THE FIELD-MICE.

One summer Jack went into the coun-
try with his mother and his sister Mabel
to spend the long summer months. He
was very busy from morning till night
helping feed the chickens, or chasing
the calves or hunting for hens eggs.
Sometimes he would be allowed to go
with the hired man to drive home
with the cows. or. when the haymakers
had filed the rack with hay, they would
put Jack and Mabel on top of the load.
and they would ride in glee to the barn.
The days seemed all too short for their
merry making; and every night the last
thing they said was, please waken me
very early; for l have so many. many
things to do morrow" But wish to
tell you of some strange pets that Mabel
and Jack had that summer.
One morning they received permission
to go into the field behind the house
and pick strawb berries. They worked
hard, and had almost filed their small
tin cups, when peep, peep!" sounded
right under Jacks feet. 1t was such a
faint little cry that he first bought it
was bird with a broken wing. He
pushed aside the grass and saw four
bright black eyes peering at him.
There, huddled close together, lay
four little mice.
mabel. Mabel! Here are come mice"
called Jack. They are the cunningest
little things. and are so young they can
hardly move. Come here and tell me
il you ever saw brighter eyes; and they
are crying as il they are hungry"
"Oh. the dear little things" exclaimed
Mabel, when she saw them. "How did
they come here? l thought mice always
lived on pantry shelves and places where
no one wants them"
these must be field-mice," replied
Jack. Il heard the farmer say the other
day that he had found a nest of field
mice. Let us wait until the father and
the mother mouse come home" So they
sat down and waited for the old ones to
come, but they failed to appear.
perhaps they are afraid of US. and
will not return while we are here. Let
US go to dinner. and then we will come
back and see them" said Jack.
When they returned after dinner. the
little ones were still alone and crying
piteously. So the children went back to
the house, and begged corn for the little
mice.
After feeding them. they brought
water, and tried to teach them to drink.

After supper they went again to see the
field mice, and still the old mice had not
returned.
I'll tell you what we must do" said
Jack. II am afraid the mother and
father mouse have been killed. Perhaps
cat has caught them. So we must
adopt these little mice, or they will de-"
The first thing every morning the
children would go to the field, and car
ry the mice their breakfast. Very soon
the little creatures would eat from their
hands. and became as playful and tame
as kittens. After time. as they grew
larger, the children carried them nute.
which the mice would crack with their
sharp. white teeth.
When the time drew near for leaving
the country, Jack and Mabel felt very
sorry to part with their little friends,
the field-mice. They begged their man.
ma to allow them to take the mice to the
city with them. But she would not
consent.
"But they have no house to live in!
What will they dor" said Mabel.
Then their mamma told them that
field-mice sleep through the entire win
ter. As soon as the cold weather begins,
they curl up like little balls. and. crawl
ing close to one another, dream the
whole winter long.
Sometimes, when a very warm, sun
shiny day melts the snow. the little
mice waken, and nibble some corn or
nuts which they have stored away for
the winter. Then they sleep on until
another warm day.
II will tell you very kind thing to
do said their mamma. "These field
mice will soon begin to lay in supply
OF corn and nuts for the winter. 1t
means great deal Of work for them to
carry so much food to their homes. So
you children can help them by placing
some food they like near their nests"
The day before Jack and Mabel left
the country they carried large quantity
of grain and nuts enough for a hundred
mice, the farmer said), and laid it beside
the field mice's nest. During the win
ter, whenever an unusually bright day
occurred, the children would say
Il suppose the field-mice wakened to
day, and ate some nuts and corn."-M

THREE SHIPS.

Three ships there be a. sailing
Betwixt the sea and sky;
And one is Now, and one is Then,
And one is By-and-By.
The first little ship is all for You
Its masts are gold. its sails are blue.
And this is the cargo 1t brings;
Joyful days with sunlight glowing,
Nights where dreams like stars are growing.
Take them, sweet. or they'll be goingl
For they every one have wings.
The second ship is all for me-
A-sailing on a misty sea
And out across the twilight gray.
What IL brought of gift and Blessing
Would not stay for my caressing-
Was too dear for my possessing,
So it sails and sails away.
The last ship. riding fair and high
Upon the sea is By-2nd-By.
o. Wind be kind, and gently blow!
Not too swiftly hasten thlther.
When she turns, sweet. you'll go with her
Sailing. floating. hither thither-
To what port may not know
