again, and called her “ her own pretty doll- 
baby,” in the very same way your mother 
used to call you her “ little darling ” when 
you was a little baby. 
Susie enjoyed the delight of the poor girl 
who had never known anything half so nice 
before, fully as much as she had enjoyed the 
doll. Though she loved it very much she 
was perfectly willing to lot it go, for she 
knew that Mary would take more delight in 
it than she would, for she had books and 
playthings, and a doll that was almost as 
nice as this one, and Mauy had not. 
Mary went home feeling happy as a 
queen, as the saying is, though whether 
queens are happier than other people I can¬ 
not say. 
Susie told her father all about her gill to 
the little girl, and he patted her cheek and 
said she was very generous and he was glad 
of it. 
Susie was surprised enough, next morning, 
to find another doll precisely like “ Linda ” 
on her bed, with a paper pinned on its dress 
on which was written :—“ A present to the 
little girl wlio was unselfish and generous 
enough to give away her new doll to a poor 
little girl who had none. From Papa and 
Mamma.” Was’nt that nice ?

toned with a gilt clasp,anti a belt of blue 
silk, with a clasp of gilt-and-erystul that 
Susie thought just the prettiest thing lie 
ever saw for a doll. It was prettier than the 
belt-buckle that mamma bought, for a dol¬ 
lar! Of course, Susie was delighted. It 
would have been strange if she had not 
been, for I think all little girls are fond of 
dolls. She had had a doll before that she 
thought a great of till this one was given 
her. This one was so much larger and 
prettier that the old one was of little account 
at once, and had been put away in her lit tle 
trunk, where she kept her doll-clothcs. 
Susie sat by the window Unit cold frosty 
morning and watched the people in the 
street, us they hurried hymutfled up in furs 
and comforters. Doll “ Linda ” was propped 
up in a chair beside her, and, 1 suppose, she 
was watching the passers by, too. 
By-and-by a little girl came along and 
stopped at the gale. She looked about her, 
as if to make sure that she was at the right 
place, then lifted the latch and came in. 
Pretty soon there came a tap on the street- 
door, that sounded very much as though a 
bird was pecking on the elm tree that grew 
by the window. 
“ Come in,” said Susie, who was the only 
one down stairs. Her mother was in the 
nursery with baby F bed. 
The little girl came in, with a timid look 
in her blue eyes, and laid down a bundle 
she bad brought., on the, sofa. “ My mother 
sent this sewing homo,” she said, looking at 
Susie and pointing to the bundle. 
“Oh,you’re Mel Stow’h little Marv she 
told me about, then ?” said Susie, as she set 
a sol, a chair out lor her little visitor. 
“Yrs; I’m MART STOW,” answered the 
little girl, as she sal down before the bright, 
warm fire, whose warmth mul cheerful 
crackle was very comfortable when com¬ 
pared with the keen, cut tin!;; air out of doors. 
Susie noticed that the little girl’s clothes 
were old and worn, though very clean, and 
nicely patched ; and she thought, her mother 
must be very poor, or she would get brtl.er 
dresses and aprons for her child. Thought¬ 
less little Susie ! She knew nothing of the 
poverty ami sorrow all around her in the 
great city! 
“ Do you like dolls f she asked, as she 
noticed that the little girl’s eyes kept wan¬ 
dering to “ Linda,” who was still standing 
by the window. 
“Oh, yes,” answered Mary, “ever so 
much. 1 think they are just, the nicest things 
I ever saw ! ” 
Susie brought “ Linda” and put her in 
Mary’s lap, then sat down to enjoy the ad¬ 
miration she received. Mary had never 
seen anything so nice before. It was like a 
pretty dream — that doll in its white dress 
and blue ribbons—a pretty, pretty dream. 
“ Have j'ou got a doll ?” asked Susie. 
“No,” answered Mary, with a little sigh. 
“ Mother works all the time to get clothes 
and food and she can’t spare enough to buy 
me one. I wish she could, for I do love 
them so much !’’ and her eyes went back to 
“ Linda’s ” pretty face again. 
SusiB was a very generous little girl. A 
quick thought came into her mind, and she 
ran out of the room and up to the nursery 
with a plan in her head that did credit t© 
her heart. 
“ Mamma,” she cried, “there a little girl 
down stairs, Mrs. Brow's little girl, and she 
loves dolls ever so much, but she has’nt got 
any! Can’t 1 give her ‘Linda ?’ My other 
doll will he just as good for me, and she 
would be no glad ! May I give her ‘Linda,’ 
mamma ?” 
“ It' you want to I have no objections,” 
her mother answered, pleased at her little 
daughter’s generosity. 
“ Oh, I’m no glad!” Susie cried, and skip¬ 
ped down stairs again. 
The little girl was just pulling ©n her mit¬ 
tens and getting roady to go home. She had 
laid “Linda” on the sofa, wishing, Susie 
knew by the look on her face, that the doll 
was hers, or that she had one just like it. 
Susie waited till Mary got to the door. 
Then slio ran and got “ Linda” and put her 
in the little girl’s arms before she knew what 
Susie was about. 
“ You may have ‘ Linda ’ for your own, 
to keep her just as long as 3*011 live, if she 
lasts so long,” Susie said. 
At first Mary could not believe her. But 
when she understood that the doll was really 
Iter's she was fairly beside herself with hap¬ 
piness, She kissed “ Linda ” oyer and oyer

