The Idle Children.

There was once three children, who instead
of going TO school, as they should have done.
stood lettering about, grumbling that learning
was such a stupid thing.
" Let's set off to the wood, and play with
the little animals there-they never 60 10
school"
When they came to the wood, they asked
the little animals, great and small TO play
with them.
I'VE are very sorry, but really we've Just
now no time, replied the animals.
The beetle hummed: " That would be fine
If We were TO be idle with you children; must
build fresh bridge Of grass; the old one is
not safe"
The children crept soft past the ant-hiII.
and as for the bee, they ran away from her
just as though she had been a venomous
beast.
The little mouse cried in shrill little voice.
" IN gathering up corn and seeds for the win
ter"
"And L" said the little white dove, IAN
carrying dry sticks for my nest"
The hare only nodded to them, can't

The little strawberry blossom said, Il must
make use of this fine day, and ripen my fruit
that it may be ready when the old beggsr man
comes to look for it,
Then came the young cock, strutting through
the wood. Dear monsieur Chsnticleer, you
surely have nothing to do; you can come and
play awhile with u.s.
8 Pardon" cried he with great gravity,
- Fe noble guests at my house to-day, ana
have 10 set out feast for them" and bowing
very stifiy away he went.
Then the children accosted the little stream
that was running along so merrily.
Do, dear little stream, come and play with
But the stream asked, quite astouished
:. What do you mean, children Yes, indeed

and yet you ask me TO play with you 1 can't

and much beside. stop and play with idle
children, indeed :" And away the stream
flowed ss fast as ever it could
The children were growing quite disheart-
ened, and thought they must give an all hope
OF finding playfellows in the wood, when they
saw finch sitting upon a branch, singing and
eating by turns. They called out 70 him their
invitation.

Gus folks in the wood
Thus taught by the animals, the children
turned back to snhool very willing gly. finding
that play is alone the reward Of industry and
