Our blythe singing guest, and he, 
Merry ml us t rol of the free.

O happy bobolink, 
With cup* of dew to drink! 
The melody of rain 
Sounds in his sweetest straiu. 
When the cloudless sun shall rise, 
Photographing lighted skies 
In the wood flower*’ soft blue eyes, 
Touched with morning stars and shadows, 
Then the bobolink so gay, 
Singing songs at break of day. 
Like a monarch hears the Bway, 
In llie jubiluting meadows.

Welcome to our woods and meads.

Therein gray he dresses plain, 
Until lie comes back again 
To our own luxuriant grasses. 
O happy bobolink,

Gay and happy bobolink, 
Halting here mid there to drink. 
Where the blossoms, white and plot,— 
Semi-globes of sweetest clover,— 
Lift their heads to hear his strain 
Soft us music of the niin- 
Will their sweet praise make him vain ? 
Hear the solo of the rover. 
O liuppy bobolink, 
With cups of dew to drink! 
The melody of ruin 
Sounds In his sweetest strain.

Evening came, and Mr. and Mrs. Dawson 
were in the sitting-room, with all the house¬ 
hold duties completed for the day. John 
ami .Nellie had waited very anxiously lor 
the tea-table to be cleared and their father 
and mother at liberty to listen to their stories ; 
and now that there would be no interruption, 
and their parents were ready to listen, they 
ran up stairs to get them. They came back, 
smiling very happily, for they knew they 
would be sure of a kiss from their mother 
and an encouraging word from their father 
if the stories were good, and it seemed to 
them that there could be no doubt of that! 
To them they were better than any in their 
story books! 
John read his story first. Here it is: 
The Horne. 
“The horse Isa nobleatiimal. I think they are 
the most Intelligent of all animals. They work 
for tits, and, when we are kind to them, they will 
do almost.all we u>k them to do. If we had no 
horses I do not know how wo could got along 
with our work. I mn sure we should miss t hem 
very much. I know one that will Jump over a 
pole, If it is held up before him, a« high as my 
head; and hi; seems to like llie exercise very 
much. Mo will shake his head if he is told to do 
so, and beg for hay or oats when he sees any one 
in the bwfii, and I think lie ulwuys gets some¬ 
thing when he begs, for he Is a great, pel, When

John sat down when he finished reading; 
his mother smiled very proudly on her boy 
as lie drew bis chair beside her, and he knew 
she thought his story a good one. 
“ I am delighted,” said his father, who had 
listened very attentively. “ You have done 
better than I expected. There were no mis¬ 
takes in it thal I noticed, and I think you 
made Whiteibot the subject of a very inter¬ 
esting little story.” 
Nellie then read her story. It was as

JOHN AND NELLIE’S STORIES 
There is u thing that's daily seen 
By all the wretched, poor and mean, 
Which kings and prim es seldom see 
But herd’s a greater mystery 
That thing so often seen by man, 
By God ou high was never seen.

BY SUSIE V. STORMS. 
“ 1 will tell you of a new kind of amuse¬ 
ment I have thought of,” said Mr. Dawson to 
his two children, John and Nellie, as they 
were sitting by the lire one evening. “ 1 
think it will suit you, and il cannot fail to be 
good exercise for your minds.” 
“ Wlmt is it ?” asked both together. 
“ Writing stories,” answered Mr. Dawson. 
“Writing stories!” cried John. “Why, 
father, we never wrote one in our lives!’’ 
“ I know that," answered his father, “ and 
1 want you to begin. You can choose some 
subject to write about, and then y ju must 
think it over well, and study it as you do a 
lesson, before you commence to write, ju 
order that you may know what you are 
writing about. Then, when you write, you 
must be careful to use good language and 
spell correctly, and though your stories are 
not as good as some you may read in books,— 
and of course we canuot expect them to be, 
for you are only children,—they will do you 
more good, for you will be learning to ex¬ 
press vour thoughts well, and the writing 
and spelling will be helping you very much. 
When we write letters we want to do it 
neatly and correctly, and we want to express 
our thoughts in such a way that they can 
readily be understood. Now this exercise I 
have proposed will help you in all these 
tilings, and I know you will find in it a great 
deal of amusement. 
“When shall we write our first one?” 
asked Nellie. 
“ You may write it to-morrow,” was the 
reply, “ and read it to me in the evening.” 
“ What shall we write about V" asked John. 
“ You must choose your own subjects,” 
replied Mr. Dawson, smiling sit the bright, 
eager eyes of his children. “ I want you 
to do it alone, and if there are any mistakes 
I will point, them out to you. If there are 
none, you will have all the credit for your¬ 
selves, if you get along without ltd p. Be very 
careful, and think over every sentence be¬ 
fore you write it down. Write just as you 
think, and 1 dare say I shall have the pleas¬ 
ure of listening to two very interesting stories 
to-morrow evening.” 
“ 1 wish 1 knew wlmt to write about," said 
John to Nellie as they sat on the sofa, dis¬ 
cussing I he new amusement. “I suppose I 
could write about going to school, or the,— 
the,—or the trees, or almost anything, if I 
only knew how,” added he, with a laugh. 
"1 guess I’ll write about ’cousin Jane’s 
doll,” said Nellie. “ Don’t you think that 
would he a good subject, John ?” 
“ That would do for you, ’cause you’re a 
girl,” answered John, “ hut/couldn’t write 
about dolls at all. Oh, I know! I’ll write 
about the horse! I can tell all about horses, 
and I guess that’ll be the best subject I could 
choose!’’ 
“Won’t it be fun?” said Nhi.lie. And 
l 
her eyes were full of anticipated pleasure. 
The next day they procured some paper 
from their father, and, with their jams in 1 
hand, sat down in the library and begun i 
their task. They had belli laid awake and 
thought of the subjects chosen for their 1 
stories, and when they got ready to write 
they knew pretty nearly what they were