THE RURAL F0UIUYEAR OLDS, 
Urn farmers’ hoys generally arc intelli¬ 
gent, lively lads, w ho only waul the proper di¬ 
rection in order to enable them logrow up to 
be wise and good men. TI’they have improved 
the advantages afforded to them by the admi¬ 
rable school ayvlems which obtain in all 
flutes, they have it in t he: . ""to lav the 
foundation ofsuch an education •*- . ■ i 
I hem to choose almost any profession m .. , 
al ter t hey become of age. 1 suppose the Ru¬ 
ral New- Yorker is eagerly read in hun¬ 
dred-of farmers’families, in each of which 
there arc two or three intelligent boys about, 
from 14 to 17 years of age. Ltd such never lbr- 
gef that, their profession is the noblest they 
can choose — the safest, the most satisfac¬ 
tory, the least bur raws jng, the one most sure 
to lead to competence and wealth in the end. 
The nation’s wealth and prosperity depends 
upon its agricultural productions. Sigh not 
after <113* pleasures; they are hollow and 
delusive, and lead to ruin. Do not leave 
healthy, I nippy farm work for cit}* occupa¬ 
tion. Above all, scorn to be a counter- 
jumper, salesman, or “ clerk in a store.” 
Wh.'LvtT advantages you may have for cul- 
Uvaling your mind:-;., improve them to the 
Uliii* - I. When I was of your age, 1 lived on 
a id no for four years, and was allowed to go 
to school during the four months of Decem¬ 
ber, .ftuiuary, February and March, provided 
1 tooi: care of my cattle, and did my other 
work jdiout the barn and house, as usual, 
l mention this to show hmv much an ambi¬ 
tious boy can accomplish, if he is really 
determined to make a mao of himself. 1 
f ound it very easy to get all my work pro¬ 
perty done, and to be cleanly dressed and 
ready to start fer the academy by half-pant 
eight in the morning. 
Supposing that your studies at school will 
he well directed,! will say but little on that 
point. Study but a few branches at a time. 
Too many different studies distract the mind, 
and prevent }*ou from mastering either. 
Make yourself master of the principles of 
arithmetic, and when you are 16 boldly dive 
into Algebra. English Composition ought 
to be one of your chief studies, and you 
ought to pursue it 1 ill you can sit down and 
write, out yOur thoughts with ease, on an}* 
subject. No matter how old }*ou are, pin* 
groat attention to the manner in which you 
read aloud. There is not one man in a 
thousand who is a good reader. Do you 
strive to ho that man; it will pay. When 
you are 17 , study Blair’s Rhetoric — the 
large University edition. Make yourself 
master of that admirable work, and 3*011 w ill 
never regret it through life. 
Now for reading in the long winter eve¬ 
nings. Begin with Walter Scott’s Tales 
of a Graudfat.hrr, in about 12 small vol¬ 
umes. They are tales from the history of 
Scotland, and you will find them exceed¬ 
ingly cu, 1 tabling. Tytler’s Universal lift 
lory is another good hook for young persons, 
and then Washington Irving’s Astoria, A 1 
hambra. and Conquest of Grenada, may be 
read. When you read Plutarch’s Lives, 
try to get Clough’s edition, in five large 
volumes, and read it very slowly. Sir Wal¬ 
ter Scott’s novels may all be read with 
benefit, but only read one at a time, and in¬ 
tersperse tlicm with more solid food for the 
brain. Read Pore’s Iliad, and try to catch 
the spirit of that, immortal poem. There is 
no complete history of the United States 
except Bancroft’s, and that is open to ob¬ 
jections in some respects. However, read it 
as you have opportunity. Hume’s History

ONE .MOTHER’S FOUR-YEAR-OLD. 
Prayer on Thanksgiving Evening.— 
Frank Mel., of three and a half years, on 
being pul to lied, after dining at his grand¬ 
mother’s, said :—“ God bless grandma, aunt 
Mary and uncle Louie — end the big turkey 
ice had at grandma's” 
Just Bo.—I l.’.miv, a little almost four- 
year old, remarked to his ma that he was as 
big as Walter, (a boy of 7 or 8 years,) hut 
the reason why* he did not catch the. ball 
(which W. was very expert at) was bemuse 
in dul not put his hands ic/tere the hall teas.

old undei’Stood it, that they had not seen s<* 
many birthdays as he had. F. was struck by 
the last remark, and, leaving the dogs, 
squared himself before the elderly gentle¬ 
man, and said : — “ Uncle John, when i was 
a little fellow 1 asked my mother to change 
my birthday ; but she couldn’t, you sec; for

bering the usual course of his out-grown 
clothing, he said, patronizingly, “ George, 
you may have the measles when I get done 
with them 1" Strange to say, George 
didn’t, seem to appreciate the gift.
