RESOLUTION SHATTERED.

The Moral Work on Jack Jones. A little boy came home one day from school in a very bad humor. An* other boy, Jack Jones, had given him a thrashing, and he wanted revenge. “Oh," said his mother, “don’t think of revenge, Willie. Be kind to Jack. Heap coals of fire an bis head. Then he will become your friend.” Willie thought he would try this method. So the next day at recess. Just as he,was buying a lemon pie for luncheon, Jack appeared and said: “Look here, I licked yon yesterday, but I didn’t give you enough. Now I’m going to lick you again.” And he planted a hard blow on Willie’s little stomach. Willie gasped, but instead of striking back he extended his pie to Jones. “Here,”'he said in a kindly voice, ‘lll give you this. I make you a present of it” Jack, In glad amazement, fell upon the pie greedily, and it had soon disappeared. “Gosh, It was good!” he said. “What did yon give it to me for?” "Because you struck me,” said the heaper of the coals. * Instantly Jack hauled off and struck him again. “Now go and get another pie,” he said. —Ladies’ Home Journal.
