good. Thus, through the Summer, re-
freshing both man and cattle by day, and
sheltering the birds in the night tune, we
pursue our mission joyfnlly; and when
the Autumn comes we are not sad. IT'S
true that we are stiff and old now with
out strength to do much but our shade
Is 10 longer needed and, when; thinking
|of the useful lives we lead in the Spring
and Summer time, we grow bright with
Joy. Surely these autumn hues seem not
like shades Of sadness nor do we even
sorrow when thinking that the wind 5
next breath may watt us to the ground, !:
for we know that even then our mission
will not be ended but, sinking into the
earth, we shall nourish tender shoots and
fair young flowers, till they gladden. new
Spring time with fresh beauty. -.
F. such is our mission, little maiden
Learn from the Fall leaf to do good in
| this, your life's Spring.time then you
need never dread its Autumn, for it will
be even brighter than ours and, when
death at last removes you far from sight,
many weak and wavering little ones win
be supported and strengthened, by your
good example, to gladden. the world
through all the seasons Of their lifetime" !"
Just then the wind, scizing the red
leaf, waited it to the ground !; and Annie,
starting forward to lift it, was greeted by
a merry laugh, and her brothsr's voice ex-
claimed:
"Well, little sister, what have you 81. been
dreaming about? None of us knew what
had become Of you; and, after hunting
and shouting all through the woods, l
found yon, at last, fast asleep. . '' 80 ~

boy but don't trouble yourself to carry
that one home for I can find you any
quantity of prettier leaves close by the
house." m
Annie smiled, but did not tell the rea.
son why she held that particular leaf SC
very carefully; and, on her return, a lit
tie flame was made for it, SO that it might
hang always in sight; for from the .Au'
tumn leaf Annie learned a lesson Of use.
falness and happiness which was never
forgotten. 2. ''3'"'iai'''' f'"ts'''' @'
