dropped from his hand. It might have
shaved his poor little nose off. but it only
grazed his fat cheek, SO that the white
lather was stained with blood. Tommy
and Ellen hoWled together, and Oracle
added her voice to the chorus. Butwhen
Ellen found there was no serious hurt

she shut the two children up in the

When mamma came home she was
dreadtully distressed about it all.
oh, dear, Tommy, she said, what
does make you SO naughty?
God do, said Tommy, gravely;
makes everything
No, said mamma its naughty little
Tommy himself, and he makes his
mammals heart ache.
Tommy looked very sad, and promis-

When papa came home he took him
on his lap and asked, just as he always
did:

what do you think | saw? Under
a tree, four or five bricks covered with
papers. On one there was an ink-stand
for vase, filled with flowers, and on
two or three, laid side by side, bits of
china and glass spread out for dinner
party. Chips for chairs were placed all
around, and seated on them was com
pany Of paper ladies and gentlemen.
Wasn't that nice way to play? The
next day went by about noon, and
there were the little maidcns taking their
lunch under the tree, and dividing liber-
ally with their paper company. Doubt
less when the children came out in the
afternoon every crumb was gone off the
table, though whether the paper people
ate it | cannot tell. | should like to ask

Mr.. Erastus Brooks, in the course of

character of Henry Clay, delivered be-

had an aptitude and fitness for public
service in which he eclipsed all other

with bay rum and hair oil.

to try them on her doll. The long ones
made lovely sashes, and she tied and

Oracle was at the washstand by that
time. turning on the hot water to give
her dolly bathing Tommy found
the cup of creamy soap and the soft little
brush with its ivory handle.
Uncle Jim let'sme take EN-, he said,
complacently, and Uncle Jim really did
sometimes and then with little tremor
of his hands he took the keen razor from
its box and laid it on the bureau.
Coin to shave me some whiskers,
like Uncle Jim, he said, rubbing the
soap into a white froth, and climbing
with dripping hands upon the bureau, to
bring his face close to the chubby face in
the glass. Then he brushed the lather
over his cheeks and chin. How funny he
looked Across his nose and his upper
lip! Tommy had to stop and laugh );

on his forehead. He nearly forgot the
razor; but by and by he remembered it.

The day began Deautllully' When
ANNA and Aunt Mary peeped in at the
:..,c.room door they saw Tommy and
h Cousin Grace, just as sweet and clean
|, two pinks, with their heads close to-
rstber over the elephant book, while
Sobert was telling them the stories. I'm
,rad Robert was not quite particular to
|pnben according to the book, but, at
|,nv rate, they were very funny, and
mamma said
THAT'S right, Robert, . you look after
he children little, and tell Ellen to see
! hat they keep their clothes clean. We
|shlb be back again by lunch time.
Itseems very strange, but it is per-
|ecdy true, that the moment Robert was
Httoamusing the children he began to
#ndit hard work, and remembered at
feast six different things that he was anx-
S to finish. So first he wentto win
.hm and whistled, and then he took the
pings out Of his pocket and looked them
per, and finally he went out doors, tell
#Rghe children to stay there ill he came
: RNk and that was the last he remem-
ZlHed about them until noon. They got
|nvery well at first. Oracle told the

PROSPECTS,.

On Friday last representatives of the Massa-
chusetts and Southern Construction Company
met the County Commissioner of this county in
the office Of the Commissioners in Yorkville,
when the Commissioner d designated and appoint
ed the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company
as the agent in whose hands to deposit the bonds
of Cherokee township in aid Of the Charleston,
Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad, the bonds to be
delivered to the Construction Company agreea-
bly, to the conditions upon which the township
subscription was made. This would indicate
that work will be commenced in Cherokee town
ship, on this side of the Air Line Railroad, mt an
early day.
We also understand that work will be begun
within a week from to-day on the line between
this place and Rock Hill. Engineer Ramsaur
has been directed to permanently locate the road
bed between this place and Rock Hill, and wiz
probably begin that work at Rock Hill to-mor-
row. Mr.. Urquhart has been instructed to follow
close upon the engineer and secure the right of
way for the line as permanently located. When
these preliminaries have been completed, accord
ing to the information we have, the grading of
the road-bed will begin at as early a time as
practicable.
