Have you ever sat, reader, vben the an- tninn evenings were growing cool and long, by some glowing biroh-wood fire in an old faran kltehen, among the mountains of New Hampshire f Those grand, old dniidical monntaina, about which the summer streams hang their silver necklaces, and over which the winter storms weave their garments of snow! Then, while the fire-flames dashed their yellow light over the great, brown raft¬ ers, and with every break of wind, the with¬ ered leaves rattled against the panes, have you listened to the story of some " old set¬ tler," whose memory reached back to the time when the bear and tbe wolf came down io the fields; and sometimes of an autumn moming the little children would go softly through the woods, io school, almost expect¬ ing to see a pair of wild glaring eyes among the bushes; and whispered how they had heard, the night before, of some neighbor's sheep-cote which had beeu broken into, and the blood-daggled grass bad told the story next day.
Well, listening to just such tales, in the autumn ovening.s, we dreamed amoug those gray old mountains, the storvswo are about to tell you. \_--'^
*' I guess we shall liave a raal warm day of it, to-morrow," said tbe widow Pease, as she stood a moment iu tbe kitcben door of tbe old farm-house, at tbe close of an April day, some two score and a half of years ago ; just as the sun was resting on the tops of tbe mountains that bounded the horizon. Sixty years' observation of the winds and clouds had made Mrs. Pease a kind of weather ora¬ cle in the village ; and the good woman pri¬ ded herself no little upon her elemental fore¬ sight.
" Well, Letty," sbe continued, as sbe closed the door, and retumed to her knitting and her chair by the fire-place, " I guess it'll be a first-rate day to bile the sap. I'll tell Enoch and Cyrus to pile up the boughs to-night, and hang ou the kettle, sb you oau have it all ready to kindle in the mornin'. You know they said the trees waa runnin' brisk¬ ly to-day, and they'd have two tubs fall afore night."
"They didn't though, mother!" said Letty, pausing a moment in her work, for she was setting the supper table. " Goody! I'm so glad, for I do love to have a sap boiHu'."
Letitia Pease waa tbe child of her mother's old age, and a daintier bit of nature's handi. work you have seldom looked upon. The next summer would count her twentieth, and her blue eyes were clear and bright as her New Hampshire skies, and the mountain winds had kindled a ruddy glow in her fair cheeks. She was rather short, but straight, with a finely-curved figure, and plump as health snd a hearty appetite could make her- For her character—^he was a right down, good-hearted, little spirited New England girl. That pretty little head of hers had been slightly tumed by the flattery that sundry swains had poured into it; but considering tbat she was tbe handsomest girl in the vil¬ lage, and knew it, too, Letty conducted her¬ self remarkably well. And perhaps, after all, it was not so much her fair face as it was the smilQs that broke up from the warm fountains of her nature and always. dimpled it, that won so many hearts towards her.— Sbe was not so sentimental, or inclined to the blues. Alas \ the damsels of fifty years ago had not so intimate an acquaintance with these matters as their descendants.
But now, reader, in order lo do full pen¬ ance for thia last remark, we just admit that for one, we don't believe that oar grandmoth¬ ers were any better tban we are—^not a bit! Nicer pies and puddings they could indis¬ putably make, thrifty housekeepers, faithful wives, and loving mothers they surely were, and for these things blessed be their memo¬ ry I Bttt, after all, spinning wheels alone cannot enlarge one's sympathies, or daily darning stockings enrich one's intellect; and instinct and habit narrowed down to the cir¬ cle of their own families, the views aud feel¬ ings of thc women of the last century.
And the true woman of the present time has broader social sympathies and richer life; and although she must acknowledge that her first duties are in her home, she will not think they end there, as her grandmoth¬ er did. Knowledge, that is true to itself, ex pands the moral as well as the intellectual life; and the world hasn't gone backward with tke substitution of botany for butter churns, and mathematics for milking pails .'
Bat to return to our heroine. When Enoch and Cyrus, two tall, sunburnt, but fine-looking, young fanners, came in to sup- par, they were full of a story which quite drove out all thoughts of tbe sap boiling from the head of widow Pease andher daugh¬ ter.
Some terrible depredations had been com¬ mitted the night before, ou Squtre Hubbard's sheep and lambs—the dog had been devour- «d, and two large bears had been seen prowl¬ ing around Blueberry hill, just in the edge of the previous evening.
