Babies Among the Flowers.

DEAR JACK-IN-THE-PULPTT: Belle
found such wonderful things growing
down in the ground, in one Of her flow.
er-beds, that I must tell your children
about them. I had never seen such
growing, either in fower-garden OF
woodland, and probably some of your
little folks can say the same.
One cold day last spring, while sweep
ing withered leaves into heaps for burn.
ing, Belle heard strange little noise.
right under her broom, as it seemed.
''Queak, queak," it sounded to the
alarm of the little maiden, who, having
great fear Of snakes, thought it must be
one. The noise ceasing with the broom
she again commenced sweeping, and
''queak, queak," came from the pile of
leaves. She took long stick, and stir
ring among the leaves found-what do
you suppose? Only hole scooped out,
end well lined with soft gray fur, and in
it what seemed to be moving, wrig-
Cling ball of gray fur. It was rabbits
nest, containing three tiny rabbits not
larger than grown mice, but so much
prettier! Their eyes were closed; but
such long, dainty ears and beautiful
sleek coats! Each had straight line of
white in its forehead, as though Mother
''Cotton-tail" had combed and parted
each little head, like any other mother
who wishes her children to look very
nice. After examining them, even tax
ing one out of the nest, Belle replaced
the hair-blanket and leaf coverlet Just as
she found them, and concluded not to
burn that heap Of leaves.
The gray babies received many visits,
but soon grew so large and wide awake
that one day, when Belle was taking a
peep, out they scampered and were
never more seen in the garden. Per
haps they came home to sleep every
night, but they were not seen by Belle
again. Yours truly,

'tBe brave, Beryl."
The north wind was bowling fiercely
through the cordage of a staunch vessel
as she dashed madly through the seeth-
ing waters that stretched away from her
on either side in desolate fury. Now
poised on the crest of great green bill
low, aid anon plunged into watery
depth that seemed to end only in the
bosom of the earth, the good ship strug-
gled bravely with the mighty forces of
the tempest, but though her timbers
might :groan in almost humany agony,
there was no parting of the seams, no
weakening of the bolts that held deck
and bulwark together in so firm clasp.
It was Beryl McClosky's wedding
trip. Two days agone she had been
joined in wedlock's holy bonds to George
". Simpson, and her mother had con-
scented to go with them on their bridal
journey. It was her loving arm that
supported Beryl now, her kindly voice
that spoke the words with which this
chapter opens.
George cannot love me, mamma, "
the girl said, speaking in low mellow
tones, ''or he would be at my side now,
when I need him so sorely."
DO not judge hastily, my child" re-
piled the mother. "George is pretty
busy. Even now see him leaning over
the vessels side."
SIS he then so very, very sick?"
asked Beryl.
''Quite very" said Mrs. McCloskey.
''Has he thrown up his situation?"

Where the Ladies Are Inferior.

Of course women are inferior to us
lords OF creation. We see and feel this
hourly. Take dress for example. What
man, however idiotic, would permit his
heart, lungs and stomach to be laced in
a pair of corsets. until breathing, circu-
lation and digestion come to be diseases.
What man, outside an asylum for idiots,
would permit from five to twenty pounds
to be swung from his hips, over pair
OF shoes that have the heels where the
soles ought to be? Where is the idiot
willing to pile pounds on pounds of dead
hair on his skull? And all because some
skinny old milliners and lorettes of Paris
make it the fashion.-Don Piatt.

as a boy for an iron will and bulldog

he started up the tree again with the
broken limb dangling by his side; he
