Godey's LalyS Ilx.k.
Dorothy Kent's Step-Father.
by e:vi:,ia churchman hewitt.
A group of echool-children stood
chattering at. the street corner, as
school-children will, hut underneath
it all, there seemed to run a thread
of gravity, Huch as is not usual in
such groups.
One of their number stood a little
apart, a hlrtroQt.lai, lialfsmorti
tied expression upon her f.ice. 1.
ery once in awhile, one of the others
would glance at, her iu a half-pitying
way.
ToMCiOriOW wou'd lit May ?blh,
and then Decoration Day would he
heie. LWotaiion Iay in Inigo was
a land day to the chiidien.
The town had been a very patri
otic' one, and, fr jtil dize, none had
eut to ihii fiout so many brave
soidieis.
So it happened that, among the
cbildieu there waa hardly one who
had not a personal intercut iu the
proceedings, and who could not lay
claim to aome particular ''grave," as
that of a near relative. For days
before the eventful time, the chiN
dren would discuss the proceedings,
and lay plans tor meeting andj,)er wary search, when, turuiug
marching m a body to the various
cemeteries, leeling themselves a ! UPU what she sought, about thirty
very large and importaut balfoflfeet aY- It was a neglected
tho eho". Besides the general jgrave, so overgrown with wild vines
decoration, iu which all took part,
each child made au effort to deco-
rate k-he.r own grave," as they were!
termed by the children.
But, a lew months before, there
had come mong them from an
eastern city, a pretty little fair-
haired .t-irl, about eight years of age.
!Tkbad rr" v'rber',attb:s
i'l.ildren. whom everybody learns to
iove. She had been at once taken
in as one of themselves, and frkated
and sledded and run and nutted
: with the beft of them tko;oagbiv

jnW'foud Siieuds. All had gone
i AH till tosday, when in discussing
itbe coming ceremonies, they had
remembered to lheir dismay, that
she bad no relatives buried in their
cemetery ; worse than this, she had
lost no relatives la the war. This
was a great shock to these jealous
little patriots, and they hardly knew
how tp recompile themselves to the
J lacts of the case. They had gen
erally concluded ihat she was not
to blame for the nnfoituuaie cireum1
stance, tiut while pity rilled their
heaits, of eom0e ohe could not join
them in their solemn procession.
Doro:hy Kent had never Lefore
known what a disgrace not
to h-ive lost so- :q one iu the war, let
hiu be as diftnutly related as pos
H'.b But uow she stood apait,
feeling that something was decided "t tht the child would say moie.

The liet day, iUay 30th, dawned nii.
f right aud beautiful such a day as "jMo I kuow 1 only made be-
vi-s bet-t suited to the solemn and lit-ve.' stammered pour Dorothy, in
beautiful mansion and all Inii?o
was astir. flow well it is that we
should feed our children's patriot-
ism by such pageantry 1 These little
ones aie out futute patriots the j
protectors of the honor of their :
country. What id IDee iu the dry

