member one day-you were in the
room, too w hen she ragged at Joey till
caught up the little, sobbing fellow and
carried him away; and unhappily, he
remembers it and has spoken of ii
many times" An orpahn girl lived
for some years in house where there
was continual nagging and fault-fnd-
ing from mother and father, sisters and
brothers. She had spent few weeks
with gentle motherly woman, and on
the last day of her visit, as she sat with
the loving arms about her, she said
looking up with pitiful appeal in the
sensitive face, "Oh, you don't know
how sorry I am to leave you. Pm sor.
ry for many reasons, but most of all
because your voice is so sweet and soft.
Some voices-hard, angry voices-seem
to go through and through me. ]
dread, I dread to hear them"
A vivid recollection of a visit to q
summer resort is of an irritable, invalid
mother and her unhappy, harassed boy.
She nagged at him in the dining-room
till the poor child lost all appetite.
One morning the father came down
alone; and explained that mother was
not we'll enough to come to breakfast.
Whereupon the boy, with child-like
frankness. exclaimed, "Oh, Pm go
glad" Then, seeing his fathers re-
proving glance, he explained: "You
know papa, Pm not glad she sick; but
but do enjoy my breakfast so much
more when she's not here" The Wo-
man was an egotist. Her own ailments
were her continual theme, and the
comfort of her husband and child was
wholly disregarded.
"I think mamma doesn't like me,
auntie," said another sensitive child.
oh, if she would only sometimes seem
satisfied with me, and speak to me as
you do to Nellie! I used to try so hard
to please her, but it isn't any good, for
no matter what do she always thinks
it is wrong"

a Guess.


to their backs stood in the corner
of noisy, bustling street waiting for
car, and meanwhile laughing and talk
ing merrily. Suddenly one of them
thoughtlessly sang out, "come here,
and I'll pick you up," and the other,
looking to see what had brought forth
the rude remark, saw poorly-dressed
old woman just struggling up from the
muddy crossing where she had fallen,
and watching anXiously and fearfully
the whirling carts passing by. He
was at her side in moment.
Let me help you, madam" he said
kindly, taking her arm and lifting q
basket that stood beside her.
She gave him grateful look, but
did not speak until they both stood
safe on the sidewalk.
Can 1 put you on car, madam ?'
the boy asked.
The woman's lips quivered. "You
are very kind" she said, "and 1 thank
you but IN just rest here minute,
and then I'll have to 60 back over that
crossing" shivering at the thought
of the tiresome confusion.
"You see," she continued, lifting the
cover Of the big basket, "some of the
clothes slipped out and got muddy,
so I must take them home and do
them over"
She looked so weary and discouraged
that the lad felt there was something
else to do.
"You were on your way to deliver
them ?" he questioned.
eyes to Judge Monroe's."
"Ah,n said he, "that't near where /
live. I'll believer the clean things for
you, if you like, and you can carry the
others back home and DO them over"
Her poor old eyes frightened, but
still it did not seem possible that the
handsome, well-dressed lad would do
this service for her, poor old washer
woman.
"Where do you live?" he asked.
ION the corner of Quay street-a
long ways from here"
EYES," says he, ~ know"
And presently she found herself in a
street car, passage paid to Quay street,
and silver dollar in her hand, "to pay
for the bother of doing the clothes
over" the lad had whispered. Her
eyes were full of tears, but she had not
been SO happy in a good while. When
the conductor passed her, she said,
"Do you know who that boy is that
put me on the carp"
"Oh, yes," he replied, "thats DR..
Seymour's sou. He's always doing a
helpful turn to some one."
"Bless him ?" the old woman said to
herself. "Bless him! He's kind lad
die, and he'll be grand man some
day."
Meanwhile the lad was in another
street car with the basket of clothes,
which he delivered with merry smile
and low bow to Mrs. Monroe, who
laughed as she said, "Why, Frank,
dear what does this mean? Are you
running laundry?"
He told her Of the misfortune of the
poor old laundress, and made graphic
picture of her fear of muddy crossings,
the result of which was that Mrs.
Monroe resolved that henceforth she
would pay the car-fare back and forth
for the poor old soul.
"'rO think that boy should be more
thoughtful than a woman of my age"
was her regretful thought. "Bless the
laddie He is laying the foundation OF
noble manhood"
The worn old laundress and the aris-
tocratic Mrs. Monroe, you see, were
both making the same prophecy.
