JenGy's Lessen.


Jenny" said a very tired mother
to her daughter one afternoon, evil
you help me sew this braid on your
sisters dress?"
"Oh, mother how can you ask me
to help you when you know that ii
takes all my time to make those pic
turea?"
What pictures?" inquired her
mother.
"Why, a lot of-us girls met yester-
| lay at Kate Eaton's house, and
formed a club-we call it the Busy
Workers because we are making
pictures for the poor sick children
in the New York Hospital. Do you
not think it a good plan?"
perhaps it is," said her mother
absently.
So Jenny, leaving her mother to
sew on the braid, started upstairs to
make pictures. She had not been up
there very long when Katie Eaton
came in.
"Well Kate" said Jenny, Il
thought you were never coming"
Il would have been here sooner,
but we had company for dinner, and
Chloe had so many dishes to wash
that stayed to help her,
'Well, Kate Eaton, you shock me!
The very idea of your helping your
servant" said Jenny, very much sur
prised.
Now, look here, Jenny, didn't we
girls form a club, and each promise
that we would do all we could to
help others.
"Well, that hasn't anything to do
with helping servants wash Dishes"
said Jenny.
Eyes it has, too. l couldn't go
out trying to help other people, ali
the time knowing that mother or
some of the servants would be glad
for my help. Do you think you
could!"
After pleasant afternoon, at tea
time Kate went home. AS soon as
she was gone, Jenny came down
stairs, and went to find her mother.
"Mother,' she said, have you the
braid sewed on Nettie's dress YETI"
"No," replied her mother, Il
have not been able to get it done"
"Then l will help you, mother,
and then work for any others l can
help"
And after that Jenny always help
ed outsiders all she could.

The Faithful One.

Frank L. stan,on in Uncle Rcnus Magazino)
In the storm and the strife, when
lightnings Of life ~.
Had blasted my deepest endeav-
or,
She crept to my side when the last
hope had died,
And whispered: 81 love you for
ever!"
And the bitter unrest of a grief
stricken breast
Saw a star through the black
shadows living,
Knew joy from above in the
strength of that love
That is wounded, and yet is for
giving.
And sorrow now seems but a phan-
tom of dreams,
And Peace shall depart from me
never;
Der Life's Valley of Sighs, see .
the light in the skies =
For she whispers: 81 love you for
ever!''

that the cleansing process will be com

given its first delivery to the city. The
purpose of the work now going on is
TO clean the sponges Of gravel coke
