Innuisitiva Shean.

One day a flock of sheep were left
for a little while without anyone to
look after them, and so. of course,
they must get into some kind of mis-
chief.
An old gentleman had come out
with his camp stool and book to have
nice quiet read in a sheltered cor
ner. He had his lunch in his pocket
some sandwiches and buns.
A little lamb, who had been petted
by the children, and knew what buns
were like and thought them very nice,
smelled these in the old gentleman's
pocket, and told the old sheep; and
then, of course, they all came to smell,
and see if they could get at the buns;
and the poor gentleman had to run
away.

The Common Butteroup,

The buttercup sighed a little dis
couraged sigh as it swayed Imply in
the breeze. 1t felt very sad, so sad,
indeed that a big tear formed in the
center Of its yellow cup and sparkled
like a diamond in the sunshine.
The breeze paused sympathetica1ly,
and murmured in it's softest, sweet
est tone:
Wont you tell an old friend. dear
buttercup why you are so sad? Per-
haps 1 can help you, for I am indeed
sorry you are troubled"
The buttercup smiled gratefully at
the breeze, but the smile ended up in
sigh as it said:
ooh, its no use! I'm just common,
unloveIy flower and nobody wants me
I never realized how common 1 am
till this morning when a little girl
passed with her arms filled with lilies
and bleeding hearts. She looked at me
and said, These buttercups just make
me sick! A whole field full of ugly
yellow flowers. They're so common!'
Perhaps she didn't know that under
stood, but I did, I did! And I'm so I'M
happy"
The breeze understood and sympa-
thized, for it rocked the butteCcup in
its arms, very gently, caressing the
golden petals; and then 1t went its
way meditating on the manners of
human beings.
Pretty soon the breeze saw a young
girl seated on a stone by a brook list
ening thcughtfulIy to the music of the
water as it rippled and gurgled over
the sand stones.
'Just the person I want" thought
the breeze, and going up to the girl
it told her the story of the little but
tercup, whispering the words in her
ear as it famed her with it's own de-
lightful GOODNESS.
Poor little buttercup," said the
girl when the breeze had finished its
little story. Wont you take me to
it, dear breeze?" So the breeze took
the girl to the buttercup and then
left her there feeling sure she would
comfort the lonely little flower
The girl knelt beside the flower and,
taking the yellow cup in her hands,
shook out the big dewy tear. Then
she said:
DO you not know that you are
beautiful. Your petals are like living
gold-your color is as condensed sun
shine. You are the personifcation of
joy-this whole wonderful field of YOU
nodding and smiling among the green
grass and the daisies. People pass
ing along the road-peopIe who are
weary in body and in souI-see you
and their hearts are gladdened for you
remind them of God, you make them
think that they were young once.
She who called you ugly and common
had a soul too small to know true
beauty. So brace up, dear buttereup!
Be glad and those who see you will be
glad ,too,'
And the buttercup felt a throb of joy
it lifted it's head happily and smiled
up at the sun.

One Good Turn Deserves Another.

One Good Turn Deserves Another.
1t was a very sunny day and pass
ing along the shore we could hear the
merry laughter of children busy with
their mud pies and digging wells
But here we stopped and listened
Was that scream of some one? We
hurried to the shore, and there a wo-
man was in the deepest spot of the
river screaming for help.
A little girl, who was standing by
and saw the peril in which the woman
was, lost not a moment, leaped into
the river, and brought the unconscious
woman to shore. She was soon re-
lieved by the help of other people.
Two months passed and the lit
tie girl was eleven years old. Many
people came and brought her presents,
but the little one was sad, though she
did not tell what she wished.
Soon the door opened and in walk
ed the woman she had saved; and
whom she wished to see. She ran
to the door and embraced her with
kind words, and once more there was
a happy CLEAN in her eyes. But among
her presents was six beautiful silver
bells, which were presented to her
from the woman who she saved, and
this was her motto: "One good turn
deserves another"
