There were the golden peoples, the velvet robed wild pansies, the beautiful grass flowers, the bravely fringed blue chicory-all the sweet sis terhood of the fields.
 Smiling at the wonderment of little Goldilocks, they crowded closer to the fountain and caught the sparkling drops as they fell. Every drop had it's own separate perfume No flower caught other than its own proper odor. But the flowers had to dodge so to effect this that the scene was as if some play full breeze had suddenly started all the towering meadows of the univerSe' to curtseying and lowing at once.

THE CHERRY BIRD.
BY MARY GEORGE
LOS GATOS,

Our little girl of summers four
 Plays with her doll in the open door:
 The cherrybird in the tTellis, vine
 Sings his song from a throat like mine. Dashes of red are on breast and head.
 Why is he singing" our little one
 .Over a nest hid in the tree.
 A little gray bird, his mate, you see.
 Is home in the snug little nest,
 Caring for birdies, doing her best;
 To cherrybird, her heart to cheer,
 Loudly sings when none is near. He looks out for bugs and berries, Picks for them the ripe red cherries; And feeds them ev'ry day until Little cherrybir have their dll. Of cherries red; when there is none The Cherrybird looks, but cant find one Then birdies tumble out of the home To hunt for bugs and berries alone. Two are gray that fall out of bed, And two have caps of scarlet red With nests to match; these are the boys That sing and sing to make a noise For little girls that sit in the door, To hear their songs of joy outpour. All day long in the summer vine, Cherrybird sings from throat like mine.
