THE BRAVE BoY.-Two boys Of my acquain.
lance were one day on their way from school,
and as they we're passing a corn.6eld in which
there were some pum-trees full Of ripe fruit,
Henry said to Thomas:
"Lct US jump over and get some plums-
Nobody will see US, and We can scud along
through the corn and come out on the other
side
Thomas said "I'n afraid I do not like to
Try it. Iwouid rather not have the plums than
steal them, and guess will run along home "
"You arc a coward" said Henry, Il always
knew you were a coward, and if you don't want
any plums you may 90 without them, but shall
have some very quick"
Just Henry climbing the fence, the
owner of the field rose from the other side of
the wall and Henry jumped back and ran off as
fast as his legs would carry him.
Thomas had no reason to be afraid. So he
stood still, aud the owner Of the field who had
heard the conversation between the boys, told
him he was glad to see that he was not willing
to be thief; and then asked Thomas to step
over and help himself to many plums he
wished. The boy pleased with the invita-
ton, and was not slow in filling his pockets with
the ripe fruit.
Which of these boys Was BRAvE-the one
who called the other coward, but ran away
himself, or the who said he was afraid to
steal, and stood his ground

There are thirty green houses, each from fifty

contain nothing but melons and cucumbers.
One peach tree on the glass wall measures fifty
one feet in width, fifteen feet in height, and
bears Que thousand and sixty peaches 1t is
