liant light, and climbing ever onward
till she had reached one of the highest
peaks she came to bright open fire,
round which were ~ large stones On
these stones were seated ~ men. Four
of them were old. with white hair; four
less old, and four were young men and
very handsome. They were all gazing
into the fire.
These men were the 10 months of the
year, and great January, who was seat
ed higher than the rest, had a long.
white beard and snowy hair. In his
hand he held a wand.
Mary at first was paralyzed with fear,
but after few moments Of stupor and
silence she regained her courage, and
approaching them said: "Men Of God,
allow me to warm myself by your fire.

Old January raised his head and said |:
"Why are you here, my maiden? What
do you seek?"
II am seeking violets." answered

January. "Do you not see snow lying
everywhere"
II know it is not, but my stepmother
and sister have sent me to the mountain
to gather them, and If cannot find any
they will kill me. / entreat you, ia
theirs, tell me where i can find some?'
Slowly old January rose from his seat
and approached one Of the younger men.
Putting his wand in his hand he said,
Brother March. seat yourself in my
place. -
March went and seated himself ON the
high stone and waved the wand over the
fire. At once the flames rose to the sky,
the snow melted, the trees began to bud,
while beneath them the grass grew green
and the ground was covered with prim-
roses and cowslips. 1t was spring and
the ground was quite blue with violets
that grew under the brushwood.

A widow lived with her two daugh-
ters, Mary and Helen. The former was
her stepdaughter by her late husband,
but Helen was a child by first mar
riage. OF Helen she was very fond, but
poor Mary she did not like at all, and
the more that she was much prettier
than her sister. AS the girl was not
vain, she could never understand why
her mother few in a rage every time
she looked at her, and why she had to
do all the work and drudgery Of the
household, while her sister Helen dress
cd herself and went from one amuse.
ment and entertainment to the other.
To all this unkind treatment from her
mother and sister Mary submitted with.
out reproach.
But her angelic resignation did not
soften their hearts. Every day they be-
came more harsh and exacting, and as
the years went by more unkind to her,
for Mary was growing more and more
beautiful, while Helen was older and
uglier. At last her stepmother thought,
II must chase her out Of the house, this
pretty orphan, or Twill never marry my
own daughter, as all the youths will
prefer Mary, and my girl will remain
an old maid" So both her mother and
sister determined to make her fathers
house unsupportable for the poor girl.
One day in midwinter Helen insisted
upon having violets from the forest.
"You will 60 to the forest, Mary, in
the mountain, and gather violets. Iwish

must be fresh and odorous. Do you
hear?" she cried in harsh voice.

ripe
my God, whoever heard that straw
berries ripened under the snow ~ cried
the orphan.
"Not word. II you do not bring me
the Strawberries soon, we will kill you.
Remember, you are warned.
After this threat her stepmother seized
her violently and thrust her out in the
courtyard, barring the door.
The wretched orphan, her eyes filed
with tears, began to climb the mountain
She already knew the way, and without
hesitation climbed up the peak. where
the IL months sat round the fire, old
January, as before, on the highest seat
"Men of God," she said, "let me
warm myself by your firel / am trem-

my stepmother and sister have ordered
me to bring them ripe Strawberries. Tell
me where can gather them"
Old January rose slowly from his seat,
approached the month that sat opposite
him, and giving him his wand said,
Brother June. seat yourself on the
highest stone.
The month of June went and seated
himself ON the stone that marked the
highest place. He waved his wand over
the fire and the flames rose to the sky.
In moment the snow was melted, the
ground covered with grass, while the
birds sang and the earth bloomed with
flowers in the forest.
Under the brushwood one saw innu-
merable little white flowers, thick as
though one had sowed them, and as one
looked the flowers changed to ripe fruit,
andall this in few moments of time,
so that Mary could hardly cross herself
before the ground was red with straw
berries, like sea of blood.
"Quick, quick, Mary, pick them 81
said the month of June.
Filled with joy, she began to gather
them, and soon had nice amount in
her apron, when, thanking the months,
she started joyfully homeward.
Helen and her mother were surprised
TO see her come home with the straw
berries.
"But where did you find them?" ask
ed Helen sourly.

