“ Why mother, how bright and cheerful 
you look to-night! What has happened ?” 
“ I feel very happy, my dear, because my 
little boy has tried to be good all day. Once, 
when his sister Katie teased him, and he 
spoke quick and cross to her, he turned 
round a moment alter, of his own accord, 
and said he was wrong, and asked her to 
forgive him. 1 believe I should grow j'oung 
and never look tired or unhappy again if, 
every day, my little boy and girl were as 
thoughtful, unselfish and loving as they have 
been to-day.” 
Here’s a grand secret for you, little one. 
And now that you know how to make 
mother happy, may you keep her face al¬ 
ways full of sunshine.

The Peanut Venders. 
There is a great deal of business done on 
the sidewalks in New York City. At nearly 
every corner you will see a huckster’s stand, 
where candy, cakes, oysters, oranges, books, 
birds, papers, pies, or peanuts are sold. The 
peanut venders are perhaps most numerous 
of all the sidewalk-business people, unless it 
be the paper dealers. Peanut stands can be 
counted by the score in the vicinity of City 
Hall square. Often a man and a woman at* 
tend one stand, as our artist lias represented. 
The man is generally a cripple,—cither lie 
lias lost an arm or a leg, and can support 
himself and family hi no other way. The 
woman stays with him not so much because 
the sales demand her services also, as to help 
him to and fro, and keep him company 
through the long da vs.

NO SECOND-CLASS WORK. 
Very dreary the days often arc; very cold 
and disagreeable. Yet save in the severest 
storms the peanut venders are at their posts. 
They seem very patient. From early morn¬ 
ing until nightfall they remain there, hardly 
stirring from the little space which they are 
permitted to occupy. The stand shown in 
our engraving is not so extensive as many of 
them are, and more resembles those devoted 
to a mixed trade made up of chestnuts, 
hickory nuts, etc., as well as peanuts. Most 
of the exclusive peanut dealers have a goodly 
sized table, divided Into two portions, one 
for the raw and the other for the baked nuts, 
with a sheet-iron arrangement in one end in 
which a spirit lamp or some charcoal is kept 
burning under a cylinder turned by a crank, 
wherein the nutk are baked, and the whole 
placed on wheels. The cylinder is kept 
turning to bake them alike on all sides. 
^ ou would think it impossible for so many 
persons to make a living selling these nuts. 
The trade never appears lively, yet some of 
the peanut venders acquire considerable 
property. They have their regular custom-
