Il which was nee0Iul 10 Lne very llIe OI my
being; yet he has led me on in this wise
| from one degree of happiness and honor to !
lanother. Each time when | thought within
| myself, no, indeed, the song is Ger, then
did it speedily rise to higher and better
strain. Now | shall doubtless go on my
travels, and be sent throughout the world,
that all men may become acquainted with
my contents This seems most likely; how,
indeed, could it be otherwise, seeing that
have now so many precious thoughts 10 i'm
part even as many as were the little blue
flowers which / bore in my earlier days7
Ali am SO happy-the very happiest of
beingsl"
But the paper was not destined to set out
on It's travels, for it was sent to the printing
press; and there all its writings was printed
| in a book, or rather in many hundred books,
| 30 that an infinitely larger share of knowl-
edge and amusement resulted from its circu-
Iation than if the written paper had been
sent travelling round the world, when it
would have been worn out before half its
Tourney was accomplished. 'i= G1iy --
"Well, this is truly most sensible ar
4 rangement," thought the written paper;
'neyer could such an idea have entered my
imagination Now am i left at home,i and
honored aim ost like an aged grandfather,
which, in fact, | am, of all those new books,
land they will do SO much more good in the
world; therefore was it that could not be
permitted to set out on my travels -1'have,
indeed, been kindly cared for by him who
wrote the whole; and every word which
flowed out of his pen has entered into my
Substance and becomeipart of my very self
am truly the very happiest of beings"
Then was the paper gathered in bundle
land thrown into barrel which stood in the
wash house. ' J." - anl - -'1i
"After the completion of work it is good
Ito repose awhile,"l said the paper; sit is well
g to collect ones thoughts now and then, and
to mediate on that which dwells within.
For the first time in my life now begin TO
understand Alright what was intended for
and to know ones self is the truest progress
What may be about to befafl me now / can
S not tell, but hither each change has been an
onward step. Onward, ever onward, is my
destiny. This have learned by past ex-
perience. es''i i'i'- I"
And SO it happened one day that the whole
bundle of paper was taken out of the barrel
land laid uponsthe hearth, in order that it
might be burned there; for twas thought a
pity to sell it TO the huckster for the pur-
lpose of wrapping up sugar and butter in its
Leaves. All the Children in the house stood
round about, because they wished to see the
9 paper burning. 1t flames up magnifcently
and afterwards were seen countless red
sparks darting hither and thither, and one
after the other going out SO swiftly-so
swiftly. Then cried out, one of the little
ones. "Come and see the children out o

master. 1t often seemed as if the last one
I was extinguiehed, but instantly another spark

.sThere goes the schoolmaster again. Yes
. they were quite we'll acquainted with himi
they only wished to know whittier he vent
We shall come to know it, but they knew il
not. All the old paper, the whole bundle
was laid upon the fire, and quickly did il
kindle. "Uh, uhl" said the burning paper
$ and hickered up into clear bright flames.
Uh, Iihl 1t was by no means pleasant thus
to consume away; but when the whole mass
was lighted into one vast glowing flame, ii
rose up so high into the air, higher far than the
? tiny blue flower ever could have aspired to
q do and sbone as the fine white linen never
e could have pretended to do in its most glossy
o days. All the written letters became of q
!, scarlet hue, and the words andthoughts rose
d | upward amid the flames Now am as
e cending toward the sun itselfl' So thought
II the burning paper; and it seemed as though
e the words were repeated by a thousand
d voices in union, while the roaring flame
9 rushed through the chimney and scared up
s ward into the blue vault of heaven; and
J more beautiful than the flame, although in
= visible to human eyes, foated millions o
lairy atoms, countless as had been once the
e blue fax flowers in the field. They wert
u far lighter than the flame which had giver
Z birth; and as this became extinct, and moth
;, ing remained of the white paper save the
t1duil, black ashes,. then these fiery atoml
~idanced fairy like above them; and where
lever they rested a moment, there d d th,
red sparks CLEAN out brightly again. anC
:. then was the cry repeated, 'Here are thu
. childrenouto of school, aud there is the school
n master, last of allI'' That was fun indeed
n and the children sang beside the dark, deat
!. ashes the old-fashioned rhyme:
"Schnippe- e-schnapp-schnerre
II Bass lerTe, sfhaT5'
e The song is o'er."
But the little, airy, invisible beings spok
IL in another strain, saying, "The song is b,
e no means o'er; its sweetest part but just te
gins"
J. 81 know it, and am, therefore, still th
n happiest of beings"
e The children, however, could neither hea
nor understand that; neither was it to be ex
d pected of them, for children are not intende
