LfncOIn's Laugh.

Senator Voorhees, says Of Lincoln /:
He had a great laugh-a high,
musical tenor; and when he had
listened to or told a story which partic-
ularly pleased him, he would walk up
and down the room, with one hand on
the small OF his back and the other
rubbing his hair in all directions, and
make things ring with laughter"

stood just what he was about. So he
followed as rapidly as he could. All at
once Rover came to a stand-still, wag-
ging his tail gleefully over blue sailor
hat, in which was a nest of little birds
with their mother. Mr.. Holt was sure
now that Rover knew best, and urged
him on. And in a few minutes they
came to little curly headed boy lying
fast asleep, and his face all swollen with
crying.
The next instant he was awake and
telling papa he was so hungry, and he
had found one nest of birds, and, when
he tried to find his way home, he could
not. As his father held him in his arms
and started for the long tramp back, two
big tears fell on the curly head, as he
thought of what would have happened
if it had not been for Rover.
All summer long, way out in the prai-
rie, was large square of wheat that the
machine never reaped; and in the midst
was the happiest family of little red
birds, whose home was in a blue sailor

as much for him as for thee. He had
as much right as thou to the pleas
ures of existence, but thou hast de-
prived him of all enjoyment Thou
hast treated him as though he had
no place nor portion assigned to him
by Providence except to do thy bid
ding. Moreover, thou hast compelled
him to minister to thy selfish advant-
age beyond his strength; and, instead
of kindness, thou hast given him in
return for his labor stinted proven
der and savage blows. Wherefore.
my sentence is, that henceforth he
shall be thy master, and thou shalt
be his slave. He shall have the pow
er to command, and thou shalt be
compelled in silence to obey. So
shalt thou be punished for thy wick
edness, and be taught by actual ex-
perience that dumb animals suffer
from unkindness, hunger and cold,
just as those do who have the faculty
of speech"
Then, turning to the gorillas, he
bade them lead their prisoner to an
adjoining field, and there compel him
to obey the commands of his former
servant.
Away started the monsters again,
grinning with delight, the one drag
ging aud the other driving their vic
tim; and, on their arrival at the field,
John shuddered more than he had
yet done at the prospect of his mis-
cry, for there were hundreds of his
fellow creatures in that field working
as speechless slaves for the animals
they had ill-used. All sorts of agri
cultural work were going on, but the
drudgery of all being done by human
beings. Teams of them were har
messed to heavy plows, harrows and
carts. Here and there pair of them
might be seen drawing in low We
hicle an aged horse or donkey; and
in a distant part of the field a group
of them were just starting for a
steeplechase, with monkeys on their
backs armed with sharp spurs. Cor
illas marched about everywhere like
policemen, to keep order and to drive
the teams; and their heavy whips
were necessarily cracking over the
bare shoulders of the poor slaves
The sight was so terrible that John
could not endure it even in his sleep.
He awoke-a sadder, and we hope
better man-Animdl World.

THE WOOD FROLIC.
BY CHARLES D. G. ROBERTS.

The morning Star was bitter bright. the morn
ing sky was gray
And we hitched our teams and started for the
woods at break of day.
Oh the frost is on the forest, and the snow piles
high!
Along the white and winding road the sled bells
tangled keen.
Retween the buried fences the billswy drifts
between.
oh. merry swing the axes. and the brig chips
fly
so crisp sang the runners, and so swift the
horses sped,
That the woods were all about us ere the sky
grew red
oh. the frost is on the forest and the snow piles
hight
The bark hung ragged on the birch, the lichen
on the fir,
The lungwort fringed the mape. the gray moss
the juniper.
oh, merry swing the axes and the bright chips
fyl
So still the air and chill the air the branches
seemed asleep,
But broke their ancient visions as the axe bit
deep,
On, the frost is on the forest and the snow piles
hight
With the shouts of the choppers and the bark
ing of their blades.
How rang the startled valleys and the raDDit-
hunted gladesl
Oh, merry swing the axes. and the bright chips
fyl
The hard WOO and the soft wood, we felled
them for our use;
And chiefly for its scented gum we love the
scaly spruce,
oh. the frost is on the forest, and the snow piles
hight
And here and there, with solemn roar some
hoary tree came down,
And we heard the rolling of the years in the
thunder of its crown
oh. merry swing the axes. and the bright chips
fyl
And soon again the winter world was voceless
as of old,
Alone with all the wheeling stars, and the great
white cold.
oh, the frost is on the forest, and the snow piles

LOST IN THE WHEAT.

