who lay there on thecititf that summer after
noon, with eyes uplifted to. the tree branches
where a, brace of bobolinks sung cheerily.
Just then the birds struck up a lively duet;
and when. the girl bad heard it quite through,
she sighed.ogain: • - ,

• "Nobody. loves me! The dear - birdies are so.
happy ; but I suppose it's because they sing'
so! Maybe the , good Lord lets birds sing to
make 'em happy all day long. Maybe I
shouldn't feel so wicked, and hate her so bad,,
if I sung too." And•a:smile crept about"her
lips. - " I guess I could bCat You, birdies, up
there." And she broke forth into a trilling
carol of liquid sweetness. And the birds
ualc up again. Bobolink, babuliuk !!' sang
the birds, and from, the tmossy hollow below
came,the clear, sweet mites of the singer; and
the songsters above flattered abaut uneasily
from branch to branch, as if alarmed at the
.success of their rival, till at length thrfgrow
mute, doubtless from sheer 'astouishment: .

glauce up among the thick tree branches,
"little birdies, 1 thought you'd have to give
up. But you're great cowards, every one of

she sent up a volley of stocking trills.

Twice repeated came that name, inn coarse,
harsh tone, from the ask door of the long
farmhouse across the meadow ; and the
. child,
spring to her feet, caught up a tin -pail fro*
the. turf where it had lain, and filled it at
clear bubbling spring. Such •ti change no
came over her face I The flush faded , from
cheek and lip, the bright, luminous glance

And so it was; all of freshness had gone; the

with so delicate a touch will be interwoven
with interesting associations.. The artistic,
