Just then Tony finished his supper, and Mrs. Weston sent him out to feed the hens. "I have brought you a present, Mrs. Weston," continued Frank; "I hope you will accept it." "Indeed, Master Frank, you are always very good to me; and your father and mother too," replied the widow. JUST THEN TONY FINISHED HIS SUPPER AND MISSUS WESTON SENT HIM OUT TO FEED THE HENS I HAVE BROUGHT YOU A PRESENT MISSUS WESTON CONTINUED FRANK I HOPE YOU WILL ACCEPT IT INDEED MASTER FRANK YOU ARE ALWAYS VERY GOOD TO ME AND YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER TOO REPLIED THE WIDOW
ntentment made them happy,--prepared their hearts to enjoy the blessings of plenty, if God in his wisdom should ever bestow it upon them. The boys found the family at supper, and Frank could not but contrast his evening meal with that of the poor widow's family. He had just partaken of the choicest fruits, nice cake, hot waffles and muffins, set before him; the Westons had only brown bread and very white butter. He had used silver dishes and silver forks; they ate their coarse fare from a few half-broken plates. His father was rich, and they were very poor. "You are welcome, Master Frank; I am glad to see you, and Master Charles too," said Mrs. Weston, rising from the table and handing them chairs. "I hope your father and mother are well." "Very well, I thank you, ma'am," replied Frank. "I have called to see you about something, and I want to see you alone," added he in a low tone; for he did not wish Tony, who was a great deal prouder than his mother, to know the nature of his errand. BITTER AS MANY OTHERS DEEMED IT AND CONTENTMENT MADE THEM HAPPY PREPARED THEIR HEARTS TO ENJOY THE BLESSINGS OF PLENTY IF GOD IN HIS WISDOM SHOULD EVER BESTOW IT UPON THEM THE BOYS FOUND THE FAMILY AT SUPPER AND FRANK COULD NOT BUT CONTRAST HIS EVENING MEAL WITH THAT OF THE POOR WIDOW'S FAMILY HE HAD JUST PARTAKEN OF THE CHOICEST FRUITS NICE CAKE HOT WAFFLES AND MUFFINS SET BEFORE HIM THE WESTONS HAD ONLY BROWN BREAD AND VERY WHITE BUTTER HE HAD USED SILVER DISHES AND SILVER FORKS THEY ATE THEIR COARSE FARE FROM A FEW HALF BROKEN PLATES HIS FATHER WAS RICH AND THEY WERE VERY POOR YOU ARE WELCOME MASTER FRANK I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU AND MASTER CHARLES TOO SAID MISSUS WESTON RISING FROM THE TABLE AND HANDING THEM CHAIRS I HOPE YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER ARE WELL VERY WELL I THANK YOU MA'AM REPLIED FRANK I HAVE CALLED TO SEE YOU ABOUT SOMETHING AND I WANT TO SEE YOU ALONE ADDED HE IN A LOW TONE FOR HE DID NOT WISH TONY WHO WAS A GREAT DEAL PROUDER THAN HIS MOTHER TO KNOW THE NATURE OF HIS ERRAND
