DORA'S DREAM

The dr's Of May did not always com,
With warmth and bloom 10 the land wher,
Dora lived. A chilly ssst wiod would
.ffsu blow on May Day; and, even IL
there had been flowers 10 rho Geld, I,
would have boon too Gold Tor little uirl
to 70 to pluck them.
hut Dora loved to think Of poipp
sMsyiog and once, when she lay IN in
bed on the last night Of April, she had o
dream. She called her mother TO the
bedside, and said,-
NJ mother such queer time as had
IN my sleep last night. l dreamed il was
the 6rst Of May, and that 1 went ou. in
ehe helds before breakfast In search of
nowers; for wanted to give you all .
sweet surprise. ''s
II climbed over the fence beyond the
hve acre lot, and ran down the hill and
oh such heaps Of flowers as I saw
roses. lilies, daisies, pinks, violeh and
harebells. and how many moro can,
tell you. there were such heaps of them
~After l had gathered as many as Il
could carry, and just as turued to 20
home, | saw Jane Burton coming down
tho bill; and I said to her. Jane, these
flowers are mine, and you must not touch
ono Of them : for l did not like it that
she should carry home As many az 1.
"Bas had no sooner spoken the words
than oil the flowers turned to weeds; and
then beautiful fairy came, aud said to
me. The flowers all spraDg from the state
Of your own mind, You we're at first
good and kind, and so you saw heaps Of
lovely flowers; but, as soon as you grew
snvious and stiugy. they all turned to
Weeds
"Now. was not that q queer dream,
namma?" asked Dora.

Cousin Ethel. "Remember, Fred, there

Butwhen l was as young as she is now,

Alfred, one of the early kings Of England, i,
sontrived to measure time. He divided
candles into regular portions by painted
rings. Afterwards, rude kind of Ian

Lived upon nothing but lucifcr matches;
So the world, it made her strnngle and cough
Aud sure rs you rubbed her.yon set hor.oh.

Who lived upon sugar and everything sweet
Declared, when she heard Of their troubles, she
