THE urrirnusszu PRAYER.
"Now I lay me"—say it darling;
"Lay me," lisped the tiny lips
Of my daughter, kneeling, bending
O'er her folded finger-tips.
"Down to sleep"--"To sleep," she mur
inured, •
And the curly bead drooped low ;
"I pray the Lord"—l gently added,
"Yon can say it all, I know."
"Pray the Lord"—the words came fidntly
Fainter still—"My soul to keep,"
Then the tired head fairly nodded,
And the child was hat asleep.
But the dewy eyes half opened,
When I clasped her to my breast,
And the dear voice softly whispered,
"Mamma, God knows all the rest."
0, the trusting, sweet confiding
Of the child heart ! Would that I
Thus might trust my Heavenly Father,
He who hears my feeblest cry.
AtTORY FOR TUE LITTLE FOLKS
TESSA'S SURPRISE&
Little Tessa saf alone by the fire, waiting
for her father to come home from work.—
The children Were last asleep, all four in the
big bed behind the curtain ; the wind blew
hard outside, and th‘ snow beat on the
window panes ; the rbom was large, and
the fire so small and feeble, that It didn't
half wanu the little bare toes peeping out
of the old shoes on the hearth.
Tessa's father was an Italian Ouster work
er, very poor, but kind and bon*. The
mother had died not long ago, and left
twelve-year old Tessa to take care otThe
little children. She tried to be very wise ,
and motherly, and wotked-for them like any
little woman ; but it was so hard to keep
the small bodies warm and fed, and the
small souls good and happy, that poor Tessa
was often at her wit's end. She always
waited for her father, no matter how tired
she was, so that he might find his supper
warm, a bit of fire, and a loving little Ace
to welcome him. Tessa thought over her
plans
ir her

a
e her
good deal, and She had no friends but Tom-
MO, the harp-boy, up stairs, and a lively
cricket,who lived In the chimney. To-night,
her face was very sober, and her pretty
brown eyes very thoughtful as she stared
at the fire, and knit her brows, as if per
plexed. She was not thinking of her old
Shoes, no; the empty closet, nor the boys'
ragged clothes, just Weil. No ; she bad a
fine plan in her good little head, and was
trying to discover bow the could carry it
out.
You see, Christmas was coming is a
week ; and she had set her heart on putting
something in the children's stockings, as
the mother used to do, for while she lived
things were comfortable. Now, Tessa had
not a penny in the world, tatd didn't know
how to get one, for all the father's earnings
had to go for food, fire and rent. '
"Inhere were only fairies, ah, how
heavenly that would be ; for then, I should
tell thelit all I wish, and, pop ! behold the
fine things in my lap I" said Tessa to her
self "I must earn the money ; there is no
one to give It to me, and I cannot beg.—
But, what can I do, so small and stupid and
shy as I am ? I must find some way to give
the little ones a nice Christmas. I must !
I must 1" and Tessa pulled her, long hair,
as if that would help her to think.
But it didn't, and her heart got heavier ;
for it did seem hard, that In a great city full
of fine things, there should be none for
poor Nono, Sep and little Speranza. Just
as Tessa's tears began to tumble off her eye
lashes on to her brown cheeks, the cricket
began to chirp. Of course, he didn't say a
word ; but it really did seem as if he had
answered her question almost as well as a
fairy: for, before he had piped a dozen
shrill notes, an idea popped into Tessa's head
—such a truly splendid idea, that she clap
ped her hands, and 'burst out laughing.—
"I'll do It ! I'll do it ! if father will let me,"
she said to herself, smiling and nodding at
the fire. "Tommo will like to have me go
with him and sing, while he plays his harp
in the streets. - I know many songs, and
may get money if lam not frightened ; for
people throw pennies to (*her little girls
who only play the tanthourine. Yes, I will
try ; and then, if I do well, the little ones
shall have a Merry Christuitut."
Next morning the sun shone, but the
cold wind blew, and the snow lay thick in
the streets. As soon as her father was gone,
Tessa flew about, and put everything in
nice order, telling the children she was go
ing out for the day, and they wore to mind
Tommo's mother, who would see about the
fire and the dinner ; for the good woman
loved Tessa, and entered Into her little plans
-with all her heart. Nono and Guiseppe, or
Sep, as they called him, wondered what she
was.going away for, and little Rama cried
at being left ; but Tessa told them they
would know nJI about it in a week, and have
a fine time, if they were good ; so they
kissed her all round, and let her go.
