ROBIN and a sparrow sat on the . limb of a tree, sheltered from the rain which was softly falling, making everything green and sweet. I never saw such weather, said the sparrow, "everything will be we; ana the rrounds muddy." I think it is nice," said tn-e romn; everything will be clean and the whole country will be green. This weather is too not,' said me soarrow: I do not like it. Oh! I like it." said the. room, -tne corn will grow and the cherries, too. Do you like the cold -weather?" he asked the sparrow. 'No." replied the sparrow; "that is the trouble with this world. It is all wrong; it is either too cold or too hot." "Why do you not go South, as 1 do. when the cold days' come?" asked the robin. It is too far to travel." replied the sparrow. ow look at mat sun snm- nsr " ho said. I -do not see why tne rain did not keep on falling as long as it had started." Yes, it is nice and cool atter tne shower," said the robin; the breeze ill soon dry the trees. "And we'll all get cold. I suppose." said the sparrow; "the idea of a breeze like this blowing after a shower! Yes, am sure I shall take a cold. "There is the maid throwing us crumbs,." said the robin; "let us fly down and get them." "She la probably putting them there eo the cat will get us whn we pick them up," said the Bparrow. "Oh! no," said the robin, "she is a kind-hearted girl and often throws them out for the birds." So the sparrow flew down with the robin. "They are nice crumbs," remarked the robin as he hopped about. , "They are too big," said the spar row. "I wish sue had broken them in smaller pieces, and she scattered them about so we would have to hunt for them. I suppose." "Here is some water," said the robin, hopping to a basin that had been put out for the hens. "Those hens have everything where they can find it." said the sparrow. "We have the benefit of it also," said the robin. "That may be," said the sparrow, "but no one ever put-out a basin of water for us. It is a hard world. This morn ing my nest was almost destroyed by a careless woman who attempted to open a blind behind which 1 had my nest, but I flew about and made such a fuss that she fastened the blind again and saved my home." . "I think she was a very kind woman to do that." said the robin, "for no, doubt she wished to shut out the hot sun and keen her room cool." "She should look first," replied the narrow, "and have some thought of others. She might have known that therA war a nest behind that blind. "You should build in trees," said the robin, "where there are" no blinds to close." "And have the cat get me," Baid the sparrow. "No, I thank you, I'll build behind blinds and 'if people are unkind enough to disturb us we must fight for our rights. "It is raining again," said the robin "let us flv back to the tree." "Did you ever see such luck," said the sparrow. "I had Just finished dry ing my feathers. Oh. this world is all wrongl The days will soon be short again, and we shall have to go to bed eatly and get up late. Why can't we have days all the same length, I should like to know? "I cannot explain that, replied the robin, "but I feel sure that the world is all right. Don't you think that your view of it may be wrong? "Wrong! exclaimed the sparrow. with indignation in his voice. "No in deed! It is the world that is wrong. not I. Good-night," ha. said, as he flew away. B The robin looked after the sparrow for a moment. I am glad I do not feel the way the sparrow does," he said to himself "He -Is unhappy, and I am inclined to think the fault is with him and not with the world. I think it is a beautiful, glorious world to live in. (Copyright.
