Tale of q Mirror.

Dear girls and boys. did you ever
think of the stories treasured in that
large mirror Of which you have to be
so careful? Would you ever suspect
from its shining appearance that the
great glass has grown old by looking
and rejecting?
All kinds of pictures have been set
within it's frame; many of your own;
some laughing and bright, others
pouting and sad. The peculiar thing
about a mirror is that il always gives
YOU back exactly what you bring to it.
There would be the boys and girls
sliding down the baluster and father
hurrying out to save the chandelier;
there you would all be around the pi-
ano singing My Country, "Tis OF
Thee and there-oh. there IL your
birthday party! oh, look al the chill
dreD's gay clothes and see the pretty
decorations! Can you see farther

mothers great.grandmamma looked
when she was little? And her cousin

before the pretty little lady. Their
