Wilbur, aa her little daughter came into the kitchen one morning, with her hat Ml. "Out into the woods," said Bertie. â€" •'What for " asked her mother, unconcern- edly, fcr Bertie was in no danger of being loat, as iha was perfectly acquainted with evory pait of the wood. â€" "I am going to hunt for a f jdry," answered Bertie. "Dont you think i mamma, that if I should go very easy and look very carefully, I might find (me asleep under a fern?" â€" "Bat said Mis, Wilbur, "tbe fairies play all night and go home in the morning." â€" "Well," said Ber- tie, "you know one little gitl fairy might be very tired, and lie down a minute to rest and go to sleep, and not wake up until it was noon." â€" "Very well, don't stay too long and find a good fairy, for my little giri^B playmates must be good " And Mrs. Wilbur went on with her work, soon for- getting all about Bartie and the wished-for fairy. â€" Bertha Wilbur was ten years old. She was the only child of educated and well-to-do parents but although she lived very happuy with papa and mamma, and had many advantages of books, pictures, music, etc. which are denied to many coun- try children, she often felt very lonesome, and would wish for a little brother or sis- ter to play with. The neighborhood in whioh Bertie lived was rather aristocratic and old, and there being no children in it, with the ' exception of Bertie, the twoadjoiningschool districts had been united, so the nearest school was three miles away. On account of the distance, aad because Mrs. Wilbur was very strict ia regard to Bertie's choice of p!aymates, the little girl had never been to school and her parents liad been her only teachers. But being an on'y child, she was more advanced in many things than most children of her age. She was a nice little reader, could Ifiite very well, and pieced e piano with soma grace. But Bertie's favorite occupation was reading and aa she was furnished with a plenty cf books suited to her age, she was seldom in the house without a story book in her hand. She was very fond of fairy stories, and had read a great many tales of sylphs ^and sprites. She had a large dog, with whom she had roamed over the fields and woods of her father's farm until she was at home in its re- motest part. When Bertie left the house she went to find Lion, her dog, and calling "Ii(u!" "Lion " once or twice, in a mo- ment he came bounding along with hia pin^c tongue lolling out of his great mouth, and his great tail wagging like the top of a fir tree in a storm. Bertie gave liim a pat on the head, and away he went gamboling along ahead, now and then stopping to wait for his mistress, and then msiiing on far ahead. The woods were about a quarter of a mile from the house, and were on rising ground so Bartie did not hurry, for she wai not a strong child, and c'.imbing was rather tiresome to her. By the time she had reached the top of the hill. Lion was nowhere to be seen, but as he made a point to hunt rabbits whenever his mistress went Into the woods, she was not at all surprised. Wandering aloog, picking here and there a wild flower and occasionally stopping to watch a squirrel or bird, Bertie had forgot- ten all about Lion, until far in the woods she heard liim barking vigorously. But supposing he had treed a squirrel, or had found something else of interest, she paid no heed, until Lion came crashing through the underbrush, and made Bertie follow him by pulUng at her dreas, and then run- ning along before her. "Why, L!on, what is the matter " asked Bertie. "What have you found Well, you're a nice doggie, and we'll go right and find it."â€" ••Bow, wow, wow," said Lion, and soon disappeared from Bertie's sight, but kept up his call. Bertie followed as quick as the tangled vines and thick bushes would let her, and at last found herself in the middle of tiie wood beside an old wood-road, which had not be n used since the winter before. Lion was there and ceased to bark when he saw his little mistress, and ran to her, frolicking around so gleefully, that Bertie was for a minuts quite bewildered. "Now, Lion, I've come, why don't you show me what you've found Oh oh 1 oh My sakes Yon blessed little darling I" cried Bertie in delight â€" for what do you think Lion showed her A tiny bit of a baby in a market basket Of course Bertie did not .stop to think of any thing else but to take the basket and hurry home as fast as she could. Her burden was quite heavy, and she could not carry it without some difficulty but she was too much delighted and excited to rest. Lion trotted along beside her, and every min- ute or two he would put up his nose to the basket to see if its contents were sAf e. Ber- tie was very tired when she readied the house, but she ecjkroely realizad it, being so Wrought up with deught. She did not think but what she should keep the baby always, and forgot that the wee thing had a mother, who was perhaps now seeking after it, and nearly frantic with sorrow at its loss. No, Bertie was only ten years old aad did not think of thow things. Btmg went the sitting room door, and in mshM Bertie with her basket. "Oh! Mammik, see what I've got. See it's littie hsnis and oh, its going to open its eyes, I guess I It was asleep, and I took it and came home quick Oh, my and Lion barked first and 1 went, and A, oh, ohâ€" e I" and Bsrtie was actually obliged to atop and take breath.