IN UNHAPPY LITTLE GIRL.

don't know how it happened, but the worlds
gone wrong to-day!
There's not bit of zeal fun in any sort of
play;
My dolly's just as sulky, my dog won't show
My sister Lii IS crosser than pair of crooked
sticks:
When Nursey went to brush my hair she
jerked i; by the roots;
And now the rain has gone and spoiled my
best new Sunday boots;
The apple that 1 took TO school was sour as
There's not a thing but has spite against
poor little me!
told mamma, and thought of course, that
she would SympathiZe;
Bnt when she heard the story, she only smiled
and said:
Al ttink my little girl got out the wrong side
of the bed,''
And then she went and left me there as if
Instead of other people! And it's just per-
feet shame
If a girls oriy mother. who should comfort
Is going to say cruel words, and turn away
like this!
The wrong side of my bed. indeedl I'd really
What difference that could ever make to any
one but me.

Who make the good things horrid, and all the
bad things worse,
Like cook to-day at breakfast, who just began
to scold
Because ] simply tolO her that the porridge
was all cold
And her mullins were too heavy and no tea
was in the pot;
Suppose | was a little late-she might have
kept them hot.
Then Kit and Sue came after school, and each
one played so rough,
And talked so rudely, that at last we broke up
in huff,
And declared I'd never play with two such
hateful things;
And they said something Just as mean, ali full
of prickS and StihgS!
I'd like to know whose fault it was, or if twas
wrong to say
That since was the oldest there, ought to
have my way?
Now, could mamma think possibly the horrid
things they said
Could have the least connection with how
got out of bed!
1t makes one so unhappy 1t makes one feel
50 blue,
To have your mother and your friends all lay
the blame on you.
When any one with half an eye can see as plain
as day
It's everybody else who acts in such an awful
wayi
Perhaps they'll all be sorry when they see me
1ade away
For VINO would ever want to live the life I've
lived to-day?
Perhaps they'll realize too late how wicked and
absurd
1t is to crush person down without one kindly
word,
And then, perhaps-thatts, Ihope-they' II turn
around and see
How perfectly preposteIOu their hints have
been to me;
For what does this big world care, when all is
done and said,
For how one wretched little girl gets in or out
of bed!

A New Bank Examiner.

One morning this week little girl,
not more than six or seven years of age,
opened the door of the Merrimack Saw
ings Bank, on Elm Street, and walked
in. Her appearance and demeanOr at
tracted the attention of the Treasurer.
Ex-Governor Smyth, who inquired the
object of her visit. She replied that
she wanted to see the bank. The
kind-hearted Governor, attracted
by the childish simplicity of his inter-
viewer, asked her to step behind the
counter, and as she did so her wide
opened blue eyes wandered about the
apartment in a calm scrutiny of its sur
roundings. When her little orbs rested
upon the pile of shining coins of vari-
Gus denominations displayed upon the
cashier table, her face became perfect
panorama of expressions viewed, with in
terest and amusement by her gallant
guide. She was permitted to step in
side the vault to examine the huge locks
and interior and the inner safe and its
belongings, all of which she did with
studious care and minuteness. All this
time the bank officers looked on in mute
surprise, puzzled to know the motive
for this rigid examination, if any she
possessed. Suddenly she stopped, and,
looking up archly into the amused
countenance of the treasurer, exclaimed:
''Wen, believe it's all right" "What
is all right? p" queried the official
why, the bank is all right she said.
and then continued: ''Mr. Bank man,
my name is Amy Bell, and my papa
put five dollars into this savings bank
for me Yesterday, and wanted to see
what kind of place it was. L never
was in bank before" The gentleman
assured her that the money was safe.
and, after answering a few childish
questions, she departed, feeling settled
in her young mind concerning the Gus
todS of her wealth. Governor Smyth
and assistants enjoyed the episode
hugely, and their invitation to their
young visitor to call again was given
with genuine sincerity.-Aa'acbester IN.

The New DOllie.

Dottie was lost. She was getting
farther and farther from home at every
step. Her eyes looked scared and bic,
ami her curlS were in a tangle. Her
hot cheeks were streaked with tears.
She dragged her hat by one string, and
her frock was torn.
When she was very little. DOttie had
learned what to do if she should get
.ost. She used to say: ''rll 90 to my
kind friend, the policeman, and tell
him I'm Dottie Rand. I'll say live in
Morris Park, and he will take me
home" But when the time really
came, Dottie forgot it all-the police
man looked so much bigger than she
thought. She had never noticed his
club before. and she was afraid of it;
so she began to cry.
Just then a woman spoke to her
kindly. Thankfully DOttie told her
troubles to the stranger.
Il was wheeling my dOllie," she
said, ''when big dog jumped upon
me- He tipped dollie out of Der phe-
ton, too. Then | ran out of the park
as fast as l could. By and by tried to
90 back. l turned at every corner, but
| couldn't find the right street. Oh, 1
shall never see my dear dollie again.
That wicked dog has eaten her up"
"Never mind, dear. Do not cry.
will lead you hOme," said the woman,
coaxingly; land you shall have another
dollie"
Dottie frightened up and began to
chatter, clinging to the strangers hand.
''Have you any little girls?" she
asked.
''Only one little girl" was the answer.
Dottie looked up into her new friends
face. 1t was so sad, that she asked no
more questions.
Suddenly she gave shout. There
is papa! Goodbye" Putting up her
lips to be kissed, she said: II love you
for being so good to me-"
The woman stopped to kiss the dirty
little face, and her eyes were full OF
tears. She put package into Dottie's
arms. g. L am sorry that you lost your
dollie she said. "Here is another
for you. Run home, Dottie. and be very
careful not to drop it. 1t is yours to
keep"
Dottie was delighted. But how BIG
it was. She nearly fell down with its
weight.
40 papa, papai" she cried, "Pve
got a new big dOllie for my very own"
Her papa gave her great hug for
answer. Her mamma kissed hef lost
child, and cried for Joy over her. Then
the bundle was opened. There lay a
real live girl-baby-sweet as a rosebud.
Dottie touched its soft cheek, whisper
ing: THAT good woman gave me her
only little girl
The new dolly grew cunning every
day. Nobody once thought Of trun-
ding her off to an orphan asylum.
There was plenty of love in Dottfe's
home for two little girls, and dollie
was hers "to keep. Our Little Ones.
