His mother looks upon ids state with a sadness which lias afforded more or less amusement to her summer latarders. ‘There’s one of his last pictures," said the mother, displaying a photograph on a small curd. "It's a good likeness, ain't it? Getting kind of drawed round the mouth, same as his pa. he is. I said to him that I'd been . wanting he should have a dozen taken. so I could give ’em round to his friend I —young ladies for sometimes a picture : standing on a bureau, facing right to you every morning, will start a kind of affectionate feeling. I've been waiting in the hopes he'd think of It himself, but when I saw that lie was beginning to fade and show Ids age 1 took matters right into my own bands and man hed him to the photographer quick as I could. I only hope some good may I come of it." Youth's Companion. Not the Smite, Tess -He smd I looked handsome in that gown, didn't he? Jess -Not exactly. He said that gown looked handsome on you.
