Lear's Nonsense Book.

The great John Ruskin placed Edmund
Lear and his nonsense books at the head of
a list of 100 authors he liked best saying
there was no other to whom. for his idle
self, he was half so grateful When this
charming artist and author died at San
Reno, Italy, a great wave of sorrow went
over the land because one who made life
brighter for old and young had passed
away.
He was the youngest of twenty-one chill
dren, and began painting birds card
board at very early age. One day the
Earl of Derby saw him drawing the por-
trait of a bird in one of the public gardens,
and asked him to come and draw his birds.
There he'made his first book of rhymes and
drawings, whose way through the world
might be tracked by the sunlight that fol-
lowed it, and the pearls of merry laughter
that met and sped il on its way. Grown
well little children love those who
have given them good laughs, and so 1t
came 70 pass that when his busy brain
ceased to weave merry stories and sp n
witty rhymes for his droll pictures. the
young wept with the old and the old with
the young, knowing there would be less
sunshine in the world now that he was
gone.
'The Story of the Four Little Children
who went Round the World and The
History of the Seven Families" are too
to think of them. THE Owl and the Pussy
Cat" was dearly loved in the Nonsense
Book long before it was known in the
musical world. I. he New York Mendelssohn
Club, made up of members 600 of gentle
men devoted to music, gives one concert
year for their friends, no tickets being sold.
One of the members had set the Cru Sc of
the Owl and the Pussy Cat to music for
his children. A friend secured the score
and had it printed, without his knowledge.
and brought it out to his surprise, at one
of these concerts.
Forty finely trained voices made the air
ring with the melody, which soon echoed
from Maine to Georgia with a thrill that
has not yet died out. You should have
heard the bald heads sing it," said critic
who was present; you would have clapped
for more with the rest" A friend, repeat
ing to Mr.. Lear, one day, the lines begin

said it was a form of verse on which end
less changes could be rung. Whereupon
the great artist rhymer rang out III verses

other each droller than the last. until in

he darted out of the line. dragging the two
bewildered pigs after him.
Marcia, quick. take one of them and
come and walk to the blessing with me-, he
said. Here take this one, he is the pret-
test. but hold him very tightly; he wants
to run away and pulls hard"
They were soon back in place. hand in
hand, and surely there was no one in that
procession quite as happy as the ragged
little girl, with the lively pig doing his best

Slowly the long line wound its way up
the steep hillside, where far above them
stood the bishop. already giving the bless

Marcias heart began to give quick little
throbs, and she held Ignacio's hand more
tightly. At last they were in front of the
priest. who looked with kindly amusement
at the two little figures as they knelt and
held as tightly possible the two strug

The little girl was silent with happiness
as they turned homeward, and Ignacio's y

with sense of perfect contentment with

are confronted by monster who glareS
at them with big, red eyes. They pretend
TO be very much afraid, but are really de-
lighted and pelt him with apples till finally
he is conquered and falls to the floor, show
ing himself to be only pumpkin and red
wax candle. The fun goes on. Apples are
hanging from the ceiling on long strings.
and children are trying to take bites out of
them, with hands tied behind, and Just as
the child thinks he will be rewarded for so
much trying with a luscious bite the apple
swings away, which is great fun for the
others. In another part of the room some
are making equally futile attempts to take
apples from tub of water with the mouth,
and In consequence are wet but very
happy. All this while the popcorn has been
merrfly singing its song of Pop, pop, pop."
and on large table is a snowy popcorn
mountain which quickly disappears when
the children get permission to tackle il.
All too soon the bell rings, which calls
them to their dormitories. The door is
opened and, behold, we are barricaded. For
a moment every one stands in surprise.
Then the laugh breaks out again, and all
the little hands go to work to make ssn
opening. Soon things begin to move.
Boxes perform curious evolutions as thew
come topping down, barrels bound down
the steps and roll away up the walk pur-
sued by noisy children; but in half an hour
sleepy heads are all in bed, lights are ont