Poor Tessa 's heart beat fast, as she trudg
ed-awny with Tommo, who slung his harp
ovei his shoulder, and gave her his hartd.-- 4.
as talker a dirty hand, but so kind that
Tessa Flung to it, and kept looking sit at
the friendly brown fape for encouragement.
"We go ftrat to the cafe, where many
French and Italian's eati breakfatit. They
like my music, and often give 'me sips of
hot coffee, which I like much. You too
shall have the sips, and perhaps the pennies,
for these people are greatly kind," said
Tommo, leading her into a large smoky
place, where many people sat at little ta
bles, eating and drinking. "See, now,
have no fear ; give them 'Bella Monica ;'
that is merry, and will make them laugh,"
whispered Tommo, tuning his harp.
For a moment, Tessa hit so frightened
that she wanted to run away; but she re
membered the empty stockings at home,
and the lonely plami, and she resolved not
to gin It PP, Ora at bid Frenchman nod
ded to her, and it seabed to kelp her very
much; for she began to sing before she
thought, and that was he holiest part of
it. He voice' trembled, and her cheeks
grew redder and redder as she wanton; but
she kept her eyes Axed on her old shoes,
and so got through without breaingdown
Which was very nice. The people laughed,
for the song wairnerry ; and the fat man
smiled, and nodded again. This gave her
&image to try another, and she sung better
and better ma timer. Ibr Tommo played

we shall not &Mays do well. The people
there are busy, or hard, or idle,, and care
nothing for harps and songs. Do not skip
and laugh trio soon ; for the day is long, and
we have but twelve pennies yet."
Alt this . afternoon, the two friends wan
dered about, singing and playing, and gath
ering up their small harvest. At dusk, they
went home,—Tessa so hoarse,, she could
hardly speak, and so tired, she- fell asleep
over her supper. But she had made half a
dollar,for Tommo divided the money fairly,
and she felt rich with her share. The other
days were very much like this; sometimes
they made more, sometimes less, but Tom
mo always "went halves ;'qnd Tessa kept
on, in spite of cold and weariness, for her
plans grew as her earnings increased, and
now she hoped to get useful things, instead
'of candy and toys alone..
On the day before Christmas, she made
herself tidy as she could, for she hoped to
earn a good deaL She tied a bright scarlet
handkerchief over*the old hood, and the
brilliant color set off ler brown cheeks and
bright eyes, as well as the pretty black
braids of her hair. Tomato's mother lent
her a pair of boots so big, that they turned
up at the toes, but there were no holes in
them, and Tessa felt quite elegant in whole
boots. Her hands were covered with chil
blains, for she had no mittens; but she put
them under her shawl, and scuffled merrily
away in her big boots; feeling so glad that
the week was over, and nearly three dollars
safe in her pocket. How gay the streets
were that day ; how brisk every one wilt,
and how bright the faces looked, as people
trotted about with big baskets,' holly
wreaths, and young evergreens going to
blossom into splendid C h ristmas trees.
"If I - could have a tree for the children,
I'd never want anything again. But I can't;
sou I ' ll fill the socks all full, and be happy,"
said'Tessa, as she looked wistfully into the
gay store, and saw the heavy baskets go by.
- "We'll try one more street, and then go
home, thou art so tired, little one. Come ;
let me wipe thy thee, - and give me thy hand
here in my packet-pocket; there it will be
as warm as any kitten ;" and kind Tommo
brushed away the drops which were not all
rain from Tessa's cheeks, tucked the poor
hand into his ragged pocket, and fed her
carefUlly along the slippery streets, for the
boots nearly tripped her up. _
At the first house, a cross old gentleman
Sapped his newspaper at them; at the sec
ond, a young gentleman and lady were so
busy talking, that they never turned their
heads ; and et the third, a servant came out
and told them to go away, because some
one was sick. At the fourth, some people
let them sing all their songs, and gave noth
ing. The next three houses were empty ;
and the last of all showed not a single face,
as they looked up anxiously. It was so
cold, so dark and discuraging, that Tessa
couldn't help one sob ; and, as he glanced
down at the little red nose and wet figure
beside him, Tommo gave his harp an angry
thump, end said something very fierce in
Italian. They were just going to turn
away; but they didn't,for that angry thump
happened to be the best thing they could
have done. All of a sudden, a little head
appeared at the window, as lithe sound had
brought it; 'then another, and another, till
there were five, of all heights and colors,
and five eager faces peeped out, smiling and
nodding to the two below.
