urb who, ragged, hatless, and shoe
less, but quite unconscious Of any
deficiencies, were bubbling over with
bits of knowledge picked up at the
public schools, from which fragmen-
tary lore their busy brains had
wrought quaint deductions. They
had been hearing scraps Of Grecian
mythology, and were full of the
wonderful story of Pegasus, the
winged horse, who, as the legend
runs, first touched the earth on the
Acropo1is in Corinth, and finally few
back to heaven. The smallest of the
trio explained that Pegasus couldn't
travel on the dirt road because he
was made for the sky road. Looking

For the wind is funny fellow;
He rollicks and shouts when skies
are gray
And leaves are turning yellow.
The pines, a moment ago SO still,
Fling out their arms and laugh with
a will,
Nodding their heads, as who should
say,
1.-THE old wind has an amusing way"
lob, the windy day Is singing day!
For the wind is minstrel, stroll

Through field and wood, with CHEEKY

Insistent, sweet, cajoling;
|The strings of his harp are pine and

AS he chants his tale to the woodland
folk
All, jewellers of old are they
When the minstrel wind begins to
play!
Oh. the windy day is the vagrant's
day!s
For the wind is a comrade rover,
Whistling down the great highway
To every hil1-road lover;
And whether he whistles or laughs
or sings,
Through every vagrant heart there
rings
The impelling, world-old call t.

With the comrade wind for ever and

IT'S quite a straight and easy road
That leads TO Grumbietown.
And those who wish can always find
A chance TO journey down.
IT'S customary for the trip
To choose q rainy day
When weather's fine ones not so apt
To care to go that way.
Just keep down Fretful Lane until
You come to Sulhy Stile.
Where travellers often like TO rest
In silence for awhile.
And then cross over Pouting Bridge,
Where Don't Care Brook flows
down,
And just a little way beyond
You come to Grumbletown.
From what I learn this Grumble-
town
Is not a pleasant place;
One never hears a cheerful word,
Or sees a smiling face.
The children there are badly spoiled.
And sure to fret and tease,
And all the grown-up people. too.
Seem cross and hard to please.
The weather rarely is just right
In this peculiar spot;
IT'S either raining all the time,
Or else too cold, or hot.
The books are stupid as can be;
The games are dull and old;
There's nothing new and nothing
nice
In Grumbletown, I'm told.
And so I've taken pains. my dears

That you may all be very sure