OF that happy night will last for MANY a

voice. 'It is getting too warm to do house

time in pulling them Off. and then If they
must have them why don't the people who
pick them off the vine pull OF the caps
while they are about it.
Spreading a newspaper over the table
she emptied all the boxes, but before she
began such a brilliant thought struck her
that she went to her mother and exclaimed:
Say. mamma, wouldn't 1t be funny II
strawberries were as polite as the boys
You know they always take off their caps
whenever a girl comes near them. ana
when they are in the house they always
leave them off," She thought she would
imagine she was teaching them to be very
courteous when helping them to remove
their caps
Going back to the berries. she was just
ready to cap the first when-she seemed to
see little red, radiant face laughingly
looking into hers, and then a little arm
reached up and off came the tiny cap; she
was so surprised that she dropped the
berry and actually held her breath-what
would happen next? After rubbing her
eyes she looked carefully at the others ly-
ing on the table. and each cap was imme- ne
diately whipped off and laid beside the lit
tie beaming berry face. AS quick as
flash Flo grabbed all the caps and threw
them into an empty box-the strawberries
were capped in less than five minutes
Flo! Flo! called you an hour ago and
thought you had finished the berries by this
time, and here you have not even been near
them. Come down and fix them immediate
ly, do you hedr!' ana MRS. waters WeHt
into the kitchen to get things ready for her
daughter.
This time poor Flo had to remove the
caps herself and had no bright little races
to look at. Strawberries had only once
been polite and that was-a dream.
THE DOG THAT woRl-s FOR HIS
COUNTRY
Dear Aunt Dorothy:
Out west there is dog who really works
for the United States. he railroad sta
tion Is only a little way from the post
Office, where Don" spends most of his
time. The mail trains do not stop, but
they drop the mali bags on the platform
as they go by. AS soo- as DON hears
the whistle of the mail train he knows
just what to do. He hurrys away, going
across lots, even If hhe has to wade little
brook when the water is high. He never
is behind time and is nearly always two
or three minutes ahead of time for the
train to reach the station. He keeps his
eye on the mail car, and as soon as the
mail clerk kicks the bag out or the car
door Don rushes up to 1t. and taking IT
carefully by the middle, so that neither
end drags on the ground, he walks soperiy
up to the post Office, and this time going
by the beaten path. He always carries II
to the right place, puts 1t down ana looks
at 1t with an air of satisfaction. He has
done his duty and earned pat on the
head from his kind master. Good, faith
| full Don! He does his very best l wonder

To Golden Town.
AIR" "Babbling Brook


Put on your bonnet and silken gown,
That we may be OF to Golden Town,
To swing on Its gate-'twfl ride us free
As 1t lets ships in, then cut to sea.
This Golden Gate is Of opal spray
That kisses the sky, then melts away;
IT'S built with beams the shines through
It's diamond lock has crystal key,
Which opens the gate out to the sea;
Its hinges are mists Of pearly hue,
'Tis painted the color of ocean blue.
To fill our pockets with golden sand,
That may buy a gray goose to lay
A golden egg for us every day.
Come hasten to climb its rainbow bar
To watch the sun set in his golden car;
But fore he drives of with clear daylight
Let's see that the gate swings to all right.
That it's anchored deep-let us all hope
And chained down strong with yellow rope
OF poppies, that brighten the hills like gold;
Then the gate surely will you and me shold.
Wen see that its sunlight posts, SO round,
To pink seashelis are firmly bound;
Well whistle white Wings careful to be.
When they op'n the gate to sail the sea.
For suppose the gate should drop in the sea!
IT would scare all the fishes away, maybe, 81
Unless, indeed, they liked rich bait,
And stayed to nfbble the Golden Gate.
But that wouldn't matter to you nor me,
For we'd 60 fishing, the gate. you see,

And swing, and swing golden hours away.

DUTY FIRST.
Uncle Charlie had little pet dog that
always came the moment it was called.
One day Uncle Charlie thought he would
put the little dogs obedience to the test,
SO he told his servant to put a plate of
mutton chops on the floor for him. The
servant did so, and the little dog came
running to the plate, for he was very hun
cry. But just as the poor thing was think
ing what fine treat he was going to have
and was about to help himself to the meat
his master called him away.
The little dog heard the call and looked
wistfully at the chops, They were nice
and fresh from the butcher shop and GER
tainly very tempting to hungry dog. The
little creature knew that the first duty was
from the plate of meat without touching it
and ran to see what was wanted, not with
his tail between his legs, but wagging it
so pleasantly that it just meant a smile
That little dog, 1 think, was deservedly
a favorite; and it would be well if all little
folks followed his example, doing what
they know to be their duty first before
seeking their own pleasure or gratifica-
ton. More than once I have heard a
mother call her little girl, who has an
swered, Yes, mamma" but never gone
She was busy dressing her doll, perhaps,
or undressing it for bed, or just finishing
her lessons and did not wish to leave
them, or putting the last touch to the pic
ture she had been painting and wanted to
complete it.
When little folks do so they are pleasing
Duty first and pleasure afterward," chill
dren, and that is the way to be truly
happy. LILLE MlLLER,
Aged fourteen years.
