THE BIRTH OF THE STAG.

Who wiz presume, unless by chance he
may have assisted at the ceremony, to
name the day and pace of the birth of
a Wild red deer? Yet if the knowledge
of the ways of deer be not vain, and al
experiences of teeth and head and slot
be not at fault, our conjecture will not
lead us very far from the truth. So
he came into the word, a downy-haired,
wlite-spotted .ittle red deer calf, with
four rather long legs and two large
ears, and looked about MIN with two
great beautiful eyes and saw his heritage
of EXmoor before him, fold upon fold OF
grass and heather, with the shadows
of the Clouds coursing over it. bounded
on the one hand by the blue sky and on
the other by the blue sea.
A peaceful, happy world it must have
slngu.ariy full for the moment of heed
.ess young creatures like himseii. Now
he would see an o.d vixen with her cubs
around her Playing merrily, as only fox
cubs can play, and hunting distracted
beetles among the stones; now a sober
o.d gray hen, much numbered with the
cares of maternity, watching anXiously
over her brood of little poults; now a
bloodthirslty Old weasel, with two couple
of young weasels behind her, all hurry
ing forward with little short legs and
long, 1.-the bodies on the line of some
hapless rabbit and speaking joyful,y to
the scent as they run.
Sometimes when walking leisurely
among the burning stones on the sunny
ccnbe side, his dam would back her ears
and look fierce, and he would see the
o.d mother viper open her hideous wicked
jaws and the ntt.e vipers rush down
her throat to their haven of refuge. Nay,
even when she took them with her to the
brown peat stream, the trout fry dashed
away from the shadows before him and
he could watch them scurrying from
stone, half in fright and half in play.
For all the world was young in those
days and al the young. except the
trout, seemed to have kind mother
to look after them.-Macmi,lan' Maca-
zine.
