The mice which haunted my house were
not the common ones which are said to have
been introduced into the country, but
wild native kind, not found in the village:
[ sent one to distinguished naturalist, and
it interested him much. When l was build
ing, one OF these had its nest underneath
the house, and before had laid tho second
floor, and swept out the shavings, would
come out regularly at lunch time and pick
up the crumbs at my feet. 1t probably had
never seen man before. 1t soon became
quite familiar, and would run over my
shoes and up my clothes. 1t could readily
ascend the sides of the room by short inn
pulses like squirrel, which it resembled in
its motions. At length, as l leaned with
my elbow on the bench, one day, it ran up
nry clothes and along my sleeve, and round
and round the paper which L7I hold my dinner,
and played at bo-peep with it; and when at
last held still piece Of cheess between
my thumb and finger, it came and nibbled
it, sitting in my hand, and after ward clean.
ed it's face and paws, like fly, and walked
away.-Henry Thoreau.
