A BEAUTIFUL LESSON.
Five hundred years ago there was
living in Italy a great poet of the
name of Petrarch. There came on
a great trial in court; a number of
pvople h.ui to. , . and i
give vvuuc. s,
they all had to take oath before do
ing ni, bo. Petrarch came to bear wit
but they said of him, “You
need not make him take oath; he
will be sure to tell the truth.” So
they did not make him take oath,
because everybody knew how true

John. John makes ilia tiros, but
John did not come to lime. Ho

arose anti looked out upon the free

snowed under and was nut coming,
l’hc wood ami the lightvvood was in

two feet deep midway, and so 1 had
to wade out for the fuel 1 think
there was less fun in it than most
anything 1 ever undertook; but in
course of time 1 got a good fire
made, and was happy. There was
no iightwood split, ami no ax; John
had carried tho ax home with him,
the improvident scamp. Strange to

gan to use it. 1 worked hard aud

out of the pathway 1 to the wood*

was an oipjriiw with seven brothers
and sisters vlh« had found places
among ivftfthes and friends; living
with Wcviuoifh Brewster, her cousin

to housekeei ig oyer in Massacliu*

go an 1 sc her for quite a while. So
when it came a slack spell on the
farm, late in m plumber, Weymouth
told Susie she could lake Bluelicr—ft
great roan’ horse - and go over to her
sixer’s one day and come back the

‘Snsdo was wild with delight, as she

plumes nodding in lh>v wind. You
see that lint was butight, on purpose
for her in new York when Weymouth
went after goods. There was not an*
other in town to compare with it.

she went oil down the road while we

Then she remembered all at once thafl-
