Little Grace Osborne was good child. She was
very kind. She would not pull pussy's fur,
when her mother told her it would hurt pussy
Grace was very backward about learning to speak
! When she three years old, she made sad work
talking. When she first butterfly, she asked
what it was; her mother told her; but Grace could
never remember TO speak il right. Sho always call
ed it a 6Wier.bird, suppose the reason was, that
she had bird hy, and she thought every thing
that had wings must be bird
She called caterpillar Piilar-tat One day she
saw one of these creatures weaving web all around
itself on a rose bush in the garden.
Grace ran to tell her mother, and 10 ask what il
meant Her mother told her that after tho cnerpil-
lar had covered itself all up with the web it would
die, and, by and by, beautiful butterfly would
come out Of the ball.
Grace knew this true, because her mother
said ii; but she thought it strange, and wished
that she could The butterfly out Her moth
Off the branch from the bush and hung it
up in the pnrlor. Every day Grace watched ii. She
began to think nothing would ever come out OF it,
But at the end Of few weeks, bright and beauti-
ful butterfly came forth. Its wings were brilliant
brown, edged with fiery scarlet. Grace delighted
She cInpped her hands, and called out, 'NICther!
Mother see what beautiful buter-bird has como
ont OF the pillar tat's neslr
Grace did offer touch the pretty ture; for
her mother told her that its wings covered with
very small feathers; and that when these feathers
were pulled out, it would hurt the butterfly very
much.
After they had looked at it a little while her moth
opened the window and let il fy into the garden.
AS Grace watched it, she exclaimed, 20, see / go!
see it go! 1t looks like tulip flying!
When Grace tired OF looking out the window,
she sat down the carpet, and tried to spell butter
6y, with her ivory letters. Her mother placed them
BUTTE RFLY. 'Does that spell butter-bird',
asked Grace 1T spells Jutier; fly replied her moth
er; 'and my little girl must remember and try to
speak it right Grace promised she would try, But
n little while after, she said, Mother what made the
pillar turn butter-brd?' God made the cat
erpiar change to butterfly, said her mother The
same God you told me my little baby-brOther lived
with?' asked Grace.
'Yes, he is the God, my child said the
mother. 'The caterpillar seemed to be dead; but
You see it was only changed into beautiful buttsr-
fly. Your little brother seemed to be dead land they
buried him in the ground; but God has made him a

THE FREED BIRD, Among the superstitionsl OF

already well known. When maiden dies. they
imprison young bird until it first begins to try its
powers Of song, and then, loading il with kisses and
carresses they loose its bonds her grave, in the
belief will not fold its wing, nor close its eye, until
it has flown to the spirit land, and delivered its prec
ious burden of affection to the oved and lost, 1t
is not unequont, says the Indian historian, "to see
twenty or thirty birds oosed Mt once one grave"