The young men were greatly excited, for a larga party had been organized to go ont that very evening to Squire Hubbard's who lived in an adjoining town not more tbau ten miles off, for tbe pnrpose of dealroying the wild animals, as it was apprehended their former success would stimulate them to fresh depredations. So, with that belligerent propensity wbicb is so strong an element of Anglo-Saxon character, Cyrus and Enoch de¬ scanted glowingly on the best method of sur¬ prising and dispatching the animals; while the mother and sister listened with the inde.
mirror on one Bide of the kltohen, while some pleasant thonght was shyly dimpling round ber ripe lips, and brightening through her bine eyea.
" So we have, and tbey havn't piled up any boughs. It's too bad, with such nloe weather for boiling, and it likely to set up and rain a week steady at this time of year. " Snppoain' you run down to the ifoods, and heap up some boughs to-night, Latty 1 The moon shines, so it's as bright as day.— The boys coold hang up the kettle early for you, you know, but they couldn't stay to do anything else, for they've got to be off by sunrise to see abont them calves ; and they won't be home before midnight, I reckon," concluded Mrs, Pease, with an oracular shake of her head.
"Bnt I'm expecting company to-night, mother,'* anawered Letty, with the rosj tinge widening and deepening through her cheek; " and it wouldn't be very polite to be off when tbey come."
" V/ell, it's likely you'd bave time to gel back afore they do, child. If it's any o' your beaux, I can send 'em out to the ma¬ ples."
Now, if tbe truth must be told, Lettj Pease had two admirers, for whom there had often, of late, been a severe straggle between her afiectious and ber pride.
Jason Williams was a country merchant, a smart-looking young man, who had reoent¬ ly gone into business for bimself. He was , always dressed in broadcloth, stood behind the counter with the politest bow and smiles imaginable, and wns voted at the Winter sing¬ ing school, tbe "greatest catch" in the town. Then there was Seth Peters, tbe miller— away down in the silence of Letty's heart was a voice that plead for bim as it never did for the merchant. Seth was certainly good-looking and intelligent, while a nobler heart never beat for the woman it loved; but tbeu bis bow wasn't to be compared with Ja¬ son's, and he wore blue gray overalls, whioh were dnsted over with flour from Monday morning till Saturday night, except when he visited Letty. It was certainly a great con¬ trast, and the girl felt it keenly (as any maid¬ en of twenty would) when she rode past tbe old mill and saw its young owner in bis pow¬ dered clothes, lifting up the great bags of wheat by the rope that dangled from tbe front window, or pouring the com into tbe large trough, under which the great wheel plashed aud groaned in the stream all day; —it was, as we said, a great contrast to go on a few rods farther to the new store, with its green shatters and large sign, and see Ja¬ son standing in the store, dressed better than the minister, and receive one of his inimita¬ ble bows.
Then it wonld be such a conquest, aud all tbe girls would envy her so. She would be "Mrs. XVilliams, the Tnerchant's wife.'" It sounded exceedingly well, and yet, when she thought of it, that low voice would rise up and speak for tbe miller again. Poor Letty I no wonder it was so severe a struggle between her affections and her pride.
Sbe looked out of the window, and the full moon was shining down on the bare earth, and whitening the naked branches of the tall trees. The sweet, pensive light stole softly into the girl's heart, and drew her to¬ wards it.
"I guess I'll run dowu to the grove. If anybody comea, yoa can talk to 'era, mother, till I get back, for I won't be gone long," was her sadden conclusion.
The girl had not been absent for more than five minutes, when there was a knock at the door, followed by the entrance of Jason Wil¬ liams. He took a seat by the great fire-place, and ohatted a few moments with the old wo¬ man about the new meeting-house, and the prospects of an early spring, when suddenly there was another light tap at the door, and in answer to widow Pease's "come in," the miller made his appearance.
It was not so remarkable a coincidence, after all, that the young men should both visit Letty thia evening, for it was bright enough with its balmy air, and large, round nioon, to woo any man to visit the woman of his seeking. Of course, the merchant and the miller conld not have regarded each oth¬ er with peeuliarly complacent feelings; and probably each wished the other a thousand miles ofi, notwithstanding they met quite as cordially as rivals could be expected to do.
