Here lazy brook would have stopped
to rest, but ours did ne such thing; he
went to work to Gil up the hollow SC
high that he could climb over the
wall, aud he did Gil it up, though it
took him a good many days.
But just as he was going over, a me-
chaniO said to him, "TIsro, step this
way, and turn my mill, if you, please, u
and the brook said, al cannot Sop to
turn your mill; | havosst out to 70

mill is right on your way, it won't hia-
der you at all" So as the brook was
obliging as well as resOlute, he put his
strong shoulder to the wheel, aud it
went merrily round, and the machinery
eInppcd it's hands aud threw a show
er of yellow dust into the water to
pay for the work lie bad done. As ne
aid net want tho dust at present he
laid it upon the bank for safe keeping,
and went on his way, very glad Of his
work and his pay. When he csmo to
a hill which he could not climb, he
just slipped quietly round it, aud weat
on seward as before.
By and by he came TO whers some
workmen were building aa embank-

an engine stood putting aud painting t.

brook; 81 should be sorry to break

he was in earnest, they hopsd him, as
people often dc, they built a nice arch
Of stone under the railway, which they
called cGlvert, aud they told him he
might go through it as freely as he
pleased. So thanking them for their
kindness, he went checrily onward
sometimes helping and sometimes
helped ,until he csmeto large river that

"Where are you going, my bonay

across the Plains. However, when they
consider the magnitude of the journey,
and the difficulties which naturally at
tend such an expedition, they may rea-
dily suppose that the "bOys" have had
but little opportunity to correspond with
their anxious fricndS at home. Perhaps

A PRETTY AND Instructive ALLIE
CORY.
There was oHco little brook that
was born in a green pasture undor big
walnut tree. While he was very small
he slept in bed Of moss, and played
all day at bo-peop with violets and cow
slips. But as he grew larger and
stronger, he began to feel the instinct
of progress, like everything else that is
really alive, and by and by great am
bition awoke in his heart He louged,
as many little boy has done, TO go to
sea. But the sea lay hundreds of miles
away, and there were masy obstacles
between, and the little brook didn' +
know the way. "Never mind, there is
nothing like trying" sold the brook,
and so one spring he saved up all he
could get from tho rain and dew,
and all that farmer Acres gave him for
draining his meadow, and kiasinG good
bye to his playmatos, the flowers, he
started briskly on his journey,
There was only one opening out of
the valley, and that he took, although
it was rough and muddy, and not half
as pleasant as the clean moss under the
shade of the tree. But his heart was
Zig with hope, and he went singing on
his way, only stopping now and then to
water the farmers cattle. or to play
hide. and-seek with the speckled trout
After while another brook, younger
aud prettier than he, came playfulIy
near, dancing over the shining pebbles
and hiding under the wild roses tha
grew on the banks. And the big
brook-he was big now-said, "Let III
take hold of hands and e. on together
And they did SO, and the brooks be
came one. Then the heart o
the brook was twice as largo as be
fore, and be went on his way with 1
shout, and when he saw woodman a
loss how he could get q heavy los
to mill, he took it on his shoulder anC
went bravely on. Very soon he came

/ As we travelled up the valley OF the
Little Blue, we had several opportuni-
ties Of hunting buffalo, large herds of
