CHAPTETZ IX'. rittent If----, pi) OUR SECOND MOVING.' I could hardly help laughing ey- self ; but I begged ' Monaghan to convey the horrid creature away, kand putting me salt and sulpher into a tin pl' e, and .setting fire to it, placed it on the floor in the mid- dle of the room, and closed all the doors for an hour, which greatly as- sisted in purifying the house from the skunkifiCation.. Bell then wash - cd out the closet with strong ley, and in a short time no vestige re- mained of the malioious trick that Uncle Joe had played off upon us. The next day, we took pceses- elan of our new prapsion, and no one Was "better pleased - with the change than little Katie. She •'was now fifteen months old, 'and could just begin to Priottle, but she dared not -venture to step alone, although she would stand alone by a chair all day, and even. climb upon it. She • crept from room • to room, feeling and admiring every thing, and talk - i ig to it in her baby language. -So fend was the deal child of flowers, that her father used to hold- her up to the apple -trees, then rich in. their . full spring beauty, that she might kiss the blossoms. She would, pat them with her soft white hands murmuring like a bee among- the branelea. To keep her quiet whilst I was busy, I had only to give her a bunch of flowers. 4 She would sit as still as alamb, _looking first at one .and then a another, pressing- them to her -little breast in a sort of 'ec- staey, as if she comprehended the worth of this most beautiful of God's gifts „, ..... to man. The first night we slept in the new house, a demon of -unrest had ' taken posseSsion of it in the shape of a countless swarm of mice. They scampered over our .t.iilloves, and jumped upon. our faces, squeaking and cutting a thousand capers over the floor. 1 never could realizethe true value of _Whittington's invalu- able cat until that night. At first eve laughed until our sides eared, but inreality it was no laughing matter. • Moodie remembered that . we had left a nieuse-brap in the old house; he went and brought it over, baited it, and set it on the table near the bed. During the night DO lees than fourteen of the provoking vermin_ were captured; and for sev- eral succeeding nights the trap didr` _ equal execution. How -Uncle Joe's • fatal] y could Lave allowed such a nuisance to exist astonished me ; to sleep with these areatures continual - 1y running over us was impossible ; • and they were not the only evils in the shape of vermia eve bad to con- tend with. The. old logs • which composed the walls of the . house Were_ full Of. bugs and large black ants ; and the pace, owing to the umber ofdogs that always bad tlept under the Ikele with the children, were infeeted with fleas. It tequired the -utmost care to rid •- the, place of these noisome and dis- gusting tenants. Arriving in the • corn otry in the autumn; we had never experie,need any inconvenience frani • the rirosquitoes, but after the first tuoiet, war M SI)ring dAys, particular, ' ly after the showers, these torment- ing insects annoyed uS: greatly. The farm, lying in a valley cut up_ Iwith • little streams in every direction, inade us mere liable to their inflic- tions. The bands,' arms, and face of the poor babe were Covered every morning with red inflamed bumps, which often threw out blisters. • • The banks . of the little streams abounded with -wild strawberries,. • whiele although small, were of a de- • licioue flavor. Thither Bell ;and. 1, and the baby, daily repaired to gath- er the bright red berries of Nature's own providwg: Eatie, as yourg as - elte, was, wad Very expert at.helping 11 if, and we used too seat her in the middle of aline bed, whilst We gathered if,-ather on Ile,reing her t liking very lovingly to something in the guasS, which.