But somehow the conversation lagged ex¬ ceedingly, and at last Janson proposed to Seth that tbey shonld go down to tbe grove in search of Letty, to which the latter gladly consented.
She did look like a picture, as she knelt there, piling up the dead, old tree boughs, while the shadows and the moonbeams danced restlessly over her figure, as restless as they".
The yoang men came suddenly upon her, and she sprang up with a little shriek and a bounding of the hlood iuto her cheeks—but ber laugh, oh, that was like all sorts of sweet sounds, as it ran rippling off to the echoes of Blueberry hill!
" Well, you've come, aud now I shall set you straight to work, young gentlemen," said the girl, with that dainty, fluttering motion of the head so natural to, and so graceful in some women.
" Of course you will. We're ready to obey orders, Letty," was the aimultaneoas re¬ sponse of the youug men; and the dainty merchant and the handsome miller set them¬ selves vigorously to work; aud the voices of the trio mingled loudly and merrily, as they piled up tbe branches of pine, and birch, and hemlock. Letty affirming that the sngar boiling was likely to be the easiest she ever tended, now all the trouble of gathering the fire-wood wonld be over.
" Hark! didn't jon hear a strange kind of noise?" aud Letty lifted her head sud¬ denly, and stared eagerly aroand her.
" It's nothing, Letty, only the sap dropping into the tubs," answered Jason, as he added a fresh handfal of boughs to the rapidly in¬ creasing pile.
" No, it isn't the sap.     There, I  hear it
again.    It's a rustling among the branches."
They all beard it now ; it was a strange,
ly half across the lot, but it was not a large one, and in her blind terror sbe had taken a oirouitons route, which the bears had follow¬ ed, 60 the distance between Seth and them waa only a few rods. He shouted to Letty to turn round into the meadow ; it was strange that she heard him, but she did, and instinc¬ tively obeyed.
A run of a few yards, which the yonng man aocomblished quicker than our pen hai written it, brought Seth face to face with the wild animals. It required a stout heart to confront those two raging, ravening animals, but Seth Peters thought only that death was close to the woman that he loved)
A moment more and it had reached her.— The hot breath of the beasts drifted almost across her flying feet, as the miller rushed by her; for in turning toward the meadow she had shortened the distauce between him and herself; indeed, at the farthest it had been only a few rods. The foremost animal came up to the young man—the heavy paws were planted on his shoulder—now, Seth Peters, & itout arm and a brave heart will, only avail yon—the axe comes down heavily—it has done its work well I Do you see the bear sink back, with that growl of terror and of pain, while the hot blood gurgles up from its cleft throat!
Its mate sees all this, and with a respon¬ sive howl of fright and despair, rushes baok to the woods, and Seth is safe I
"Lettyl iettyl theyare gone!" The voice swells loud and triumphant to the ear of the poor girl, who, still imagining the bears are pursuing her, rushes on wildly in the direc¬ tion of her home ! Sbe pauses a moment.— Bat that clear, strong, triumphant voice sends a new tide of hope bounding through her soul. She turns back. A few minutes later, and her white face steals up close to Setb's as he stands tbere watching the last gasps of life heaving tbe huge black frame of tba benr.
"Letty! let us thank God for this great de¬ liverance."
They kneel down tbere together, and tbe sad moon and the sweet spring stars look on them, as tbe young miller's deep voice sends up its eloquent thank to tha All-Father!
But Letty's fair head droops lower aud lower; aud when Seth looks once more in her face, tbe blue eyes do not answer him.— Poor Letty! the terror has beeu too great for her. No wonder she has fainted with tbe great joy of delireraace from death!
Suddenly across tbe fields breaks the sound of many voices. There is a quick stamping of feet. Jason has given the alarm, and friends and neighbors are rushing wildly to the rescue. In less tban five minutes they find the miller seated on the damp earth, with Letty lying senseless in his arms, and tbe dead bear at his feet [
Oh E but there were smiles and rejoicings that night at widow Peaae'a, where, but for tbe brave heart of Seth Peters, there had been wailing, despair, and death! It was long paat midnight when Gyrus and Enoch returned ; and somehow their faces did not look so brigbt as when they left, and they settled themselves down wearily by the fire, saying," What, mother, up watching for us all this time! Well, we havn't killed tbe bear, after all!"