"Sing, Tessa; sing! quick ! quick!"
cried Tommo, twanging evilly with all his
might, and showing his white teeth, as he
smiled back at the little gentlefolk.
Bless us! How Tessa did tune up at
that! She chirped away like a real bird,
forgetting all about the tears on her cheeks,
the ache in her hands, and the heaviness at
her heart. The children laughed, and'
clapped their hands, and cried "More!
more! Sing another, little girl! Please
do!!" And away they went again, piping
and playing, till Tessa's breath was gone,
and Tommo's stout fingers tingled well.
"Mamma says, come to the door ; it's too
muddy to throw the money in the street!"
cried out a kindly child's voice, as Tessa
held up the old cap with beseeching eyes.
Up the wide stone steps went the street
musicians; and the whole flock came run
ning down tcrgive a handful of silver, and
ask all sorts of questions. Tessa felt so
grateful, that without waiting for Tommo,
she sang her sweetest little song all alone.
It was about a lost lamb, and her heart was
in the song ; therefore, she sang it well, so
well, that a pretty young lady came down
to listen, and stood watching the bright
eyed child, who looked about her as she
sang, evidintly enjoying the light and
warmth of the fine hall, and the sight of the
lovely children with their gay dresses, shin
ing hair, and dainty little shoes.
"You have a charming voice, child.—
Who taught you to sing ?" asked the young
lady, kindly.
"My mother. She Is dead now,but Ido
not forget," answered Tessa, in her pretty
broken English.
"I wish she could sing at our tree, since
Bella is ill," cried one of the children, peep
ing through the banisters. •
"She Is not fair enough for the angel, and
too, large to go up in the tree. But she
sings sweetly, and looks as if she would
like to see a tree," said the young lady.
!'Q4, so much !" exclaimed Tessa, adding,
eagerly, 'Fitly sister flailp, s small and pret
ty as. a baby-angel. She could sit up in the
flap tree, and I could sing for her from un
der the table."
"Sit down ancl warm yourself, and jell
me about Ranza," said the kind elder sister,
who liked the confiding little girl, in , spite
of her shabby clothes.
So, Tessa sat down, and dried the blg,
boots over the furnace, anttold her story ;
while Tommo stood modestly in the back
grocmd, and the children listened with faces
fail of, interest.
Rose Let rts see the littiggirl ; and
if she will do, let ns have her, and Tessa
can learn , our song, it will be splendid!"
cried the biggest boy, who sat astride of a
chair, and stared at the harp with round
eyes.
"I'll ask mamma," said Rose ; and away
she went into the dining-room close by,
As the door opened, Tease saw what look
id to her like a flay feast,-411 silver mugs,
and flowery'plates,• and oranges, and nuts,
and rosy wine in tall glass pitohers, and
smoking dishes that smelt so deliciously,
she could notcetrala a little sniff of satisfac

"die you hungry ?" asked the boy, in a
grand tone.
meekly answered Tessa.
"I say, mamma ; she wants something to
eat. Can I give ber an orange r called the
boy, prancinoway into the splendid room,

motherly lady, who liked what Tessa grate
fully told about his kindiess to her.
"Ah yes ; I shall come with much glad
ness, and play as never in my life before,"
cried Tommo, with a flourish of the old cap
that made the children laugh.
"Give these to your totuthers," said the
fairy prince, stuffing nuts and oranges into
Tessa's hands.
"And these to the little girl," added one
of the young princesses, flying out of the
dining-room, with cakes and rosy apples
for Ranza.
Tessa didn't know what to say ; but her
eyes were full, and she just took the moth.
er's white hand In both her little grimy
ones, and kissed It many times In her pretty
Italian fashion. The lady understood
. her,
and stroked her cheek softly, saying to her
elder daughter, "We must take care of this
little sparrow, lest it fall to the ground.
