"She Will Come"

A Little Thought for Mothers

A LADY went out one afternoon, leaving her little boy at his grandma's and saying she would call for him when she returned home, which she expected would be by six o'clock. The time passed till it was nearly six, and his grandma said perhaps his mother was not coming for him that night.

"Yes, she will," replied the boy.

Six o'clock came, and grandma said, "Well, I guess your mother will not come for you to-night."

"I know she will," said the boy confidently, and he watched patiently for her.

It was getting toward his bedtime, and grandma was pretty sure his mother would not come, and he would stay all night with her.

"Well, I know she will come," was still his confident reply.

"Why, what makes you so positive?" asked his grandmother.

"Because," said the boy, "she said if she was not here by six o'clock, she would certainly come, and MY MOTHER NEVER TOLD A LIE."

In a few minutes the mother came and took him home.

Mother, what would your child testify?
