Why His Mother-in-Liw Came.

A new boy arrived at my house last Saturday. He seems to understand his i business and uses the same kind of noise as other children of his age. He arrived by the light of a kerosene lamp, but I hope this will not be used against him if he ever runs for superintendent of schools, which, however, I understand he doesn’t intend to do. It seems to be the general hope of my friends that he will make a better man than his father. This thought, or wish, has also occurred to me—in the dark. lam glad now that my mother-in-law is here, although it hadn’t occurred to me before why she came. She seems to be perfectly at home with new babies, and has already turned several suggestions of mine to the wall. There were some i clothes made for a girl baby down to my house, but, as no business appeared under that head, the buttons were sewed on boy-fashion, and they will have to do.—Grafton ,(N. D.)