and started for the mountain. Her
mother stood by the door and gazed aft
er her till she was lost to sight.
The ground was covered with snow
not human footstep was to be seen,
but after wandering here. now there,
Helen saw the flame Of the fire, far
above her, and began climbing. After a
short time she reached the peak of the
mountain and saw the fire, round which
the 10 months were sitting. At first she
hesitated and was frightened. but soon
recovering herself she went boldly to
the fire, and stretching out her hands
warmed herself without asking permits
sion or even noticing the I2 months.
"What brings you here and what seek
you?" asked old January sternly.
lyon have no right to question me,
old graybeard! Why do you wish to
know what l seekt" answered Helen
haughtily, and turning her head and
back to the fire she went toward the
forest.
Old January frowned and waved bis
wand over his head.
In the twinkling of an eye the sky
was filed with heavy clouds, the fire
burned low and large snowhakes began
to fall, while an icy wind howled through
the mountain. In the midst of this
dreadful storm Helen began to curse
her sister and call on the good GOD, al
she knew the cloak could not keep hel

while no voice answered to her loud
call. Long she wandered at hazard m
the snow. while it fell in avalanches and
an icy wind blew from the mountain
Mary in the meanwhile had cooked
the dinner and MIXED the COW, but
neither Helen nor her mother was to be
found.
Her daily work was now ended, the
day had gone and night was coming ON.

"Oh, my God" said the excellent
girl. and opened the window to look out.
The storm had ceased, the sky was
brilliant with stars, while the snow
glimmered like diamonds by their light
mot a trace of human being was to
be seen. Mary sadly shut the window.
She made the sign of the cross and pray
ed for her sister and stepmother. In vain
she waited for them at breakfast and
dinner. They never came.
Both Helen and her mother were
frozen in the mountain, and Mary in
herited the little cottage, the cow, and
a small field. 1t was not long before she
married an honest farmer, and they both
lived in peace and happiness ever after.

Here her stepmother added few cruel
words, and with vigorous blow pushed
her ont of the house and barred the door.
The poor orphan, weeping bitterly,
advanced toward the mountain. The
snow lay deep, and there was not the
slightest trace of human footsteps. Long,

trembling with cold and praying to God

CuriOug showers.

NJ. Peltier has put d frog shower on rec
ord as having happened within his own eX-
perience. He speaks of seeing the frogs
fall ON the roofs of the houses and rebound
thence on to the pavement below. A mud
shower occurred along the Union Pacific
railway at Onaga on the 4th of April. The
rain, we are assured, commenced early in
the day, and soon the south and east sides
of all the houses were covered with yellow
clay.
A Union Pacific train which ran through
the storm had its windows covered, and
the headlight was so completely plastered
that the light was shut in, and the train ran
In darkness into Rossville, where the mud
had to be scraped off. AS far east as Tope-
ka the windows showed that the edge OF
the mudstorm had extended this far. 1t il
said to have been even more severe so miles
northwest.
Blood rain aud black rain are only varie-
ties of this phenomenon. OF the latter we
hear nothing worth speaking of nowadays,
but an almost historic shower of this sort
fell at Montreal in the earlier part of this
century and enveloped the then youthful
city in black pail, which must have been
worse than prime London fog, seeing that
it gave the inhabitants the idea that the
last day had come, OF was at least on the
point of coming.
Blood rain is caused by the presence of
infinitely little plants, animacules, or min.
erals in the globules. In one instance of q
shower that fell at Bristol and in the
Bristol channel the analytical examina
ton showed that the red color was due tc

rain was prodigy. In the east it was con
nected with the belief that man was pro
duced from blood that fell from heaven