" No, but we have here, yoa see!" was the old woman's triumphant response; and then, to their ejaculations of doubt and surprise, the old lady detailed tbe whole story—indeed, she had seut ofl" Letty to bed half an hour be¬ fore, for the exclusive enjoyment of this pleasure. Cyrus and Enoch listened in amazed silence, and at the conclusion thus briefly and charasteristically expressed their opinion of tbe miller's heroism: "Waal now, if tbat don't beat everything all hollow !¦'
Tbree days had pasaed ! It was a wild, sobbing night, with one of tbope storms that furrow the sweet face of April with wind, and drench it witb tears.
This time the miller and Letty Pease sat alone together, in the ruddy birch fire-light of the old kitchen, while the storm moaned aud battled witbout.
" Well, Letty, bow did you get on with the sugar-boiling ?" asked the young man, drawing his chair a little nearer the girl's.
" Ob, nicely, I assure you, though I couldn't help starting and looking round every time the wind stirred the branches I" and Letty shuddered, for even in the dancing fire-light, sbe seemed to see again those wild eyes glar¬ ing upon her. " Oh, Seth ! how can I ever be grateful enoagb to you for taking care of me then ?"
The miller drew his chair still closer to hers, and his voice trembled in its deep ten¬ derness as it answered, " I should like to take care of you always, Letty."
The girl mnst have forgotten at that mo¬ ment how very nicely Mrt. Williams, the merckanVs wife, sounded, for she laid her hand in that of Seth Peters, and the birch fiames were not mddier than her cheek, aa she whispered, " Vou may, Seth."
And through all her happy after life, we are very certain Letty Pease never regretted marrying the miller instead of the m.erchanl.
how beautiful waa the little creature coming toward us. She was very unlike her sister Kate. Kate was a brunette, but the little white-robed figure tripping across the me&dow had a pale, spiritual faoe, and long curls of golden hair falling to her tiny waist. There wa.s a flush on her oheek, and a look of eager, beseeching interest in her large, blue eyes ; and abe stretched her dimpled arms toward ug, and kept crying In her earaest- neds;
" P'eaae, girls, wait for Rose." A look of vexation crossed Kate's face, and shu called out  in a  tone  of extreme irrita¬ bility :
"Go baok. Rose, you're too little to come ! Go back I go baok !"
Kate always had a way of being minded, and tbe little one put her fingers to her eyea, and silently turned toward the hotiae. We hurried on in the direction of tbe wood, withoat giving a single glance backward. I think Kate's conacience reproached her for her selfishness, and I know that my own pleasure was spoiled for the afternoon. We found plenty of strawberries red and ripe, among their beds of leaves. There were little blue-eyed blossoms, too, that kept re¬ minding me of Roaie, and I was not sorry when the sunset shadows lengthened, andwa turned to go home.
We had gone down the hiU out of tha wood, and crossed several rods of the mead¬ ow-land, when Kate said, in a hoarse whis¬ per :—" See there, girls, what is that white thing by the brook ?   Do yon see it 1"
We saw it, and hurried toward it. It waa Rose. At firat we thought ahe was dead.— Scarcely seemed the faiuteat breath to steal from her parted lips, and the pulsations of her heart were ao weak you could scarcely feel them. She was in a kind of trance-tike sleep. It was some time before we succeeded in waking her, and then her limbs seemed chilled and stiffened by the subtle dampness of the meadow-land atmosphere. She could not stand. How mauy times that afternoon the little darling had begged us to "make a chair" for her, with our hands, and we had answered that we couldn't stop. We made one now. She twined ber dimpled armi about our necks, and held on very tight, but sbe didn't speak, except ouce, and then she only said. " Ain't I most big enough, siater Kate ?"
Mrs. Harrington met us at the door with a wild look of alarm. " Good heavens, Kate! ahe exclaimed ; " what's the matter with Rose ?" And taking her from our arms, she discovered that her clothes were almost sat¬ urated with moisture. " Kate, child, why don't you speak? Has Rose been in tbe water ?"
" No, ma'ma; but she went into tha mea¬ dow and got to sleep, and we found her there Bleeping."
Ob, there were anxious hearts in Deacon Harrington's brown house that night. Very tenderly was the suflering little Rose cradled ou her mother'a breast, but not once did she speak coherently. Her cheeks burned, and her eyes sparkled with fever; her dimpled arms were tossed above her head, and every little while, between her moans, she would stretch ont her hands toward aome imagina¬ ry object aud aay: " P'ease, sister Kate, isn't Rose most big enough?"
