Days when all is mournful. and days
when all is bright;
Days I have happy heart, and dance
and go a-singing, q
And days I've naught but trouble from
the morning till the night.
Up days and down days; wise days and
silly days;
Days I lose my playthings. and days I
bump my head;
Days I know my lessons, and jolly times
are plentiful,
And days cry for nothing, and get sent
up to bed.
Big days and little days; young days and
old days;
Days that come and days that go. a long
and passing train;
And days when am grown up. like days
when I am little,
Will still be sad or happy. full Of sum
shine or Of rain.
Days. days. and more days; my lifetime
will be full Of them;
And to make the sunshine brighter, and
the darkness seem less drear;
To make more bright than dark days, more
glad days than sorry days,
I've stout heart to welcome them, and q

HELEN's GRASS PLOT.
It Was Quite Pretty Until Her Pet
Worms Interfered with Her Sue
cess as q Gardener.


Helen loved to play on the grass, and
it troubled her greatly when it became
hard and dry and brown in winter.
How unpleasant it looked! In some
places it was ''frost-bitten," in others
it looked as if ''the moths had been at
it, Helen said. There were great bare
places, sometimes as big as your hand,
sometimes a foot square, all over the
grass that used to be SO pretty last
June. Somebody suggested: "Why
not have grass plot in the house?''
That was q fine idea! Auntie had
her flowers, mamma had her birds. A
little girl surely could take care of a
grass plot!
A box was procured, about four by
three feet, and in it the earth was care
fully prepared and grass seed planted.
After some days the tiny green spears
began to appear, until, before long
oh, joy in the house and in Helen's
window!-there was lovely green
grass plot. A charming expanse of col
ors, and Helen kept it there in good
condition all winter.
She watered it regularly, kept it in
plenty of sun to .help the water to
make it grow" She cut it at certain
intervals all over with auntie's scis-

sors. And one day when the door was
shut she INDUCED long-cherished
wish.
She planted her small feet carefully
up and down on the soft grass, walking
on grass as tender and yielding as if
the month were May and not January!
She was very careful when she did
this, because, to Helen's delight, two
lovely brown worms had come to live
in her grass plot. Where they came
from nobody knew, but they were
there! And Helen sometimes consider
ately dropped few crumbs for them
among the grass, where no doubt the
worms discovered them.
There is some reason to think that
the worms believed that the grass plot
and the sun and the water and Helen's
bread crumbs were all intended for
their sole benefit, and that to make
them comfortable home was Helen's
only duty. This was Helen's idea, for
the worms grew quite fat and bold;
and finally Helen was quite willing to
have them put out into the garden to
hide themselves as best they could in a
corner. They were too conceited and
needed punishment. But that is the
way with worms! rooklyn Eagle.

While a gang of workmen were re-

the Pennsylvania railroad, large Dull
made its appearance and scattered
them in every direction. For about half
an hour there was running fight be-
tween the men and the bull. He was inn
pervious to showers of rocks and an
occasional crack from a shovel, and
finally the men were forced to retreat
up an embankment. Just then q heavy
freight train hove in sight, and the
bull stationed himself in the middle of
the track. The engineer blew warning
blast; the bull, accepting this as chal-
lenge, sent back defiant below. Then
there was a collision. The train went
on .serenely, while the bull-where was
that misguided animal? Then the men
came Gown the embankment and re-
sumed work.
