Hardly Ever without a Smile.

1t was sultry day in August, and q
tired, over-heated woman bad toiIed
all day in the little pent-up kitchen.
At last the baking was all done and
the last dish, was washed and wiped, d,
and she pressed one hand on her
throbbing temples and sighed as she
reached up to take the mop down from
it's hook 10 scrub the kitchen floor.
Things had "gone wrong" all day, and
she scolded and grumbled to herself
while she pushed the heavy mop to
and fro, back and forth, or wrung out
the thick cloth with aching fingers.
She felt that her lot was hard. to be
baking and scrubbing and fainting all
that day, while her neighbor lust over
the fence was lying at ease in her ham
mock out undert the trees and singing
"oh, nobody knows the trouble havep
Presently door ives opened softly
and her little daughter picked her way
with prudent steps where the floor had
not been wet and climbed to safe
perch on the table. The mother mop
ped away, hoping she need not speak
to her. "If open my mouth 1 shal
say something cross" she thought,
and kept her lips shut tightly.
The little one watched her for
short time, bending her sunny head
this way and that to study the down
cast countenance, and finally she
spoke.
Mamma" said she, II have hardly
ever seen you without a smile ON your
face"
lone time when you looked sorry
was when / was SO sick, and the OJhel
time was now," resumed the serious
little voice; and the child leaned heI
cheek upon her hand and sighed.
The MOP handle dropped suddenly
upon the floor, and two bare arms for.
gOt their aches and pains and clasped
the darling in fond embrace. Sing
to me, Alice. Sing:
Nobody knows the comfort have
while I finish this patch of dirty floor
There's one good thing about a little
tucked.up kitchen, it doesn't take long
to scrub it,"
So it came to pass that out of that
day of weary toll was learned timely
lessonof self-control and patience that
never was forgotten. Two times of
''looking sorry" were quite sufficient
to live in the memory Of her children.
American Messenger.
The mother turned away for mo.
ment's rapid thought. Was it indeed
true that she had made such an i'm
preston on that dear child's heart
and should she spoil it now? Should
she not rather set herself thencelorth
to keeping q smiling face through all
life's petty trials How sweet to be
remen, bered thus by all the children
and her husband, too, for pleasant
looks and ways!
