leasant fortunes, as she looked in thepalms of the soft little hands that the childrenshowed her. They had a charming time, and all rememberedit well; for that night, when the fun was over,every one in bed, and the world asleep, a greatstorm came on ; the wind blew a gale and chimneytops flew off, blinds banged, trees were broken,apples whisked from the boughs by the bushel, andmuch mischief w-as done. But worst of all, thedear little house was blown away ! The roof wentin one direction, the boards in another, the poorhorse lay heels up, and the rest of the animalswere scattered far and wide over the garden. Great was the lamentation next morning when thechildren saw theruin. Theboys feltthat it was pastmending, and gave it up; while Oueenie consoledherself for the devastation of her farm by thechildish belief that a crop of new cats and dogs,cows and horses, would come up in the spring fromthe seed sown broadcast by the storm. So that was the sad end of the little house in thegarden.

MY sister Kitty has lovely fans,—Oh, ten times finer than sister Anns !Kittys are beautiful — satin, and pearl,(Kitty was always a dressy girl !)Ebony, tortoise-shell, lace and gold ;Shimmering, shining in every fold ;Bedecked and trimmed with fur and feather,—And she needs them even in winter weather. Anns (ah, how many she has!) are plain.Clean and cool as the summer rain ;Paper and palm-leaf fans are they,Three for a dime, I have heard her say;Strong and firm, yet light to bear,And laden with cool, refreshing air.As. bound on errands of help and pity,She carries them through the scorching city. To-day she is sitting by tinv bedsCooling poor little, suffering heads;Fanning lightly — softly— slowTill the little ones far into dreamland go. I often think of these different fans.Kittys, so lovely — and sister Anns. Bessie Hill. 786 A YANKEE BOY S ADVENTURE AT THE SEA-SIDE. (August, A YANKEE BOYS ADVENTURE AT THE SEA-SIDE. (A True Story.)