Three days paased—days of incesaant watching and weariness, and toward evening the Uttle Rose opened her blue eyes, after & restless slumber. She seemed mueh better, and the mother glanced bopefally up to the kind physician bending over her.
"I cannot say she's better, madam. God knowa I wiah 1 could; but Rose must die be fore midnight!" aud the tears stood in glit¬ tering drops on tho good man's cheeka.
The mother's great grief was not noiay.— She quietly lifted her darling from the bed, and sat down with ber iu bur arms. Kate stood by, sobbing, as if already the brand of Cain were upon her brow.
Please, mamma," said  the little one at length—"am I big enough to go to Heaven ?" " Yes, darling," was the tearful answer.— "Jesus loves little children."
" And, mamma, do you s'pose he'll forgive me for sitting down iu the meadows to watcli Kate, when you told me I musn't ever stay there ?"
" Yes, Tny pet, the good Saviour will for¬ give you for any thing, if you are only sorry; but Roaie doesn't want to go to Heaven, and leave mother, doea she ?"
" I heard somebody say I must go, when I was asleep, mother; a beautiful lady, with oh! such white, shining wings, and she stretched out her arms to take me, but I didn't go. I woke np juat to kiss you and sister once more. Please kiss me, Katie, 'ittle Rose won't be naughty up in Heaven aud I'll grow big before yoa come, Katy, so I can play with you up there!"
Thers were tears, sighs, a funeral, and a little coffin. The rosebud opened its petals on the bosom of Jesus. The littla earth-flow¬ er was *'big enough for Heaven 1"
THE "I CAHT'S." The "I oant's" are numeroas and ubiqui¬ tous. Their numbers are astonishing. A ourious statistician estimates that about one half of the children born Into tbe world are furnidbed by Nature with a remarkable lingu¬ al facility for the utterance of this brief and cowardly sentanoe. Neither time nor experi- lence enables them to abolish from their vo¬ cabulary these fatal words, and from the cra¬ dle to the grave they drag a slip-shod life spent In accomplishing nothing,from the fact tbat they lack tbe energy and will necessary to accomplish.
These human dogs are recognizable any¬ where, under auy circumstances, and in what¬ ever garb: in the palaoe, bnt more often in the prison, especially In suoh enlightened Statea ae ours, where priaons aerve as a wel¬ come refuge to many, who are too utterly worthless to get their own living, and there¬ fore force their creditors to get it for them. And with this exception we oan aee no other humane purpose in a debtor's prison Of the legal aud ducal " I cant's," history fumiahes too many examples to need illuatratlon at our handa. Of titled membera of the order, of lower degree, the world is cursed with & leas number than formerly, for the reaaon that the race ia dying of mere insanity; but In the great world, among the masses, it is astonishing what a host of drones share the honey of the bees' gathering 1 Regarding ev¬ ery thing they do as hardship' looking upon labor as an evil, it seems to be a sort of mor¬ al dnty with auch men to do as little aa pos¬ sible, and get all they can for It. '•! can't*' ia their ahibboleth and shield. Propose to them the aocompliahment of whatever new work, any thing out of the beaten track, any little addition to what they have done, and see! how, like trained jackdaws, their beaks fly open—without a moment's consideration ofthe poasibility or desirability of the doing —and out it comea, like the *' pretty Polly i" ofa pet parrot—"I oan't."
We have said yon may know them every¬ where: in the legialative halla, on the battle¬ field, in the council-chamber, at the bar, in the counting-house, in the studio, at the bench, or in tha furrows; for they are spawned everywhere, and among all clasaea of induatriala, merchants or mechanics. You may know " I can't" as well by what he does aa hy what he will uot try to do ; and a mis¬ erable—mnmhling—mealy-mouthed—moun¬ tain-raising, and mole-hill moving mummy of a man will you find him in any of these pursuits. He is always fordelay. Hehaan't time, or be hasn't tools; he lacks means; or he must have more help ; you " had better wait," or he knows "it is impossible;" any thing rather thau do it. " I'll -try 1" never comes into his head aa it did into Colonel Miller's ; to try being just what he wishes to escape from, while to say "I oan't," ia the easiest as well aa the meanest method of ac- comptohing hia desires.
