tell you about one called “Cheeky” because
he does so many saucy things; for instance,
he will try to tat e food from a person’s mouth
while they are eating, and perform other
acts equally as naughty for a monkey to do,
since Marmosets, like boysand girls, should
learn good manners;
Cheeky is of a deep gray color, and has
along, bushy tail. In his paws he holds
nuts, which he eats in a pretty manner,
and he resembles a squirrel very much,
both in form and activity. He has five
toes on each foot, and just as many pretty
teeth as you have. He has soft hair upon
his round head, and his ears are almost
concealed by long white hairs that stand
out thickly around them like a silken
fringe.
Cheeky has beautiful eyes, as brown as
autumn nuts, and a white spot is just be
tween them, on his brow, which makes a
pleasing contrast with the dark light in
his eyes. Cheeky sleeps in a basket; he
likes to go to bed early—like chickens do,
and as children should—especially if the
weather is cool and rainy. If there is too
much talking to suit his pleasure, he will
sometimes raise his pretty head out from
the numerous folds of cover (Cheeky likes
Jots of cover) and look about in an indig
nant way, as much as to say, “Do be quiet,
I want to go to sleep.’’ Sometimes he
wraps his long, graceful tail about him
like a beautiful muff. He burrows deep
down among the bedclothes, and he
enjoys the warmth and comfort they give;
then, only his face with the bright brown
eyes can be seen. Cheeky came from a
hot country near the equator and dislikes
cold weather so much that he is fond of be
ing well covered when it is cool and rainy.
HEenj >ys playing “hide and seek’ 5 like any
child, and looks very attractive when peep
ingout from behind one of the columns of
the porch, looking first from one side, then
from the other.
Cheeky came from a land where there
are so many beautiful, grand trees, and he
is fond of the woods became he can hunt
for tiny birds,insects, fruits and other nice
things to eat, all of which he dearly loved
in his native lands. But he is in captivity
now, so he likes vegetables and meats just
as do you boys and girls. He is on a visit
to Georgia, and here he enjoys ground-peas
and relishes ponecorn bread like Georgians
make; it is charming to see him with a
chunk of corn bread in each paw—l like
to h«ve said each “hand,” for he uses his
wonderful little paws as well as children
do their hands. He takes a bite from the
bread in his risht paw, then a mouthful
from that in his left paw, first from one,
then the other, until he has eaten all the soft
crumb, then he will throw away the hard
part. He is like some people we know,
who under no conditions will eat the crust
of any kind of bread, but only enjoy the
soft crumb.
Although Cheeky is in captivity, he
doesn’t mind it in the least, for the
chains that bind him are all silken,
and each link is wrought with love,
I feel sure you would like to hear
the name of the little girl who owns
Cheeky, and how she came to possess him.
Her name is Deldee; a pretty word, isn’t
it? Once when she was on board a ship
she saw a boy who was treating the poor
little monkey badly; tormenting him by
pulling his tail, and otherwise disturbing
him in a most cruel manner. Deldee asked
her kind father to buy Cheeky, her young
heart being moved with compassion for
the unhappy little Marmoset. lam glad
he now seems as happy as it is possible for
an animal to be, and he really gets more
caresses than many a child I have seen.
It is a pretty sight to see Cheeky turn
his head to one side in the most bewitch
ing manner when one begins to rub him
on his bright face. He seems never to
grow weary of attention, is as deeply af
fectionate as our pet dogs and cats, and
has such a pretty way of showing his
appreciation. I spent a most delightful
day observing his wonderful form, and en
joying his attractive manners. And
Dsldee gave me no little pleasure by
singing a Portuguese song. Her mother’s
sweet, clear voice mingling with the deep
er notes of her own, made the most musi
cal sounds my ears had heard in many a
day, and I am sure the Marmoset also en
joyed the song.
I was very sorry to part with Deldee and
Cheeky, but hope to see them again, when
the flowers are blooming in our own sweet
southland. I trust they will remember me
as they gaze upon the mighty forests and
inhale the fragrant balsams that abound in
the province of which Fortaleza is the cap
ital.
Deldee and Cheeky made a pretty pic
ture as I parted from them at the station.
She, in her becoming blue dress and broad
brimmed hat, and in her arms clasping a
doll almost as large as a real wide-awake
baby, and Cheeky, his teeth gleaming like
pearls, nestling against her warm, loving
hand! Cheeky is always showing his teeth,
whether from vanity, or because he is so
cheerful and happy hearted I know not,
but one thing I do know—the teeth are
white and pretty.
I sincerely trust the children who read
about Cheeky will imitate dear little Del
dee’s kindness to animals, for kind hearts
are better than fine clothes, and loving
kindness is more to be prized than silver
and gold. Julia Collins.

