Little Charley of a Nice Time.
Once upon a time there was good
pretty little Charley, and there was a
naughty little Charley, with his face
all scowled up. These Charleys were
Just of an age, and had the same father
and mother and baby sister. vet they
were not twins; no. indeed, not by half !,
For good little Charley's sake hate to
tell a. but the truth is that he and
naughty little Charley We're one and
the same boy. This good-and bad little
fellows whole name was Charley Nye,
and he was five years old on his last
birthday.
1t was the naughty Charley that
awolle first that morning, and before
he was fairly dressed he began to whine
and tease.

on great toboggan in the park"
"Oh, will you, papa? Oh, thank YOU
ever so much cried good little Char
ley, who must have been all the time at
naughty little Charley's elbow. And
good little Charley and papa walked
down to brea <fast hand in hand.
When mamma heard their plan she
smiled, and said that if Charley's cold
was no worse by afternoon, he certain
~ might go to the park. Then she
brought him his medicine.
Now this medicine was cough cor
dial, spicy and sweet. which the little
boy liked very much: and no sooner
had he swallowed one teaspoonful of it,
than he begged for second. But
mamma put the vial in the cupboard,
saying that for the present Charley had
taken quite enough.
''Oh, dear ! think my mamma s sell
fish. Ny mamma wants me to be not
any better" unused the old naughty lit
tie Charley, bouncing back again into
good little Charley's place. "Oh. when
I'm big man. like papa. III drink up
every bit of mederson there is in this
house.
He tried hard to cough. but nobody
seemed to notice; so he sullenlv ate his
breakfast with longing look now and
then at the red vial on the lower shelf
The more he looked at il. the more he
wanted it: and Ivy and by when he was
left alone in the dining-room, ne slipped
down from the table and crept toward

mamma anuS say no. S'pose ! can reach
that cunning little bottle?"
Alas and alas! this was the naughty
little Charley. He listened. Nobody was
coming. Next he climbed into babvs
high chair, and laid his hand on the
vial. Then he listened again; and after
that he pulled ont the cork quickly.
and took a taste of the sirup. ''Oh. its
so good and I've got such cough"
said he taking a second taste. x pect
