receiving some presents which had been

lier of acceptance displayed an unusual
share of the gift of graciousness. The
other was evidently disappointed and her
tiiatiKs were cold ami lifeless.
When the two children left the room the
first ran out with joyous step, carrying
her trinkets ill lltilifteil bunds unit crcimr
out, "Oh, see what Aunt Mary has brought
me an the way from India the India

The other child carried her little box of
cost ly ornaments hanging by her side; her
step was slow, her countenance sullen, and
one could but expect the words that left
ner ups almost neiore the dixir bail closed
In-hind her. "I should think Aunt V.-in-
might have found something nicer than
