THE SQUIRRELS.

Hard by the Poland Springs House is-a beauti-
full grove of 'pine trees which nod and whisper
good morning to the cool breeze that comes
from the east, that blows out the lamps of night
aud good evening to the setting sun when it is
rolled by the hand of the cmnipotent into the
shining valley beyond the purple hills. To this
cool spot hundreds of guests retreat after the
dinner hour and carry with them nuts for the
numerous grey squirrels that play upon the green
sward and run into their laps for nuts, which if
cracked they eat, but if not they carry away to a
hiding place. The proprietors say the squirrels
eat more nuts from the table than the guests.

Florence Harris, a little girl nine
years of age who lives with w. A..

well 35 feet deep which contained
about six feet of water. The child
did not lose all nerve, give and
quietly drown, but seized the well
rope and climbed it to within five
feet of the top. A couple of boys,

by noticing the rope on the wind

out. She escaped from her fall