1t was day in July. The thermome-
ter ran high in the nineties, and the air
was so oppressive that even the birds
and insects seemed to have entirely dis
appeared.
1t had been an unusually busy morn
ing for Mrs. Holt. She had been up
since three o'clock; tomorrow the har-
vesting would begin, and there were
great preparations going on. as in this
prairie home it was the gala time of all
the year, when the nearest neighbors
came to help gather the beautiful grain
that waved in the sunlight and covered
a thousand acres or more OF the sur
rounding country. Nothing but sea Of
yellow in every direction
Little six-year old Clifford thought
there never had been such a day since
he could remember. Mamma was 80
busy she did not want him in the kitch-
en-, and it was so hot out Of doors that
he could not play at all.
At last he ran to his mother, just as
she was making her last tin of biscuit,
and said:-
Mamma, please put me to bed. 1 am
so sleepy and tired. Rover is asleep;
and Kitty and l will go, too"
"Run away, Clifford am too busy.
If you are so sleepy, go upstairs and lie
down in your cot; but you had better
play until after dinner, and then take a
nap with me-"
Clifford did not like the idea of going
upstairs alone, so he ran outdoors to
play, as his mother had told him. But
the shade was only in such little place
by the house, and he would just go over
there by the wheat. 1t looked cooler
there, as the grain waved in the breeze.
So he trotted over the road to the edge
of the grain; and, sure enough, it really
was cooler. So he sat down in the shad-
ow of the tops, that stood four feet high.
AS he sat there, bis attention was at.
tracted by come little red-birds that
were flying hack and forth into the
wheat. Suddenly he remembered what
his papa had told him the night before
about these, birds who had built their
nests all through the grain. And Cliff
ford bad felt sc sorry for the baby birds
that would be so cruelty killed by the

custom, he dropped in at Fox q
Hounds to drink and gossip, leaving
his donkey outside the door. There
was a keen east wind blowing right
against the front Of the house, and a
scud of rain dashed now and then
upon the rough pavement, freezing
as it fell, and covering everything
that it touched with transparent
coat Of ice.
The poor animal had been in har-
ness for eight hours and had not
eaten a morsel of food since the
morning, so he moved anxiously from
side to side in search of something to
satisfy his hunger, but, finding no
thing he turned his tail to the wind,
dropped his ears almost to the level
of his eyes, and began to groan and
SILVER.
"Your donkey's got the ague,
john" said an acquaintance of his,
who entered the house just as John
was ordering his second pint OF beer;
CHS very bones were rafting and
shaking as | passed him just now;
the poor brute groaned as if he'd got
some heavy trouble on his mind"
",Tis bruises on his body, instead
of trouble on his mind that makes him
groan," said John, with a savage
grin. "Look at singer" and he held
up thick ashen stick, tipped with
sharp point. "He had touch or two
to-day that he won't forget, the lazy
brutel"
Thereupon John dried his mug re-
filled his pipe and left the house.
Presently heavy blows from the afore-
said "stinger" were heard above the
noise of the wheels as John drove off
from the door of Fox & Hounds, bella
boring his jaded beast at almost
every step. Then there was silence
suddenly and the donkey stood still
in the road. John had fallen as he
was attempting totake his seat in the
cart. and fractured his leg, so it was
now his turn to groan. Whether the
donkey kicked him down in return
for an application of the 'stinger" or
whether, as he himself afterwards
asserted, blow from an unseen hand
smote him to the ground, no one can
tell. Anyhow he was found lying in
the road about one hundred yards
from the public house groaning in
chorus with the donkey, the one be-
moaning his bruises and the other
his broken leg. He was lifted into
his cart, and conveyed as quickly as
possible to his own cottage, when
surgeon was soon in attendance upon
him. After his leg had been set he
fell asleep, and dreamed the follow
ing dream:
He was on his road to Oldbury
with a heavy load of firewood, and in
the act of shifting his donkey because
he stopped to take breath half way
up steep hill, when the animal
raised his nose toward the sky and
brayed three times. Thereupon two
hideous gorillas, one red and the