Freddy, bring me your mittens, these poor
hands must be covered; Alice, get your
play-hood ; this handkerchief is all wet ;
and, Maud, bring the old chinehil a tippet."
The children ran, and in a minute, there
were lovely blue mittens on the red baftils,
a warm hoed over the black braids, and a
soft "pussy' . round the sere throat.
"Ah ! so kind, so very kind ! I have no
way to say 'thank you ;' but Ranzs shall be
for yon a heavenly angel, and I will sing
my heart out for your tree!" cried Tessa,
folding the mittens as if she would say a
prayer of thankfulness, if she knew how.
Then they went away, and the pretty
children called after them, "Come again,.
Tessa ! Come 'again, Tommo !" Now, the
rain didn't seem dismal, the wind cold, nor
the way long, as they bought their (gifts
and hurried home, for kinds words and the
sweet magic of charity had changed all the
world to them.
I think the good spirits who fly about on
Christmas Eve, to help the loving fillers of
little stockings, smiled very kindly on Tessa,
as she brooded joyfully over the small store
of presents that seemed so magnificent to
her. All the goodies were divided evenly
into three parts, and stowed away in lath
es's three big socks, which hung against
the curtain. With her three dollars, she
had got a pair of shoes for Nono, and a
knit cap for Sep, and a pair of white stock
ings for Ranza; to her, she also gave the
new hood ; to Nono, the mittens ; and to
Sep, the tippet.
"Now, the dears boys can go out, and
my Hann will be ready for the lady to see,
In her nice new things," said Tessa, quite
sighing with pleasure to see how well the
gifts looked pinned up beside the bulging
socks, which wouldn't hold them all. The
little mother kept nothing for herself but
the pleasure of giving everything away ;
yet, I think, she was both richer and hap
pier than if she had kept them -all. Her
father laughed as he had not done since the
mother died, when he saw how comically
the old curtain had broken out into boots
and hoods, stockings and tippets.
PI wish I had a gold gown and a silver
hat for thee, my Tessa, though art so good.
May the saints bless and keep thee always l"
said Peter Benari, tenderly, as he held his
little daughter close, and gave bar the good
night kiss.
Tessa felt very rich as she crept under
the faded counterpane, feeling as if she had
received a lovely gift, and fell happily
asleep, with chubby Hansa In her arms, and
the two rough black heads peeping out at
the foot of the bed. She dreamed wonder
ful dreams that night, and woke in the
morning to find real wonders before her
eyes. She got up early, to see If the socks
were all right, and there she found the
most astonishing sight. Four socks, in
stead of three ; and by the fourth, pinned
out quite elegantly, was a little dress, evi
dently meant for her,—a warm woolen
dress, all made, and actually with bright
buttons on it. It nearly took her breath
away ; so did the new boots on the floor,
and the funny long stocking like a grey
sausage, with a wooden doll staring out at
the top, as if she said, politely, "A Merry
Christmas, ma'am :" Tessa screamed and
danced in her delight, and up tumbled all
the children to scream and dance'with her,
making a regular carnival on a small scale.
Everybody hugged and kissed everybody
else, offered sucks of orange, bites of cake,
and exchanges of candy; every one tried
on the new things, . and pranced about in
them like a flock of peacocks. Ranza
skipped to and fro airily, dressed in her
white socks and The red hood ; the boys
promenaded in their► little shirts, one with
his creaking new shoes and mittens, the
other in his yellow cap and fine tippet;
and Tessa put her dress straight on, • reefing
that her father's."gold gown" was not all a
joke. In her long stocking, she found all
sorts of treasures ; for Tommo had stuffed
it full of queer things, and his mother had
made gingerbread into every Imaginable
shape, from fat pigs to full omnibuses.
Dear me 1 What happy little souls they
were that morning ; and when they were
quiet again, how like a fairy talc did Tessa's
story sound to them. Itanza was quite
ready to be an angel ; and the boys promis •
ed to be marvellously good, if they were
only allowed to see the tree at the "palace,"
as they called the great house.

tions, but this is not answering the lady's
question. If she knows nothing about it she
had better see a shoemaker at work, ai I
have done ; but a very good way is to go to
a "Findings" store, buy a last tuft the Mot;
with an instep piece, a pair of soles already
prepared, heel stiffeners, and loather for
tips, if It is gaitersyou want . Get an awl
and a pair of wax ends—but I prefer a ball
of shoo thread, a bit of wax and riatidler's
needle, with alaall .of galloon - you have
he materials and tools necessary to begin.
