LITTLE PILKINS.

From Sunday Afternoon for Juiy. In a certain June that has long gone by, late on a balmy afternoon, I sauntered forth to make the tour of my garden.

Now the fashion of the garden was on this wise: It lay in the angel of two street#, with a very good width in front, but stretching back still farther along the unpretentious little thoroughfare at the side, until it abutted upon a row of small but decent dwellings in the rear. A high board fence enclosed the greater part of it, but on a line with the middle of the house this ugly, impervious barrier eloped gradually down into a low, green, open paling,

It was dewy morning when I had last seen my cinnamon pinks and pansies, my yellow roses, and the beauteous bigshaft of double white rocket and it will never do to le^ve flowers 1 too long by themselves they need looking after and talking to very often, to keep them in their first perfection—persuasive admonitions twice a day, at least.

As I wondered leisurely from plant to plant and from shrub to shrub in a meditative way, I became suddenly aware of a strange sound of labored breathing, and directly I discovered a little plump pink face pressed in between the palings, one fat hand grasped a *lat on either side, the eves were tight shut, the mouth was puckered to a mere point, and the little bud of a nose was quite engrossed in snuffing up the air most assiduously, and then exhaling it again with a long sigh of satisfaction. "Fine or superfine?" pondered I. "Snips and snails" or "sugar and spice?" Boy or girl? But the question speedily answered itself, for behind the bars I caught sight 01 two sturdy little legs in gray stockings and knickerbockers, and out of one side-pocket peeped a blueedged handkerchief, and out of the other the apex of a top. Still the little bud of a nose kept snuffing on and on. "Wei1, well!" I said at last very gently, so as not to frighten away my little visitor "what kind of a nice little boy is that looking through my garden fence?" "It's a boy coll'd Ev'ett," was the response, in a" tone more gently still. "A boy coll'd Ed'ard Ev'ett. A boy coll'd Ed'ard Ev'ett Pilkins," he repeated and still his eyes were shut and still his nose went snuffing on. "And what are you doing," I asked again, "that makes you look so funny, I can't help laughing?"

The eyelids opened and disclosed a pair of mild, pale blue eyes, and the puck ered mouth relaxed into a smile as he answered, "Oh, 1'in only smellin' up this good smell in here. It smells so dreadful splendid in here that I stop and smell it up everv day when I go to school, and every day when I come home again." Then he shut his eyes and puckered up his mouth, and wedt to snuffing again. "Why don't you come inside?"-?! asked. "Darsent do it, ma'am." "Why not?" "Might get turned out and took^n up." "O, not when you are invited. If you would like to come in I will open the 6ide gate for you." "Wouldn't I though!" and this time he opened his eyes for good, and his whole tace was one big smile. "Wouldn't I, though, lik '.o _,et nearer to those poajes that suioli so ^rcadful fine!"

In a minute more he was among the flower-. "Weil, well, well!" he said 60ttly. "I never, never 'spected to be inside of this. Which do you think smells the very bestestof all, ma'am?" "I don't know, for I lore them every one bit perhaps this bed of pinks may please you best."

The "child took one snuff at the mass of pinks, and then went plump down on the gravel walk on* hands and knees, and hung over them as one bewitched. "Oh! oh I I never, never!" he ejaculated at last ih his little gentle way "no, I never, never! I cant breathe it in last enough, nor hard enough, nor long enough." "Oh, you need not feel so discouraged about it," I answered "you shall have plenty of time, and §ome of the pinks, too put them in water when you get home, and tliev will keep fresh for a long time. When they wither *come back and get some more." "Thank you, ma'am," he answeiedwith a little blush. Maybe that wouldn't be manners. Maybe tny farer wouldn't let me. "You can tell him I asked you, anyway," said I, gathering the pinks. "Now they'll know I've been in here, won't they? he asked with a radierit gleam in his e\ es. 'Cause how could I get the flowers if I wasn't? I never, nev er 'spected I'd come :nside! It wasn't wicked I gue69 to smell 'em through the fence. Farer says what you can carry away in your eyes and ears isn't stealing, and the same to your nose I guess. It looks 'zactly like "heaven in here, don't it ma'am?" "Does it?" I answered laughing "what do j'ou know about heaven, little manr' "Oh, lots and lots," he replied serenely. "I'm glad you do, but I think heaven 'has far more beauty and pleasantness than even rav dear garden." "Maybe so" but this is the highest to it that I ever saw." "Now hold the flowers, Edward, as I cut them." "Yes, ma'am but I ain't coll'd •Ed'ard." "Oh, I thought that was your name." "Ye?, ma'am, so it is but an Ed'ard coll'd Ev'ett." '•All right, sir we'll make no more such mistakes. Everett it shall be."

