Wiii, Voli,
I stood nonr tho door of tho arbor;
In the dreamy light beyond,
Your hammock was slowly drifting.
Your gown was a trailing wand;
And under the creeper roses,
Red and yellow and white,
Shadowy leaves were Hitting,
Playing in streaming light:
Playing, Hitting, dancing
Over your face and hair,
Some of them kiss'd your temple
While you were swinging there.
Tho gentlest breezes blowing
Caress' d youv throat and face;
On your gown, at, your breast, there
trembled
The tiniest lilm of lace.
Your hammock had ceased its swinging,
Your book lay face to the earth.
A saucy red-robin above you
Twittered in meaningless mirth.
You left on my heart as you lay thore,
Asleep in the light of tho day;
A picture indelibly printed:
I stole it when T slipp'd away.

Two littlo girls woro playing in tho house
one rainy day. They had dressed their dolls
and had a party for them. Then thoy had
played school: and well thoy had done al
most everything and were beginning to wish
thoy could go out-of-doors, when thoy spied a
pair of thoir father's cutis on tho dresser.
"Oh Nellie," said Maud, "wouldn't these
make nice hats?"
"Yes, we can tie strings in the button holes
liko this" said littlo Nellie, "and put 'om
on so."
In a few minutes two funny littlo white
hats perched upon those two little curly heads
and two laughing littlo girls wont to show
thoir grand-ma.
But instead of a string, Maud had used a
lil tie pink ribbon to tie her cuff together with.
Nellie didn't, sec it at first but when she
did her eyes filled with tears and she said
"Oh Maudio, give me that."
"No," said Maud, "I found it and there
was only enough for one."
"Well then," said Nellie "you take it out
and use a string liko mine. Won't you dear?"
Thore wasn't any answer to this but in a.
little while their grand-mother saw her two
little girls again, and both were happy, and
both had hats that were tied with strings.
