he had leisure to enjoy his treasure. Stretch¬

a distance from the kitchen door, enjoying 
life. Old Whitey eume by. She walked 
round and round, nearer and nearer, clucked, 
picked, and finally contended for the hone. 
It was Argus’ hour of weakness; he gave one 
snap, and bit oiF Old hitey’s head f°i 
his teeth were not so bad after till. The 
news spread as ill news does. Old Argus 
rose and walked slowly away, leaving his 
hone upon the field of carnage. It was too 
much for us children, mid Argus knew if. 
There was in the neighboring village an 
academy for boy.:-; —a few hour/ afterward

Unit there was a chicken in Ihe swill barrel. 
Sauelio* in chasing the. intruders,had driven 
o..e in there. The old ebook, an American 
women, fearful at times to us little ones, de¬ 
clared she would not care if they were all 
drowned, every chick of them; but the kind 
little housemaid called on the gardener for 
assistance, and he being the little house¬ 
maid’s admirer, succeeded in saving the fool¬ 
ish chicken. Out it came, nearly drowned 
— had to be held up by its feet some mo¬ 
ments, then dried in an old carpet; but 
“ Wbitey,” “ Old Whitey,” us she was called 
from Unit day, was a heroine ever nfier. 
I am sure a more unprepossessing chicken 
never walked the earth. From Hub time her 
feathers dried to be sure, but they grew all 
eixes and sevens, contrary way and every 
way but the right —light, dry and fur/.y, and 
ns she developed, such awkward feet and 
long neck never were seen before the im¬ 
portation of the Shanghai. But, Old 'Whitey 
was a heroine; she had been down to the 
very gates of death; had returned to this 
beautiful world, and our sympathies were 
all with her. To the cook she was yet the 
most miserable of chickens. I do not wonder 
she tried the patience of the cleanest of 
housewives, she was so fearlessly familiar 
over afterwards; always about the house.

stands London, but in our country,generous 
of mighty rivers, called only a creek. Here 
W e had a* boat, Imre the cattle came to wade 
and wash; and tins too was a boundary. 
We had no neighboring liltle boys or girls 
to run in and play with us—no Barnum’s 
Museum, no circus, no Tom Thumb, —none 
of the popular amusements for young people 
of the present day. We were brought, up 
under the old order of things; when the 
good folks would say to us: —Ay! well! 
Children may he seen but not heard;” they 
must learn early to amuse themselves, cre¬ 
ating their own stories, depending fur amuzo- 
menton their own resources; not troubling 
older and wiser friends continually for a play¬ 
thing or a story. Wo were driven, therefore, 
to find our own companionship in nature 
and ourselves, as best we could; growing up 
as t hose who, far from public haunts 
“ Find tongues 1« trees, books in the running brooks, 
Sermons In stones, anil good In everything.’ 
We wore wonderfully given to pets. Our 
father was a man who carried the Golden 
Rule of “ doing as he would be done by,” 
down even into the very barn-yard. There 
was no forgetfulness of any poor dumb crea¬ 
ture’s comfort about our borne! lie used to 
say he believed there would be more to 
answer for in that Great Judgment, waiting 
beyond the world, for cruelty towards these 
animals, who could not. complain, than in any 
disputed points of Tin ology. Our father was 
of the number of merciful men, “merciful to 
his beast.” 
I think our sensibilities were educated 
quite enough for our peace. 1 judge so from 
the sort of pity T even now feel for those 
little girls when some well-nursed darling 
died — they were so apt to die. The little 
green gosling, whose mother had deserted it, 
or some duckling hatched out. earlier than 
the rest — brought into the house to he wrapt 
in cotton wool, led on wet Indian meal 
and named after some favorite of the story 
book — was just as likely to have a tiny 
grave under the lilac bushes, with a shingle 
for its tombstone, as to go back to the poul¬ 
try-yard. 1 remember well those little head- 
boards, on which the name and a few days 
were written, while the wail — sorrowful as 
from some Irish wake—-‘would cause our 
kind mother to say, “ I think I cannot allow 
my •children to have any more pets.” Still 
we had them : for our mother never enforced 
the law. 
Old Argus and Sancholiad each their ken¬ 
nel— big dog and little dog. Argus, whose 
comingamong us we did not remember, when 
his teeth began to fail and his limbs grow stiff 
was the occasion of great solicitation, and 
liis kennel was our daily care ; then, as he 
grew older, in winter time he had his blanket. 
The little dog had a way of preferring the 
larger kennel; so, when Argus would be 
comfortably sleeping through some wintry 
■ storm, Haneho would creep out into the cold 
from liis little box and begin an incessant 
barking; then with a weary stir, poor old 
Argus would open his eyes — true to his 
name—and watch, stir out to see what was 
the matter; then Sanclio, sly rogue, would 
slip back to the large, warm kennel and 
blanket, and leave the greater and magnani¬ 
mous Argus to crawl in ns best he could with 
a bed-follow. Night after night, and year 
after year, Sanchoperformed this little by-
