The tiny nest of hair and straw, Designed and built by nature’s law. A vacant home, and lovely still, Phough’ buffeted by winds at will; A finished work of wondrous skill, A thing of beauty to conceive, ‘With -only beak to form and weave, A dream of art, so soon to leave.

Pa ain't afraid of lions or of bears ; STORIES WRITTEN BY WIDE- AWAKES. A Foolish Tom Cat. One day a lady gave my mother a big yellow and white tom cat. We kept it in the cellar, so it would get used to us. One day it ran away and went home again. The lady who gave it to us would not let it in the house or feed it. My mother gave it good warm milk and meat, but it did not want to stay with us. We'd go after it almost every day and it would not stay. It is a good cat_for mice. Its name is Tommy. Now, don't you think he is a foolish cat? want me, and some good people did, I would stay with them. We once had a vellow tom cat, and a big black and white dog bit it, and it died. We want a yellow cat. We think they are the best for mice. DELIA LEPAGE, Age 9. Attawaugan, The Mischievous Monkeys. A man once chanced to stop at a southern hotel where they had a pet monkey which was always playing tricks upon the guests, One morning, early, the man was awakened out of a sound sleep by a noise similar to this: “Swish, swish, swish.” Not knowing about the monkey he suspected it was a burglar, so he got up and lit a light and armed himself with a revolver and stepped into the hall to see what w going on, Greatly to his surprise he found a monkey “instead Kr a burglar, as he had suspected.

All Wide-Awakes are old enough to cultivate good cheer: but all of them, perhaps, do not know how to do it. No boy or girl ever cultivated good cheer by being cast down and making themselves miserabie because they cannot have their own way. way is net alwayvs the best way, when we are grown up. It is a bad habit taking form when a boy or a- girt géts vexed and then iséeps morose whenever they are disap- pointed. Disappointments aré among the very commonest things of life and they are most of them like the white- faced bumble-bee, without a sting, if you have 3 mind to think so. Getting down-hearted is a bad hab- it, and I expect the men and women who expect to die every night when they go to bed and are surprised ev- ery bemoan that they must live one more day., and still go -right on living,, Jign’t take their disappointments right when they were boys and girls. It is just as easy to Keep sweet as even it is to get sour if you will give the~ matter attention. The way you frame your mind puts shine or shadow into life. fenses and keep a revengeful feeling yom will grow into a person who will | take more pleasure in the Day of Wrath than in the Day of Mercy. Here is a saying which should never be forgotten: “The only man who is down in this world iz the man who thinks he is down!” R Learn to bear up under disappoint- ment. Learn to frame up a smile | where the world expects to see a erimace. Do not let Old What's- the- | Use get hold of you, for if you do you are do¥%n and out. It is the chilly thought that takes, cheer out of the hesrts of men and makes all their efforts vain. “Brace up!” is ene of the finest of companions, one of the most depend- able of friends. Do not iote around with you aanoy- @nces, chills and pains for -others, for if you do you will be welcome nowhere and will get to thinking the world is @gzinst vou when the truth is you are againat yourself—your own worst ene- - LETTERS OF ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

His home Wwas on a big farm and he helped with the work ir many wax One day the family all went to town and left Brave at home to take care of things. There was no fence about the farm, for fences, you know, cost a great deal of money, and Brave's owrners had just gone out to the great new northwest country to make a home for themselv: and had ver little money to end.

A father and son were once sit ting under a tree upon a hill. It was near sunset, and a flock of sheep were quietly grazing by. -While grazing a strange man appeared, and with him a dog. The sheep upon seeing the dog, plunged into Eome thorny bushes, and tore off some of their wool. The boy, on seeing the wool, troubled and sald, “See, father, how the thorns tear the wcol from the poor sheep.
