It was to get off may undo was waiting. We got to our destination at 12 o'clock. Then we had dinner, after which I went out to play with my friends. I stayed there one month, and was very sorry when the time came for me to leave. The train had left when I reached the station, but waited for another which came soon after. I got on the train in plenty of time and reached home safe.

THE LITTLE FRENCH GIRL.
Once there was a little girl who lived in France. She lived with her mother and father, but they were too poor to keep her, so they sent her over to America, where she could teach French and earn her living. She knew English, too. After bidding her mother and father goodbye, she left. She taught French five years and earned a lot of money. She got married to a very wealthy young man when she was twenty-one. She sent for her mother and father. They all became rich, and lived happily ever after. DOROTHY E. GRICE.
THE LITTLE POOR GIRL.
Once there was a little girl named Ann. Her mother and father were both dead, and she lived by herself in the little house in the forest. One day she was walking in the woods, and she sat down to rest a while because she was tired, and she went to sleep.
