LETTERS.

Fairiel, —One'day I woke up about 4 o'clock in tho morning. I .heard birds singing such pretty songs, and I felt a-s if I. could listen;• to them for ever. Dear Fairiel, that same day I found I had a little baby sister. .. "FLOWER FAIRY." Packakariki. Dear Fairiel,—On Saturday afternoon my .father, .brother, and myself went out to" farm'in the country. My father had to iphotograph some sheep, so while he was. doing that, we strolled round to look at'things. There was a big turkey and a turkey hen. The mother and father turkeys had about twenty little chicks, each of which was striped almost the game as emu chicks. As well as the turkeys there were dogs, kittens, horses, sheep, and fowls. There were two dogs, one a shaggy English sheep, whose name was Chicl, and the other was a smooth-coated collie: his name was Glen. On the way there and back we saw two magpies. One was larger than the other, and had more white on his body. I have been before, and it. was there that a girl, my brother, and myself saw something "awful!" We had been playing round "some old tree-trunks when I suddenly saw something on one of them, and, Fairiel, do you know what it was? It was an extra large Now Zealand scorpion, or, waiter. , We sid not play there any more that day!—My love to you, Fairiel, and all the Fairy Ring. Your loving Elf. "IVANHOE."
