If m our years old 1" Haggle's Toothache. Maggie Morton was a very fine little girl if she was a tomboy. She oould ride " any horse" (so she said, but her experience had been limited thus far to a couple of aged specimens who plowed corn for a living), rake hay, hoe corn, fish, "pull off shoots" which, trans lated, meant firing off her brother Har ry's gun and sundry other accomplish ments we have not space here to men tion. But you never heard this little lass boast of work indoors. Indeed no. She lived -in the open air a great por tion of the time, and it oould not be ex pected of her that she should take care of Dame Nature and her mother, too. So she ran wild, and was healthy and happy. .Now, witn all ner neaitn and good nature, Maggie had one fault. She told very large stories, and was apt to deceive when it served her purpose ; and this sketch is to explain how this little girl was tripped up completely by a rope oi ner own scretcmng. One nne spring morning ner uncle Amos stopped as he was passing the house, and called to Maggie, who was very busily engaged in budding a mini ature leaning tower out of brick so much of a leaning one, in fact, that it managed to fall over when it got half the required height. She heard the call, and in a flash was standing by the side of the carriage in which her rela tive was seated. " A -present for vou. Mafir&rie." he said. as he dropped a wee black puppy into her apron, which she had instinctively held out after hearing the first two words. " Oh, thank you, uncle. What a good one he is, isn't he ? I expect he will grow up to watch me and bite folks ; don't you think he will?" l nope not, replied ner uncle, as he drove away. "I expect to make a few calls during the year myself ; and if he ia ungrateful enough to bite one who saved nun from drowning, X shall be sorry for my efforts in his behalf." Maggie wended her way toward the house in silent contemplation of the an imal that "scrambled around in her apron, now and then giving vent to a spiteful yell in finding himself in Buch close quarters. " Oh, mamma," she cried, on entering the house, " just look here! Suoh a real, blessed little puppy ! He's mine. Uncle Amos gave him to me. Hear him scream for milk. Please will you skim a mess, so he may quit and wag his tail?1' " Not now, dear," replied the com posed mother, as she opened the oven door and withdrew a loaf of snowy bread. "I will see to him by and by. It is time for you to get ready for school. John and Harry have already gone." The tears sprang into Maggie's eyes. Not even one minute left wherein to enjoy the companionship of her beau tiful pet! She abruptly left the room. After some ten minutes had passed, her mother stepped to the door and called her. No answer. She called again. Then a faint voice: " I don't bl'eve I can go to school to-day, ma." " Why. my dear ?" . "I've got the toothache, oh, ever so bad." How lone have you had it?" " O, a good long while ; but it cane on harder since " Since the dog came, I suppose added ber mother. "No. it wasn't the puppy did it. It inst came on." Now it so chanced that Mr. Clinton. the teacher, had called at the house the evening before, and confided to Mrs. Morton and her husband a genu ine and delightful surprise for the whole school. Mr. Gibson, the owner of a beautiful place near by. had in vited him to bring his whole school on the following day lor a good twelve hours' recreation strawberries and cream in abundance, and a good time generally. - Mr. Clinton also stated that this gentleman had kindly furnished boats he lived across a beautiful river that ran bv the school-house and oars men beside, "ao x snau mereiy can . . . n s a . w M the school to order," he added, "and after teiluur them wnere we are going, pack them off ; for my friend says he wants to greet tnem in weir every -cay school garb not dressed up for tne oc casion. . . Of course Mr. and Mrs. Morton nromised to keen all this to themselves but they both had enjoyed in anticipa tion the store of genuine pleasure for their three children. But here was Maggie with a made-up toothache, a&K kg to remain at home, utterly ignorant of the sacrifloe she was making. With a half sich her mother assented to her staying, with the added inquiry as to which particular tooth it was that troubled her. - . .. ,, J , " Don t know," replied tne ntue cul prit, trying to cry, " I b l'eve it s an oi em. t "Come here. then. I shall rub pain killer around each tooth." ' ; "Oh no. ma. exclaimed