The Flower Painters.

One day a very queer little girl, whom we
will call Bertha, was walking in the garden
and looking at the flowers. call her a
queer little girl, because she has such strange
thoughts, and such singular way of think
ing them aloud
a." | wonder" said she, talking to herself,
"who paints the flowers" | am telling YOU
the story just as Bertha told it to Inc.
g We do we do" cried Jingle of little
voices, that sounded like little tinkling bells.
Bertha looked around, but could see no
one; so she called out, "Who are you d?
where are you z"
lila, ha, ha right here under your nose"
tinkled the little voices again and there, in
white lily, stood a crowd of tiny people,
laughing aud shouting.
Bertha drew back when she saw them :
but one of the little folks called out, Don't
be afraid; we love everybody who loves
flowers for we are the flower painters"
Bertha got over her fright when she heard
this, and soon stopped down before the hly
to talk with these wonderful people.
What is your name, little folks 2" she
asked.
"Our name" replied one, is Juice; we
are the Juices. We sleep under ground all
winter, wrapped in stout, brown cloaks but
when spring comes we wake up, and from
that time until 1t is winter again, we are as
busy as we can be for it is only a part of
our work to paint the flowers and the leaves -
why" cried Bertha, do you paint the
leaves as well as the flowers Where do
you get your paints from 2"
From the sun, little girl" answered one
OF the smallest fairies in very wise way
"What story" shouted Bertha the
sun isn't any color; and besides you couldn't
go up to it, it is so far off,
You are right, Bertha" said the first
fairy ave could not go to the sun but God
the kind God, sends our paints TO us, wrapped
up i'll little bundles which YOU call sunbeams
Spread out your handkerchief in your lap
and take this piece of glass in your hand
Now let the sunbeams fall ON the sharp cor
ner of the glass; that will split them open
and the paints will fall out on the handker
chief"
Bertha did as the fairy told her to do
and, as soon as one of the sunbeams fell on
the sharp glass, it split open, and seven little
paints fell on her lap. There were violet
indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and RED
all out of one small bundle While Bertha
was looking at the paints, one of the fairie.
continued talking.

that we almost forget how to mix colors
so, when we wake up in the spring we us,

40, that is it !" cried Bertha That i.
the reason why the violets are all blue, and
the dandelions all yellow, isn't it ?"
Yes, little girl, that is the reason and
it is by practicing all summer that we are
able to do the leaves so well in the autumn.
Just then Bertha came to herself, and there
instead of white lily, was lily of many
different colors beautifully blended together
She looked all around for the fairies bu,

Fall Setting Of Fruit Trees.

We are often asked whether fall or spring
is the most Convenient time, but whether the
trees do well depends in some degree upon
the succeeding winter. But so of spring
planting-the nature of the following sum
mer has part in deciding upon the success
of the operation In either case as early
setting as possible, followed 10y heavy mulch
ing, is advisable. For summer mulching
light litter is best, but for winter we prefer
small stones or a mound of EARTH to be par

fully done, make better growth than spring
set trees The fall is also better time to
60 to the nursery and select your trees,
which every buyer should do, unless he can
depend upon the nurseryman to do as he
would be done by.
Whether set in the fall or not, we should
always advise procuring the trees in the fall
If possible. When it is not intended to set
them out, they should either be packed in
moist sawdust, in dry, cool cellar (the saw
dust of wet logs, right from the saw, is just
right, or carefully heeled ill.," in dry spot
where they will be sheltered from severe
wind and at least partially covered with
snow. IIeeling in is simply burying the
roots, the trees being laid in a slanting di-
rection, with the tops touching the ground
The dirt should be as thoroughly worked
among the roots as when planted, as every
root not in firm contact with the soil in
either case will die. This is also important
when the trees are packed in the CELLAR the
sawdust must be well worked in among the
roots, and the box covered to prevent the
sawdust becoming too dry. In either case
look out for mice A tight enclosure OF
boards two feet high will protect from mice
in the field, and also do good by holding
the snow

for IT,"
"Can't 60 ?" cried Willie eagerly, for
getting his headache.
"No, my dear, you might get cold Sit
still and III get it for you"
So he settled back in his big chair where
he was ensconced, looking very much indeed
like an invalid, enveloped in the great shawl
and with a pillow at his back
While he was alone he could hear the
voices of the children at play in their recess
coming family from the distance. Every
thing seemed to show that summer was at
hand. How he longed to be out ia the fields
at play.
When his mother came back with the
speller, his headache returned so he passed
his morning twisting about in his chair and
wishing for dinner-time TO come. At noon
one of his little friends came to see why he
had been absent.

mother, determined to make sure cure.
so, mother, can't please go? / don't

The little friend, not understanding the
situation, looked on in amazement at seeing
Willie openly avowing good health, and
pleading for permission to 60 to school, de-
MED that privilege. lie wished that his
mother would act in the same way
Willie had but a dreamy afternoon of il,
and was glad when night came. In the
morning he was up bright aud early, and
when his mother appeared, he cried out;

"Well, then, you must wear your thick

you mustn't get sick again.
Whenever, afterwards, Willie showed the
slightest desire to stay away from school,
his mother would say "Willie, don't you

A Pioneer Fruit Grove.

Some time since we gave an account OF
the newly introduced hardy winter apple
from Minnesota, called the " Wealthy, -
raised by Peter NJ. Gideon, of Excelsior, in
that state. There recently appeared in the
st. Paul Pioneer Press letter from Mr..
Gideon, giving an account Of some of his
trials and experiences in the effort to grow
apples in that severe climate, which convey
such lesson of perseverance under diff
culties, and its fual reward, that we are
moved to copy portion Of it for the instruc-
ton of our readers, and their encourage
ment under similar circumstances. Mr..
Gideon says;
We came here twenty-one years ago last No
vember, the next spring set out three hun
dred and fifty apple-trees, about fifty pear, plum
and cherry trees and planted bushel Of apple
seeds and out Of all there now remains a few
branches Of one apple-tree, the centre having
been cut out, killed some eight or ten year,
ago by leaf lice, at which time, and by which
cause We lost great many fine trees. Three
Year, thereafter we set about thousand trees In
one orchard, the most Of which were killed by the
grasshoppers; and not only the orchard trees, but
several thousands Of the seedlings and root gratis

or eastern apple seeds, in quest Of something
hardy, and never less than to have brought a