SLEEPY SONG.
PLAYING, singing,
Happy, glad and gay,
Girls and boys and birdies, too,
Must rest at close of day.
Tired, tired,
Birdies in the nest
Cuddle down ’neath mother’s wings
To sleep and dream and rest.
Sleepy, sleepy,
Children ev’ry one
Go to sleep like little birdies
When the day is done.

THE HACK THAT WAS NOT WON.
T IS the great day of the year for Lees
, ville. The shores of the river are
1
crowded with expectant watchers, as the
“Star,” the ‘‘Crown” and the “Petrel”
manned by picked crews, start out on the
race. Every one not too old, or too sick,
is present, and Tommy Parks, the bad boy
of the village, climbs out on the overhang
ing limb of a tree to be sure of a good view.
The excitement grows intense, as the
“Petrel’’ sweeps ahead, and the “Star” and
the “Crown” are side by side.
« « •
. Suddenly the voices change to a long
wail of horror, growing in intensity.
Tommy Parks, in the exuberance of
joy, has crept too far out on the tree, has
fallen over into the dreaded whirlpool, and,
caught by the powerful undertow, is swept
towards the rapids.
For a time the boats are forgotten, as
women wring their hands and men gaze at
each other in the helplessness of despair.
But almost simultaneously the Star
and the Crown see the danger, and then
begins the race for the child’s life
The Petrel, far ahead, does not note
the renewed outcries, but the breathless
stillness that follows seems almost palpa
ble.
Glancing over their shoulders the mem
bers of her crew take in the situation.
With one quick reversion of practiced oars,
a few swift strokes, and Tommy is saved,
just as the other boats come up.

The goal was never reached: but, after
all, it was a great day in Leesville.

Read and Reflect.
A
Peace does not dwell in outward things,
but within the soul. Can we be unsafe
where God has placed us? It is fidelity to
the present which prepares us for fidelity in
the future. Bear with yourself in correct
ing faults as you would your neighbor.
As soon as we are with God in faith and
in love, we are in prayer. There is no
true and constant gentleness without hu
mility. We cannot always be doing a
great work, but we can always be doing
something that belongs to our condition.
.FeneZon.
Every vice and folly has a train of secret
and necessary punishment. If we are
lazy, we must expect to be poor; if intem
perate, to be diseased; if luxurious, to die
prematurely. Varle.
Let the soul be turned as strenuously to
wards good as it usually is towards evil,
and you will find that the simple love of
goodness will give incredible resources to
the spirit in the search after truth. Love,
with little intellect, will perform miracles.
Fenelon.
Whatsoever our walk in life, we have
opportunities to do good. Blessed is the
man who seizes these opportunities, doing
that which he can for the service of his fel
low-men, and looking unto God for ap
proval. Thomas Hill.
To love the unlovely, to sympathize with
the contrary minded, to give to the un
charitable, to forgive such as never pity,
to be just to men who make iniquity a law,
to pay their ceaseless hate with never-ceas
ing love, is one of the noblest attainments
of man, and in this he becomes most like
God. T. Parker.
Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your
own gift can present every moment with
the cumulative force of a whole life’s cul
tivation; but of the adopted talent of an
other you have only an extemporaneous,
halt possession. That which each can do
best, none but his Maker can teach him.
No man yet knows what it is, nor can, till
that person has exhibited it. Where is the
master who could have taught Shakespeare?
Where is the master who could have in
structed Franklin, Washington, or Bacon,
or Newton? Every great man is unique.
Emerson.
A woman who makes the man whom
she loves believe she knows not the mean
ing of worry, and who always has for him
a pleasant smile and a word of welcome,
will find that tender thoughts of her are
creeping down further into his heart than
those of beauty whom she envies. A pleas
ant woman in the home is like a gleam of
heaven’s brightest sunshine. Her very
presence soothes, comforts and cheers the
heart of man.
LITTLE history every day makes a
well informed man in a few years.
