YOUNG BARNES. 
It was soon discovered that the new 
species of white butterfly had merely 
been manufactured out of a Pieris 
Brassicce, by cutting the wings with a 
pair of scissors; but young Barnes 
was not at all ashamed at being found 
out, — he laughed, and seemed to think 
it a good joke. Not so the other 
boys; they were indignant at the way 
in which Fanny Weldon had been 
done; and, the matter having been 
duly considered, young Barnes found 
himself in “ Coventry.” 
No one likes to be sent to Coventry ; 
and certainly it was not agreeable to 
young Barnes ; but there he was, and

He came to a little wood, which

a Clear-wing ! ” And sure enough it 
was. There were many in the wood, 
and young Barnes soon got into the 
way of catching them, and had twenty 
pinned in the crown of his hat before 
he left the spot. 
Walking homeward, he pondered on 
his mode of proceeding ; he admitted 
to himself he had made a mistake in 
hoaxing Fanny Weldon with the clipped 
white butterfly, not that he felt he had 
done wrong in hoaxing him at all, but 
he felt it was an error of judgment on
