A smile or sigh may awaken Suspicion most false and untrue ; And thus our belief may be shaken In hearts that are honest and true. llow often the smile of gladness Is worn by the friends that we meet, To cover a soul full ol sadness Too proud to acknowledge defeat. llow often the sigh of dejection Is heaved from the hypocrite’s breast, To parody truth and affection Or lull a suspicion to rest. llow often the friends who held dearest Their noble emotions conceal ; And bosoms the purest, sinccrest Have secrets they never can tell.

STRSSXRTIIHX BIOVIII TIKS ‘Well, what do you think of our little girl, Eben V Sirs, Rutherford asked this question just as they were through dinner, and Jennie had been excused from the table. They had brought her to *tcii pleasant country home a month before os probation, and with a view to keep* ing her as their own. Eben laid dewn his knife and fork, pushed back his plate, aQd looking through the open door, to catch a glimpse of pink ginghams flitting around the corner, answered slowly : •'I like her right well ; think if you are suited we had best keep her. She is bright aDtl willing and truthful." “And a quiet little thing,” put in his wife. “Yes; don’t you know but I’d as lief she wouldn’t be so quiet, though. I’ll toll you, Sarah. I’m sort of a longing lor a child's laugh rippling out at any-, thing or nothing. I’d like to see her dancing about and chattering like a magpie, and all that sort o' thing I’ve tried to please her. I’ve told her stories, and taken her round on the farm with me, and let her ride on Charley’s back to the brook; and she liked it.all in a quiet sort of way. But she don't seem dowaright happy and merry as it’s a child’s right to be,” “Oh, well, I guess she’s contentod enough, plenty to eat and wear, and kindly treated. I’d rather she’d be quiet than like Mrs Door’s little Nelly, over the way, climbing trees and rid ing fences and singing and shouting from morning till night.” Meanwhile Jennie was sitting on a< rock by the brook, laying her bare white feet, and spying to herself: “Now, if I thought she’d care about them, I’d get her some of those great blue flowers —they’re beauties,” look ing at the cluster of iris. “I'd as lief wade in as not. I suppose she'd say, ‘Yes, yes, my child ; very pretty; don’t clutter up the floor with them,' and keep on tying up her curtains and 'ranging her closets. Mamma always liked them so much. O, mamma, and the little figure lay prone upon the grass, trembling and sobbing. ‘Mamma! oh, mamma! I want you. She is kind to me, but there’s nobody like mamma." “Poor child ! poor child !’’ It was Eben’s voice, but tender and gentle. llis*strong arms lifted her quivering form and laid her head on his shoulder. “There, there, dear, don’t cry. Want to go to the mill with me ? You shall have the reins yourself, and drive, if you like.” A few words from Ehen that night get Sarah thinking; and the new thoughts that came to her were strengthened nest day in a neighbor’s (ESTABLISHED IX THE YEAR 1845). kitchen. She had “run in” off an errand and found “Aunt Martha,” as she was called in the neighborhood parlance, making pies, Sho stood by her moulding board, with sleeves,rolled up and white gingham apron oh, the picture of a healthy, hearty, blithe old lady. Half a dozen pies with rich golden centre, st*od by her sido. Half a dozen apple piss were already browm* ing in the oven. She had a little crust left She rolled it out, spread it iu a couple of saucers, filled the centres round and plump with the juicy spiced apples, and daintily trimmed the edges. ‘Do you make saucer pies, aunty V asked Mrs. Rutherford in some sur prise. ‘•Yes, every baking; why not*. s"’ 5 "’ said aunty, “Well, when the children are not home to eat them, it soetus hardly worth while. It is easier to put all in one large pie, and tastes just the same, you know.” “Oh,yes; but some child is so apt to happen along on an errand or some thing. I’ve made them about every forthnight for fifteen years and always found a use for them. It more than pays for the work to see the little ones so pleased. \ r ou know, dear tb* old lady added gently, “the time that trifle* give great pleasure is so short, it passes away before we are aware. Sometimes I think it is only childhood that is con tent with dealy bread." “I’ll make a saucer pie for Jennie next time I bake,” said Mrs. Ruther ford to horself as she went home. “Strange I never thought of it before. I’ll, let me see, I'll dress her dolly new for her. It’s quite shabby. And I’ll koep her with me more and tell her stories at bed time. Maybe its just the little things mothers do that she wants to ©Uoor k*r vip The next morning Mrs. Rutherford' concluded it was time to have some pies, and she went to work with a will When the baking was done, a dainty saucer pie with sugar top and plum, sweet berries stood on the dresser. “Here’s something for you, dear,” she said, as Jennie came in with a quiet footfall; and she placed the little pie in the child’s hands, Jennie’s face flushed, her eyes lighted up, and to Sarah’s surprise, grew dim with tears, and the sensitive mouth quivered; but only for a moment. “Thank you ! thank you !” sho said eagerly, ‘it’s just like the pies mother used to make for me.’ “Ah ! that’s it,” thought Sarah, ‘Ebon is right, to be sure. Sho wants ‘mothering.’ ’ And she drew the little girl to her side and kissed her. The u inn pled arms were around her neck in an instant and the kiss returned, and through the day Jennie seemed to feel hap pier and more at borne. Bed time came, and Jonnie, nestling in the white pillow, looked up with wondering eyes, as Mrs. Rutherford sat down on the side of the bed, and taking ths little hand in hers, said kindly: “Shall 1 tell you a story, dear ?’ She listened with eager interest to tho story of the Highland Shep herd’s child lost in tho mountain mist and guarded and fed by his faithful dog. And when Mrs. Rutherford bent down and kissed her the white arms wound impul sively around her neck, and Jennie said for the first time, ‘Good night, mamma ?’ Sarah was startled, tha new name seemed so sweet. ‘I now see,’ she thought. Eben is right. It is mother love and care the child needs and shall have.’ Mrs. Rutherford kept tho reso lution. She did not, could not, feel the intense devotion of a mother but was no longer consent with feeding and clothing her charge. She tried to satisfy hungry and thirsting for affection which she learned to meet and recognize.— Sho sought Jennie's happiness,Jand in due tim# she had her reward.— Loro in her own heart, grateful love in the child’s strengthened day by day Jeunie grow gradual ly happier till her laugh and song rang out as merrily as Eben wish ed, And, when a year had passed, neither of the worthy couple would any more have thought of parting with her than if she had been theirs by birth. They knew no difference in the home tie. “It all dates back,” said Sarah to her husband, as they sat talk* ing one night after Jennie had gone to bed, “all this happiness dates back to the first saucer pi#. Jsnme seemed from that timo to believe that I loved her.”—[Ex.

Now, “Hoe Handle” itk#s to be useful, and I havo taken some pains to make out a table, and I would like to have every one of the farm boys learn it.
