LADY overheard her nurse-girl talking to the little child she was
<■ ■£)'£ putting to sleep, and saying—
^^~ "If you don't go right to sleep this minute, a big, awful black
bear, with eyes like coals of lire, and sharp, white, cruel teeth, will come
out from under the bed and e-a-t y-0-11 a-1-1 u-p ! "
The poor little thing huddled up under the clothes in terror.
That night, when the nurse had composed herself in her own bed, and put
the light out, there came a sudden rap at the door —
" Maggie ! Maggie ! " cried her mistress, " for mercy's sake get up as quick
as you can ! There's a fearful burglar under your bed, and as soon as you
get to sleep he's coming out to rob and murder you ! "
At the word burglar the girl sprang screaming from the bed and rushed
into the hall. When the girl's fears were calmed, her mistress said to her—
" You did not hesitate to tell my little delicate child, who could not possi-
bly know that it was a lie, a cruel story of a bear under her bed ; now, when
1 treat you to the same kind of story you are frightened to death."

Life is most enjoyed
When courted least; most
worth when disesteemed.
Young.
1.— "The general charac-
ter of June," says Howitt,
"in the happiest seasons,
is fine, clear, and glowing,
without reaching the in-
tense heats of July. Its
commencement is the only
period of the year in which
we could possibly forget
that we are in a world of
perpetual change and de-
cay. The earth is covered
with flowers, and the air
is saturated with their
odours. It is true that
many have vanished from
our path, but they have
slid away so quietly, and
their places have been oc-
cupied by so many fragrant
and beautiful successors,
that we have scarcely been
sensible of their depar-
ture. Everything is full of
life, greenness. and vigour.
Families of young birds
are abroad, and give their
parents a busy life of it,
till they can pick for them-
selves. Rooks have desert-
ed the rookery, and are
feeding their vociferous
young in every pasture,
and under every green tree.
The swallow and swift are
careering in the clear skies,
and
Ten thousand insects in the
air abound,
Flitting on glancing icings,
that yield a summer
sound."
5.— In the Middle Ages
animals formed as promi-
nent a part in the worship
of the time as they had
done in the old religion of
Egypt. The cat was a very
important personage in re-
ligious festivals. At Aix,
in Provence, on the festi-
val of Corpus Christi, trie
finest Tom cat of the coun-
try, wrapt in swaddling
clothes like a child, was
exhibited in a magnificent
shrine to public admira-
tion. Every knee was bent,
every hand strewed flowers
or poured incense, and
Grimalkin was treated in
all respects as the god of
the day. But on the festi-
val of St. John, poor Tom's
fate was reversed. A num-
ber of the tabby tribe were
put into a wicker-basket
and thrown alive into the
midst of an immense fire,
kindled in the public square
by the bishop and his
Clergy. Hymns and an-
thems were sung, and pro-
cessions were made by the
priests and people in ho-
nour of the sacrifice.
6.— On the evening of this
day, in 17S0, during the
