Both Became Bead.

It Is a fact that sore persons are very little loved. It may be partly their fault; but do not let that be an excuse for not doing your part to somewhat improve their condition.

A mother once introduced me to her little daughter in the following words: “Mr. Scott, that Is my ‘crosspatch’ daughter; she is ugly to everybody.” As 1 looked into the face of that miserable-appearing child I felt

so sorry for her that I epoke a few kind words and gave her the benefit pf a few smiles. And to the astonishment of the mother the ohlld made a fairly good attempt to smile back. As we stood looking at each other the mother 'hissed her glri and made the remark, “Perhaps she is going to be good hereafter.” It is a pleasure for me to record the fact that the mother soo -came “good hereafter,” and so did uie child.—George R. Scott
