the near-sighted eye, called
myopic, the eye Is so long from front TO
back that the lens Is too far from the
retina. The result Is that rays OF light
from distant object come to a focus
and have begun to diyerge when they
reach the retina so that the image
formed Is blurred. The second devia-
ton in the form of the eye is called hy-
peropia. This is fiat eye, very COM
mon form In children. 1t is a congen.
ital defect, in which tho crystalline lens
is located so near the retina that light,
passing into the eye, is stopped by the
retina before II comes 10 focus. This
must also produce an ill-defined picture.
Unfortunately faulty eyes, which give
out under use, do not appear differently
from perfectly shaped ones. The fiat
tening, or the elongation, Is not In the
exposed cornea. II Is usually at the
expense Of the inner half Of the eyeball,
hid away In the socket II children,
either by Inheritance or acquisition,
have mis-shaped eyes, so they can not
see objects clearly through the usual
range OF distances, what can be tho
propriety Of allowing them TO 60 through
life as II In a constant fog, when aprop-
erly selected glass clears up tho mist
