 Minnie is a wen. healthy girl, but is always discontented and having trou- ble. She complains that her doll is not as pretty as the one given to her younger sister on her birthday, and Lucy Earle has new blue silk dress for Sundays. while her mamma insists that her dark cashmere is' much more appropriate for a child of her age

Trying to outwit the Cat.

An old cat was in a fair way to kill all the mice in the barn.
 One day the mice met to talk about the great harm that she was doing them. Each one told of some plan by which to keep out of her way.
 Do I say" said an old gray mouse that was thought to be very wise. Do as l say. Hang a bell to the cats neck. Then when we hear it ring we shall know that she is coming. and can scamper out of her way.'
 Good, Good," said all the other mice: and one ran to get the bell.
 Now which of you will hang this bell on the cats neck" said the old gray mouse
 NNot I, Not r" said all the mice together. and they scampered away to their holes.
