HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS.
Wi have heard it lain tbit you ctn do every
thing, bowevor, unpleasant it may bo to those
around yon, II you only do It In Ihs right way,
and tho Inatanco glvctf to prove the truth of this
assertion Is taken from bnmble life. A oat walks
daintily into a room on scold winter day, and with
a benign glance at tho company, and a melodious
purring sound sho walks leisurely around, selects
lor heiaelf Ihe warmest place In tho room, perhaps
tho only warm place, right In front of tho grate,
curls hetself up and goes serenely to sleep, secure
that no one will be so unreasonable as lo question
her right to sleep wherever Inclination prompts
her to sleep. No one calls it selfish, no one te an
noyed, because the has done it so prolUly snd
gracefully. Indeed every one experiences an cx
cense of warmUi and comfort In Muinselvee from
beboldleg pussy's bltisful reposo. Now Imagine
the same thing done In a different way, and by
less self-posted Individual, If Itwere done hnnelly
or noisily, or clumsily, or dkereuUy even, or
any way obtrusively, what a storm of Indignation
It would exclteln the bosom of all beholdcia? How
thoughtless, how Inoor.alderaje, howaelflshl No
II must be dono as tho oat doeafit, without a sound
nr gesture to provoke criticism, or It must not
douo at all."

wisdom into a few words. It was he aald, proba
bly oue-hall of the rudeness of youths ol this day,
that later In life will develop Into brutality,
due to Ihe failure of parents to enforce In tho fam

All of you must sit down while ono of your

something that you must do at a given signal,
When he has told everyone, he stands in the
center and counts one, two, three. As he
says "three" you must rise and in perfect si
lence do tho thing be hu told
you. If you laugh or speak before you have
obeyed bie command, you pay a forfeit. If
you will chose a bright ???fuuuy" boy or girl
for your commander you will flud so much

The Man in the Moon.???Stella opened her eyes
upon the very greenoet place they had ever seen.
It was a ship's cabin. Site knew that at a glance,
having been too often on boaidher Uncle lobn's
ship, but the darkest, dingiest and most forlorn
one. Imaginable. She jumped np quickly and
took a survey of hrr surroundings. Oue side of
the cabin seemed ???to be a mass of broken timbers,
through which came little gleams of da;llght and
a glimpse of waving grass. The ship Wdfi evidently
not on the water and itevcr would be again. It
was very queer, hut ft might be the fashion In the
moon to live In a ship, Stella thought.
Three or four of tho dirtiest children Stella had
ever foen were quarreling over some object As
Stella drew near ahe (aw that It waa-oh, horror???
the headless body of Cinderella. And tho man,
her acquaintance of tho night beftyp, was hi
w *. tuoole. arrssrswe <^1.,
for tho Inspection of ft dlrtj ftnd dejected looking
woman.
Stella corcnmed at tho fight, it wi* more, even,
than her ato utllltlo heart could bear.
The man shock her roughly aud told her to
keep still. Tho children forgot tbe doll and stood
about her with mouth and eye* wide open.
If you nre the man in the moon you haven't
any right to cut oft my Cinderella???s head!" said
Stella, boldly. "If there aroany policeman in the
moou I ahull havo you arrested. And I want to
go home. I don't thluk I shall like tho moou at
Ktelta wished Deborah could bear them.kne would
never say again there "never was nobody like our
youos ones for asking question*.???
And the sailers Feem??-<1 very ignorant of history.
Stella thought they had cot even heard there wa
a man In the moon But tbny took her Into the
boat and carried her over to the vessel and pat her
right Into her Uncle John???s arma.
It ??otind* ton good to be true, yot things do hap*
pen jmt right in the world sometimes.
Ui.cio John *hugged her aud kisaed her. and
laughed over her. and cried over her a little bit
too, big a man aa he was for he seemed to think it
waa a dreadful thing to be carried off by a tramp
in that wav. And Uncle John would not believe
any more than if he had been Jack???that the man
lived in the moon.
When they reached home fh-y found Stella???*
father and mother, her eight bribers and sirers.
and even Deborah almost distracted with grief and
anxiety. Tho whole town waa acarchingfor Stella.
The eight brother* and fistera stood around her
In a circle, while fhe related her Adventures, tho
questions they asked her would fill a volume.
Jack aald: "I think sho dreamed It. It sounds
Juat Ilk* aatory. I don???t believ* it.???
An officer was sent to arrest tho tramp early next
morning, but the rchooner w??a deserted, there
were scarcely any signs that anybody had ever
lived there, excepting poor Cinderella's body,
which he brought home.
Stella's father and Uncle John thought that tho
man had been frightened by Ktelia'a escape and
hid traveled off aa fast as powdble to avoid arrest.
But8tella'a rrivate opinion la that they got tho
ballon and went up to tbe moon that night.???

The man and woman both laughed. Tho woman
complained that they'd And her In the way, and
tho man replied that he would "keop her till there
was a reword offered??? and that they ???might as well
humor her notloaa.??? They offered her tome fried
Dili for breakfari, but bravo aa she wu, ahe wu
ton home sick and frightened to cat. The children
were very acetal aud Invited her to eccompany
them on deck. They climbed up a rlcklly tedder
and Stella looked around her with great curiosity,
Out-cf doerelu the moon mlghtbc pleasant if tho
dwellings were not.
Why, ltteti???l tho moon at silt It la Norwich!' 1
sho cried, "lf we haven't got there, I don???t think
II go, I'd rather go homo.???
They were on tbe wtook ol s Ashing ichooncr,
which wu half Imbedded lu the mud, just out

Stella wu disappointed, but a feeling of relief
that she who near home, mingled with her dis
appointment. For tho man In tho moon had cer
tainly not Improved In acquafutanc >, he had be
come vory unwilling to attiwer qoeitloni, and ho
had cruelly murdered Cinderella.
"How do you get lo the moon?" uked Stella.
Tbe children looked puaxtei and giggled, bat

taco that made her look Uko Jack,
???Do you llvo here all the lime?"

suite tried to be polite, but she spoke very de
cidedly.
'Oh! we oouldn't thluk of glvlug up a visit from

man. "Here yen don't see ns at our hut, our ship
hu run aground so to speak. My wife and I are
going out now to see If we can't hire us a balloon
to take us up to night and you???d better wait and

It did sound Inviting to go up to tho moon la a
balloon, bat Stella wu too home ilck. "I???m very
much Obliged to yon, hut I think I will go heme.
Fethspa the next Ume you come down 1 may go

Well, If you haven't changed your mlna before

And *11 fitells'a pleading snd teat were unavail
ing. The children were oent off to Norwich with
empty buketaon their arms, and the man snd hte
wife went off In another direction, first taking down
the tedder which led np tbe vessel's aide so that
Stella canid not get dawn.
Left alone, poor little Stella sobbed and (creamed
