Kitty Clover.

Kitty Clove* is a pretty child, but she is always in a fret. Morning, noon and night you hear Kitty Clover erying. Her aunty said the;, other day that she thought she really should have to go abroad. She could not live another year in the same house with a girl who was forever in tears. 1 The day begins in this way with Kitty: Mamma says, “ Come, darling, it’s time to get up. The first bell rang five minutes ago.” 44 O, dear!” says Kitty, 44 1 haven’t bad half enough sleep. I can't wake up yet 1” “But, my love, you have not time to lie still. Breakfast will be ready, and you have your lessons to look over, and niate o’clock will soon be heret” Veiy ungraciously Kitty rises. She pokes out first one foot and then the other, and she looks about to see what she can find as a cause of complaint. “ Most I wear that hateful dries?” she exclaims presently, 44 1 want to wear my new one and ruffled apron.” 44 That dress will do yon for this week, dear,” mamma answers cheerfully. But it is no use. Kitty Clover cries. Between daylight and dark she sometimes cries sixteen times. Yet, strange to say, it Is only at home that she behaves so. In school, her teacher tells hs, she is a very good child. Nowhere; except where mamma is, is oar little girl so cross and fretful. . What shall we do with Kitty? We are afraid that a pucker is growing on her pretty forehead, and that the tears will wash all the brightness out of her blue eyes. Is there nothing that Kitty herself could do to help mena this dreadful state of aflaira I—Lucy Hilton, in Chrittian at Work.