rouse the enthusiasm of growing
youth ? Why, one fourth of Ju'y
duo Peporatiou Daywith all its
ceremonies, preaches a better aud
more lasting S6rmou, and conveys
more practical information, than
does a whole school history in tnrj
volume?.
Well, all iuigo
as astir, and a
Iranng the earliest was little Dorothy
Kent, smpatieut for tho moment to
airive when the bands would begin
to play their solemn dirges and the
wagons would go arouod collecting
the iioweis.
She Lad had a talk with her moth -
er last night, and a uew idea had
como to Dorothy, so she, too, was
busy flitting from bush to plant,
gathering, not only for the general
dicoration, but a scetial bunch for
herself.
Haik! There it is! The music!
A moment more and tbe great wag-
on had come and gone, Dorothy's
eontributiou being carelully laid in
with the rest.
"Now, mamma, may I got''
Hardly pausing for a reply she
skipped out into the garden again,
aud taking her little boquet iu her
hand, started for the nearest ceme
tery. Beautiful indeed it looW-d, this
"city ot the dead,'' its Inhabitants
lying side by side, silently, mnVr
the shadow of the great npire.
Trees dotted it here and there, and
the quiet beauty impressed little
! Dorothy oidy with its perfect rt;.
pose. Even to a child there wan
nothing of awe m the perfect, scene.
She had come here because she
knew that, it waa the laat place to
bo visited, and :-.he felt that, fhe
niDst. be alone to carry out her plan.
It would have thrown her into an
agony of mortification to confide
her scheme even to J.er beloved
mother.
.-j lowly she wandered tound the
enclosure, beemiug to be ever seek
ing something she aid not fiud. She
did not seem to be attracted by
m numents or inscriptions, for she
passed them all by with iudiffereut
eye. Gradually her face assumed a
disappointed expression and she
seemed almost inclined to give up
her head to the letf, her glance fell
that oue could hardly recognize the
mound beneath. With a look of
solemn pleasure she hastened to the
spo', and softly uiurmuring "Here
be ks!'' she gently dropped the llow.
crs upon the mound, tenderly ar
ranging tbero until tbey eaited her
fasey- Then she sat herself down
and thought. Dorothy was given
to thinking, far beyond her years.
Who shall say what solemn message
was delivered to that baby soul as
she sat there in self communion ! A
!)ghi step aroused her slightly, but
so deep iu reverie was she that the
stranger seemed a part of her wak
ing dream. He paused, this tall
bearded stranger, and gazed curi
ously at the demure little figuie
watching the negTected mouad. An
irre&istable impulse led him to ad
dress her.
"I am a stranger in this town, lit
tle one, can you tell me the name o.l
this church V
"St. Peter's sir," answeted the
child unhesitatingly.
The conversation thus opened, be
adroitly led her on to talk of herself-,
aud finally began to question her I
about the mound belOij them.
"What is the name cf this per
son
"I dou't know, aaawered Doro
thy, in a hesitating way.
"It doesn't seem to be a soldier's
grave," he observed, cailessly, hop
Uu Hfronv of confession.
Whatever his thoughts might
have been, this giavefaced. man
kept a perfectly unmc.ved exterior,
"Do you ever luake believe V he
excUiwed. ''How charming that
is I Do you know wnen I wa a
little boy I uaed to make believe so
jniuoh. 1 enjoyed it more thau an
thing else.''
"Oh, did you I' exclaimed Doro
thy delighted, borne out of herself
in a moment; "then yo.tV'Jl under

"But I told
mamma about it last
i night, and she $ays zay stepfather
j was killed in the war, t-o I made
; believe that ihat was him; I didn't
i believe he belonged to anyone,
j 'cause nobody seems to tafee care ot
jbim."
I The idea of a child seeking out
lu unknown grave, ana aecoratiog
lit without any idea of tbe sex of i
I occupant, iu honor of a step ather
wbo was killsd in lbs war, struck
this man as a most original proceed-
(iag, and his gravity almost gave
way.
Then a thought occurred to himt
and he said, "But, my child, you are
too young for your step father to
have been in the war. You must
have misunderstood your mother V
"Well, she didn't just aay that
answered Dorothy, the truthful
"She said he waa her Rtcp-husband
no, not that," Dorothy was grow
ing helplcHS.
44 Wait ! let me see it i can help
yon.'' A "step-husband'' was a
new relationship which was worth
investigating. "Start again !"
''Well, oii (ice iuij tather was my
brother Bertie's step.fathet now
wouldn't Bertie's father be uj step
father?' She paused, with her
head tinned moi one side like a
biid . lie r exuectaat eves l.ii.ved tit
hiM. Receiving no immediate re
ply, she continued, "and if ray fath
er was her husbuud (and I know he
was because he's ouiy been dead
two or three years, aud I've often
heard her call him so), now, would
Bertie's father be her atep-hua
band f"
The whole course of reasoning
was certainly uuique, aud had been
carried out with much ingenuity.
Little Dorothy had evidently taken
much satisfaction in her close rela
tionship to her mother's "stepihus
bind," and it seemed a pity to dis
turb her peace of mind. It was au
innocent delusion let her have it !
"Bat what is your name?" he
asked, suddenly, to change the subject-
'Dorothy Kent.''
A pang shot through the strau
ger'c heait. A few year.- ago Dor
othy Wells had been all iu all to
him, but now
"Aud what your brother's
name ? '
"Heibert Donaldson. But he's a
great big boy j mamma says he was
named for On, what is the matter,
air ! Oh, you frighten me I I want
to go home !''
4 Come, then ! we ll go together.
Quick ! Where do jou live, child ?
Come ! coue! crine!-' Obeying the
commanding voice, Dorothy was
s on trotting rapidly by his side,
trying in vain to ke&p up with his
long strides.
A short walk biought them to the
house, and Dorothy had politely de
posited her strange visitor in the
parloi, while she went to call mam
ma.
"Oh, mamma, mamma !'' she ex
claimed, entering her mother's
room, "there's the queerest man
downstairs. 1 found htm in tbe
grave-yard ."
"Alereyj ciiiid I iound a man in
the grave-yard."
"Ye;'m, and he'n dowu iu the par
lor. He"
"You brought him home ? Good"
nesschild ! I must go right down
and look after biui,'
"That's what he wants,7' called
Dorothy at the top of her voice, lor
by this time her mother was at the
foot of the staiis Dorothy fallowed
as rapidly as her stoq l2gs would
carry her, for cariosity, that great
factor in nin&n events, w&s urging
her uu ward. She reached the door
iu timo to hear her mother give a
short, smothered cry, and entered
to ee h-r fall back into the arms
of the stranger, in a dead faint. Top
frightened to move, the child stood j
rooted to the spot, while i3e man
whom she had brought home seem
ed to be trying o force some horrid
stuff out oi a bottle down ber
throat.
"Let my mother alone !' she cried,
at last finding her voice. "Eoea!
Bridget! Bertie ! Came quick, oh,
come quick !" she s?roamed, running
to the door. At this moment ber
mother opened bee eyes and looked
aiound in a dazed kind of way.
Then her eyes fell upon Dorothy's
"man" and she smiled.
Poor Dorothy ! this she bad not
expected, aud she sat down to awai,t
results.
"Dorothy, little girl ! vpme here
dear !'' called her. mother, sottly
''Sweet uea.rr,'" she went oo, "you
nave done a wonderful thing f-!day
without knowing it- xou have
brought back from the grave one
who has beer, lost to me for many
yeais. Can yon guess who this

