the Buckeye Mowers and ReAPers, built by

found their highest eIpecta ions more than

This firm have for twenty-one years enjoyed
the reputation Of turning out from their fac

lection of their mechanical principles, we're OF
the highest excellence.
II is fact, which should have great weight
with purchasers, that the system OF oonstruc-
ton peculiar to the Buckeye Machine is the
ouly one that has remained unchanged in
principle, while among the many changes
made in competing machines, the only one'
that have met with any degree of success are
those which we're copied from the Buckeye.
A new Single Wheel Reaper, called the
"ApR1ANoE," has been lately added to thu

Mud Pies.

Mrs. Pigs five little children were
dressed up one morning by their mother
in clean white aprons, which they
dreaded, and were told that they might
go out on the grass under the trees to
play. "Be sure that you keep on the
grass, though, children" the mother
put her head out of window to say,
"and don't go near the puddles in the
road"
So off they ran, capering and frisking,
and would have been very happy but
for SO much starch in their aprons, and
for the fear of getting speck of dirt on
them. They played "Dickies Land"
and "Puss in the Corner" with the
trees for corners, and tried to be con-
tented; but all the while they thought
of the beautiful puddles that the last
nights rain had made, where yellow
butterflies were futtering, and where
there was such lovely chance to make
mud pies.
At last the temptation grew too strong
for them, and one by one they slipped
through the gate out into the road,
where they soon forgot their clean
aprons and their mothers warming, and
made mud pies to their hearts content,
and even waded out into the water up to
their knees.
Their mother soon missed them from
the grass, and went in search of them.
She had felt sure that she should find
them where they ought not to be, and
80 had armed herself with q stick. She
went grunting and grumbling along,
and sure enough, there they all were,
padding in the forbidden puddle, and
mixing up their dirt pastries, until the
five aprons were the same color as theil
pies.
They caught sight of their mother
before she reached them, with her cap
frills flying and her threatening stick il
the air, and with one frightened squea
away they scampered and hid them
selves, breathless and terrified, under th,
barn.
What happened to them when thei
mother caught them, I do not like t,
tell.- Youths Companion.

Lending u Pair of Legs,

Sometimes we ask people to "lend q
hand" and sometimes we can hear them
say LEND me your eyes," Here is a
story about boy who lent pair of legs
just to accommodate.
Some boys were playing at base ball
in a pretty, shady street. Among the
number was lame little fellow, SEEM
ingly about twelve years old, a pale,
sickly-looking child, supported on two
crutches, and who evidently found
much difficulty in walking, even with
such assistance.
The lame boy wished to join the
game; for he did not seem to see how
much his infrmity would be in his own
way, and how much it would hinder the
progress of such an active sport as
base ball.
His companions, good-naturedly
enough, tried to persuade him to stand
on one side and let another take his
place none of them limited that he
would be In the way but they all OBJ
jected for fear that he would hurt him.
