JENN1E's SET.

Jennie was a pretty little girl with
laughing blue eyes and rosy cheeks and
bright, curly hair. She lived In the coun-
try with her father and mother and baby
brother IN a large farm house. On Jen-
broush, her a guinea pig for a birthday
present. At rrst she thought 1t waa
funny thing TO give little girl for a
present, but then. as she said, Uncle Tom
always did differently TO other people.
Jennie SOON grew to he wonderfully fond
Of her dear little Popsy. which was the
name she gave TO the gueinea pig. The
pretty lsstie animal. too. quickly grew
10 know her and to- run after her. Jennie
used 10 feed her/p pet with green food.
Jennie taught her little Popsy to do some
funny tricks, and 1t was very obedient:
and as Jennie, am sorry to say, did not
sometimes like to do the things she was
told to do. her mother hoped her pet
would teach her obedience. Jennles
greatest punishment when she had been
I very naughty was not to be allowed to
zee her guinea pig for the reat OF that
day. Great was the delghtaof the little
girl when one wet afternoon, heESmothar
drew Popsys portrait. which. Jennie da-i
.lared was "just like Popsy," and, SO
pleased was she with It that she saved
hp all her cents and dimes to- buy O.
frame for It. Jennie asked her mother to-
let her begin to learn to draw at once,
Is she thought 1t would be SO nice for her
10 make a picture Of Popsy herself.

THE LOST FOUND.

1t was Memorial Day-a beautiful day
IN May-and little Margaret. clad In a
dainty white dress with her arms laden
with roses and other flowers, was going
TO decorate all the graves OF Confederate
soldiers; but most Of all she wanted to
decorate the grave Of her great-uncle,
who had been colonel. She had heard
much about him and her great wish was
that she could have seen him before he
died. Not one Of his relatives had seen
him buried, but they had been told by a,
stable hoy that this was his grave, and
now a handsome monument marked his
last resting place. AS Margaret tenderly
laid on the flowers she spied an old man
looking intently at the headstone.
well, declare. a little girl decorating
my supposed grave" he exclaimed.
What Is your name. denr?" he Nsked,
And when she answered margaret

and said. "My own little great-nece, they

and he will eat from your hand. He Is
young and his owner has not taught him
any tricks. He has high post in front
Of his office, and he takes Jack out and
he will go up to the top in the sun, but
he does not Like to stay out of his cage
much, especially on the post, because
crowd gathers around him and It fright
ems him, because he isn't used to It; and
he is very glad when he can go back to
his cage. His master ,can take him on
his arm and scratch his back. He has a
cage, but he does' not stay In 1t much.
He has a shelf beside his cage, and he
lies on that most Of the time. He has
rope BY the shelf, and he likes to be
swung On It. If YOU will just pull the
chain which Is around his neck, he will
jump on the rope. and he seems to know
what It means.

And now none at all made Of me.

And not good to play with any more,

And that makes me awful sore.

But again, never. never!

SOLDIERS.

Here rests the weary soldier,
Sweet Is the toiler's rest:
While fragrant blossoms softly sigh
Above their pulseless breast,
Wreaths. anchors. crowns and crosses.
10 grace their dreamess sleep.
And solemn music heayenward swells.
And loved ones DER them weep.
You can tell mo Of the heroes
On the land or on the deep,
Who have fought their way TO glory,
And upon their laurels sleep.
But these soldiers OF whom It's written.
Answered duty's call one day,
And performing II were smitten.
Ii And great ana brave were they.
Sad to think of wives and loved ones,
F Sorrowing at the brink Of death,
Left alone to fight life's battles.
Left alone without beluest,
Weep not women thus hereft
Lean ye on his mighty arm
He remembers who Is left,
iie Will shelter from the storm.