As I gave the boy the pinks, I saw that he put first one in his right hand and then one in his left, with perfect regularity. "Pinks to the right of me pinks to the lett ot me!" thought I to myself "into the valley ot bloom rode the young Everett!" When I cut the roses they were sorted in a similar fashion, and the geranium leaves, also, went their diverse vravs. "There," said I at last, "you have two gay little boquets, indeed! And -now tell me who told you so much about

Heaven." "Oh, diflfentones Joey, and the minister, and my Sunnel-school teacher, and ]my larer more'n anybody." "It isn't every boy that has a father like that you are fortunate." "Yes, ma'am. Farer 6ays a poor man •with a big family can't do miich for his children, but he can try to give 'em religion 'cause religion's cheap in this country, if anything is so he's tryin' very hard to give us all religion .'fore we grow up." "Well, how is it turning out?" "Joey's got it, and Marty's got it, and

Nelly hasn't got it yet, and Florry and

know much, and the

of anew baby

can't do anything but sleep." 'Yon must have a good father, Everett I hope his best wishes will all be fulfill

"Yes,ma'am I'vC got a

good

4Oh,

"Ain't that a nice name, too?" «,I .'SH "It's so tremendously long and strong for such a mite of a child! 1 should think it would wear him to the very bone!" "No ma'am," returned Everett gently. "He don't appear to mind it. Perhaps because we only call him Henny."

In the meantime, I had been cutting flowers and Everett receiving them, and dividing them as before quite impartially between his right hand and his left. Pinks, pansies, roses, phloxes, myrtle, jasmine, went twig lor twig and sprig for sprig cn this side and on that.

You always make two boquets, Everett," said I. "Yes, ma'am," repeated he with great mildness, "I always make two boquets."

It would have been gratifying to know why, but I did not ask him, for I respect the plans and purpose of little heads, and know that little hearts have often "long, long thoughts" in them. Not that I approve for an instant cf the wild and cata clysraal doctrine of Budge-and-Toddyism, which, if once permitted to prevail, would sweep the entire American nation from the face of the earth within six months, and leave the great Biid of Freedom himself, only a plucked, denuded fowl upon a barren strand. No, never that, for a mo ment but a feeling that there is an indi viduality in the little people as well as in the larger ones that deserves consideration. Perhaps the feeling has been strengthened by the still vivid memory of sundry sore-hearted hours, when the "Pshaw! pshaw!" the "Tut! tut!" or the "What's the good of it, child!" of an older will, went like the besom of destruction straight through certain little cob webby plans that had been long a weaving.

During that beautiful early summer Everett and I had many a pleasant meeting. Two or three times a week he com to see me we always fell into conversation on matters grave or gay or lively or severe I always cut a nosegay of flowers for him, and he always di rided them in his own little way. One day in paid-July I said to him "I have somevhiriglhis morning I know you will like. Almost all boys would like them better than lowers." "I don't know what it is yet," he aiswered soflly, "but I like everything i.i here." "I t's cherries! That's what it is!

Cherries are ripe cherries are ripe and children can have some Come into the house and get them." And I showed him the way up a half-dozen minature steps tucked deftly into a small corner, that led from the garden into the bay window of the, library. "Qh what a nice quirly steps!" ejaculaied Everett gently. "There's everything strange and pretty and nice like fairy tales in this Gardena-Edena."

We sat down by the library table whe the basket of cherries stxd, and I

too, only she's so busy she can't talk much "*and then my little visitor departed with his twin bouquets and a radiant face.