â€" ••Why Bertie 1 What liave you done,;«rii0re did yoo^nS^tiilababy?" uid Mrs. Wilbur opened her ey«« in great aaton- iahment. After Ba|:tia liadnifficienF,gaia- ed her breath she told her mothor au about the fiading of her ••fairy," as dM paiaistad fa caU|M«ie UtOo^iim^ 39* b^ iBMa»t •w wtee wMfa old, ud «m m onall ttat ilvMalBioctftfaiiy. ItWMft ttttkdaA. eyed girl, and oven at that tendw age evfac • ed M mndi brightaMsa and good hamor,giat tiie fandly f eU lo love with it at onoe. Ber- tie's father immediately made inqi^nea about the neighborhood in respect to|the parents' cf the child, and endeavored^ o out the facts relating to the abandon- ment of so small a child. After some tronblo Mr. Wabur learned from a distant farmer, that a band of gypsies had been camping in the woods near his farm, bnt having appro- priated the poultry of some neighboring farmers they haa been driven away. Ac- oording to this man's story, there were in the party two men, three women, and s..ver- al children large enough to walk and mn. So no evidence aa to thero being a very small child in the party, was found. After ob- taining this information, Mr. Wilbur had the woods searched for miles around, but wi h no succecs, and finally, the search was given up, and Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur decid- ed to keep tae child (to Bertie's unbounded delight), unt 1 tome one should claim it, or its history should be cleared up. It need not be told how proud and fond Bertie was of her little "fairy," and wh6n the baby grew old enough to laugh and chattel, and run about, she watched it with patient care. As soon as the child was old e' ovgb, Bertie taught her to read and write, ana do various little things becoming to childhood. Far we must remember that as f .ist as baby grew, Bertie advanced in years, and was now quite a little lady. No other name than Fairy had ever been given to the child, be- cause Bertie declared that she was a little black-eyed sprite whom she had found in the woodi. So Fairy grew aa fast as a daisy and when she was about five years old Ber- tie induced her parents to adopt her, and she was chriatened with the name of Fairy Wilbur. Fairy was such a pretty, cheerful, and clever child, that she won the love of everybody, and from Bertie she vras inse- parable. Bertie always said that she had a good fairy, but that Lion must have the praise of finding her, and when Bertie wouldask Lion if he ever found a fairy, he wo-ld run to Fairy with a loud "bow wow," and a vigoroua wag of his tail, THLJif B£ SH^FEBS ABBOAD. [How the Tlctlm ts i*oaKbt- Baekct. -Tben the Time and again has our farming commun- ity been done up by cute sharpers, who have some wonderful patent invention, a lightning rod, a reaper and mower, a pa- tent steam thresher hay rake, com mill, wind or fanning mill, seed sower, potato digger, or some one or other of the very many and useful inventions calculated to lighten labor and at the same time exped- ite the gathering of crops. Even that cruel invention, the barb wire fencing, has been introduced into the scheming racket to do up the iadustrions husbandman, and we re- gret to add the operation too often proves successful. The modvs optrandi of the sharper goes about thus â€"First, he is care- ful to select for his victim some farmer who ia fairly fixed with thu world's goods, and if one can be found who has a cute aspiration to speculateâ€" so much the better. Then, the next point is the bank where he deposits. He is then laid wait for at the city, town, or village hotel wh«re he is known to put up. Here he ia carefully siz )d up. His habits are fully studied, amd an acquaintance scrapi- ed. In a sort of free and easy careless way the article to be disposed of is mentioned the enormous success its sale has met how farmer Ratger cleared in one season's deal a cool $5,000, and so on ad finitum,9Ji the story goes. After a long streak of fabrica- tions comes the finale.' "Say, look here you are just the man to take hold of this you have the reputation of being the most successful farmer in all this country. I don't want to put this in everybody's hand. There â-  Joe. Littlejoha, he's ambitions to g( t hold of it, but he ain't the man from Gal- way. I'll put it in your hands, give you the solsâ€" the only ri^ht to sell ' Thus flattered up a contract is entered into, and au order signed, accepting the agency. This document is so cunningly arranged that it is torn in two, and a bona fide note is then left in the hands of the dodger that on presentation at the; b!nk is cashed and poor farmer Dob^On has to foot the bill. This is only one form â€" ^there are many more. The inventive genius ot this class who rack theii brains to carry out a -swindling trick to raise money, is ever ready to concoct some ne w dodge One of the latest is in the form of silver table ware â€" or some other house- hold article that will catch the eye of the thrifty housewife. This trick is even car- ried into the stores of general dealers and may have already been nipped. Although repeatedly warned by the newspaper press, our country ^^^jousIj;^ fall into the trap. Either their 'ambition' to- turn an easy pen- ny is too strong to resist the temptationâ€" or their straight greed for gain carries them clear past what they should see, a fraud, on mature reflection, or still worse they are ignorant, because they have been too penur- ious to subscribe for a newspaper, and thus obtain a fair warning. Just now there are many of this class of dandy business specu- lators hustling around Ontario, and we say to one and allâ€" look, look thoughtfully;â€" don't look at the amount to be gained, but look at the way that end is to be reached. Just remember tliat. you have bad a fair warning to be on the alert for sharpers, and then if you will bite, why of course yon alone are tv blame for malting yotirself a victim.
