WHAT THE MOON SAW.

A little ssiue eyed innocent
 Out in she yards at play Had chased, without a thought of wrong A mother hen away. Her father spoke in earnest tones, And grave the words he said, While she, sad for her thoughtlessness, Went to her little bed. Again at night she sought the yards, Fearless of ghosts or owls, Where, upon porch or nest or tree, Slumbered the precious fowls When they with terrifying noise Flew out and of, all wild, The master sought to know the cause And met his panting child. "Father, came to kiss the hen," She said in her sweet way, "And tell her I was sorry cause scared her yesterday" The father clasped her in his arms In happiest embrace. "And I, too, said the gentle moon. tI kissed the dear. sweet face"