It was onlv a few days later when I saw the pleasant little visage thrust through the palings again. "Oh, I'm glad to see you!" I cried "Docome in!" "Thank you, ma'am. Can't do it." "Why not?" "Got put in the closet last time,"

"For what, pray?" "Coming in without being washed and scrubbed. Farer 6ays a poor man with a big family can't do much for his children, but he can make 'em clean, for water is cheap in this country, if anything is." "Well, then, can't you get washed and scrubbed?" ,-•»?»* •'Yes, ma'am Joey'il do it." "J "Fly home then, like a bird, and I'll wait here tor you." rt

When he came back there was'ari e» tra glow ou that round and ruddy countenance it gleamed like a red cheeked apple just polished for the fruit basket

the bed of pinks, and seemed like one enchanted. As I cut the flowers and gave them into his hands we fell into conver8 ation as before. "I'm so sorry you were put in the closet for coming here, Everett," I said. "It was a very unpleasant endirg to the afternoon." "No ma'am, not so very," he answered serenely. "Ought to have minded what I was told. Besides, I just shut my eyes and thought of the pinks till Joey let me out.''' "Are the others at home as fond of flowers are vou are?" "They like 'em very much they thought what I took home from here was awful nice, and they knew I'd been in here. The first thing Joey said when farer come home was,

farer! farer!

what do you think? Ev'ett's been in the Gardena-Edena, and here's 6ome flowers hat grew there!'" "In where?" I asked. "In the Gardena-Edena Joey always calls it so. That's my house he continued, pointing "one, two, three, down the row and when you go up stairs in the back room and squeedge your head way over sideways against the shutter, you can see a little piece of this GardenaEdena. If your barn wasn't there, and our houses was a little further back and turned a teenty-taunty bit this way, we could see lots of it. Joey's glad we can see even a speck of it." "Joey's your oldest brother, I suppoie." "No Ma'am, Joey's my big sister. She's a girl coll'd Jopliesine Panoleon Bonaparte Pilkins." "Oh and Marty's your next sister, then?" jjj "No, ma'am, Marty's m,r ^tg^oro'er He's a boy coll'd M' -m Thuler Pilkins." "Why,—wh»»*^ong, large names!" "Yes", mp'-iri we've all got em. Farer says a poor man with a big family can't do much for his children, but he can give 'em good names, 'cause good names is cheap, if anything is, in this country." "And may 1 know the nameo of the others, too?" i.v. "Oh yes, ma'am Next comes Nelly." "Another sister?'' "No, ma'am, a bro'er. He's a boy coll'd Hosharo Nelson Pilkins. And next comes me.

its IUby roundness before eating —and as I gave them to him his eyes shone with pleasure, but not one was put in his mouth. One cherry went into his right hand and one into his left. I tried him with a pair devoid of stems. The result was the same. One was enclosed by the palm of one chubby hand, the other by the palm of the other. Verily, thought I to myself, this is growing uncanny. The boy behaves as if he were a fairy himself, and 6ome inexorable ogre compelled him to go through with this unmeaning pantomine. If he does 60 the next time I see him, I will surely ask the reason why, and break the wicked spell.

And when I saw him a few days later, and gave him first flowers and then cherries, and found that he did just as before, dividing them with exactitude into two portions. I fulfilled my vow, "Everett," I said, "you have always made twoboque's out of the flowers I have given you." "Yes ma'am," he replied with great mildness, "I have always made two." "And now, instead oi' eating the cherries, you are making them into two bunches as you did before." "Yes ma'am, I'm making them into two." "I should like to know why, if you are willing to tell me." "Oh, yes, ma'am I'd like to. Half of all I have is Florry's. Half of all I ever had is Florry's. Half of all I'm ever going to have is Florry's." "Then the flowers were always for her, and these cherries, too?" "Yes, ma'am, and every thing I get. I always want her to have herhalf first, so as to' get the best, and she always wants me to have the best, and sometimes we can't tell which is the best, and tkat makes us laugh." "Is Florry your favorite, then?" "Yes ma'am," he answered very gently "Florrv is my favorite,"

