easel if thee doesnt wan i to be a farmer well apprentice thee to t iv uncle charles the baiter thats light and easy and thee is delicate so the barberry takingcoansel together decided that grandn other had had a call to speak and pliced dudley with the halter he worked patiently enough hut pointed mare than ever in tiie evenings for uncle charles was libcnu and he had a little money of his ow in those days on christmas he came pome and was received kindly and found his little cousin clara in the house an orphan in a black frock whose parent had teen lost at sea the child liked the boy very much arid he painted her old dolli face into new beauty for her and pat and flower on the back of the dolls chair she admired his ork very much as he had admired that of the artist who had given him his first cslors he was a hero to her and a genias as well as the kindest boy living wandejing aroand the hoasc one day he found a jreat pottery pie dish one of a dozen bougit of a peddler for the christmas pies and forgetting its purpose spent a whole bright morningpaintingupoa it a splashing bat spirited likeness of his mothers favorite lady washington geran ium which stood ink pot on a stand it was a wonderful success in the eyes of lit tie clara nd indeed it was not bad for a little practice goes a good way with a bpen artist and a winter p study without a master had greatly improved the young fellows work 1 adoration was ia- claras eyes as she looked at the dish and at dudley youre a great great artisi dudley said she i think you will be famoas 6ome day ive rea the lives of famous painters the big jrown book in the case in the parlor ant kings and queens thought lots of them and made them paint their portraits yof remember what i say when yon are grown up dudley dudley was sixteen ead from his work and she was thirteen he lifted up his 1 looked at her if ever i am clira he said shant have to remember you i hope youtl be there wbeq anybody before who think me so queer i am i never knew understood me they to like to paint yoa know all about it si ay yes said clara i understand and i hope well always k just like brother and sister only you know i might die like pa and ma dont cry 6aid dudley and dont clara he said clara i cannot beaij leaning over the innocent arms aboui i hope good little pet cousin i a voice sharp and talk about dying m whatever comes but he said no mdrc shrill with anger broke in upon the pleasant talk aant martha land of liberty dudley has spoiled die biggest pie dish v that afternoon former barberry whipped dudley that evening the boy did not come to supper later on whenhe moon had risen little clara who had gone to her own room to cry window 6he openpd it and looked out dadley stood there voice jerusha come here 1 tell me do you think it was right that i should be whipped at my age bight sobbed clara oh il wicked 1 wicked wicked ko one shall elver do it again said pm going to be a great know and and dont if he is not dead lie must have forgot ten me she said to herself he is twentysit years old now if her lives and though she highly respected the rev joel bird she sighed once or twice even on her wedding eve settledin boston she was very happy she liked the style of lie people she met heir cult arc their bookisliness 6hc saw the shining lights of the literary world and she wrote a piece of poetry which was pub lished one day somebody atw the pie dish the spoiled pia dish of the barberry family it was an artistic lady who had gone to take her hat of in the spare room of the parson age what i a lovely plaque she cried but why dont yoa have it gked it will be spoiled the pie dish presented to phujuchood was glazed ncrtweefc it had a brass hook fastened to it and was hung ou tiie parlor wall and on its back was painted the name of the boy- who from the barberry point of view had spoiled it the iky jck1 bird died young he was good to hfswife while he hvcdand she moarned him hut there had been no romance in their courtship and they had never been congenial the widow recovered her placidity soon and lived contentedly on her small income amidst a circle of attached friends the last survivor of the barberry family dud leys mother came to lire with her and mrs bird had palled two gray iiatrs out of her curly black hair when the great fair of st riusanrt church took place and a com mittee called to beg her to contribute something tiie pie dish no longer hong ou the wall a glimpse of it had thrown mrs barberry into gentle hysterics it was therefore locked away and a thought f came into mrs birds head i have a phwme she said it was painted long ago by somebody who must have become a very great artist if he lived i think ill give the plaque as well as my little bit of money i do not want to doit i would like to keep it but it is a shame to hide it away the more 1 see of art the better i know that it is good and there arc