Here Mrs. Johnson paused si if to give

Tha L ird has beeo good enough to give

She is s woman of great decision ol char

about tbe children. She never allows
them to question what she says, and you

The next morulug I nude e short can

found that the Iwoiyesnold biby bad fol

were borel Kan out to brother. No, me

tnswer. Brother will play school wnu

The babv letreated slowly, till the reach

No, burst from tbe baby.
Ob, yes, smiled mimma. Brother it all

Tbe baby stood fe uiooieot louger, linger

not till then, did tbe mother give me ber

When ''implicit obedience waa brought

Now I say to myself, "Be ss nearly right

to bring up a child, and 'eternal vigilance'
is Us price.
