The Shavlng-shop.

pa Says it's a good name for him.
His fatherowns a shaving shop, and
it has a great big stick painted all
colors outside the door. He cuts my
hair and my papa's whiskers, and
when I'm big I'm going to let him cut
my whiskers.
Ebon is a very good boy, and comes
over to our house to play with me.
He's better than am, cause some
times get mad; but guess his moth
er thinks I'm pretty good, for she al.
ways lets him come
Sometimes we quarrel. The other
day slid, Let's play we had a shaw
ing-shop like your father s, and you
and me can be the shavers.o
He laughed so hard he had to roll
round on the grass and kick up his
heels, and when I didn't like being
laughed at, he said, Tain't a shaw
ing shop. It's a barber shop But;
| you're a little Teller, and don't know
! any better, I 'spose."
That made me mad, SO | said, eff
I'm a little Teller, you're one too, Ebon
spratt! You're bigger'n me up and
down, but I'm lots bigger sideways
than you are-sop
BY and by | got over being mad
enough so that we could play, but
said should call it a shaving-shop,
and he could call it a barber-shop,
and when my papa got home | was
going to ask him.
We got a chair, and Ann let US take
an old apron to put over the people
| who came to get their hair cut, and [
| got q pair ofscissors and a cup of soap
and water, and then we didn't have
anybody to shave; but just as I was
going toilet Ebon try me, Miss Rogers
| dog came in.
Miss Rogers is visiting next door,
and her dog is a little bit of a thing,
and all covered with hair. His bang
is so long his eyes are most covered
! up.
ooh my says Ebon, there's a gem
perlum that needsit bad Walk right
in, glad to see you's feelin' so WE'LL"
And doggy wagged his tail and was
just as good as he could be and we
cut his bang beautiful, and then |
said toEbon, Lets cut his hair all
off, he must be awful warm. Ifeel
lots better when mine is cut" So we
did.
Somehow he looked funnier when
he was all done than he did with his
hair on, and we thought he looked
queer then.
Miss Rogers came in with him after
supper.
When she took the shawl off and
said, Look at the poorlittle darlingo
my papa got to coughing like any
thing and had to go out Of the room,
and mamma said to Fred, go quick
and get your father some water"
My mamma was real nice to Miss
Rogers, and got Der to feeling some
better, but she talked a good deal to
me that night.
Cause the dog wasn't mine, she
said. I hadn't any right to touch him
unless asked Miss Rogers. l said it
didn't seem as if a dog was like things
that belong to people, if he didn't
care and didn't hurt him thought
it was all right, but wouldn't do
anything like that again.
| had to go over and 'pologize to
Miss Rogers this morning, but for
got to ask papa about Ebon'sfather,s
| shop. l am pretty sureit's ashaving-
| shop though. Youths Companion.
| His Hand Across His Eyes.
| Let us be careful how we condemn
| people. Often the warmest hearts
| beat under the toughest exteriors. A
| little kindness, a pathetic appeal, q
| word OF cordial appreciation, willmelt
and soften the coolest and hardest
heart. Thus was it with the seeming
| ~ gruH old gentleman, whose tender
feelings no one would have imagined
could accompany his brusqueness of
manner.
He was grumpy, choleric old man,
and as he stumped down lower Broad
way the little urchins ran out of his
way for fear he would hit them with
his big thick cane as he passed. Not
far from the Battery his eyes alighted
on q little pale-faced woman, who was
walking toward him from an opposite
direction.
There was a baby, or rather a girl,
Il
Of age, in her arms, and she staggered
along under her heavy load with a
weary expression on her face.
The day was hot: and the prespira-
ton streamed off her, while her slight
figure contrasted strangely with the
weight she bore, though the child, too,
looked wan and had q pinched look
about the face that poverty and pri-
walton alone could bring. He noted
these facts as he walked along, and
by the time the woman got up to him
he was in a passion.
What do you mean, madam, /" he
said, ''by carrying about big girl
ike that and killing yourself by til?
Let her walk by herself, Women are
far too sacrificing for their children. z
The woman halted as though shot,
and staggered to a nearby railing for
support. Then she sat down on a
stoop, while the old man prepared to
