in a hurry. " No, I'll look first," she said, " and
see whether it 's
marked 'poison' or
not " ; for she had
read several nice
little stories about
children who had
got burnt, and eaten
up by wild beasts,
and other unpleasant
things, all because
they would not re
member the simple \_
rules their friends
had taught them : such as, that a red-hot poker
will burn you if you hold it too long ; and
that, if you cut your finger very deeply with
a knife, it usually bleeds ; and she had never
forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle
marked " poison," it is almost certain to disagree
with you, sooner or later.
However, this bottle was not marked " poison,"

" You are old, Father William" the young man said,
" And your hair has become very white ;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head—.
Do you think, at your age, it is right t"
" You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before,
And have grown most uncommonly fat;
Yet you turned a back-somersault in at the door—
Pray, what is the reason of that ? "
" You are old," said the youth, "and yourjaws are too weak
For anything tougher than suet;
Yet you finished the goose, with the bones and the beak—
Pray, how did you manage to do it ? "
" You are old," said the youth, " one would Iiardly suppose
That your eye was as steady as ever;
Yet you balanced an eel on the end of your nose—
What made you so awfully clever?"

' You 'd better not talk ! " said Five. " I heard
the Queen say only yesterday you deserved to be
beheaded."
"What for?"
said the one who
had spoken first.
" That 's none
of your business,
Two ! " said Seven.
" Yes, it is his
business ! " said
Five. "And I'll
tell him—it was
for bringing the
cook tulip-roots in
stead of onions."
Seven flung
down his brush, and had just begun " Well, of
all the unjust things—" when his eye chanced
to fall upon Alice, as she stood watching them,
and he checked himself suddenly : the others
looked round also, and all of them bowed low.

" Will you walk a little faster ? " said a whiting to a snail,
" There 's a porpoise close behind us, and he 's treading
on my tail.
See how eagerly the lobsters and the turtles all advance !
They are waiting on the shingle—will you come and
join the dance?
Will you, wo'n't you, will you, wo'n't you, will you
join the dance ?
Will you, wo'n't you, will you, wo'n't you, wo'n't
you join the dance ?
" What matters it how far we go?" his scaly friend replied.
" There is another shore, you know, upon the other side.
The further off from England the nearer is to France—
Then turn not pale, beloved snail, but come and join
the dance.
Will you, wo'n't you, will you, wo'n't you, will you
join the dance ?
Will you, wo'n't you, will you, wo'n't you, wo'n't you
join the dance ? "

CITIZEN BIRD.
Scenes from Bird Life in Plain English for Beginners. By
Mabel Osgood Wright and Elliott Coues. With One
Hundred and Eleven Illustrations by Louis Agassiz Fuertes.
12mo, Cloth, $1.50,
This first issue of The Heart of Nature Series — Citizen Bird— is
in every way a remarkable book. It is the story of the Bird-People
told for the House-People, especially the young House-People, being
dedicated "To All Boys and Girls who Love Birds and Wish to Pro
tect Them."
It is not a mere sympathetic plea for protection. It shows how Citi
zen Bird " works for his own living as well as ours, pays his rent and
taxes, and gives free concerts daily"; is scientifically accurate in de
scription of anatomy, dress, and habits; and is illustrated by over one
hundred engravings in half tone, together with descriptive diagrams,
and has a valuable index of some one hundred and fifty-four American
birds.
It is a question when one becomes too old to enjoy such a delight
ful and entertaining book.
