Little sAllie was very i'll, so Ill that the
good doctor had left strict orders that she
must not talk. Her mamma, very SEN
sible woman, knew that it would dis
tress her little girl not to be able to COM

arranged code of signals by which the
little girl could make known her wants.
To wiggle the first finger meant water;
the second finger. milk; the third,

weak, and her life had been despaired of,
but the good doctor said she would re-
cover if her appetite would only return.
One day her mamma, who was sitting by
her side, saw thin little thumb wiggling
vigorously.
What did the thumb mean? Surely the
thumb had been overlooked.
"What is it, dear?" whispered her
mamma, bending over her.
s'Meat, - came from Allies lips.
When the doctor came in, a few min
utes afterwards, and was told all about it,
he said: ''Give her a tiny bit of meat.
She will get well now"
And she did, but she never forgot the
code OF signals.

young, which at first were rather shy,
but now are as tame as the old ones.

1t had been pouring hard all day,
every thing was soaking, and the poor
pony looked in vain for dry spot to lie

it went up to COW that had been lying

most vicious kick; this he repeated sew
eral times, until at last she was compelled
regretfully to rise, whereupon the pony
promptly lay down in the very spot occu-
pied and kept dry by the cow.-London

The Birches.

/ have just got copy of Fuller'S
Practical Forestry, and have come to
the conclusion that, although he is q
scientific man, and l was born in the
woods and brought up in the back end
of the pasture. there are some things
that one of us does not know. What l
was taught to call gray birch, and the
only tree to which ever heard that
name applied, is a small tree, with very
stiff, crooked limbs, which remain on
the trunk after they are dead aud add
much to the labor of preparing the tree
for fuel, which is all it is used for, as il
is too full of knots to be used for spool
timber. 1t grows abundantly on dry
plains, with the pitch pines in some
places, and sometimes in swales, along
neglected roadsides, etc. 1t is seldom
over six inches in diameter and thirty
feet high, runs up without any large
branches, and is easily bent over by
snow or ice. The leaves are about one
inch aud quarter long, triangular,
glossy above, aud finely serrate. The
outer bark never peels off readily, and
is all in one sheet. practically indivisi
BILE. This tree Fuller does not describe
at all; but his brief mention Of 6 b nj.
grd, Black birch, River birch, Red
BIRCH" would apply as far SIS it goes.
But he puts the triangular, glossy leaves
on the white birch, which has cha ky,
white, paper-like bark; and as he also
gives " Gray birch" as one of the com
mon names of the same tree, it would
seem that he had cOnfounded the two.
But again, he uses " Gray birch" as one
of the common names of the yellow
birch o. luteo); so it seems that gray
is a name wandering about in search OF
a victim. Then, after describing the
bark of the white birch and It's thin
paper-line layers, he calls paper birch
and canoe birch the same, yet different
from white birch. In this he is hall
right, for, according to my observation
there is the same difference between a
white birch and a canoe birch that there
is between a Durham steer and Dur
ham ox,-one is older and larger than
the other The white birch proper, in
Guiding the " canoe birch" is the only
large birch in this part of the country
that retains its tough, smooth, outside
bark when it becomes large tree. Bott
the yellow, and the black " mahogany
birch shed their bark and become rougt
and scanned in old age. L.
