called out to ne:

Indeed, said he, how did you know he

You did; and we're your eyes on your

The AuIs-Fsr he Little Opes.

In March, as soon as the days get warm,
We may see tho ants at work. It is so
strange to watch them! Each has his
own place each hos his own work.
Here you may see some Of the ants
cutting the ground for road, and there
come Of them bringing food but it is
uot true that they hoard up grain for use
in winter. They pass the cold days in q
torpid state.
As looked At them the last warm
day, would now and then see on ant try
to drag grain that was too big for him.
Then four or Eve ants would come to help
him, and share the load. "Ah ! they are
odd in their ways, those ants" said an old
man who stood BY. "They will not let
a dead ant be near them"
"What do they do then with tho dead
ants ?" saidI.
"Come with me-" he said, land I will
show you." So he took. me up the side
Of quite steep place; and there, cut in
the side Of the hill, near the top, was .
deep trench, aud in this trench lay more
dead ants than I could count.
"Wait awhile" said the old man, land
maybe you will sec the ants bring some
Of the dead"
Well, I did wait; and by and BY l saw
some ants come slow-oh, so slow !-and
on the backs Of two or three ants there
was dead ant, and it was hard work to
drag their load up hill.
But by and by they got to tho top,
and then they gave the dead ant . shove.
and it fell into the tr.nch with the rest
Of the dead /; and, as soon as they saw it
was safe, of they ran, and they ran down
the hill, oh, so fast las fast as their wee
legs could move.-The Nursery.

Tho Soldier and The Thistle.

Little Jeanie, in her eagerness after
flowers, had wounded her hand on sharp,
prickly thistle. This made her cry with
pain at first, aud pout with vexation
aftcrward.
II do wish there was no such thing a.
thistle in the world" she said pettishly.
"And yet the Scottish nation think SO
much Of it they engravc it on the M.
tional arms," said her mother.
ut is the last flower that should pick
out. I am sure they might have found
. great many nicer ones, even among the
Weeds" said Joanie.
"But the thistle did them such good
service once," said her mother, "they
learned to esteem it very. highly. One
time the Danes Invaded Scotland, and
they prepared to make night attack on
q sleeping garrison. So they crept along,
bare footed, as still as possible, until
they were almost up to the spot. Just
at that moment q bare footed soldier
stepped on great thistle, and the hurt
made him utter sharp, shrill cry Of pain.
That sound awoke the sleepers, and each
man sprang to his arms. They fought
with great bravery, and the invaders were
driven back with much loss. So, you
see, the thistle saved Scotland, and evel
since it has been placed on their seal q.
their national flower"

thoughtfully.

things as great, to accomplish his pur
