THlE OCHILD REN'N R002M. nY TIDWAnD OLYNDON. Manly faces were bright with smiles, leautty was trying tie strength of her wiles Flashes of wit flew ipnikling about, Merry innie was trifling out; But I turned away with a merry sigh, The gorgeous scene might pleaNe the eye: Yet I wondered how inuch -was owhig to art Anl whether the feehligs had any part, And I stole away, in the gathering gloor, Quietly up to the children's room. The (keiar old roomt with its childlike air! rhero were no ,stling satins there, No horrowed bloom, no Jeweled hair, Nothing too nice for wear and tearl But the ringing laugh and hearty shout, iad reckless teet went tripping about, Carelessly, fearlessly in and out! IIere is no show ot' gilded pomp, To awe us from having ai merry romp, The carpet is aneent, the walls are bare, We mayknock them about and mother won'i care! A truce to formality, bplues and gloom, We can do as we please in the children'i room! Open the door-what a sunshine burst? What a trying to see whiele shall kiss mc first I IBaby Charley upon my knee, Clinging around my neck ale three! Ella wants fne to "econe antI play," Virgie pleads for at longer stay; I promised to tell her a story to-day! Willy is hugging me out of breath Children, you'll certainly squeeze tne tc death! Now, you've got tie down on the floor, I'n really too tired for anything nore! Uqry I wht are you doing there ? llow you are tangling up iny hair! Want to curl it? well, I don't cate! I'mn not going down stairs again. Al! the siow is too empty and vain, I'd rither stay here in tie children's room! This is better than rustle aid -lare, And a welcome ever awaits mie there; Now they clu-iter around like bees, There are no treasures I prize like these. Thesefresht young f'aces-tihese truthful eyes! Thankful tears in my owin arise. Have they a sorrow? a joy ? a care? Sister must always have a share, Sister must wipe away the tears, Sisfer must quiet tiha anxious foars, Mister must join in the nerry lau-ih, Or the story loses its zest by half. The children's room I I remember well, Ti'le lhour when a tea rible darkness fell 6eroouarahones, andl we tatoved about Softly. silently, ina and out. Wegathiered arouand her ans .she lary hireaithing her sweet 3 oung life away, Our darling' Miniile! our youngest pet! Hecr arane is remeinbered alnd( spokeni yet! We carriedl her out froin lthe chrikirena's roonu. 'twa long ere it lost its deathbful gloonm! Someutimes there's a weary pa in at my heart, A longing I cannrot inakce depart A~( restless iaching. whichl defies My nmost philosophIcal theories. I leave niy uranflied work or book, And steal away to thais derar old nook; And wheni I crnter I leave it without Each pressing care and each puzzling doubt. Bright young farces dlispel the gloomr,.

"Oh, yes, of course,"' sidt Mrs, 'Uaxgtovo, "but we have so feW i sto's that tare -charitably dies posed, anid ill our own faImily there are0 so many outlays for money." "In gomto of thre hrotuss whIerd I amti acquainted," persisted the old glergymnan, "there is quite a fund rraised by friendly fines levied by vdifferent members of the family on each other, a penny fotr gloves, Or hat loft. lyIng aroutnd, a penny for a careloss ungraamatical ox. pression, anad so on-and it is a very useful as welhl as charItable institution." e' ~ dliPd say," -said Mrs. (Cax grovo ; "but in our family it would 'carcely be worth while."

And .elen Barr told mo at the artists'roception last Thursday-" She chocked herself' as the dark blue velvet curtain, which full over tho emibrasur') of the bay-window, was lifted and her friend's husband sau1n torod4orth. "I did not know you were thoere, Stephon," said Mrs. Caxgrovo, coloring a little. "So I concluded I" he observed (Iryly. And taking up the little mito-chest, he hold it with a smilo toward the visitor. "I have no pennios," she said, glanciing ovor the conf'onts of her morocco portemonnic, and slight. ly tossing her head, as she arose to take her leave. "Th(o stingy creature !" ojacula. ted Mrs. Claxgrovo, when the door was clearly closed behind her, "I don't believe any one over know Myrtilla Jaynosford to give a cent in charity !" ,,See hero, Lill," said her hus band, "' only wish I had a phono. graphic report of your convor'Sa tion For the last half hour." "why ?" "Bocauso you and your friend, Mirs. Jaynosford, woro tearing the world into tatters ! What does the Bible say about the unruly mom. ber !" "Nonsense!" said Mrs. Cax Grove, reddening. "'Myrtilla is a groat gossij), but-" "I beg your pardon, Lill, but you vere as bad." "I don't believe it." "Let us make a bargain, my dear," said Mr. Caxgrove. "I give a tolerably good allowance for pin money every wook, don't I ?" "Yes; but what on earth has that to do with it ?" "Just this ; every time your tongue touches a neighbor's mis doings, or speaks disparagingly of any one, you shall put a ton cent note into the mit-chest." "1 would jutst as soon do it as not," said Mrs. Caxgrove, excited lv. "1 am sure I never-" "Is it a bargain ?'" "Ye s, of course. If it was Myr tilla Jayn'osford(, no0w-" Mr'.

