The leaves falling, one by one,
Colder it blows;
Soon come the SHOWS.
What will become of the trees, Mamma.
The bare brown trees when all is done?
Will not the trees be cold, Mamma,
When all the leaves are blown away?
When the nights are long,
And the winds are strong.
Will not the trees be cold, Mamma,
On many cold and wintry day?
What will become of the leaves, Mamma?
Away before the wind they fall;
After their play,
Hurried away.
What will become Of the leaves, Mamma?

The greenest little sprout!
used to carry water there,
When no one was about,
And every day I'd count to see
How many leaves were out.
Till, by and by there came flower
The color Of the sun,
Which withered up and then I saw
The pumpkin was begun;
But oh! I knew I'd have to wait
So long to have my fun,
Before that small green ball could be
A great big yellow one.
At last, one day, when it had grown,
To be the proper size,
Said Aunt Matilda: "John see here,
I'll give you surprise"
She took me to pantry shelf,
And there before my eyes,
Was set dreadful row Of half
A dozen pumpkin pies.
Said Aunt Matilda: "John, found
A pumpkin, high and dry,
Upon pile Of rubbish, down
Behind that worn-out sty!"
0, dear, didn't cry, because
I'm quite too big to cry,
But honestly, I couldn't eat
A mouthful Of the pie.

The collecting of pictured advertisement
cards has become so common among boys
and girls during the last few years, that
we doubt not, many of our young readers
have at the present time more than they
know what to do within fact, SO many
that the young connoisseurs ale almost
weary of looking them over. A great
many young folks paste their cards into
scrap books, While examining one of
these books not long ago, it occurred to me
that the cards might be utilized in a new
way, by dividing and combining them.
Let me, then, try to show you how; with
aid of scissors and mucilage, the pictures
that have become so familiar may be made
to undergo transformations that are indeed
wonderful.
Cut from piece of strong cream-colored
paper cambria or white mustn't, four
squares twenty-four inches long by twelve
inches wide. Button-hole-stitch the edges
all around with some bright ,colored worst
ed, then place the squares neatly together
and stitch them through the center with
strong thread. Fold them over, stitch
again again and your book is finished and
ready for the pictures.
1t is in the preparation Of these pictures
that you will find the novelty of the plan
propose. Instead of FASTING in the cards
which have become too familiar to awaken
interest, let the young book-makers design
and form their own pictures by cutting
Arkansas ladies' journal. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1884-1886, 1884-11-08


to form new combinations. Any subjects
which suits the fancy can be illustrated in
this way, and you will soon be deeply
interested in the work, and delighted at
the strange and striking pictorial characters
that can be produced by ingenious combin-
atoms.
Stories sand little poems may be very nicely
and APPLY illustrated, but the mother Goose
melodies "are perhaps the most suitable
subjects with which to interest younger
children as they will be easily recognized
by the little folk" Take for instance
the "Three Wise Men of Gotham" who
event to sea in a boat, "Little Jack Hor-
ner eating his Christmas pie" Il had a
Little Husband no Bigger Than my
Thumb" "The Old Woman Who Lived
in Shoe.o You will be surprised to see
what amusing and often ercellent illustra-
tions present themselves as the result Of a
little ingenuity in clipping and pasting;
and the book composed in this way not
only affords amusement during the MAX
ing but presents, when finished unique
and original addition to the stock of pic
ture books.
-AdekG B. Beard.
What nice rainy day work that would
be; when tired of every thing else, surely
some fun could be enjoyed hunting over
the cards to find "The old woman who
was tossed up in basket" or "Mistress
Mary" or even "Mother Goose" herself
might be induced to make her appearance
for our pleasure.
At the Christmas time, so rapidly ap-
preaching, many an older sister or brother
might employ a little of the spare time to
add to the pleasure of the younger ones, In
preparing these picture books for Christ
mas presents, instead Of thinking they
can do nothing at all because they cannot
give costly presents. Such simple presents,
which cost more time and labor than money
are often source of greater enjoyment
than many more snowy and expensive
one.
shall go out on tour of inspection
soon, to see where the little folks can find
the prettiest things for their Christmas
presents, for Of course they do not expect
to go on forever receiving presents and
give nothing in return; and | shall learn
where their nickIes will hold out longest,
and give them the benefit of my search.

Johns Pumpkin.
BY MRS, GEORGE ARCHIBALD.

Last spring | found pumpkin seed,
And thought that l would go,
And plant it in secret place,
That no one else would know,
And watch all summer long to see
Il grow, and grow, and grow,
And maybe raise a pumpkin for
A Jack-a-lantern show.
