He had broken his china-dogs puffed the fringe

the golden rings, and played with his transpltr

then looked with a sudden quiet and vague ex
pression into the fire, magnetically drawn by the
bright coals shining through the high fender,
into an admiration of its beauties. Then, a.s the
loneliness of his situation again mcallett itself to
his mind, he cried again softly, and with large
tears running down Ls plump rosy cheeks.
Jolley was cold, hungry and frightened—he

and the first form

winningly his pouting lips--"mamma," "mam

hand had been clasped in prayer, and that when
her soul went on that long journey, it carried
with it a prayer for him to the throne of grace:
that the thought of him was the only cloud upon
her heart as she hastened to join the beloved one
who hadgone before.
No. Jose; knew not this. He cried still
piteously, until strangers came with kind words
and sad faces, and carries' him down stairs. As
he- pussed err doer, he instinctively murmured
the new word, "mamma," mamma, ' until they
hushed him. Then bewildered, frightened and
wcary, he cried, and hiding his head among the
pillows of the familiar cradle, sobbed himself to
sleep. ~
Smiles dimpled his flushed face iu that sleep.

fixing this, and it don't seem 's though I could
think of eing disappointed. And I've about
made up my mind, that unless you fix it to, I shall
be obliged to give up my seat to the old gezele--
man, so 'h t& bring him as nigh as possible tole

you. I, (Nano but,you'd like that 'rangement;

A look of determination began now to- gleam
from the corrugated face of the 'countryman, and
the young Lidy, with mingled alarm and indig
nation, hastened to reply:

immediately oonarneneed crowding in a,,pinee by