"Is it is it--" summerek Doro
thy ';your S(Vjthusband !''
Mrs. Kent looked at the stranger
in perplexity a moment, but he, bet
ing in the secret, nodded with a
j smile.
"What does the child mean. Her
bertt" asked she.
"I II tell yon don't distnrb her
peace of mind," he replied, in an
undertone.
"bee, Dorothy, this is Bertie's

He thought 1 was dead and I
thought he was dead, and lie ilidn'i

Nearly all the disagreeable habits
which people take up comes at first
from mere accident of want of
thought says a tboughiful writer.
They might easily be dropped, but
they are persisted m until they be'
comes a second nature. There are
d:sigteeable habits of body, like
mowliug, winking, twisting the
fi ouio,r;iting the nails, contiuually
p ckiDg at some'hing, twirling a
key or fumbling at a chain, drum-
u ing with the fiogutes, crewiug
or twisting a chair, or whatever you r
Uj your bands on. Don't do any
ol these things. There are much
w orse things than these, to be sure;
but. wo are only speaking of these
li!.tl thiugs that are only annoy-
icg when they are persisted iu.
Then there are habits of speech with
": oo see," or "yon know,'' ,:uoiv a,-'
"jinda' "see here' "let me tel
you,'' indistinct ntteraice, &bap,
nnsal tones : avoid them all. Stop
and think what you are going to
say and then let every word drop
from your !ips ju?t as perfect gas a
new silver eio. Before you know
it, you will find that your habits
huve burdened luto a coat of mail
that you cannot, get rid of without
a terrible effort. 11c.

Caring For Children.
Secretary Hoke Smith,s address
at A-bury Park on Sunday regard
the care of children was one which
ought to De well considered by a
larger audience than could listeu to
it. He did not confine himself to
an attempt, to excite sympathy ami
help for the unfortunate) children Of
the poor in our great cities, but
made a plea also in behalf of the
neglected children of those w ho are
prosperous and even rich.
The Secretary's stamemenf, that
"in the cities of our land tho men
iiio mi absorbed in business that
ihey iiike no tiino with their chll-
itren, anl lho women ate uome
times too much absoroed in Miens' y
to give the piopei time, To their
chil.ll en," is ipiilo tl tie.
Such rhiidieu have clothws enough
ami iood enough and redaction
enough and teachers euough. What
they cheitly lack is parental love
ami rare which Know ifaelf in help
ful cO'upauiouKLip aiid', jieieonal
sympathy. All e.idldren crave love,
inteteet and company. It they do
not get these from parents iu a sat
isfying degree they get ihein where
they can.
Thousands of children who live ii:
homes that tre comfoi table and
even elegant hve heaits starving
for lack of proper manifestation of
parental affection. The parems i:
such cases suffer as well as the chil
dren, but often, fail to discover their
error. They will be wioe to heed
the words of Dr. Smith when he
ays : "I call upon you to-day to
leave off pact of Uu time that you
give to tho accumulation of money
i n your children and devote it to!
thi? accumulation of love for year
CbiSdle.n."
This is the vacation season aud a
good time to begin doing better in
this let-peer, it is a :ime when very
many puents may greatly strength
th11' rations with their chih-
dten by cultivating interest io them
the kind ot in forest "hat is shown
not so much by spending money tor
tb-Mn and allowing mem to do as
they please, as iy becoming then
companions aud teacher-' in au in
