 " It is about great cold iceberg that loves rose" explained the Trotty eyes, "but the rose does not love the iceberg, so the night wind is going to steal the rose and take her to the iceberg's palace"
 The Dady eyes did not seem to under stand all this sentiment, and were going to make further inquiries, when the Susie eyes asked: "Can you see the big city away down yonder?'
 "Oh, yes," said the Trotty eyes, and we can see the house where we live during the day"
 "And can we see our mamma r' asked the Dady eyes.
 Certainly" replied the rrotty eyes. Look hard, and you will sec her fast asleep in bed. See, she is smiling."
 "l can see her," said an ugly old spook that came buzzing through the air /" and 1 know why she is smiling. Listen: There's joyous smile on hea features, while The moon through the lattice streams. And fancies roll through her somnolent soul And sweet are her fevered dreams
 The dreams
 With which her slumber teens. There are tonnes of guile in her tranquil
 smile
 That basks in the moons caress- She dreams of gown that's the talk of the
 town
 That's easy enough to guess
 Oh, yes,
 She dreams of new silk dressi
 "For shamel' cried the star eyes. Az .f ~f such things! No; when mother smiles in her sleep, she dreams of her little one"
 And for this abominable heresy, the ugly old spook was condemned to marry an owl and live in the hollow of dead tree.
 Baa-baa," bleated little lamb in the meadow. It had lost its way among the high grass and flowers, and was bleat- ing for its mother.
 "Poor little lamb-it has lost its way" said the Louisa eyes.
 Can we not help it ?" said the Susie eyes. Suppose we all shine as hard as ever we can, and then maybe it will see its way to its mamma"
 So all the little star eyes shone with all their might, and startled by the sudden light, the mother sheep sprang from her slumbers and called to her little one. Then the little lamb heard her voice, and hastened to her side. It made the star eyes very happy that they had done the little lamb such kindly service. Then all the flock on the meadow got together, and the wise old mother sheep gathered around in a circle and watched the little lambs at play in the midst of the circle. It was a lively sight. On the meadow grew daisy which the lambs loved very dearly, because it was beautiful and gentle. Now, it happened that this daisy stood right in the centre of the circle where the lambs played that night.
 "Oh, come," said one little lamb, whose name was Kinky, "come, let us have some fun with the daisy. Let us see if we can leap over its head"
 For mercy's sake! l" cried the daisy, '" do not strike me with your feet or you will crush me!'
 Have no fears," said Kinky, for we love you too much to harm you"
 Then the fun began. Kinky led the race, and lcaped over the daisy, and all the rest of the lambs followed in one, two, three fashion, and so the sport con- tinued until the little lambs were all worn out with play, and the mother sheep were nearly dead with laughter. And the daisy cried, Now, really, you must rest awhile, and as for me, l must open my little mouths and take good, long drinks of cool dew, for am very thirsty.S "Yes," said an old grandma sheep, "you little lambs should go to bed. Le down on the green grass close to your mothers while l sing you to sleep"
 They were very obedient little lambs. They cuddled up to their big, warm mothers, and fell asleep to the song of the old grandma sheep, which song was something like this
 A HUsHABY. Ba-ba, baby sheep,
 Chill and somber grows the night
 Only stars from heavens height
 Shed on us their golden light Ba-ba, go to sleep
 Go to sleep, baby sheep. Ba-ba, baby sheep
 Never mind the goblin's growl--
 Never heed the ho odoo's howl
 Let the hippogriffin prowl-- Ba -ba, mother1l keep
 Watch over baby sheep! Ba ba. baby sheep Up above, serene and far
 Beams a tiny golden star
 Listening to the ba-ba l am singing to the sheep, As they rock the lambs asleep.
 "We can understand that song," said the Dady eyes, Aand we like it very much. On the whole, we think it is very pleasant up here in the sky"
 ~Yes," said tae Louisa eyes, sit is much better to be shining upon the world up here than to be slumbering in our quiet cribs at home-n Then pair of the older eyes ex- plained that if the children were good all day on earth, sses- sS.= =>cA ...esy he set in the sly for sta6x- DAdy's eyes and Louisa's and Trottyis and all the rest as once made solemn determinatisa iSat they always would be good.