"Why?" C, "Because Florry's sick. She's very sick. She can't "get well. She's too sick to stay here much longer. She's got a 'sumption, and she can't live long." "You never told me that. Everett!" "No ma'am you never asked me." "But my dear little man, you mu9t tell me what ever you want to, without my asking." .t "Must I?"S'"--' "Certainly doii't fail to do so." "Then I'll tell you something now shall ma'am?" "Of course, my dear." "Florry wants very much to see the lady that lives in the Gardena-Edena before she goes away. Florry's my dearest pet. Half of all I have is Florry's. Half of all I ever had, except you. I've seen you and talked with you and been in your Garde-na-Edena, and Florry hasn't. You have been just as sweet as*an angel to me, and smiled at me ever so many times, but not at Florry. She calls me 'Etty.' Almost every day she says, 'Etty, dear, I want to see that lady that lives in the GardenaEdena before I go." "I wish you had told me this before, Everett. I will go with you any hour of any day she wants me." "Thank you, m-'am I knew you would. Florry's seen a little bit of this GardenaEdena. She usey" to sleep in the little front room, but when she got worse, and couldn't sit up but a little while at a time, then she changed into the back room, so that when she did sit up she could squeedge her head sideways ever by the shutter and see a little bit of it Sometimes when the wind blows, she smells the flowers from 'way over here, and then she's glad. She hasn't sat up this week." "Have you a good doctor for her?" "Yes, ma'am. Used to have two, but it wasn't any good. They said she couldn't get well. Now we've got another that does all he can." "I am very sorry about your Florry." "Yes, ma'am, so am I," he answered softly, while the tears welled up in his eyes "but it can't be helped. Farer says, when you can help" a thing help it, and when you can't then bear it with patience. Farer 6ays a poorman with a big family can't do much for his children, but he can teach 'em to do without, and have patience,'cause patience is cheap, if anything is in this country."

Sound doctrine," I answered, "but sometimes hard to practice. Give your Florry my kindest wishes, and tell her vhe minute she wants me, 1 will come." "I will, ma'am, and thank you too and he went awav happy in his double treasure of flowers and fruit.

It is not within the power of words to describe the exceeding mildness of this little cli-Id. His most joyous joys seemed subaued his troubles appeared to leave him quite untroubled his strongest enthusiasms were completely under control. We have seen saintly mothers and grandmothers, like goodly vessels that hare breasted the waves, and been tossed by the tides and have bowed to the gales, at last floating into quiet harbors, in the mellow sunset light, but it is ra.e to meet such ripe serenity in youth or child'ucou,

My littie Pilkins seemed even to be aware of and to contemplate his own small lingual deficiencies with an unperturbed urbanity of soui. I sometimes wondered that the father or '.lie mother, or the helpful Joey did not correct them and make the little fellow mind his p's and q's, and various other consonants but perhaps with a Josephine Napcleon Bonaparte, a Martin Luther, and a Horatio Nelson before him, a Florence Nightingale, a Christopher Columbus and a Heoiy Ward Beecher before him, not to mention a mother that was too busy to talk, these sinless blunders were not thought worthy of notice. I supposed myself quite familiar with his especial methods of speech, but he continued a puzzle even to me, sometimes.

The time of cherries had passed, and vhe breathless heats of August had come, when Everett told me one morning that the doctor said Ekrry was worse. "Yes, my Florry is sicker and sicker," he said with a tremble in his voice "but next week," he added, trying to smile, "she'll feel better. She'll feel a good deal belter, 'cause next week's got a bursday in it. I'll be nine years old, and I'm going to have a present. "Won't that be nice," I answered. "Yes, ma'am, I'm going to have a present, and it's half for Florry. In the country where we used to five, right across the road from Darby-coll'd-Dea-con's there's a coasin that's going to send me a present It's a present of a Collo-coll'-toodles." "A what, Everett?" "A splendid Collo-coll'-toodles ana t*s half tor Florry. Isn't that nice 'Oh. very I should like to Lee it when it comes."

I'm right a'am you shall I'l bring it over and show it to you." On the following Thursday, therefore, he came to me all aglow with the mild radiance, and told me that his birthday present had arrived. •'It's here!" he cried jubilantly, "It's here, and Florry likes h!': '•How very pleasant," I replied. "Yes, ma'am, very pleasant and if you will let me, I'll run and get it, and show it to you. Nelly's holding it for me outside the gate.

