KATIE’S BLESSING.
Katie !iad nevor been in the habit ot
eating, or f.f seeing the family partake
of iboll--At the table—till after a bless
ing iiad been asked upon it. One day
Iior papa was absent from the ovouiiig
meal; a number had gathered around
the table, and among the rest was
Katie seated in her little high chair.
Close boBide her sat a dear edd friend,
a man who had passed the alloted age
of hur'an lile, but who wf.s still liv
ing without a hope of eterna.1 life.
After all were seated, there was a
mouiant’e liush, as U we waited tor
something, and then one aud another
.began to make preparation to eat,
when Katie, who sasv the movement
with a. ]>orpk.xed and serious face,
cried out: “ 's yOf/ip to pr.-.vy P

‘Really, Sirs. Hope,’ exclaimed .a
maiden friend to the wife of a journoy-
man, 'I can’t make you out at all.
Ever since I’ve come into the house
you’ve smild. and laughed, and bustlr
about, AS though some old stingy re»
ative had died and left you a lot
money. Is it so V’
‘No Alice, isn't; but I‘m in
spirits for all that’—and the happ
wife Bmiled again.
‘Then what's put you in such f
enviable hnmer?’
Well, I don't think I ought to t>-
you. So far, it's a secret.’
This rebuff only increased Alice
Paine's desire to be culighteuecl, so
she persevered till her friend Mrs.
Hope, promised to satisfy her curiosity.
‘'rile olhor day’ began the wife, ‘J
had to take John's dinner to the office;
and you know it‘8 oneof those queer
old bnildiugH, with a good many ins
and outs about it.’
'Y'’e8, yes, I know all t!iat,'Mrs. Hope’
said Alice, impatiently; ‘but do be
quick and tell 1110 the vest.’
‘And iiiiite by accident, I overheard
my liusband make a confession to one
ol'the workingmen:
