had been pretty, I might have loved dress

my lessons nearly so hard as T did, or loved 
learning and excellence of character so 
much, and then I might never have gotten 
so handsome and smart and good a husband, 
or been the happy mother of such a family 
of hoys and girls. 
Now, my litt le red-heads and freckle-faces, 
while the pretty little girls are flirting with 
the hoys and jumping, do you study; study 
hard and patiently, control your tempers; 
for everybody says red-headed folk are quick

don't come out just as well in the end as 
any of your companions. I am old enough

RED HAIR: 
A Story for Rcd-IIendec! Little Girls, 
BY ANNA HEADER. 
When I was about eight years old, my 
mother called me to her one afternoon to 
see if I was hemming nicely a handkerchief 
she had turned down for me. After show¬ 
ing me just how to put in my needle, and 
exactly how the stitches must look to he 
right, she took my hand in hern and said, 
“ What it big hand you have!” 
Now, my mother’s hand was extremely 
small, and always looked white and delicate, 
no matter how much or what work she did, 
and I couldn’t help feeling that, somehow I 
was to blame for having such a big hand. 
Then my feet were large, loo, and I wore 
out shoes dreadfully. I never could walk, 
hut I wanted lo jump and run, and hop on 
first, one foot and then the other. 
But what was worse than either big hands 
or big feet, I had red hair and a freckled 
face. How should 1 ever get through the 
world with red hair? And wasn’t there 
something that would take away those 
dreadful freckles? I tried buttermilk, and 
wheat bran tea, and cucumber water; hut 
the obstinate freckles stayed there, and re¬ 
main till this day, and I don’t care a hit jf 
they do. 
Tlu; first tiling T thought of when I saw a 
new lil.tle girl was to notice if her hands

TATTOOING. 
Some sailors arc fond of imprinting upon 
Iheir hands and arms pictures of anchors, 
stars, and other figures, by a process called 
tattooing. The lines are made by scratch¬ 
ing the skin with a needle till (lie blood ap¬ 
pears, and then India ink is filled in. The 
murks are of a blue color, and can never he 
removed. 
This foolish custom may teach us a lesson 
in regard to the character of vice and sin. 
Evil thoughts and deeds leave iheir mark, 
Which time never wears mil, and which no 
tears of repentance can wash away. Take 
care of these stains; slum every occasion of 
them, if you would not always bear about 
with you the tokens of guilt and sorrow.