tne youtmui invalid, suddenly alive to the dangers of having the toothache all around. " I guess it's only a little irons one. Don't put it on any but the front one, please, and I will get over it real soon." XUTS. morion mwaya u s bud however. She rubbed the preparation generously throughout the sufferer's mouth, and, doing her face up in red flannel, bade her stay in-doors, on pain of severe punishment, and left her to inflections. Noon came. Maggie had played with her puppy to her heart's oontent, and was tired of him. So, with her nose nrAssed flat against the window-pane. she watched for her brothers. But they came not. Two, three, four o'clock. and still no Harry, no John. Poor Maggie was almost beside herself with anxiety by this time, and could net help wondering at the calm demeanor of her mother. But just as the sun sank out of sight : the 'front---door slammed, as it only can slam when boys are about, and in rushed the absent ones, fall of boisterous, mirth, and very much stained about the mouth. "Where have you -been?" inquired . Maggie, wonderingly. ',. "Been!" replied Harry, dancing vig orously on one leg. " Why, over to Mr. Gibson's, to be sure. The whole school was invited. We went across in boats he sent for us. I tell you it was jolly. Wasn't it, John?" " It was that," replied John, throw- ing his hat in the,, corner and stretching himself on the lounge. "But what was the matter with you, Mag ? All the girls were crazy to know why you weren't there." Maggie unfortunately received the gift of a fine pup, and was immediately seized with a severe toothache," replied Mrs. Morton, gravely? "Mr. Clinton had told me before of this holiday, and I knew what my little girl lost by her affliction ; but as she said she waff un able to go I let her stay at home." Poor Maggie ! This was the unkindV est cut of all. To know of such Eleasure and keep her out of it! Her ps quivered and . her little form trembled, and her brothers looked on in silent pity. "Your tooth is somewhat better, is it not ?" inquired Mrs. Morton, calmly. "It's just like it always was," replied the child, rising defiantly to her feet. " It never ached ! I lied, so I did I" Mrs. Morton was a wise mother. She did net turn the child from her at this critical moment, when rebellious na ture, smarting under . disappointment confessed its misdeeds for spite's sake. ssq, indeed, tone tenderly passed her arm about Maggie's waist, and drawing; her close to her, softly said : "ljearn from tins, my dear child. that falsehood brings its own reward. I love you. So do we all. But your besetting sua nas punished you instly to-day." Maggie nad tne reaL genuine tooth ache about six months after this event, but kept it all to herself for a whole day, like a little heroine, and was only betrayed when she burst into tears from very pain. ' X knew it was real toothache, ma. she said; "but it made me feel bo 'shamed to think of when I had it make believe, that I kept still till it broke through." Christian Union.

Now, my young friends, in case any' of you should come across a nice round, yellow mock orange, IU tell you what to do with it provided your grand- mubuer. nirtKKiy hub good one in iter stocking-basket. If not, you should give it to her, and get yourself another one. A canary bird told me that the way old ladies darned stockings was to put a big yellow ball in them, and then pick at tnem witn a queer sort of a shiny steel bill ; . and though his de scription wasn't clear, I knew what he meant. Well, you take your round mock-orange, and force a knitting needle clear through it from the stem end, so that it will turn evenly on the needle. Then, with a blunt needle, you mark the grand divisions of the earth upon it JtSurope, Asia, Africa, and America (you see I know them') in just the right shape, and then yon put in your oceans and islands, and what not, all complete. Next . yon go over all the markings with a camel s hair brush dipped in red ink, or violet ink, or any water-color you choose. taking care to wipe the orange off m-.. stantly with a soft, damp cloth. The color will sink into the markings and leave the surface of the mock-orange clean. Then you have your globe com plete. And you can make a little prop, if you are ingenious, tnat will let your globe revolve on its knitting needle or axis, at precisely the right angle. After a while it gets dry and hard, and if you please you can go over tne markings once more witn a fine pen dipped in the proper color. ..
