when he wanted to if he would fill the

The little fellow went to work and with

meantime to reckon the weeks in the old
almanac that hung beneath the mantle,
and when the last week was up he went
to his mother with Now, Ma, I've earned
my rocking horse, where is it?' As the
mother raised her eyes to that beautiful,
trusting face, her heart beat out her duty,
and she casped her noble boy in her en-
brace and confessed her forgetfullnes of
it all but renewed her promise which was
made good on the following morning. A
despatch was sent to the nearest town

rocking horse all saddled and bridled and
fit for the son Of king to sit upon. When
the little boy saw it he exclaimed sob. my

lost it, she would have given all her
earthly possessions. Dear Sisters. let us

MIR. Beecher's Estate.

Henry Ward Beecher left conpara-

tate in the Peekslill which cost him
about Sl5O,O0O. >IIe had insurance pol

10000 or $25, 900, and in hot haste his
heirs sold his pictures and books and all
personal belongings endeared to his
friends, at ali events by many, many
years of close association with the dear
old man, and now how does it stand?
The S15O,000 place at Peekskill has
literally gone to seed Those magnih-
cent fower-beds, on which the old man
eloquent spent years of thought, for
tunes of experience and thousands OF
dollars earned by the sweat OF his i'm
perial brow, are choked with weeds
and overrun with grasses. Already
the market price of the place has fallen
to $50, 900, and I understand-in fact, I
have seen it stated in print-that an Of

WIDOWS SCHEME
How She Supported Herself Without Per-
forming Any Work.


forming Any Work.
There was a poor woman living in one
of the little shanties uptown, with a
large family of pigs, goats, geese and
children swarming around it. She sup
ports her family by taking in washing,
and her poverty and industry have Sc
cured for her the compassion and the
washing of number OF benevolent la
dies. One OF these ladies' recently
demonstrated with her on the size
of her bills, and said. that she had
to pay much more for her washing than
she did at any OF the laundries. The
hard-working widow admitted that this
was the case, but she respectfully, but
firmly, declined to reduce her price.
''You see, ma'am," she said, II do
thevery finest handwork, and itwouldn't
pay me to do it for the price the laun-
dries get for machine work. II you
compared my work with theirs you
would see great difference. Those Chi
namen living in dirt like pigs are taking
the bread out of honest women's mouths.
I don't see how any lady can be willing
to send her clothes to them. OF course
they 60 it cheap when they have no
families to support and can live on al
most nothing; but they tear, your
clothes all to pieces, and dear knows
what you catch from them. No, ma'am,
you'd better pay little more and have
your clothes done nicely by clean, re-
spectacle woman, besides helping her
to support her family"
The lady was influenced by this can
did statement, and decided to continue
her patronage. But a few weeks after
she was surprised to see emerging from
a Sing Sing laundry in her neighbor-
hood the well-known figure of the son
of the poor bat honest laundress, stag
gering under g huge bundle Of clothes.
A dark suspicion crossed the mind of
the charitable woman. Having slight
acquaintance with Sing Sing from few
previous negotiations, she entered the
laundry and made some cautious inqui-
ries about the boy who had just gone
out Sing Sing readily acknowledged
that he came every week with large
bundle, and it was too obvious that the
poor but honest and hardworking laun-
dress was doing an easy and profitable
business by subletting the washing
given by her customers to the much
despised Chinaman against whom she
had warned them so vigorously.-Gi-

THE LAND OF LAKES.
An English Travellers Impression Of tho
Province of Finland.