" I cant," is a humbug and a nuisance, aud society ought to make him sensible of the fact by kicking him without its pale. All tbinga are possible to God; aud of the count¬ less things possible to man, through the right use of the gifts He haa bestowed upon him, not one in a hundred have yet baen accom¬ plished; myriads of failures resulting from the soulless efforts and combined blunderings of tbe inanimatelhost of " Icant'a." A boy of sound body aud mind ought to be puniahed every time he uses the phrase, by the adop¬ tion of which salutary corrective the number of the men who will use it can materially be dimtniahed.
" Can't" is the most contemptible combi¬ nation of letters known to the English schol¬ ar ; and it may be safely assumed that neith¬ er Alfred nor Arkwright, Milton nor Maury Washington nor Whitney, Girard nor Astor nor any other among the glorious galaxy of determinate industrial stai s, ever yet recog- nized the canting use to which the phrase is put by such as we describe.

finable mixture of wonder, admiration, and
terror, which woman alwaya awards to manly I stealthy, mysterious sound,  that, heard
ooarage and skill,
" Bat, dear me," said Letty, as she poured Cyrus' third glass of milk, " what if a hear should come round here some of these daysl Tou know Elder Smith said he saw oue on his farm last autumn. Oh, my ! I helieve it would take the breath straight out of my body to come across one of the creatures." And the rosy cheeks grew pale at the thought. " Nonsense, sis I" said the hearty voice of Enoch, as he spread a double stratum of hut¬ ter on his fourth slice of rye bread, " there's no sort a danger around here. Nobody in these parts was ever touched by one of them 'ere chaps. I reckon they're smart enough not to venture their heads far into tkis town. They wouldn't stay on long, if they did, that's sartin."
Kow whether there  was much philosophy in thia speech or not, it had the effect of greatly quieting   Letty's  fears;   though if Enoch had been called on to give his reason for exempting Berrygale from bear incnr- aions, he could probably have found no bet-' ter one than that the  propensity indigenous to human nature of  supposing ourselves less li&ble to ill fortune than our neighbors. Well, after supper the boys started off, in high spirits, duly equipped with rifles and long knives, reoeiviog many solemn injuuo- tiouB &om their inother to look out that them critters didnH get hold of their skins, zxiatom&I warnings, which hare a remarkable faculty of going in at one ear, and oat at the other.
" I declare, Letty, we'd forgot all about that sap boiling 1" suddenly remarked the widow to her daughter, who, having washed np the tea dishea, waa bosily smoothing down the wftTy folds of hex U^, at thelittlo
the woods, and at night, is perhaps more startling than any other.
A faint shriek suddenly broke from Letty, which drew the gaze of both the young men to her. She was standing a few paces from them, her face white and rigid, as thongh death had struck suddenly at her heart.— There was something in that stoney face that chilled both the young men, and they sprang eagerly towards her, crying, " Letty ! whatia the matter i"
They saw what it was, then, and the faces of those two strong men grew white as the girl's; for there, peering out with their wild, glaring, hunger-lighted eyes, from the low underbrush, were two large bears, crouched down ready to spring upon them.
The yonng men's question broke the spell of horror which had transfixed Letty Pease. With a low shriek she sprang past her com¬ panions, and with a ory, fearful in its rage and hunger, the animals rushed out.
Jason Williams followed her, for the men had no weapons—thoae beasts were wild, savage, hunger-mad, and the love of life was atrong within him—no wonder that he soon outstripped the girl, whose trembling limbs were a poor match against her pursuers.
It was a fearful race. They gained upon her iuthe first few rods. "(Jod of Heaven, help her!'» groaned the white lips of Seth Petera. And God heard that prayer, moaned out in that terrible agony. There gleamed out suddenly upon him, among the gray tan¬ gled grasa of the laat year, a large axe, which Enoch had ground sharply, three days before, to make an incision in the maple trunks, and thrown down there in haste or forgetfulness. Seth caught it up eagerly, and with a loud ihout he bonnded forward.   Letty w&s near-
Go back, Eose; you're too little to come!
BY ELLES   LOUISE CSASDLER.
