GODS PUNISHMENT CAME TO HIM.

GODS PUNISHMENT CAME TO HIM.
The railor's wife took her little boy
OUT for Il walk the day after they moved
next door to the undertaker's. The little
fellow stopped just outside the wide win,
dows and pointed his chubby toreiingee
ut the white coffin within.
What's that mother?" he asked. He
Ind never Ger II coffin.
That's what they put little boys in
when they're naughty" said THE moth
er. That's the way God Furnishes"
The bonny, boisterous lad was a great
trial TO her sometimes when she was
weary with household cares. and she re-
sorted to almost any tale to keep him
quiet.
Every day after that the brown-eyed
boy stood for many minutes and looked
AT the tiny collins behind the heavy
glass. He grew very obedient, too, but
the mother had become so accustomed
o ~fault-tinding that she never noticed
how well he minded, but continued tc
scold. just the anne. With every re-
proof his beautiful brown eyes would
grow dark with n mist OF tears, and he
would ask. half fcarfully:
will you put me in the white box for
TINT, mother? Will God punish me
now"
Months passed. One day the restless
feet went astray again, and the mother
in the moment Of her extreme veXation,
punished him more severely thar usual

err" he pleaded over and over again be,
tween his sobs.
So saying, he fell asleep. When he
awoke the fever was on him, and the
pattering feet wandered away no more.
Another week passed. Then the brown
eyes looked up into hers. the pale lips
Quivered. and he said feebly:
Have you got the white box. mother?
Has God punished me YETI"
Two days later the carriages came and
bore him away in state. Gods punish
ment had come.-Chicago Tribune.
