SEMINARY. 
It was on a fresli, dewy morning in Octo¬ 
ber, more than two years ago, that little Ka¬ 
tie and 1 put on our hats and started for a 
walk. ) had been visiting at Katie’s house 
for a week, and the next morning was to 
take my journey home, a distance of eight 
miles, along a carriage round that wound 
and twisted itself through the pleasant woods 
and over the green hills. We had an object 
in view that morning, as we hastened on to¬ 
ward a stream of water that sparkled and 
bubbled through the fields and across the 
road. Among all Katie’s treasures, the 
thing that pleased me most was a small 
aquarium—a fruit, jar containing two little 
fish, "And nothing but minnies either,” 
Katie bad said. I longed to possess an 
aquarium for my very own, and my little 
cousin had offered to capture a fish for me 
to take home. So this was the object of our 
walk. 
Well, here we were at last, standing on 
the bridge, and Katie had told me that 1 
must’nt so much a, breathe, lest 1 should 
frighten away the fishes, So I watched her, 
silently, as she climbed the fence and bent 
low over the water with her tin pail. 
“ Do you think you can catch one, Katie ?” 
1 whispered, anxiously, ’ leaning against a 
post and looking at her through the picket. 
“Climb over the fence still,” she whispered 
back, “ and hold this cover down in the 
water. There's a splendid big one right un¬ 
der that stone, and I’ll drive him right into 
the pail.” 
She began moving her small hand back 
and forth with great caution, about the stone, 
and 1 held my breath as a beautiful little 
fish swam into the trap we had prepared 
for him. Katie suddenly put her hand over 
the top,and took it up; hut, alas! we gazed 
in vain into the depths. Nothing but a 
quart of clear spring water rewarded us. 
The fish had been too quick, even for Katie, 
and had made his way out before we could 
secure him. 
“ We’ll have to try again,” said brave 
Katie. “ I will take it up quicker next time.” 
And she tried, and kept trying, but the 
little creatures seemed to have learned wis¬ 
dom from their playmate, I thought, for they 
steadily refused to come near us, and 1 could 
almost see them laughing at my vexation 
from under the stones. 
“ Wlmt’s to be done now,” I asked Katie, 
after we had waited half an hour without 
success, and she had whispered that they 
were all going away. “ Will they come 
hack?” 
‘‘No, we must go over into the other 
meadow,” she replied, in a confident way 
that convinced me she was fully equal to the 
emergency. 
So we scrambled over the fence again, and 
into “ the other meadow,” where we found a 
perfect “swarm of fishes," as Katie had 
told me we should. Aft er another half hour 
of watching and waiting we bent our steps 
homeward, taking with us one litlle“min- 
nie,” (.Katie always called them "minnies,” 
because she said it sounded prettier than 
“ minnow,”) who afterward became the 
“Seminary” of this story. A schoolmate, 
spending a day with me shortly after this, 
was invited to name my new pet, and re¬ 
membering a conversation we had been hav¬ 
ing an hour before, about our Alma Mater, 
called him “ Seminary,” I raised some ob¬ 
jections to the name on account of its length, 
but we soon learned to shorten it to “ Sent,” 
and he lias become, in the course of time, 
the pet plaything of the whole family. 
His globe hangs in one of the windows of 
our sitting-room, and now, as I write, I look 
up occasionally and see him sailiug about, 
knocking the stones and shells with his tail, 
and darting from one side to the other, play¬ 
fully. " Sent ” has become quite tame, and 
.A. PICTURE FTJ^ZL.K. 
How many and wliat Animals do you see in this l J ioture J* 
will take flies from my fingers, looking up at 
me with his bright black eyes, as if to thank 
me for any attention. Altogether, with his 
funny and finny ways, he leads a charmed 
life, I think. 
1 suppose he did not think so one evening 
last week, when growing discontented with 
his lot, and wishing to see more of the world, 
he managed to escape from his globe and fall 
to the floor. He didn’t seem to enjoy his 
new cjuarlers at all, for he flopped about un¬ 
der the table and against the sewing ma¬ 
chine, getting himself all fuzzy from the 
carpet. Maud took him up in her hand and 
hurried him back into bis native element, 
where he was soon fast asleep on the soft 
side of a small stone. I don’t think Semi¬ 
nary will want to get out again, but I took 
precautions against such another accident, 
by covering his globe with a wire net. 
Dear little Katie ! She hasn’t forgotten 
my love for the little creatures, and a few 
months ago she sent me two tiny specimens 
in a black bottle. 
“Taste of it,” said Alma, “it’s sweet 
cider.” 
I have never quite forgiven her for that 
practical joke, though I escaped swallowing 
the fish. 
1 thought I would send one to my friend 
—she had taken such a fancy to Seminary. 
After a few days I received a funny note 
from her, stating her delight at, the present, 
&c. She had named hint " Seminary, Jr.,” 
and fed him with the greatest care—but the 
next morning she had risen to find him dead. 
The cause of his death she affirmed to be 
grief at the loss of his mate; but 1 have al¬ 
ways secretly believed that she forgot to 
change the water in his globe. May the 
time he far distant when my little Seminary 
shall meet such a fate! e. e. d.

PROBLEM.-No. 10, 
One day a Newfoundland dog and a mas¬ 
tiff lmd a sharp discussion over a bone, or 
some oilier trifling matter, and warred away 
as angrily as two boys. They were fighting 
on a bridge, and being blind with rage, as is 
often the case, the first thing they knew, 
over they wont into the water. The banks 
were so high that, they were forced to swim 
some distance before they came to a landing- 
place. 
It was very easy for the Newfoundlander 
—he was as much at home in the water as 
a seal. But not so with poor Bruce. He 
struggled and tried his best to swim, hut 
made little headway. Old Bravo, the New¬ 
foundlander, had reached the land, and theu 
turned to look at his old enemy. He saw 
plainly that his strength was fast failing, and 
that he was likely to drown. Bo what should 
the noble fellow do hut plunge in and seize 
him gently by the collar, and keeping his 
nose above water, tow him safely into port. 
It was funny to see these dogs look at each 
other as soon as they shook their wet coats. 
Their glance said as plainly as words, 
“We’ll never quarrel any more!" and, sure 
enough, they kept their resolution. I think 
some boys might learn a good lesson from 
this old Newfoundland dog. 
A, B and C can do a piece of work in a certain 
number of days. If C, however, works tln-ce 
days before B commences, and B and C work 
two days before A commences, they will each do 
an equal share of the work, but it will take them 
three days longer to do the same than if they 
had all commenced it together. In what length 
of time would they severally perform it?
