we let that thing alone, it will let us alone. Our witnesses tell us that it has
never been known to move, and for my part I would as soon expect these trees
to turn about and chase us as that. Of course it swings its arms around, but
that it cannot help. It is its nature to swing its arms, and if we get within
reach of them we must expect to get hurt. I believe if we crows will let it alone
and mind our own business it will not bother us in any way.”

Approval of the judge’s decision was seen on every face. The committee
adjourned to report to the community, and the community adopted the report
with every claw uplifted, and ordered it spread on the records. After that the
crow family thrived, and though still a little afraid of the wind-mill, seeing that
it took no notice of them they finally grew so bold that they went daily to the
trough at its feet, where the cattle drank, for their morning bath, and to wash
down the corn which sometimes stuck in their greedy throats. You may be sure,
however, that they took good care to keep out of the way of its long arms and
their deadly embrace. :

NOPH, tell me when does Some day

come,
( That wonderful bright day,
” Where all the best times are put
off,
And pleasures hid away!
1 know the rest of all the days
Just as they read and run;
Can say and spell them week by week,
And count them one by one.

   

They bring me now and then, fine things,
Gay toys, and jolly play;
But never, never such fine things

 

As are kept hid away

In that great wonder-land, that lies
Forever out of sight,

Which I can never, never find
By any day or night.

But some time, ah! I’m very sure,
When I grow big and tall,

I'll find the way to that Some day,
And hidden there, find all

The treasures I have wanted so,
And missed from day to day—

The treasures they have always said
That I should have Some day.
