Gray Earth's pets, I love you well, 
Little nioKse.s, golden mosses; 
Would that I had words to toll

In the meadows, gay with Itowers,

contentment, said the fairy voice that it 
had heard once before, “ and that you find 
that idleness does not bring happiness. Shall 
I take my gilt bade again ?’* 
"Oh, yes,” said the chair; and if it had 
had eyes it would have cried for joy. 
That same day it, rained so hard that the 
boys could not go out to play, and as thoir 
cousin Tom had come to see them, their 
mother said they might go into the garret, 
and make all the noise they wanted to. 
The boys were delighted, and rushed up¬ 
stairs shouting like a band of wild Indians. 
After they had played everything they 
could think, they saw the old chair, and 
thought it would be great ftin to have Tom 
sit in it. Now, you know hoys don’t like 
to have any one think they can be fright¬ 
ened; so, when they dared Tom to sit in it, 
he said, “ Who thinks I am afraid?” and 
marched up as bold as a lion, and down 
lie sat. 
But not a sound was heard. The children 
were at first perfectly astonished; but after 
they had tried it all around, they ran down 
and told their mamma, who was as much 
pleased as any one, and had it moved right 
down stairs, to surprise papa at night. 
It seemed so nice to sec it in its old place 
again; and when liLilc Nellie went up, 
patted its back, and said, “ Dear old chair,” 
the chair was so proud that it puffed out its 
cushions to be as soft as possible, and won¬ 
dered how it could have ever been so foolish 
as to think itself abused.

BY COUSIN LUCY, 
u On, dear! I’m sick of having so many 
people sit in me ! The boys get on my arms 
and play horse; and then, when the girls 
undress their dolls, they stick pins into niy 
back, just as if I was an old pin-cushion, I 
don’t believe any one in the world baa such 
a bard time!” 
“ Would you really be glad never to have 
any one sit in you again?” asked a little 
voice right by the side of the chair; for it 
was an old green leather chair that had just 
spoken. 
The chair was very much surprised to 
hear t he voice so near it, and asked : 
“ Who is talking to me?” 
The voice answered: 
“ I am a fairy. T have heard all you have 
said, and feel so sorry for you that I am 
going to give you a present, that will pre¬ 
vent any one going near you. When the 
next person sits down you shall make a 
noise like a pistol, which will frighten him 
away, so that you will never complain of 
being tired again.” 
The chair thanked the fairy, but it did not 
speak again. The chair almost believed 
that it had been dreaming—the voice and 
wliat it had said seemed so strange. 
Soon after dinner old Mr. Lee, the grand¬ 
father, thought lie would take a little nap iu 
his favorite seat. The poor old gentleman 
had no sooner sat clown than “ bang ” went 
the chair, with such a noise that grandfather 
forgot all about his rheumatism, and jumped 
so high in the air that he lost off his wig. 
“Thosebad boys have put torpedoes in 
my chair, and they deserve a good whip¬ 
ping,” said lie. “ I shall tell their father.” 
When his son John came home that night 
he told him all about it, and John promised 
they should never do such a thing again. 
He went down stairs, but the boys were not 
there, so lie thought lie would wait until tea 
time, and then speak to them. 
Being very tired, ho threw himself into the 
chair, when “hang” it went again. Tic did 
not wonder that liis poor old father had been 
frightened. 
“ They do deserve a good whipping, and 
no mistake about it!” he remarked. 
Going to the door he called, — ■“ Harry, 
Walter, Ned!” The boys hearing his 
voice, rushed down stairs, wondering what 
papa could want. 
“ Harry, what do you and your brothers 
mean by frightening your grandfather ?” he 
asked. 
0 
“ Why papa,” said HARRY, “ wc liave’nt 
done a single thing.” 
“ Don’t, tell me a story, Harry, but go and 
sit down in that chair," said Mr. Lee. 
Poor Harry had no sooner sat down than 
he was up again, looking terribly scared. 
Their lather saw by their looks that they 
did not know anything about it. Of course 
every one in the house wondered and wonder¬ 
ed what could be the matter. They turned 
the chair upside-down and all around but not 
a thing could they find that should cause a 
noise. 
The next morning Mr. Lee had a man 
take the chair apart to see what the matter 
was. Alter working at it a long time, he 
said he could not find anything wrong. 
Of course, the chair could not be used; 
so it was sent up into the garret, where it 
stood for a long time. 
One day it began to think how nice and 
warm it was down stab's in the library, 
among the birds and flowers, and how much 
it would like to know what the family were 
doing and talking about. At last, it could 
not stand it any longer, so it said to itself: 
“ Oh, how foolish I was to be so cross and 
very discontented. If I could only be down
