LITTLE JOHNNY’S ESSAY. 1 vit potty OW beautiful is nature! It is yin’ iy i wa | Hy 4 ! anything else that covers the surface of the earth, and one of the greatest beauties about the various articles that go to make up nature is their perfect naturalness—there is nothing false nor artificial about them. One bright and balmy summer day I strolled by the lake quite a good deal, and it gave me great pleasure to no- tice that it was a body of rip- pling water surrounded by a large amount of adjacent for- est, the rest of which was much more beautiful than f j | NEWSPAPER NOTE. * We're coming out a day earlier this issue.” are mostly bald-headed in patches here and there all over their bodies.