associations with it that make it painful to aunt to sec il the committee erpressed their shanks and the spoiled pie dish went to the fair where it was greatly admired kow dudley barberry had not starved to death on the road as his grandmother always believed he had sold his watch had lived until he found his old friend the artist had become his pupil and had gone toeurope with him 4 while unknown to the people of his little town he had made a namc in the great world of art he had made a moderate fortune also and one day he went back to his home expecting to find ail the batberrys there a little older of course and to be come the pride of the family instead he found he house occupied by strangers and was told that his parents dead his inform nt was a stranger who did not know who he was who thought she spoke the truth and he did not stop to ask questions of those who could have told him the truth r the woman had also told him that clara was married aud he left the town that night feeling at ooee ruilty and illused he made his way to boston scon after aud wig taken rather against his will to the ladies fair at st susaus church where pretty girls besought him to buy pin- cosh iocs at pncea that would have horrified even a california and where he bad ja a- very unlucky hours fishing at a dollar a dip in a big pond into- which all the rub- bishhad beeo thrown and where amongst his prizes were a topsy doll with one arm and an original poem by an unknown lady atrlast roaming about amongst the staos in the bewildered manner peculiar to single gentlemen at fairs he saw a pretty figure and a pretty face framed in a widows cap standing at a table and over ber head suspended agaiutt a dark drapery an object which startled him could it be yes it was ho kuerw every stroke by heart he stopped and gazed at it j the lady turned toward htnv shall i have the plaque taken ddwul she said j would you like to look at it closer i i thank you he answered looking at her oddly ji can see it very well andil should like bo to buyit though it interests me rather as an old acquaintance than as a work of art i once- spoiled a pie dish in something like that style it must be im agination i suppose but i could swear that that was the dish itself then he paused for the widow olafped her hands looked at biro with her eyes fall of tears and answered oh dudley it is the dish i how could you use your poor old mother and all of us ao badly land what a great beard you have grown the plarjue went home under the arm of its purchaser on the other rested mrs birds littla hand of coarse you guess the rest the famous artist is no longer a baohelor clara

and mamma wa not well enough to get out she hai never been to church said mamma i fear she will not lit still she is only three years old v let me try ber said grandma mamma put on a clean white dress tied the straw hat over her brown curb and gricie was all ready well ait on the piazza fill the bell rings laid grandma so as to make the time m short for her as she could v the church was nearly opposite the house and they could go there in a few minutes while they sat there grandma said we are going to gods house will godbethero asked gracie yes dear be is everywhere bat he loves to meet those in his own house who go to worship him whats at grandma v to worship means to pray to him to sing his praise to think about him to listen to his words gracie cant do this as grandma can but she can sit very still before god that will be her worship when the bell began to ring they started many people joined them as they went into the church gracie felt that god must be ther indeed it was so still she sat very quiet for a few moments then she whispered to grandma j when will they do at now said grandma you nt till aud ill think and soon be rain it ter will pray gracie noticed all that went on when the miniiter prayed the saw that all the people bowed their heads and grandma bowed hers she laid ber curly head in grandmas lap and when they began to sing she looked up and smiled bat by- and- by sbe grew sleepy grandma saw the eyelids droop and spreading ber handker chief over ber jiik gown she let the little sleepy head mipn her knee gracie didnt wake till the sermon waa- done and the people rose to sing again aud soon they were dismissed did i do at grandmav ahe said as they walked home do whati darling at what you said fore we went i cant member worship god t yes dear i think yoa did as well aa yoa knew how yoa sat very still and i think god was pleased with his little one do yoa like to go to church would you ike to go again 1 yes grandma i am not afaid of god uow i waa most afaid when you said god was going there too i didnt see him t only felt him a little bit it waa so still bat ive tied to orsiip him the faiiji- ful witneu 1- the true gentleman a childs needofsympathy the child demands sympathy compan- ionahip love