      LITTLE MOTHER.

      One day Kitty's mother called her little daughter to her, and taking both her dimpled dots of hands in her own soft white ones, said, Kitty, my darling, I am going to New York this morning, to see your dear grandma', and I shall have to leave the house in your charge until I come back. Do you think you can be my little housekeeper for to-day?

      Oh yes, mamma! I should like that so much! I will keep house as well as you—that is, 'most, not quite! and Kitty jumped up and down for joy at being trusted with such important affairs.

      You must take care of dear little Luly and Walter, you know; see that they have their dinners fixed right, and go out walking with them and nurse; and if any company comes, you must go down and see them, and say that mamma has gone to New York, will you?

      Yes, mamma; I will be just as good as pie! said Kitty, earnestly; Luly and Wawa will like to have me for a mother, I guess.

      Yes; you are their Little Mother for to-day, said her mamma. I know you love me, Kitty, and want to save me all the trouble you can; it will be a great comfort to me, while I am away, to feel that I can trust you perfectly; and she kissed the little, rosy cheek, I'm sure I can't tell how many times, and Kitty felt so proud and happy that she only wished she had been trusted with a much larger family of little brothers and sisters, instead of two; that she might show the more what an excellent Little Mother she intended to be. You would wish so too, wouldn't you! yes, of course!

      Kitty May lived with her papa and mamma, Luly and Walter, Mary the nurse, and Betty the cook, three brown horses, two red cows, a black dog, and a white kitten, at a beautiful country seat up the Hudson River. She was only eight years old, but her obedience to her parents, and tender, loving care of her little brother and sister, were beautiful to see, and a shining example to some little girls I know. On the day that I am telling you about, her papa had gone to town, as usual, early in the morning, and now here was mamma going too, and Kitty would be left to play lady of the house as grand as anything.

      Well, the carriage was brought to the door, and mamma got in, after kissing her little family all round about twenty times. Everybody rushed to the front piazza to bid her good-by in their own fashion. Trip, the black dog, jumped and barked around the horses, until they nearly kicked him, when he sprang away, snapping out, No, you don't! no, you don't! Dody, the white kitten, so called by Walter for Daisy, mewed as hard as she could from Luly's arms. Walter crowed and chuckled, and said, Boo-bi! meaning good-by; Luly lisped, "Dood-by, dear mamma, div my yove to gan'ma; and Kitty said, Good-by, mamma; I'll be a famous Little Mother—see if I'm not!" And so the carriage drove away.

      When it was quite out of sight, the little girls skipped and climbed, and wee Walter was carried by nurse up stairs into the nursery; and Kitty said, "Now, Mary, you can just go on with your sewing; you needn't mind us a bit. I'm going to take care of the children; mamma said so."

      Very well, Miss Kitty, said Mary; "I'll sit in the window here,
