OUT IN THE WOODS.
[Original]
Here is a picture nearer home. These children have a half holiday, and are spending it in the woods. They have not forgotten to take their baby brothers and sisters with them; and as the little ones are tired, they are taking a rest. Henry wishes his sister Alice to blow very hard upon the white feathery head of the dandelion seed, to see if their mother requires her at home; but Alice is a little afraid, in case it should be true, and this makes them all laugh very much.
