A JUNE SHowER.-Mr. George MELON
aid gives some of his thoughts 10 children
From his Double Story" we quote ii
beautiful description of summer rain
storm, which will, perhaps, serve us Il re-
minder of d" the gay and golden weather 1"
which just now seems SO far away.
/" 1t came to pass one day, that in the
midst of shower of rain that might well
be called golden, seeing the sun, shining
us it fell, turned all its drops into molten
topazcs. and every drop was good for IL
grain of golden corn, or II yellow COW slip,
or buttercup, or a dandelion ut least; =
while this splendid rain was falling, say,
with musical patter upon the great
leaves of the horse chestnut, which huns
like Vandyke collars about the necks of
the creamy. red-spotted blossoms, and on
the leaves of the sycamores, looking as if
they ran blood in their veins, and on u
multitude of flowers, of which some stood
up and boldly held out their cups to catch
their share. while others covered down.
laughing, under the soft patterng blows
of the heavy warm drops; while this
lovely rain washing all the air clean from
the notes, and the bad odors, and the pois-
on-seeds that has escaped from their prs
ons during the long drought; while il
fell splashing and sparkling with n hum,
and Il rush, ana soft plashing,-but stop!
l am stealing, | find, and not that only.
but with clumsy hands spelling what |
steal:-
| 0 Rain with your dull twoiold sound,
The clash hard by, and the mulmur all round;
there! take it, Mr. Coleridge while,
as l was saying, the lovely little rivers
whose fountains are the clouds. and which
cut their own channels through the air,
and make SWEET noises rubbing against
their banks us they hurry down and down,
until ut length they are pulled up on II
sudden, with musical plash, in the very
heart of an odorous flower, that first
gasps and then signs up blissfu scent,
or on II bald head Of IL stone that never
says, Thank you while the very sheep
felt ii blessing them, though it could never
reach their skins through the depth of
their long wool, and the verest hedgehog
| mean the one with the longest spikes =
came and spiked himself out to impale us
many If the drops us he could; while the
rain was thus falling, and the leaves. and
the flowers, and the sheep, and the cattle,
and Tit hedgehog, were all buSily lecciv-
ing the golden rain, something happened.
1t was not great battle, nor IN earth
quake, nor coronation but something
more important than all those put togeth-

THE HIGHWAY COW.

The hue of her hide was dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was sllm'
One horn turned up and the other down
She was keen of vision and long OF limb;
with a Roman nose and short stump tall
And ribs like the hoops on home made pail
Many the marks did her body bear
She had been q target for all things KNOWN
On many a scar the dusky hair
Would grow no more where 1t once had grown
Many passionate. parting shot
Had left upon her lasting spot.
Many and many we'll aimed stone.
Many a brickbat of goodly size.
Aud many a cudgel, swiftly thrown,
Had brought the tears to her bovine eyes;
Or had bounded off her bony back,
With the noise like the sound of q rifle crack
Many day she had passed in the pound.
For helping herself to her neighbours corn;
Many cowardly cur and hound
Had been transfKed on her crumpled horn;
Mlny tea pot and old tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time-worn tail.
Old Deacon Gray was pious man,
Though sometimes tempted to be protane,
When many weary mile he ran
To drive her out Of the growing grain.
Sharp were the pranks she used to play,
To get her ill and to get away,
She knew when the Deacon went to town:
She wisely watched him when he went by,
lie never passed her without frown,
And an evil CLEAN in each angry eye;
He would crack his whip in surly way,
And drive away in his " one boss shay"
Then at his homestead she used to call.
Lifting his bars with crumpled horn;
Nimbly scaling his gard en- wall,
Helping herself to his standing corn;
Hurrying home when her work was DONE
As II .he rather enjoyed the fun
Often the Deacon homeward came,
Humming hymn from the house of prayer,
His hopeful heart in a tranquil FRAME
His soul as calm as the evening air;
His toreheadas SIN 10th as wellworn pillow,
To find in his garden that highway COW.
His human passions were quick to rise,
AMI striding forth with savage cry,
With fury blazing from both his eyes,
As llghtniugs fash from Summer sky.
Redder and redder his face would grow
And after the creature he would &c.
Over the garden, round and round
Breaking the pear and apple trees;
Tramping his melons into the ground,
0verturning his hives of bees;
Leaving him angry and badly stnng,
Wishing the old cows neck was wrung.
The MOSES grew on the garden WALL
The years went by with thei work and play;
The boys of the village grew strong and tall,
And the gray-haired farmers passed away
One by one. as the red leaves fall
But the highway COW outlived them all.
All earthly creatures must have their day.
And some must have their months and years,
Some in dying will long delay;
There is climax to all careers;
And the highway COW az last was slain,
In running a race with railway train.
All into pieces at once she went,
Just like the savings banks when they fail;
Out of the world she was swiftly sent
Little was left but her old stump tail.
The farmers cornfelds and gardens now
Are haunted no more BY the highway COW.

JENNA BROWN.

Bring her here, my little Alice
Poor Jemima Brown!
Make the little cradle ready,
Softly lay her down.
Once she lived in ease and comfort,
Slept on couch of down;
Now upon the floor she's lying
Poor Jemima Brown!
Once she WAS a lovely.dolly.
Rosy checked and fair,
With her eyes of brightest azure,
And her golden hair,
Now, alas no hair remaineth
On her poor old crown;
And the crown itself is broken
Poor Jemima Brownl
Once her legs were smooth and eomely,
And her nose was straight;
And that arm, now hanging lonely,
Had methinks, mate.
All, she was as finely dressed as
Any doll in town;
Now she's old, forlorn md ragged
Poor Jemima Brown
Yet be kind to her, my Alice!
IT'S no fault of hers
If her willful little mistress
Other dolls prefer.
Did she pull her pretty hair out?
Did she break her crown?
Did she break her arms and legs off
Poor Jemima Brown!
Little hands that did the mischief,
You must do your best
Now to give poor old dolly
Comfortable rest.
So Wen make the cradle ready,
And we'll lay her down;
And We'll ask papa to mind her.
Poor Jemima Brown!-St Nicholas.

An ARABIAN NAG.-A year or two ago
Il friend, Il cily-bred man, spent the sum
mer with us, for the sake Of enjoying The
society of i'm Arabian mare, which he
picked up ut an auction sale ut u bargain.
The mare was sent to the farm, and before
LONG he came too, and became in estub-
lished member of our household for the
season. The mare was as white us snow,
with silky name and tail us fine us Il
hdv's hair. Her gait was IN easy canter,
or II free trot, and she had an intelligence
which was almost human. 1t was not
long before she had been ridden over al
most every road in the vicinity. Oar
friends morning cantGr ended ut the rail
way station where he and | took the cars
FIR New York, in order that the mare
might be led home. One day she was. by
mistake, not fastened t. tile wagon, but
nevertheless pIolded on behind rs piousIy
us if she hud been tied, though often II
rod or two behind. This was afterwards
repeated, and suggested the idea of turn
ing her loose at other stations to come
home alone, which, after that. she did with
precision. 4 card WAS attached to the
