Country Wake and Evening Work.

Country Wake and Evening Work. Dear Uncle Jed: It seems too bad to think autumn is about to leave us. think it is a delightful season, as the woods are beautiful to those who en- joy trip to them. A few days ago my sister and and two of our girl friends met together and we decided to go for a walk. First we went to one of their barns to look Tor kitten. but could not find it. so as the scales were up in the barn we all got weighed before coming out.
 We went to see the cattle next There were a hundred or more. We then went to the stable and saw the horses.
 Our youngest girl friend asked one horse that had taken them to Oyster Bay the day before if he went to Oys- ter Bay, and he shook his head the same as a person does when meaning year. She then asked him if he want ed something to eat, and he did the same. The other horses would not do this. so I think he must have been taught.
 1 After leaving the stable we took a 1 greatly enjoyed. I like to see the different colored leaves and watch the squirrels carrying nuts. Finally 1t commenced to rain. so we walked back with our friends to their house and then went home
 I think leaves that are not too dry are nice to use.s I am going to mem | tion some instances in which they can be made use of. They are nice to press | between the pages of books, or to dec | crate the table. If anyone wishes to | have an indoor camping party, leaves are just the thing to spread on the | floor, by spreading newspaper or some thing else on the floor first. os that nothing will get soiled. Leaves are also nice to draw or trace. | Now that Christmas is drawing near. for those who like to sew a pin | cushion cut the shape of leaf would make pretty little gift. am going to write how I spend my | evenings now, and I hope after some of the Wide Awakes read this letter | they will write how they spend theirs. 1 After I have written my advanced shorthand. l practice my music, and | the rest of the evening I spend in either writing letters to Uncle Jed or reading some of the books he has sent me.
 One evening last week I looked over my postcards and picked out what l Thanksgiving cards had, as our Sun day school teacher wants them to send | to an orphanage.
 I hope all will spend a pleasant | JESSIE L. BREHAUT. East Norwich. N. Y.
 Trifles Make Up Pcrfection-Perfectio
 it No Trifie. Dear Uncle Jed: I typewrote thi! work during my idle moments at higi school:
 Work on while yet the sun doth shine
 Thou man of strength and will,
 For golden hours are fleeting by,
 And youth is passing still.
 Soon will this busy life be OCT,
 And earth recede from view,
 And heaven with all its glory shine | Where all is pure and true. Ahi then you'll understand full wei ] The proverb deep and vast, The mill will never grind again 1 With the water that Is past"
 Patient and persistent labor has it
 reward. When Michael Angelo hal
 worked for weeks and months upon
 wonderful statue, a friend who hai
 seen it at a previous visit came agail to the studio and asked: What hay you done?"
 Angelo replied: q have brought ou
 a shadow here, and I have touched III
 a muscle there, and I have change,
 the position of the limbs in this smal particular"
 Certainly" replied his friend, ''
 can see all this, but these things ar
 only trifies."
 That is true" said the great scu1p tor, but remember that trifies mak up perfection. but perfection is n
 trifle."
