THE FLOWER GIRL.

From an algonquin Indian Story.
I'm going to the garden
Where summer roses blow;
I'll make me little sister
OF all the flowers that grow;
III make her body of lilies,
Because they're soft and white;
III make her eyes Of yiolcts,
With dcw-drops shining bright;
III make her lips of rosc-buds,
Her checks of rosc-lcavcs-rcd,
Her hair Of silky cOrn-tops
All braided round her head;
With apple-trce and pear leaves
III make her lovely gown,
With rows Of golden buttcrcups
For buttons, up and down.
I'll dance with my little sister
Away 10 the river strand,
Away across the water
Away into Fairy-land.

do not think it can be impressed or

were eminently more qualified for the
Third.
1t seems to be characteristic of
Young America to see how much
ground they can cover, without re-
gard TO the thoroughness of the work
And this trait is by no means confined
to educational things. You will find
it in agricultural pur-uitS und In nv
chanical works. Small farms in the
old world. where the population is
densest. yield more profit TO the acre
than with us where there is plenty of
land. The secret of this is thorough
ness I'm the work and the proper en-
riching OF the soil. The same rule
can be successfully applied in educa-
tional matters. A limited education
with the mind well cultivated and EN-
riched will yield far more of real profit
financially, and other ways than SUI
perfical education, covering q vast
amount of territory.
