Frederick’s Thoughts.

A young mother went upstairs one evening to be sure that her son was safely sleeping. As she paused at the door of the nursery she saw her husband standing by the side of the crib, gazing earnestly at the child. As she stood still for a moment, touched by the sight, tears filled her eyes, and she thought, “How dearly Frederick loves that boy!” Imagine the shock to her feelings when he suddenly turned toward her and said: “Amelia! It is incomprehensible to me how they can get up such a crib as this tor $3.C0.”