Adb in a moment he had fled and returned, bringing with him a profusely woolly white poodle, which he sat down on the floor between us. It was so shaggy there was no knowing bow from 6tern until it walked, and it looked like a little 6heep-skin door mat that had suddenly rolled itself up and determined to be somebody. "Oh. that's it," I exclaimed with a sigh of relief. "Yes ma'am, that's it that's my Cello-coll'-toodlcs. All that kind of dogs is coll'-toodles, but this toodles' own name is coll'-Collo." "Carlo! Carlo!" I said, "come and get a neck-tie for I just be thought me of a sky-blue ribbon in the library drawer. \Ve lied it on, Everett and I, with a stylish bow behind his left ear, and then Everett kissed him over and again with chastened raptute. "The only matter of Collo-coll'-toodles," sa'd

Everett with a gentle sigh, "is. that we can't divide him. We don't know which half is Florry's and which is mine. I think the best way is for Florry to have all of him now, because you know when she—when she goes away,"—and there was a little choke in his throat—"I can't help having all of him. I'm afraid she'll go very soon now. She thinks so. Shes made mower wash her white dress all clean, and buy a white ribbon for her hair. She's glad that Collo-coll'-toodles came so soon, and she'ed be glad if you would come and see her to-morrow. She 6aid to-day, 'Etty' dear, tell, the ladv that lives in the Gardena-Edena that I'd like to see her in the morning if it's perfly convenient.' I'll come and bring you when her room's broomed up, if you'll come." "Of course 1 will, dear child, gladly."

It was earl} the next morning when Everett came for me, earlier than I expected him but I went just as I was, in inv white morning gown, stopping only to gather a flew flowers for the little sister, as we passed through the garden.

With a strange delicacy, no one of the family appeared. Everett alone conducted me through the passage, up the stair-case, all very plain, but very clean, into the sick child's room. A great pang of infinite pity rushed through my heart at the sight of the little fading life before me the white, patient hollow-eyed child, hurrying on with hot, quick pulses, into the great hereafter. Almost as instantly came also the remembrance that for her this visit 6houla be a time of peace, rest and soothing, without so much as one disturbing look or gesture. I laid my hand gently on hers and looked down in her eyes and 6miled.

She smiled in return. "I thank you ma'am," she said "I thank you very much, but I can't talk much my breath, goes so fast." "I came to talk to you," I answered, "as long as you want me, and about anything you like." "Te'll me about your Garden ot Eden, please. I'd like to hear all about that, How it's shap& out, and where thing grows.''

The little Carlo was nestled down by her side in the bed. Everett climed up and rested near him leaning on his elbow, looking part of the time at Florry and part at me. I laid thd flowers in one of her little thin hands, and took the other in mine. "It's so strange and so nice to see you," she said, stopping between every few words to breathe. "I've wanted it so much and now I've got it. Almost everything comes just as I want it. I wanted to see Carlo, and Carlo's here, and loves me already. I wanted to see you, and you're here. I was afraid my white dress wouldn't be ready, but mother washed it, and Joey ironed it and sewed a frill in, and that's reauy. They all wear white there, don't the.v "I think so," I answered slowlv. "of one kind or another. Do you care 60 much for the dress, dear 'y "I know what you think. Yet, I know He could make it white and clean as he could my heart, as I think he has but I just wanted to look ready, too. I am all ready but one or two litile things. I want to go. There's too much pain and weakress here for me. I love the home up there. I love those that (live there. They seem like dear, kind friends to me. But one tiling troubles me,—and that is how I'll go. Etty thinks a shinning angel will bear me to the skv, don't you, Etty dear?" "Yes, Florry, I'm sure of it." "But if it should be a stranger angel," she said anx.ously, "wouldn't I be afraid? If only the kind Lord himself could come! But of course he can't for every child that has to go! Don't you think I'll be afraiu?"

I pa* ted the little hand, and shook my head and smiled. Not even one tiny bit I think the 'dear, kind Friend' you have w»ll be glad to go

with. He has made all

the other things come right, he will make this right too. Only trust him for this, as you have for the rest "I think I can," she said looking ear ne6tly at me. "I will. I

do.
