A NEW "s.iw,” ._og__. CURING A BAD HABIT.

Cl|Al‘1‘l'2R 1.

Tom \Vliitewocd was tired; be had done an unusually hard day's work in the shop. and it was with a feeling of satisfaction that he entered his neat cottage, where rest and re- freshincnt awaited hiui.

'l‘oiii was the village blacksmith, at Spindle- ville, and people had it very high opinion of his good qualities ofiiiind and heart, no less than of his industry and pL‘l‘n0\‘t!l':l.l|Cd in business. Ile had been married about two years, an bright little girl had for six months smiled upon his happy liouie.

Toiu went into the house, rejoiced that his 333"»! work was done.

The stcaiiiiiig tea-pot. und the hot bi.-euit look- ed more than usually inviting, for Tom was liungry, as well as tircd—and his hump of sliiiieiitivcness \vas also “ s 6.”

" Thomas won't you bring in an aruiful of vlootl .3” said Susan.

“Oh, dear! l'nisu tired!" said Susan, as she threw herself into the chair and drew it

desperate long breath. . “ ‘ am I," replied '1‘oin, "and the chair feels ood. Those are first-rate biscuit, Susie; I

they taste tip-top.’

Susan was pleased with the com iliment. We believe housekee ers have a wea 'ness in being tickled, when their culinary preparations are raised.

“ aiu glad you like them, Thomas."

“ I do, and no mistake,” added Toiu, cram- ming the half ot'one into his capacionsmaw. They say a wide mouth indicates a large heart, and Tom's mouth was very large indeed.

Tlicre is the trouble. Tom was not an angel. lflic had been, probably I never should have fotind the material for my sketch. Ile was human, and though a very clever fellow, and a uiodel of industry, perseverance and thrift in Spiudleville, he had his iulirmities.
