Agnes Carstairs gave her little
friends In her class in the Presbyte-
rian Sunday school a pleasant after

parents, near the river The large
box swing was availed by the visitors,

a good while, concluded she could
get more real comfort by giving her
friends a party, than in any ether
way. Her father had been paying her
SO much money regularly on her
school department reports, very
clever plan. The day being rainy, a
number of the invited could not at
tend, but there were sbout dozea,
and they had a royal time. The little
| most received some nice little tokens
from her friends which will serve to
recall the day.
