Twas with an aunt in Northbridge, Mass
resting after "A long session of teaching, and
Mr. Beecher came there during this visit
to teach for the first time through a vaca
ton. And here, where he taught his first
school, he also preached his first sermon.
Evening service was being held in the lit.
tie, old school house where he taught, and
the villagers had requested Mr. Beechcr tc
take charge Of it for that evening. At first
he was surprised, but he quickly collected
himself and consented to preach.

Along a suburban street any bright
morning may be seen a small boy walking
sedately beside his nurse, trundling hoop
riding very small bicycle or driving an
obstreperous goat in u blackboard that is
too handsome to be smashed, as it will
be soon, and the boy with it, probably.
The young gentleman has not only plenty
of playthings, but plenty of clothes The
suits he seems to feel most comfortable in
have knickerbockers that stop above the
knee, and long, belted workman's blouse.
A white pique suit made in this way has
the blouse gathered at the neck under a
band of black velvet ribbon. The ribbon
runs down each shoulder, covering the
fastening of the blouse, belts it, and trims
1t around the bottom.
The knickerbockers have black velvet
buttons on the outside at the knee. Long
white stockings are worn, and black patent
leather slippers, with black velvet bows
A hat goes with this suit which the boy
hates because, as he says it is "a girls
hat" 1t is a washbasin shape, of white
pique, stitched around and around until it
is stiff and having large bow of black
velvet on the crown.
Though this little boy is as fond of fun
and frolic as any little boy may be, yet he
has his moments of majesty when he prom
enades in state, and his bearing says plain
ly: Here | am, dressed to be looked at.
Take advantage of your opportunityp 1t
is then that he is very funny, so amusing
is a boys vanity. Mothers and nurses will
attest that boys often have more vanity
than girls. Whether the trait disappears
in after life is another and larger ques-
ton. But in young or old vanity fire.

have given up horse racing in favor Of a
game which has still higher possibilities

individuals do not lay such heavy wagera
as were sometimes made by the "pIungers"
of old, much more money is wagered now

And bloom by rock bound sea
Bright as on the nowery lea,
And my sweets give as free
