Twas thus the honest farmer spoke
The good wife fairly beamed
While DER her face the glad smiles
broke
For this she long had dreamed.
Don't say a word, and when, my
dear,
Our Mary comes from school
III have the best piano here
That's made by brain or tool"
And as he kissed his wife goodbye,
He said again with sparkling eye
I'm going to town to buy good
piano
Alas for secrets, no wthey Ay
When once they find their wings:
And little Tim CHANGED to be nigh
And heard the whisperings;
Two little ears had opened wide,
One little tongue could tell
The joyous news on every side,
And Tim soon told it we'll;
And first into the chicken yard
He cried the news while running
hard:
"Hurrah dads gone to town to buy
good piano"
Still rushing on with all his might,
Into the dairy yard,
He leaped the fence in sheer delight,
Still yelling loud and hard;
He seemed an apparton dire
AS Brindle broke and ran
Her tail erect her eyes on fire,
Upsetting milk and man;
And as the mixer viewed the rout
He learned the cause in joyful shout:
Heard the n@ws, Bill? Dads gone
to town to buy a good piano"
Sweet Bess the dairy maid was next
To hear the gladstone news,
And with her Tom, likewise per-
picked
Saw something to confuse;
For when the youthful herald broke
The news with merry scream,
Sweet Bess and happy Tom awoko
From out blissful dream:
And then they heard Tins voice in
Quirc
In accents Of ecstatic fire
Say did you hear about dad? He
has gone to town to buy a good
piano."
Then racing madly down the road,
With haste he could not stay,
He soon met Sam, high on load
OF fragrant smelling hay;
The prancing horses reared and
AS startled Sam called whoa
Are you gone crazy, Tim he cried,
That you are acting 500"
But Tim, unheeding, cheered again
And asked with all his might and
main:
"You know where dads gone? He's
gone to town to buy Good
Piano"
And so the secret soon was out,
AN thoughts of labor, too,
For ali the workers stood about
And wondered if twas true;
They gathered round the farm yard
gate,
While Tim told what he knew,
Till, just as it was growing late,
The farmer drove in view.
Then eager eyes We're opened wide,
And happy hearts beat high beside
Waiting for Dad to get home from
town with good piano.
The wagon backed up to the door
The men all lent a hand,
And soon across the parlOr floor
There rolled vision grand;
When Mary came from school that
night
How great her glad surprise.
The old home rang with such delight
1t seemed a paradise:
Now all hands round" cried Tiny
Tim
Till heads and hearts were all a.
swim,
For Dad was back from town with
the best piano that Sherman had.

A Christmas Rhyme With Moral.

Twas wonderful tree, hung with silver and gold,
And blazing with caudles-a sight to behold!
From grandma's silk dress, and nice cashmere
shawl,
There were presents for every one. baby and all.
There were whistles and horns for the good little
boys
Who cannot keep Christmas without a big noise;
There were waxen-faced dolls with the loyeliest
curls
To gladden. the hearts of the good little girls.
There was papa's silk muf1er-a beautiful blue;
And mammals nice apron, all hemstitched by Sue;
And big sister Jane gave glad little cry
When she gold watch hanging up very high.
Brother john after hunting the branches all Ger,
Found fine set Of books underneath on the floor;
And good Mary Ann fairly laughed till she cried
As hung on the very top branches she spied
The funniest fruit that you ever saw grow,
Twas pair of stout CATERS that swung to and
fro;
And Of presents for all there was such an array,
That IL l should them 'twould take me all
day.
But there's one little secret want to impart,
I'm 1t Will gladden. each kind little heart,
To know that these children taught to believe
That tbs really more blessed to give than receive.
And SO they have worked with hearty good will,
And each one has saved of his pennies, until
If You Just take peep In that sack by the door
You will see many beautiful gifts for the poor.
So that many. sad hearts will be filled with good
cheer
And will have a glad Christmas and happy New
Year.
Dear children. just try 1t, and then you'll believe
That tits truly more blessed to give than receive

Lincoln's Kindness to Children.

cences of Abraham Lincoln:
Il saw Abraham Lincoln for the first
time In the winter Of 1868. at one of his
public receptions I was only child but
had heard SO much Of Abraham Lincoln
that had a sort of vague idea that he was
not mere man. but some kind of a diyin-
lty. and naturally. I was anxious to see
him. 1 was therefore permitted to ao-
company my father, who was then serving
as chief clerk Of the House of Represent
atives. to one of the presidential receptions
knew nothing of public functions at that
time. and had some sort of notion that We
would only be permitted to gaze upon the
great man from distance. When we came
to him In the line, however, and he bad
greeted my father with a. few pleasant
words and we were about to psss on, the
President said: Wait, one moment;
haven't Shaken hands with the little man.
He took me by the hand. patted me on the
head, said few kind words to me and we
passed on. ,lI.sf
Later in the samel winter I met hiru
again at my own home In Pennsylvania.

The Little Old Lady.
CFor our Little Folks.)

Once a little old lady lived near wood.
She loved the birds and the squirrels. Ev-
cry morning she threw out crumbs for the
birds. She gave corn and nuts to the squir-
rels. One day she saw two of the birds
building a nest Then she put bits of wool
and cotton on branch of a tree.
She even put some of her own soft, white
hair upon the tree. How glad the birds
were! They put the hair into the very best
place in the nest.
There is no other nest so dear as OURS
in all the woods" they said to each other
One day the little old lady put some corn
on the doorstep. Then she sat down to
wait 1t was very still. She sat there for
a long time. All this time Frisk, the squir-
rel sat on the stone wall and looked at her.
He saw the corn, but at first he did not
dare go upon the doorstep.
"She is kind old lady," thought he. II
am sure she will not hurt me. 1 think she
wants me to come
So Frisk came slowly up to the step. AT
last he came up close to her.
Soon his little cheeks were full of corn.
Then he ran away. But soon he came
back
After this Frisk and the little old lady
were the very best of friends.
