In the woods In winter Time.

As we wound along the little woodland
stream that slipped so softly by we could
scarcely hear it. We saw what had become
of hosts and hosts of leaves of all varieties.
The little stream had drowned them with
out murmur, and now they lay brown,
red and amber, on the shallow bed, look
ing brighter than when they futtered. dry
and nesting, along the ground. There
were great leaves Of the sycamore (which
must be thirsty tree, since it is so often
found by running water), leaves broad as
a giants hand, brown AS leather and with
the smell of wet leather. There were also
large grapevine leaves, with curious pat
terms wrought upon them by some insect
-seallops and serollwork and fantastic sig
gag lines. There We're dark red oak leaves,
many of which had round little balls
growing upon them, and in every ball was
the egg of an insect called the gall fly.
Then we recalled how the stately wands of
the goldenrod which we had noticed in the
lane would often have round. very hard
woody growth in the middle of the stem.

Little Sisters Tact.

Dumb motions are at times misleading,
fact illustrated by this pathetic story
told TO the author of A Winter Cruise In
Summer Seas by a great man as remi-
niscence OF his nursery days.
One morning he and his sister were
watching from the window knife grinder
at work ON his double pedaled n thine.
The father, who was nearsighted ;.ld had
almost lost his hearing, came and stood
between them Presently the knife grind
er, having finished the job, got off his seat
and was preparing to go away.
The father, who had mistaken the man
for hand organ grinder, gave the nurse q
few pence, saying, ASK him to play the
children one more tune :"
The boy laughed, but his sisters sad
look stopped him. Quick as lightning,
with that tact which nature has bestowed
upon the gentler sex, she snatched the
money from the nurses hand, ran across
to the knife grinder, and by the aid of her
pence persuaded him to stop and sharpen
one more knife.
This he did, remonnting his machine
and slowly pedaling as before. Then dis.
mounting once more the fellow, appreciat-
ing his part, touched his hat TO the father
in itinerant musician style and went his
way.
