A Little story from which You Cnu

National Rural Magazine.
One day a woll-fed and sagac!ous rat
came across an object made OF stout
wires. whose sole occupation seemed To
be to take care OF a liberal piece Of cheese,
Having had several years experience with
men and their Vaccinations, the rat
looked the ground over with great care.
and no was still engaged in this occups-
ticn when mouse appeared and wanted
TO know what was up.
"Why the fact ~, replied tho rat, Il

some one to come along and accept 4 por-
ton"
you are very generous" said The
mouse
Don't mention It. Just step inside and
pass the cheese out. will you?"
Tho mouse no sooner ulhbled at the
bait th1n there was a crash and he found
himself trapped
"Ah! that's the way It works, Is IT,
queried the rat. 81 couldn't just make 1t

In great agitation.

Hope we shall have a large harvest

THE MOON BABY.

There's a beautiful golden cradle,
That rocks in the rose-red sky,
i have seen it there in the evening air,
< Where the bats and beetles fly;
With little white clouds for curtains,
And pillows OF fieecy wool,
And a dear little bed for the Moon Baby S
head,
So tiny and beautiful.
There are tender young stars around 1t.
That wait for their bath of dew
In the purple tints that the suns warm
prints
Have left on the mountain blue
There are good little gentle planets.
That want to be nursed and kissed,
And laid to sleep in the ocean deep,
Under silvery folds Of mist.
But the Moon Baby first must slumber,
For he is their proud young king;
So. hand in hand. round his bed they
stsnd.
And lullabies low they sing.
And the beautiful golden cradle
Is rocked BY tho winds that stray,
With pnions soft from the halls aloft,
Where the Moon-Baby lives today
