WHAT WE SEE--WHAT WE DON'T
SEE; WHAT WE LIKE TO SEE

By THREs.SCORE.

We refresh the reader this week
with an extract from Lippincott's S
magazine, showing scene in every
day life, and our purpose being to
check evil and promote good we
give it without sauce, suffering it to
convey it's own moral. The writer
says: ..- 49,
Here is a scene at a public table,
to which enters a boy of eight or
nine years, having in his suite gen.

ing that friends from another hotel
have come to call On US. We form
q circle, and are for the moment o
private party, when. suddenly there
appears in onr midst 9 small boy
with o long stick. No one knows
who be is, and he cares very little

place it is, he saVnters away sgaiR.
The next event worthy Of record
on this same occasion is the arrival
of three little girls, who take g vastly
greater interest IN us than the boy
did: They were on their way through

Yoq can remember making ~ in=
formal call on some queen of sociely
when her little daughter was in the
room; and what happened then? The
charming lady discovered after 9
time-sfter the time. THAI is, that
you had discovered it-that the
cbild's coustant Interruptions were
annoying; so she said, 'Run away,
now, Daisy, dear But Daisy did
not want to run away. She perched
herself abopt UPON the chairs instead
and began to indulge in freaks Of
fancy WHICH pecessitated constant
interspePsions in the conversation Of
"Dont do that, dear" "Ges down" "
etc.. etc., with periodical occurrences
to the original ides Of her running
away Finally, conscious of having
bpt one eye and ear for heF guest,
and Wearied With the effort Of diyid,
ing her attention, the pooF lady
makes that last supreme appeal Of
the American mother, and says,
"Please, Daisy" in tone that might
move heart of stone: And Daisy
is moved, doubtless, but the thing
has gone on too long; there are cir
cumstances under which even the
American little girl develops q form
Of embarrassment. With two pairs
of eyes fixed upon her, watching be-
tween hope and fear to see what she
will do, she really cannot beat a
graceful retreat, and therefore ignores
the pathos of the situation and sb-
ruptly changes the subject by saying
in lively manner, "Mamma. I want

follows q controversy as to whether
she shall tell now or reserve the com
munication for a more convenient
season; it ends in her putting her
arms around her mothers neck, and
q long whispering epsnes, of which
