a CARD.

To the Editor: The members of Col.
Blacknall's family are deeply grateful
to Mrs. Haynes for naming his grave
as one of those to be marked by the
money she collected. But as before
stated in these columns, Col. Black
nails grave will be suitably marked
by the family. Years ago all arrange
ments were made to place marble
slao over it, when, believing that a
shaft would better become a soldiers
grave, it was decided to wait till one
could be erected. This shaft will he
in place before the end of the year.

the old gentleman, looking at the child
severely over his goId-rimmed glasses.
"You don't scrub at home, and have
no business to be missing school You
go straight home to your ma"
Nobody asked her to scrub" said the
woman, who was azily filing Contents
basket with some Of her own things.
Stung by this base ingratitude, to say
nothing OF Mr.. Frcnch's reproof, Content
started homeward on run. She was
soon obliged to stop and rest, for her
arms and back ached and her wet skirts
chung to herin very unpleasant way. She
found she was tired, as well as insulted,
but bore up bravely until she came in
sight of the schoolhouse. 1t was too
late to think OF going i'll there, for the
children were Just hurrying in from their
morning recess. She then remembered,
with bitter regret, that she was at the
head OF the spelling class and would now
have to begin at the foot, instead ofpass-
ing down in triumph Friday evening.
Besides, Martha Jessup had promised to
bring her big lump of maple sugar for
recess, which of course Martha had now
eaten herself This was too much for her to
bear, even in thought so Content finished
her homeward walk in tears. She
thought she might as well begin her lam
entations first as last, for there was no
knowing what awaited her when her
mother saw the dress and apron and
found that her daughter had disobeyed
her.
When Mrs. Graft saw her little girl, her
heart was moved to pity, so she did not
scold in very severe way, even over the
loss of the basket, which meant some
thing in those days.
Change your dress so as to be offearly
for school at noon, and don't let me ever
catch you doing such trick again." she
said, trying to look severely at poor Con-
tent. Il suppose you are hungry after
so much hard work so this time I'll let
you have one of the hot turn-overs I've
just taken out of the brick oven. But
remember, my child, there is nothing
gained by neglecting your own duty to
help Others, nor by doing for them what
they ought to do themselves. y Myra