'l'hen rip up an old shoe that fits yen, cut a
pattern off it, take a bit of linen or any ma
terial you may happen to have, with strong
drilling for lining ; cut out your gaiter by
the pattern, making half an inch allowance
for seam around the sole,, make the upper,
neatly stitching your heel stiffeners in N.'
tween the lining and the outside and leav
ing both to come below it the' fourth of au
inch, because cloth requires a deeper seam
in joining to the sole. . Stitch on your tips,
bind the top, work' the ilets, put in the
strings, and lace it together. It is ti:,
ready for the sole, which must be
_wet ana
fastened with two or three tacks ou the la -t ,
inside out. Put the upper on the lop of th..
last wrong side out ; slip ia the instep picot ,
and secure it with a tack driven through
the upper-down into the last. Draw the
upper down over the edge of the'tiole, and
secure it in the proper position with a tack
at the centre of the heel and at the toe and
one at each side, driven through the uptir
and sole and into the last. The sole and
edge of the leather tips to be •Joined to it
should be kept slightly wet while sew iug.- -
One great difficulty with new beginniqs is
to hold the shoe while sewing on the sole.
Shoemaker uses a 'stirrup' for this purpose
—a strip of leather about an inch wide made
into a circle long enough to go under the
foot and up over the knee, holding the last
firmly 'doivn to the knee. A stirrup of mus
lin would answer, and if you use wax ends,
with bristles, you can scarce do without it ;
but if you use the long needle, you do not
need it.
Around the sole as prepared is a little
raised rim and in It Voles ready made.—
With your awl you must re-open these,
passing it on through the upper, and 'the
trouble with the bristles is to get them to
pass back and forth through the apperture.
One soon learns it, but at first it is very dis
heartening. With the needle you break oil
a thread—which is single—of convenient
length, then bring the outside end to the
end left on the ball, measure down an equal
length, break off, put the first end to the
end on the ball, measure and break oft' au •
other length. About three threads is as
thick as you can use with a needle, and if
you double it back and forth, the tviist in
the thread will run contrary:wise. It will
not make one even cord and will wear out
in sewing ; lay the threads smoothly to
gether twisting the string lightly, wax it,
sharpen one end to fit the needle, and join
the sole and upper with a 'back stitch' scam,
making the long stitch on the outside.—
When it is done, witli the hammer gently
beat the seam to make it smooth; trim oft
the surplus, if it is too wide; wet the sole
thoroughly, mall out.the tacks,tiraw out the
instep piece and last. Next, turn the shoe,
put the last in and let it stay until It is dry,
or nearly ; take it out, cut a bit of muslin to
fit the sole • and paste it in When dry the
shoe is ready to wear. J. S. O.

facts: • • •
The truth that animal matter passes front
the animal back to the vegetable, and frum
the vegetable to the animal kingdom again;
received a curious illustration not long since.
FOr the purpose of erecttcg a suitable mon
ument in memory of Roger Williams, the
founder of Rhode Island, his private ;bury
ing ground was searched for the graves of
himself and wife. It was found that. every
thing had passed into oblivion. The shape
of the coins could only be traced by
black line of carbonaceous matter. Tin.
rusting hinges and nails, and a round wood
en knot, alone remained in one grave ;
while a single lock of braided hair was
found in the other. Near the grave stood
an apple tree. This bad sent down two
main roots into the very presence or the
* canned dead. The larger. root, pushing
its way to the precise spot occupied by the
skull of Roger Williams, - bad made a turn
as if passing around it, and fUllowed the
direction of the hackbone to the hips.—
Here it dividetl into two branches, s , ntllng
one along each leg to the heels, when both
turned upward to the toes. One: or these
'roots formed a slight crook el die knee,
which made the whole bear a striking re
semblance to the human form. 'There were
the graves, but their occupants' had disap
peared ;the bones eveu,had vanished. There
tood the thief—the guilty apple tree—einglit
in the very act of robbery. • The spoliation
was complete. The organic matter,_ the
flesh, the bones of Roger Williams had
passed into an apple tree_ The elements
had been absorbed by the roots, traro,intitcd
