They all ran out to the garden and Sarah showed them the spot. psuddo‘nly they heard a terrible clat- ter in the tree. They looked up and what should they see but a jackdaw, clattering as only he could. The wind had blown away his nest, and it lay just a little way from where the pearls had been found. In it were Aunt Kate's scissors, a silver thim- ble, and a few other things. They found out that the robber had got in through the window which Violet al- ways kept open. Now that the thief was unmasked, and the pearls found, Violet promised that for the future she would always keep the little win- dow opposite the elm tree, closed to intruders.

UNCLE JED'S TALK TO WIDE- AWAKES, i# quite a natural disposition to uvy those whose parents are rich. Somehow there is a feeling that they have better advantages,and less trou- bles, that they have success cut out for them and are bound to be called to places of importance. Such, however, doesn't always prove to be the case. The children of poor parents make a mistake in harboring such ideas, for there are plenty of ex- amples which show that the sons of “I think, boys,” said the schoolmas- ter, when the clock struck twelve, “that I shall give you an extra half holiday this afternoon.” * The boys led on and headed by the tall boys, rai a great shout, in the midsz of which the master was seen to speak, but could not be heard. As he held up his hand, however, in token of his wish that they should be silent, they were good enough to leave off, as soon as the longest wind- ed among them were quite out of breath. i “You must promise me, first,” said the schoolmaster, “that you’ll not be noisy, or. at least, if you are, that you'll go away_and be so—away out of the village, T mean.’ There was a general murmur the negative. "Then, pray don't forget, my dear stholars,” “said the schoolmaster, “what I have asked vou, and do it as It en in A Trip to the Catskilis. While visiting in Kingston, N.

It was indeed a pretty sight, and brought to my mind the story of Rip Van Winkle.

This has been the first winter in a long time that we have !’lld such a good time sliding. There is a long steep hill out back of my house, and we used to slide there ev- ery day. Saturday afternoons there was a large crowd from the village, men, women and chiidren, slide Some had snow shoes, and ethers had skils, and it was fun to see them slide like ‘the wind. One man gave my brother a slide on the skiis, standing my brother on in front of him and holding onto him tight. Brother said they went so fast that he dared not g0 again. We went sliding until two Weeks ago when we had quite an ae- cident, so mether said we had better not glide there any more. Soon the snow will all leave.