"But I thought it was a bar gan'' Mrs. CaLxgrovo swep)t indignant ly across the room. Presently she jerked the bell-wiro. "Susan," -she said to the gir-l who answered the summons, "do take those sickening tube ros away. Anybody might know when Mi's. Lawrence has had aL ball at ber -house; she sends the second-hand flowers round among her~ friends the noxt day." "Susan," said Mr'. Carugrovo, philosophically "take that little pa. .er box to your mistress." -"Stephen," cried Mr's. Caxgroveo, "I only-" "I know it., my dear,'' said her husband, "If' you say so, I release you from the agreement." "I don't wani't to be released," said Mrs. Caxgrove, angrily. "Ac cident happens to be 0on your sido jue t now." "On the side ot the Hiome Mis sion, you mean,"' said the husband. "Bly the way, there's that note from Miss Dallas to be answeored. Have you forgotten it ?" "What shall I say ?" "Accept tho~ invitation, I sup "Oh, Stephen, I would so much rather go totheooperal It's al ways so stuid at the Dallas,' with old1 Mris.

"'1on conts, faill, if you please." "Why, Stephen, wvhat have I said ?" Oh, to be sure," And Mrs. Cargrove could not help laughing.

"Only a polite fctian. -Ther-, K havon't a shoot of noto papr. left! Mrs. Captain Sibthorpo sent in and borrowed the last yesterday.

"It's too bad I" cried LUlha with flaming chooks, "I didn't moan to bo taken up this way," "I only wish Mrs. Jaynesford or 0110 of her set would call again," said Mr. Caxgrovo, roguishly., "There goes the bell now I" "I shall be on my guard," said tho wife. "I do believe it's Mrs. Montaguo, the very one of all oth ers I most wish to soo. No, it isn't either, it's old Miss Ducoy. Oh, dearl now I shall be bored for a t mortal half hour." t "The Home 11ission again !" said ( Mr. Claxgrovo, calmly presenting tile inexorable miito-chest, at the i same instant in which Miss Diucev was showl into the drawiig room. Miss Ducoy had coni1 to tell 0 Nfrs. Caxgr-ove all the particulars of a recent wedding, an1d she stop ped anl hour and a half. And when sho Vot away sho circulated th I'( pirt that '"poor Mrs. Caxgrove's V husband was really gotting quite insano on the subjoect of money, for all the time she was there he sat in the bay-window, pretending to be busy with a book, but every 0 now and then lie would repent to himself, "Ton cents, ton cents, ten cents." "And, my dear," added Miss Du coy, "T never saw ia person look so mortified as Mrs. Caxgrove did.- R She trned as red as a beet." 'Stephen," cried tile wife, as soon as her visitor had gone, "it's t too bad for you to mako one re- ' sponsible for the tongue of an old t tale bearer like Miss DdrCv! I couldn't Stop her mouth!" "Of comrso not," said Stephen ; "'your month is tile only one for C which you are accountale, and d has just got you into another tell cit difficulty. Upon my word, the I Ifome Mission is making nioney lit a railroad riato. Don't look so vexed, Lill, darling ; all this only c proves to you that you were real- . ly getting into an almost uncon scious habit of criticism and fault tinding" "Bu1t I declare I won't be caught c again," said Mrs. Caxgrove, re8o- I lutoly. i At the end of five minutes she a came back with a telegram in her I hanild. "You'll have to go to the (depot, t Stephen,'' she said, "to meet tIle Ravens. Here is a telographic 1 dlispatch to say that they are on thieir- way' to visit us.

Caxgrove, f half laughing, half cr-yi ng, "'for t the futuro I. will try to 'set a t watch upon the0 door' of my lips.'" Mr. Caxgrovo countedl out tile i money a.nd sent it to Mr. Salteri with a little niote sayinig that the ii miite-chest had met with better r huck thian his5 wifo had anticipated. i "We'll set a little trap to catch I a bad hlabit againl," lie said laugh- s ingly to Lilla. "I hop1e the money I will do the 1Hom'o Missionl much I good, but I am sure it has already I wrought a good work in my own t little dlomoetic mission."' "I thlink so, too,'' said Lilla.

' The sledges are narrow anId hlave i anl oscillating mlotionl, and one un- r accustomed to them will tumble t out ini all directions.

After you got pitchmed out, the reindeer stops ~ when hoe is tir-ed of drl agging you ~ through thiosnowv. Somnctimos they ' 'bout face and buck, you out, and ~ niot unfrequently perform that I task by kicking.
