Erllest's Punishment.

Ernest and Elsie were spending the
summer at Grandpa Darling's in the
country.
Such lovely old place as it was, and
such dear, kind grandpa and grandma,
could not be found anywhere else in
the wide world, the children thought.
Il just wish all the world was in the
country, and all the year was vacation,
and all the people were grandpas and
grandmas," cried Ernest one day to his
little sister.
The day seems so very short, and
there was so much to do and see, that
they agreed to get up early in the
morning. So they appeared in the
kitchen one morning before the sun had
got very far on his days journey.
well! Well!" said grandpa, "what
are these children up at this time of
day for, I wonder?"
Cause we can't spend the time
sleeping here" said Elsie, Eve can
make it up when we go home"
Then they ran out to see 'Lijah, the
nlred man, strain the foaming pals OF
milk into the big, green creamer, and,
as usual, he filled their own mugs with
Tie sweet, warm milk. Then Grover
ana Rebecca, the cats, were fed, and
The hens and chickens were given their
measure OF corn.
Such rare pleasure was this to the
CITY children that they could hardly
stop to eat the nice breakfast grand
MA mad prepared. But it was almost
~ hard to stop eating, everything
tasted SO good.
Alter prayers, grandpa told 'Lijah to
[lage.
>, 10 you s'pose he'll take us?" asked
Ernest LIE q. whisper, as he stood with
isle watching grandpa packing eggs
"a big basket.
Maybe he won't think of IT," whis-
cred back Elsie, "and mamma said we
@As'nt tease; but do hope he will. !"

FIN. Fiction, and Fact for
Our Juvenile Readers.
1.-THE CHILDREN OF GIDEON"
Earnest and Elsie's Happy Visit to Their
Grandfather in His Country Home.
Noble Born

There is story called "The Child
ROY, of Gideon" by Walter Besant,
which is not intended for children to
read particularly, and I fear they would
find it very long and dull; but I men
ton the title because there is something
in it which will interest everybody, I
think. to hear about.
There are two delightful girls in this
story who grow up together in very
beautiful home. They ara not sisters,
but they might as we'll have been, so
far as anybody could see. because Lady
Mildred loved them both dearly and
gave them the same lessons and the
same clothes. The girls knew, how
ever, and everybody knew, that one of
them was Lady Mildrcd's own daughter,
and the otter was the child of hard
working washer-woman, but no one
except Lady Mildred herself knew
which was which.
When they were grown up their
grandmother carried them TO see their
poor brothers and sisters. They found
one of the sisters living with two
other girls in wretched room and they
we're all earning their living by sewing
all day long. They were in great misery.
When these two beautiful girls saw
these wretched sewing women and knew
one of them to be their own sister, they
we're moved with compassion, but they
were affected differently. One was
filed with horror and distress, and
wept and put her hands over her eyes
as if to shut the vision out; the other
said she must go away then, but she
should come back if they wanted her,
and she did go back, and live among
them and made their lives more COM
Portable.
Now, it turned out that the girl who
could not bear the sight Of poverty was
the poor woman's child and the one
who went and lived and worked for the
sewing girls was Lady Mildred's child
and what we got out of the story is this
that real nobility is not afraid to look
misery in the face, nor to do hard work,
nor considers itself too delicate to &c
among the poor-but, on the contrary,
is brave and fearless, and strong tc
carry help to those who are in need.
What q wonderful thing it is to get all
this out Of what seemed mere story
But we learn after while in this world
to find quite as much truth in stories as
We do in other books which are less in
tereStng. 1t seems to me that many
young people in hearing about these
two girls will at once remember tina!
they were born to be noble, and will
learn to live for others in such way
as to prove themselves worthy of the
advantages they have inherited from
truly noble, because truly excellent
fathers and Vide A,vahe.

Elm Mills Items.

The prospects are good here for a
crop season. Wheat looks fine and
there VIII be large corn crop planted
here this spring. The farmers are
finding out that it pays to raise corn to
feed their stock better than to let 1T
rustic for living through the winter,
and then have to pull their hides in the
spring. Cattle are looking well as a
general thing. The mill is doing a
good business; it has good men at the
head who aim to do the fair thing by
everyone. T. y. Smith has left South
Elm and gone TO Nebraska. Lew
Frame and ). ID. Jackson have return
ed from their skunk hunt in the terri
tory; they brought back one hundred
