The people of the county are an

The Boy’s Friend.
The boy’s best lover and sweetest
sweetheart is his mother.
But the boy’s best and most patient
frieud is graudnfa. Wlmt a picturo
of forbearance, love, gentleiyss nnd
eagerness to help the boy out of all
his troubles and scrapes! There she
sits the swcet-faced old soul, as perfect
a type of the saiut as heaven can lend
to earth, her speech .softened like the
low south wind and her heart running
over with gentleness and untiriug pa
tience. What a tenderness there is
in grandma’s touch, as she smoothes
back the hair from the hot forehead
and bathes the burning tcmplesof the
fever tossed boy!
What a dear treasure she is and
how tenderly the boy, Mary's boy,
puts’his arms about her as he luys his
head in her lap and listens to her sto
ries of the time when she was a girl
ami how grandpa came a courtingand
how awkward she was and so say!
And then tho boy drops off to sleep
and grandma bends over and imprints
a-kies upon his half closed lips nnd
whispers the prayer: “God bless
the hoy and keep him from all harm.’’
To grandma the hoy goc3 with all
his wants. She is never too busy to
refuse to help him out as mother
often is. Mas he lost his top or mis
placed his school hooks? Grandma
will find them. He tells her all his
little confidences, sure of such sympa
thy as no one else can give. To her
he unfolds all his plans, knowing thnt
she will give encouragement because
they are his. To grandma goes the
trembling little transgressor with his
confession oi wrong doiug for she can
explain to mother so much better than
he could, how lie meant to obey, but
‘before lie thought’ he did the forbid
den thing. God bless the clear old
grandma!
