W, KiRTON. . : , ^ It was about three o'clock on a scorch- ing hot Saturday afternoon in July, when John Lewis the carpenter laid down his hammer, and putting his hand in his pocket drew out a few coppers, *Just the price of a pint,' as he said to himself, and he resolved thereupon to step across to the * Golden Eagle,' and have some ale to allay his thirst. Just as he open- ed the door which led to the *Bar,' what should he see on the polished counter but a plate of beautiful ripe cherries, the sight of which made John's mouth water so freely thJit, ere he knew exactr 4 " ^ i BUV VOUft OWN CiiERRlEg. ly what he was doing, his hand was stretched out to take a few, when the shrill Toice of the landlady from behind called out, * You touch them if vou dare, sir !* John was startled, but before he could reply, the landlady addefd, * The idea of your taking such liberty I I should like to know what you are think-* ing about?' *• Well, missus, I was only going to take dne or two to wet ny whistle.' * You had better not try it on,' she said with warmth. * "Why you won't mind my having a few. I was so thirsty, and they look so tempting,' said John, thinking she was joking. *No, sir, not one, I have just bought them as a treat for my children ; they are BtJY tOVfU OWN CHDllfelES. a peculiar sort and very expensive.' * Well, just let me try one.* *No/ she' answered, with determina- tion in every look, * not one, if you want any, " buy your own cherries !" ' * Well,' replied John, ^ I was going to hare a piiit of jrour best, (?) but I think m take your advice, and go and buy some cherries instead,' and turning round, he walked out of the shop. The landlady saw in a moment thai she had committed a mistake, and called loudly for John to come back, but this only made him quicken his steps and get away as fast as possible. * Well, I've done it,' she said, as taking up her plate of cherries, she passed into the bar parlour ; * what a stupid I was not to let him have one or two; he is too' good a custoiner to^ lotee.

Of course, with this additional piece of news, was it any wonder that their eyes were not much troubled with sleepiness, and that long before the time for getting up had arrived, Tommy was showing them, by aid of the pillows how big the loaves were, and how mother would make the pudding, and then they wished for the time to arrive when they might be able to experience in reality that the * proof pf the pudding is in the eatmg. .j,^.i j5c^3,:;i^,*i,i^. • .

And when in the afternoon, while all were seated around the table, mother brought out a plate of nice rosy ripe cherries, was it any wonder that when the children set up such a shout of joy, that Mary's heart was too full to contain its emotion ? and while the children were making earrings of the cherries, she drew close to John, and kissing him quietly, the tears trickling down her cheeks the meanwhile she whispered in his ear, ^ we may be happy yet/ 'l^;^^-:';'i^P^' And so it was, for in a short time John found that he could buy clothes for his children, and then for himself and wife ; and somehow it began to be whispered that he was getting proud, for he moved iiito a better neighbourhood wh^re he only bad to pay about the same rent }' n< tc S h t t "*, '- BUY YOUR OWN CHERRIES. 31 i» ■ *..* 'JW nevertheless. And soon after he began to put by his savings in the Building Society, and this enabled him td build a house for himself.

And step by step he arose, until he became a master himself; and instead of working he had men to look after it and do it for him.
