A JAPANESE STORY.
roId by n Native of Japan TO IN Audience
In Rochester.
THE END OF THE PROLOGUE

At Y. Nj. G. A. hall the other after.
noon Yeataso Okano, a japanese, told
the following story to a large audience,
says the Rochester Post Express:
"Once upon a time there lived in a
little hamlet in Japan a young couple.
They bad one child, a beautiful little
girl, whom both loved very dearly. 1t
came to pass while the child was still a
baby girl that the father was Obliged to
take a long journey to the far-dislant
city. 1t was too far for him to take his
wife and child. so he left them at home
and travelled alone.
things which, having lived in the peace
full little hamlet up among the moun-
tains all his life, he had never seen be-
fore. He desired TO take home to his
wife some of these new things which
seemed TO him so wonderful. Aud the
most wonderful gift he could take. it
seemed to him. was a mirror. He wished
TO take home to his wife the pleasure and
surprise he had experienced when be
first looked into a mirror. So he took
one home to mis- wife.
when he arrived home he gave the
present to his wife and for the first time
she looked into a mirror. What do you
see?' her husband asked. She replied;
i declare! | see a very pretty woman.
She wears her hair just rs | do mine
and she smiles and moves her lips rs il
she were talking to me- Her husband
told her that the mirror was a present
for her and he hoped she would use il
every day. But the wife thought il
far too beautiful and rare and costly a
gift to use every day; so she put it
carefully away and never spoke about
it TO the little daughter. who grew more
beautiful and more like her mother
every day.
by and by a great misfortune fell
upon that little household. The wife
and mother fell sick and it was soou
evident that she must die. As she lay
upon her deathbed she called her little
daughter to her and told her that she
was going to lose her mother forever.
She could point to no future life aftey
death, in which they should be reunited.
But in the love and simplicity Of her
heart she did the best she could; she told
her little daughter about the wonderful
mirror. After | am dead she said,
take down that box and look into the
mirror that it contains. There you will
see my face; and | want you to look into
the mirror every day that you may
never forget your mother and that you
may grow like me, more and more every
day
$50 the mother died. The little girl
did as she had been told and in the won
derful mirror she thought she saw her
mothers face. young and beautiful. not
as she had seen her. pale and i'll IS she
lay dying, but fair and fresh as she had
looked before the fatal illness. And
the little girl looked into the mirror
every day and thought of her mother
and her many lovely ways, and SO il
came about that she grew to be more
and more like her mother as the years
went by"

And kitty's dear eyes winkled brightly,
And kitty's brown hair blew so free,
While i sat with my arr about Kitty,
And she with her arm about me.
Last night we drove I'm our carriage,
To the wall at the top Of the hill;

And we talked again of that moonlight,
That danced so mad on the sea.

But we sat I'm the carriage last night,
