Father was a bricklayer, and mother owns a little bouse be almost built himself, but that is all. She sews, sir, so I thought 1 would see if I could earn one."

HecauMOthe pleasure would not have been ao great to either Harry «Ids mother.

A little girl said of her ill-tempered uticle "He hasn't p* a tingle laugh in bis &ce." "So flur, ao good," as the boy said when he finished the first pot of his mother's jam.

Mother," said little Ned one morning, after having fallen out of bed, *4I think I know why I felt out of bed last night. It was because I slept too near when* I got in."