There were three of us—Kate, Annette, and myself—and we were going into the old wood to hunt for strawberries. Oh I it was such a delicious day in June. The birds sang till the air was fairly vocal with their melody, and all the green trees nodded their heads in approbation. The very brook seemed to have caught the general inspiration, and danced along the meadows, as if keeping time to a quickstep of the fairies.
Annette Somers and I had been invited to spend the half-holiday with our schoolmate Kate Harrington. Deacon Harrington's old- fashioned, brown house fronted toward the South. Behind it stretched a broad, green meadow, and still farther back was a densely I wooded acclivity^ famous for flowers and I berries in the geography of every child in Eyefield. I used to love to look at Deacon Harrington's old brown house, even iu those early days, when I had not a single well- defined notion of artistic taste iu my curly head. I know now that it combined to an eminent degree the elements of the pictur¬ esque. The low roof, which sloped back¬ ward nearly to the ground, was gray with moss. Ivy crept about the windows, and over the rustic porch had twined climbing roses, along with heavy clusters of trumpet creeper.
There was a rude aeat at the doorway, made of the lithe boughs of the white birch, twisted together in fantastic fashion, and here grandmother Harrington was wont to sit, with her gray wooleu knitting work.— Oh! what a treat we used to think it to spend a half-holiday with Kate Harrington.
"I wish I were you, Kate," exclaimed An¬ nette, after we had spent half the long sum¬ mer aftemoou chasing butterflies, and arran¬ ging a vegetable baby-house with hollyhocks, for our ladies' parasols, and tea-pots manu¬ factured out of veritable poppy-pods, "I wish I were you, and then I could be happy all day long, with nothing to trouble me."
"You could, could you?" and Kate's cheeks flushed, as ahe put away from them her heavy bands of black hair—" you think so, and that's all you know about it. I have a thousand things to vex me. There's Rose, for instance. Mother expects me to be con¬ stantly taking care of her, and she's the greatest little torment you ever saw. By the way, girls, let's start after those strawberries in the wood, now she's out of sight for a minute, so she won't tease to go with us 1"
We were just about half-way across the meadow, when we heard a sweet voice cry¬ ing:
" P'ease, sister  B^te; Rose wants to go too." I tumed round, I remember, and thought

BuiLDiSG WITH Wet Beick.—We notice, in an exchange paper, a paragraph upou this subject, which we think of considerable im¬ portance to builders. It is stated, on what is considered good authority, that of experience that a wall twelvH inches thiek, built of good mortar with bricks well soaked, is stronger in every respect than one sixteen inchea thick built dry. The reason of tbis is, that if the bricks are saturated with water, they will not abstract from the mortar tbe moisture which is necessary to Its crystallization, but on the contrary tbey will chemically unite with the mortar, and become as solid as a rock. On the other hand, if the bricks are put up dry, they immediately take all the moisture from the mortar, leaving it too dry to harden, aud the consequence is, that when a building of this description is taken or tumbles down of its own accord, the mortar from it is like so much sand. There is, no doubt, much truth in this assertion. The great absorbent power of baktd clay natural-

Use of Cats' WmsKEHa.—Every one haa observed tlie whiskers of a cat; hat few, per¬ haps, dream that thej serve any valuable end.   The following passage will prove the contrary:  Every one mnst have  observed what are usnally called "the whiskers of the cat's upper lip.    The use of theae in a state of nature is very important.   They are organs of tonch.   They are attached to a bed of oloae glands under the skin, and each of these long hairs is connected with the nerves ofthe lip. The slightest contact of these whiskers with any aurrounding object is thus felt most dis¬ tinctly hy the animal, although the hairs of themselves are insensible.    They stand out on each side of the lion as well  as in the common cat; so that from point to point they are eqnal to the width of the animal's hody. If  we   imagine,   therefore, a lion   atealing throngh a c >vert of wood in an imperfect light, we shall at once see the use of these long hairs.    They indicate to him, throngh the nicest feeling, any obstacle which may present itself to the passage of the body; they prevent the rustle of bonghs and leaves, wbich wonld give warning to his prey, if he were to attempt to pass through too close a bnsh; and thus, in conjunction with the soft cushions of his feet, and the fur upon which he treads (the retractile claws never coming in contact with the groand) they enable him to move toward hia victim with a stillness even greater than that of the snake that creeps along the grass, and is not seen until it is ooiled aronnd its prey.
