FOR LITTLE PEOPLE.
The BEES SERMON.

GOod-morniHg. dear friends, I'm a clever
young Deei
And sermon iii preach if you'n listen to
me;
II will not be long, and it will not be dry,
And your own common-sense my remarks
may apply.
Not slothfuI in business must be the frst
head,
For with vigor we work till the sun goes to
bed;
And unless one is willing to put forth ones
powers
There is no. getting on in a world such as
ours.
We are fond of our dwellings. no gossips are
we,
No gadders about idle neighbors to see;
And though we are forced for our honey to
roam,
We come back as soon as we can to our
home.
"The way to be happy, and wealthy, and
wise,
Is early to rest and early to rise"
This proverb has nodded our conduct for
And We never sleep when the daylight ap-
pears.
Hyou were to peep in our hives you would
That as models of cleanliness they might be
shown;
All dust and all dirt, without any lelay.
Are swept from our door, and soon carried
away.
Ventilation most thorough our domiciles
share,
so no one need teach us the worth OF fresh
air;
For we could not live, as we've heard people
do,
In close rooms where no health giving
breeze can pass through.
When one of our number is sick or distressed
He is sure of kind treatment from each of
the rest;
We sympathIze warmly with those who're
in grief,
And are eager to proffer immediate relief.
We carry our stings, not on any pretense
For aggressive attack, but in self defense;
We NEEDLE with no one, and only repel
Assailants who will not ia peace with US
dwell.
Now my sermon is ended and you, if you
please,
Some hints may derive from us hard work
ing bees;
May your life be as useful, your labors as
sweet,
And may you have plenty of honey to eati

How Poor Dolly Wanted to Get Back to
Home and Grandma.
Seems as if you don't go to sleep very
well tonight, Angelina. most think
you're just the least bit homesick. Some
dollies are so hard to suit!
Don't you have lots of good times
here in California? Don't you have all
the oranges you can eat every day?
Don't you have just bushels of flowers?
Don't you go to the beach with me. and
hunt shells?
And when you're tired of playing out
doors, you can sit by the window and
watch the funny Cinnamon go by, with
their big blue shirts put on outside
stead of coats, and their queer wooden
shoes and long, black pig-tails-
And you can look at the dark-colored
men, and wonder whether they are In
dams or Mexieans And the real light
colored people-the whitest ones-they
are the visitors that have just come.

good while gets brown. l s'pose you
would get brown, Angelina, if you

Do you spose there's any way to have

What the Children Learned at Mammals
Blackboard Exercise.
THE mines are so hard'' said Fred,
running in from school the other day.
81 missed on them. Is supper most
ready. I'm so hungry. Say, mamma,
do you think you could help me learn
them?"
Eyes, my dear; after the supper things
are cleared away will help you, and
supper is almost ready. Wash yourself,
and set the chairs around the table.
Are the girls close by?'
Eyes, there they are at the gate" And
in came Daisy and Nellie, and Ralph,
too.
Bright young faces soon surrounded
the Widespread board, and unspoiled
appetites enjoyed the wholesome meal.
Mammals breads the best in the
world" attests one eager voice, while
others chat of the days doings in
school.
Soon, the meal over, the boys hasten
to milk the cows and bring in the wood
for the fireplace, while the girls with
deft hands wash and wipe the dishes
AS / get out my mending- basket,
say: DAISY, we are going to have a
blackboard lesson tonight Please get
the chalk, and write The Mines neat
ly on the blackboard. We have black
board-one of the cloth kind that rolls
up like map-and it is very useful.
"Oh, good, good" cried Ralph and
Nellie. Mammals blackboard lessons
are always so interesting"
But l don't know what she can find
to tell us about the mines, said Fred,
II mean to let you tell me some very
interesting things" said l, $50 put on
