But still she persists ill undressing her pet, 
And failing to do It quite ungry will get.

While Kitty Cat cries at what Pitty Put does 
To her one little coatee of silky soft luz. 
Then Pitty Pat's sorry, and asks why she cries 
At being fixed tidy for shutting her eyes.

Nor says, “Now I lay me," when going to bed, 
But curling up softly, sings “pun 1 ” Instead. 
So Pitty Pat tells her, in Boleinnest way, 
“ If you're a had Killy Cat, then I must pray,” 
•' Her lay* her—dear Father—down softly—In bed ; 
Her doesn't—do nullln—and nullln -her said—

LETTERS FROM GIRLS, 
Carrie Telia Purls Experiences. 
Dear Mu. Editor:—I have been wanting 
to write a letter for the Girls’ Department 
for a long time, hut have not been able to 
summon up enough courage to do so before. 
1 do not think 1 could tell anything new 
about country life, so 1 will relate a few 
things of what I saw in Europe, that maybe 
interesting to the girls who read the Rural 
New-Yorker. 
The children in Europe arc brought up 
very differenlly from what they are here; 
and in France especially, are not allowed to 
do a great many things which we do. They 
cannot go Into the street without being ac¬ 
companied by a bonne or nurse, just as if 
they were little babies. When we were in 
Paris, we lived quite close to the Tuilleries, 
t he city residence of the Emperor of France, 
and my brother and I were in the habit of 
going to the garden every day wit h o\ir halls 
and hoops, to play tinder the large trees with 
the little French children who were always 
there, with their bonnes. One afternoon 
we started as usual, and as mamma thought 
wc were able to take care of ourselves during 
the short walk we had to take before arriv¬ 
ing at the garden, we had no one with us. 
When we arrived at one of the large iron 
gates, of which there are several, and which 
are all guarded by soldiers, the guard stepped 
forward and pointed Ills bayonet at us, say¬ 
ing in French, “Where is your tonne ?—no 
vagrants areallowcd in here.” Just imagine 
how frightened we poor children must have 
been, and the more so ns we had gone in be¬ 
fore, and the guards had always let us pass. 
The garden is very beautiful. One part 
is reserved for the especial use of the Em¬ 
peror, when he is in Paris, hut the rest is 
public, and one has the privilege of exam¬ 
ining, through thfi iron fence, the beautiful 
flowers belonging to the Empress. There 
is a piece of woods, in which are scattered

in carrying the dirt out of their holes, and to 
gather t lie winter stock of provisions, which 
consists of grain, roots, potatoes, Ac. 
The gopher is Wry rarely seen out of the 
ground, whereas the ground squirrel only 
uses the holes for a nest, and hiding place. 
The gopher digs its hole, instead of pushing 
its way as the mole does. It throws up 
about half a bushel of dll’t in a heap, and 
these heaps or mounds in n great many 
places are quite numerous, and troublesome 
in mowing fields. The gopher is also inju¬ 
rious to the fanner’s young trees and veget¬ 
ables by cutting oil' the roots. It, is rather a 
hard tiling to catch, without a person un¬ 
derstands the business. After they have 
thrown up the mounds they always close 
up the hole, and the way the hoys do here, 
is to open, one of the last made mounds. 
They then make the hole large enough, gen¬ 
erally with the hand, to admit a small sized 
steel trap, which they shove into the hole a 
foot or more, and leave the hole open. The 
gopher will come to fill it up, and is pretty 
sure to get caught. Hometimes, however, 
they will (ill up hole, trap and all, in which 
case the only way is to dig it out and “try 
again.”— Prairie Girl.
