Mr.. Hardiwick's was the last place |
attended, and | am not gon' to forget
it very soon, l can tell YOU. Thank
goodness, I'm not one of those gossipy
critters who CAD about telling every
thing they hear and see. No one can
lay that up agin me; but I've a down
right good notion to tell what happened
at Mr.. Hardiwick's one night. OF
course it won't go any further, and,
dear sakes, wouldn't have Mrs. Hard
iwick know anything about it for the
world.
Mrs. Hardiwick has everything heart
could wish, except in her husband If
she could swap him she'd be a'nough
sight better off; but then, You see, she
can't do that, and l don't know as it
makes any difference to me, as l don't
have to put up with his tantrums.

middle of the night; but was expect
in it and had my basket packed and
was ready. All went well and she got
on nicely. The baby was a lovely
child and her things and its things was
just perfect. Poor, dear soul, she had
everything she wished, with the exceo-
ton of Mr. Hardiwick. He might be
improved on considerable if he was
made over agin; but said that afore,

A certain charitable mission enter

church, is presided over by the young
assistant minister of the church, who
is much admired for.his personal
graces as well as for his piety and zeal

in the work of instructing, elevating
and amusing the boys who resort to
the mission by some good ladies of the
parish, and particu arly by u young
woman whose benevolent interest in
Che mission work has been supposed
TO include the clergyman at its head.
She had been indefatigable in her en-
deavors to teach and entertain the boys,
and often addressed them in little
speeches.
The other Sunday this young lady
was speaking to the boys in the pres
ence of the clergyman. She had ex-
horted them to be good and studious,
to avoid bad company, profanity and
other demoralizing things, and closed
her little exhortation with these words
