THE WHITE BOWL.
A STORY FOR CRY-BABIES.
Little Ned's brother Tom called him a cry-baby, because his eyes were always full of tears. His mother said that Ned had little buckets just back of his eyes that were always in a hurry to tip over if he hurt his toe or his finger, or did not have everything to suit him.

"Now, Ned," she said, "cry real hard. I want to get the bowl full to-day if I can, so that I may buy the little fish to-morrow morning when I go to market."
Ann came into the room with a big white bowl. When he cried he must put tears into that bowl.
But Ned could not cry any more. The tears would not come. Ann said she would have to wait until the next time Ned cried. So she put the bowl on a table near by, that it might ready for the tears as soon as they started again.
