a PUTIN CHANGED.

chievous little creatures, who started out
together one fine morning along the cliffs
just TO pass the time for an hour or two
They had not gone far when they spied
rabbit hole, above which there was large
board with the words, ''Mr. Rabbit back
in five minutes" written on it. Now these
putiins. although they were young, knew
enough of the world to be sure that when
any one puts up notice outside his door,
Back in five minutes" it really means
that he has gone out for a long time and
does not know when he will be back. So
they thought they would explore the bur
row, and if the rabbit CHANGED to come
back while they were inside SO much the
better. 1t would give him fright. So in
they went.
But it happened that Mr.. Rabbit had
been out for long scamper over the cliffs,
and he came Looping up just as the puffins
disappeared down the hole. He suspected
nothing, and after looking round to be
sure that no one saw him he popped into
his burrow, singing softly to himself,
Home. Sweet Homer A second or two
after and out he came with bounce, his
eyes starting out OF his head with fright

A Bows Composition on Cats.

Cats don't like to swim, and never do ex-
cept it's an old cat that you want to get
rid of and you do her up in a bag with
some bricks and throw her into a mill
pond off the bridge and then she'll burst
the bag and swim ashore and kite for
home, SOS to be there to welcome you
there, SOS you won't feel lonesome.
Our cat lives in the house what times
she don't live over TO Jones barn. She is
real handy to throw stones at and to pull
her tail and make her squawk. l make
her squawk ten or six times day, and the
backs of my hands is drawed out in lines
like map, where her toe nails has got
hitched.
Cats can climb telegraph poles and set
on the ridgepoles of four story houses
without being dizzy headed, and they can
sleep with one eye open and lay awake
with both eyes shut.

and all his fur standing on end Murder"
be screamed, Whats that2" And turning
tail he rushed away as if one were shoot
ing at him And presently the two mis-
chievous little puffins appeared, grinning
with delight. "What fright the old chap
was in,' said one to the other.
But the rabbit never got over the fright.
He went mad, stuck straws in the fur of
his head, and the next morning he danced
over tho edge Of the cliff and fell down,
down-past the rows of puffins, past the
old cormorant sitting on jagged point of
rock, past the cloud of screaming gulls
which were swirling round and round
splash into the sea far below. And his
body went so far down that big old lob
ster who lived in Granny of the rock got
hold Of it and made a hearty meal of the
remains of poor bunny. The pufins got
off that time, but one can foresee that their
tricks may some time end in trouble for
them

The oIischisvous Trick Which Two Little
Puffins Played Upon Poor Mr.. Rabbit.
Do you know what a putin iss Well,
the putin is funny little black and white
bird, about foot in length, with big,
colored beak, which makes the creature
look as If it had put its head into a tea
coy. On the rocky cliffs of some sea
coasts you may see rows of puf1ins, sitting
and bowling and nodding to each other in
very comical way. They sit very up
right, as diving birds generally do when
they are ashore, and they look like lot of
stout old gentlemen in black coats and
white waistcoats chattering together. If
you look at the first picture, you will see
how easy it is to turn putin into an old
gentleman.
The puffins make their nests in the
crevices of the rocks. and very often they
use a rabbits burrow for a home, turning
out the poor Dummies. Well, the pufins l

A Ruling Passion.

Aside from the insurmountable cir
cumstances that control our lives or
'the divinity that shapes our ends, .
more men are led through life by in
clination and passion OF some sort,
than are self-moved by will or intellect,
in the accomplishment OF character.
The latter faculties are, for the most
part, exercised by ordinary mon mere
ly as the means of attaining some
temporary possession, some ephemeral
heart's desire, rather than to achieve
such permanent good as sober judg-
ment approves. Only q few lofty
souls are guided by pure reason
alone in the whole conduct OF their
lives. Such sublime men, although
too frequently maltreated by their
contemporaries, are likely however to
have their work, when allowed to be
done according TO their designs, -ul-
timately appreciated by the race, and
themselves sometimes TO be classed as
god-like. They form strong attach
ments among the pure and the Just,
and exalt friendship to something al
most divine.
But even among higher natures.
generally speaking, love OF power
leads the most strong, love OF fame
the more sympathetic, love Of wealth
the ordinary, while love OF pleas

tiles to achieve either power, fame or
wealth, but who prefer what they re-

fostered, has very much to do in de-
termining the choice OF paths in life
by some men. But on the whole and