here also the instinct of the higher qaadrepeds shows in a touching way the same demand the dogs desire even more pressing than the desire forfcod and often displacing it ia to be with hit master i his master it wi thindoors the dog wishes to lie at his feet if he goes to another room the dog must go also and establish himself there if ho goes forth to walk or ride the four footed friend boouda along in bliss overjoyed to traverse miles of coantry which he would never visit alone an occasional friendly word contents him bat without companionship he can do oothing strange that we recogniz the instinct in the animal and often ignore it in the child every child needs compao ionship to have soma one to whom every little joy may be imparted some of the most conecientious and devoted parents who have ever lived have been those who never kissed their children and the same habit of repression still shows itself in some households in regard to all communi cations with the young l woman of genius not now living once told me that ahe did not know bow to tell time by the clock until she was eighteen because her father had undertaken to explain it to her when she was twelve and she was afraid to let him know that she had failed o com prehend him yet she said he had never in his life spoken to her one harshvword it simply tho attitude of cold repression jthat froze her after hia death she wrote to me his heart was pure and terrible i think that there was not another like it on earth on this point i fear that she was mistaken and that the race of such parents survives harpers bazar good manners yesterday i met one of my little friends on the street i never forget to apeak to my boys and girl so i said good morn iog howdoyou think he replied he looked up into my face and said hello a little further on i met another littlo friend i thought i would wait this time and sue what he would say just as he was near me aud i waa expecting he would apeak he pat his fingers between his teeth and whistled to a boy across the street to sharp and shrill that it almost deafened me that waa all he said near the post- office i met a little boy that we all knew he lifted his hat and said good-mom- ing mr johnson now which do you- thifik was the best way the hello the rude whistle or the lifted hat and cheery goodmorning which boy had the beat manners even girls do not always have good man ners the other day i saw two young ladies passing on opposite sides of the street they were sixteen or seventeen years old one called out hello mary the other replied hello sally kow i want to whisper to you that i do not expect that young ladies who are so rude aa those two will ever improve much in their manners bat i do expect that all of you will cultivate good manners toward every one you all know what good man ners are be respectful to your parent and all who are older than yoa be kind to yoar companions have too much respect for yourself to do any meaa act or aay a bad ward treat your teacher in the public school and baoday school with the honor is dae ber s s jiuwnger a saloon as a bank yon deposit yoar

happiness and loeo it yoar childrens happiness and lose it your own soal andloeg it x the habits that markthetrue gentleman jare not wf iliffilcah to acquire as to account for the comparatively small number who own them their neglect arises usually from carelessness or from a selfishness j which places personal ease ahead of the j comfort or gratification of others for i unaelflibneas lies at the root ot the best breeding gelfishrtess it is which hinders a mans taking the troable to remember o stand aside and let a lady f recede him inj entering ot leaving a room which keeps j him in his seat while ahe is standing i whether in a public conveyance or in a pri vate parlot he does not recognize the spring of his actions by this name his excuse is always ready 1 never thought of it why thoald ahe not stand as well as i orl perhaps the hardest to deal with what is the use of bothering about such things to begin with let it be roandly stated that no part of tbe toilet should ever be performed in pablic all such operatns ascleaningor cutting the nails picking the teeth removing the shreds of dried akin from the face or hands pulling out stray hairs from the beard or scalp should be performed in the prrfficy of ones own apartment not on thff street in the car or boat or in the drawingroom some men consider they are qaite justified in scraping and paring their nails in the presence of their families assembled at the breakfast table if they preface the action with a perfunctory excnso me or by your leave others do not take the trouble to apologize even thus slightly aud without pessimism it may bevafiirmed that only exceptionally does one find a man who will not pick his teeth after a meal if not before eucstsor id a pubrc restaurant al least in the presence of his