An EnSiSh travellers Impression OF Cn0
Province Of Finland.
Finland is, in the language of the
country, Suomesimaa, ''the land of
lakes" and this is really the truth, as
no less than one-third is under water.
Much OF this is, however, marsh land,
though the lakes Saima, Lodoga, En-
are, ETC., cover some thousands OF square
miles. The surface of the country is
fiat, with a chain Of low hills about the
center, the highest of these being the
mountain ':Aavasaksa-" The coasts
are deeply indented and picturesque,
with bold granite cliffs standing clear
out against the deep blue sky, and
many islands belonging to the Archi-
pelago of Aland dot the surface of its
western waters. Inland there are dense
forests OF pine, fir and birch, which have
strange and enthralling influence up
on the imagination. Notwithstanding
their usually sonber aspect, there are
innumerable pleasant glades in the re-
ccsses of these woods, where the tall
white-stemmed birch and great bould-
ers covered with lichen crop up from
the grass and form a pleasant picture;
besides this the lakes have beauty
solemn and roInantic-Which can scarce
ly be found elsewhere. The landscape,
too, dotted with numerous windmills,
and the church towers, built apart from
the places Of worship, present strange
pictures. From these towers the night
watchmen sound their horns or play up
on triangles as an alarm of fire.
Often in the dead of night
great blaze on tie horizon will tell of
some forest FIFE. These are mainly
owing to the carelessness of the peas
antry, and, combined with the great tex-
portation of timber and its lavish use
for firewood and for building purposes,
have caused great rise in its value
within the last few years. Travelling in
the country, though cheap, is not al
wars pleasant. Many Of the roads are
what would be described as corduroy"
that is, having rough logs laid across,
over which ones vehicle bumps and
jumps in manner calculated to make
the bones sore for considerable time
after journey. The velocity with
which the natives send the carriage
down hills is also likely to try the
nerves OF any not to the manner born.
Most persons posting through Finland
have their own vehicles-wheeled ones
for the summer and sledges for the
winter-and they change horses at each
stage of about fifteen versts (ten Eng
lish niles). Should you have to trust
to the post-house for a conveyance you
are more likely than not condemned to
travel In a cart without springs and a
hard seat with no back to it OF an ordi-
nary work sledge. The charge for post
ing is little enough, being ten Finnish
pennies I'D English) per verst, and the
driver is required by law to take you at
the rate of one Swedish or seven Eng
lish miles per hour.-Co7mhi1 Mag.

PUTTING BABY TO BED,
An Incident Which May Prove of :7reat
Value to Many Parents.


Last spring spent night with a
friend. There were two children in
the family-the youngest & bright,
restless boy, four years Old, who might
stand for the typical American c:t:ld
aptly defined as - bundle CT merry Is. y
A lady and gentleman with thc;r two
children were visitors 1T the house,
and after supper, Mrs. Brown, aneigh-
Dor, left her little boy ard cir! in my
friends care while she went to make a
call in the village.
The evening wore on. The children
played hard, and little Franks eyes
opened wider and wider with the in
toXication OF the unusual excitement.
After his bedtime was long past, his
mother came into the room where her
husband and I sat. and asked, anxious
ly: "What shall do? I told Frank he
could sit up until Mrs. Brown came
after her children, supposing she
would be gone only q few minutes.
Now, shall I break my promise to him,
or risk his being cross and i'll by all
this excitement"
Her husband raised his voice g. little,
and said: '.Es' here is Frank? l want
to see him"
The child Immediately left his play
in the dining-room and ran to his
father. who lifted him in his arms and
held him from him for moment. ther,
clasping him lovingly, asked, in that
jovial tons OF comradeship no child
could resist:
Whose boy are you?"
OF course the answer came. proudly:
"Papa's boy
MY boy!''--;s little surpsised-'are
you sure?"
The child laug.,ingiy re-asserted his
ownership.
"Wcll," continued the father, '',ny
boy always docs just what his mother
thinks bcst-goes to bed just when she
thinks its time
a pause. Are you sure you're my
boy?" OF. yes, he was papa's boy.
Then mamma" said the wise father,
'sy ou can undress this fellow just as
fast as you like
The child was put into his little bed
in an adjoining room whence he could
hear the merry chatter OF the other
children and the talk of the older peo-
pie and see the bright lights. There
was no lamp in his room, but somebody
laid down on the bed with him for a
few minutes, when all at once he
turned his face TO the wall and his clos
ing eyelids almost caught the happy
laugh on his lips as he dropped Off to
dreanalaud. said to myself: 81 will
put an account OF this incident where
the fathers and mothers Of those ba-
bies who associate bedtime with q cy
clone Of sobs, tears and spankings, or
q barter of candy and sugar for obedi-
ence, may read and profit by it if they
will. ."-A1ana III. Libby, tn Christian
