OWosso's First Fire.

which Mr.. Chapman stated belonged to the
cellar of a house which was burned about
"A years ago.
The house, said Mr.. Chapman, had been
occupied by the father of the late Gov.
Bagley, but at the time of the fire family
by the name of Luther lived in 1t. A Mr..
Lytle, an old gentleman so years of age, of
Lytle's Corners, was stopping there over
night, and had taken bricks to bed that he
might keep warm. During the night he
awoke to find the bedding in flames; he
leaped from the bed and ran out of the
house and rushed down the street like
man of thirty, shouting murder" The
house was destroyed and never rebuilt.
The former church edifice did not extend so
far south as the new one, consequently the
stone of the cellar to this house was not
disturbed when the former edifice was built.

LITTLE BROWN BUsHY-TAIL.

little brown Bushy Tail lived up in tree,
And messy and snug was his nest,
Acorns and beechnuts in plenty had he,
And he scarcely knew which he liked best.
He was CHEEKY of temper and agile OF nmp,
And his own little will was his law;
FOR what was the world and its worries to him,
When he held plump nut in his claw?
Az he cracked it he twinkled his knowing
black eyes,
The kernel picked out by-and-by;
Then he ate it, and looking uncommonly wise
Said. Folk may be worse off than l.
..For I'm sure I'm content with my portion IN
life,
And of nuts I've plentiful store;
With NV little brown babies and little brown
wife
What on earth could squirrel want more?
He ad lots of near neighbors as merry as me-
They we're CHEEKY and playful each one
Don't they show us that happy els easy 10 De
If good humor we give with our fun? e
Content with the blessings our Father may give,
How happy would al of us be,
If we tried with our friends and our neighpors
