C. - -OR UNTEARABLE CLOTH--ONE SHILLING.] - -[Illustration: Emrik & Binger, Lith. 15 Holborn Viaduct.] - -[Illustration: THE OLD OAK TREE] - -Once upon a time there was an OLD OAK TREE in a gentleman’s park. It -grew beside a river, and stretched out its long strong arms, covered -with thick green ivy, as if welcoming everybody to its shelter. - -A number of animals took advantage of its invitations: - -First, at the foot of it, lived Bunny the Rabbit, with Mrs. Bunny, his -wife, and a fine family of sixteen children. There they ran in and out, -cocking up their little white tails, and popping into their hole as -quick as lightning the moment they saw anybody coming. - -Jerry, the Squirrel, who lived high up in the tree, used to look down -and pity Mr. Bunny very much; for he was so poor, had such a large -family, and not a single nut laid by for the winter! But Bunny knew -better; and when he, Mrs. Bunny, and the little gray Bunnies were -huddled together so warm on a winter’s night, he used to listen to the -wind, and say, “Poor Jerry! how cold it must be up there!” But Jerry -could wrap his tail round his neck like a boa, and fall sound asleep on -the tree-top. - -[Illustration] - -Below Jerry’s house, where the ivy was thickest, lived Cozie Cowl, the -Owl, with his wise nose, and his great yellow staring eyes. He kept a -singing-school at night, and when all the other birds were sleeping you -might hear Cozie Cowl and the Misses Cozie Cowl all singing, “Tu-whit! -Tu-who-o!” - -Then, among the ivy was a Robin Redbreast, a pair of Blackbirds, and two -lovely Tomtits; there was also a noisy family of Jackdaws, Mr. and Mrs. -Ray by name, in a hole in the trunk, which they called “Heart of Oak -Hall;” and, highest of all, lived a quiet old fisherman, called -Longlegs, the Heron. - -[Illustration] - -Most peaceably they all lived together, always polite and -neighbourly. They sang their best songs; and the Squire used to look up -and say,--“Ah! there is no tree so full of music as the OLD OAK.” - -[Illustration] - -One day a pair of new-comers came to the Old Oak Tree, and began to -settle themselves and build their nest. Mr. and Mrs. Jay (for that was -their name) were most beautiful birds, with crests on their heads and -pretty blue feathers on their wings; but their voices were loud and -sharp, and they seemed to be always scolding. - -They were full of curiosity about their neighbours, and peeped into -everybody’s house. “Why do you live down there, Mr. Bunny?” said Mrs. -Jay; “I’m sure your house must be damp, and unhealthy for the children.” - -Then they attacked Cozie Cowl:--“If you would only keep decent hours, -and come out the proper time of day, Mr. Cozie Cowl, it would do you a -world of good.” And Cozie, with all his wisdom, was so silly as to -believe them, and came tumbling out of his hole in the ivy, looking so -foolish that the mischievous Jays laughed at him, and pecked at him till -he crept into his corner again. - -“As for you, Jerry,” said Mrs. Jay, “I don’t believe you are a bit -comfortable up there. Why don’t you marry Miss Hedgehog, and set up -house decently?” - -[Illustration] - -And so these two naughty birds made everybody uncomfortable, and taught -those who had been contented before to despise their own houses and -lonely life; till at last, instead of sweet songs, there was nothing but -complaints and noises; and, loudest of all, the sharp harsh cries of Mr. -and Mrs. Jay were heard from the tree. - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -[Illustration] - -One day, the Squire and his lady, with their children, came past: “What -disagreeable noise is that? Oh, I see now, it is the Jays in that -oak--what pretty birds!” “Very pretty, my dear,” said her husband, “but -insufferably noisy: we must get rid of them.” And before night a gun -went _bang!_ and again _bang!_ and down went Mr. Jay and Mrs. Jay, with -all their fine feathers. And thus was peace restored to the OLD OAK. - -About this time, Jerry, who was a great favourite with everybody, took -to himself a nice little wife; and, in honour of the event, Mr. and Mrs. -Cozie Cowl determined to give a grand tea party. It was difficult to fix -upon a good hour, because, if it was during the daylight, Cozie Cowl -would be sure to fall asleep, and if it was at night, no one else would -be awake. So Mrs. Cozie, like a wise bird as she was, fixed on the -twilight hour, when the moon would rise soon and serve them for a lamp. - -[Illustration] - -What a nice feast she prepared for them! The best of nuts and acorns for -Jerry and his wee wife, beautiful dandelions for the Bunny family, -pretty speckled trout for Longlegs the Heron, grubs and grains for the -Jackdaws, and lovely fat worms for the Blackbird and Robin Redbreast; -while for Cozie himself she got the very thing in the world he liked -best--a particularly nasty dead mouse! Altogether there never was such a -merry party in the OLD OAK TREE. - -They sat a long time talking of many things, and at last they began to -talk about their great neighbours in the big house hard by. “The -Squire’s gardener is the best of men,” said Robin Redbreast; “he has -been digging up worms for me since six o’clock this morning!” “But what -do you think of the lady herself?” said Bunny; “I heard her order him to -fill the flower-beds with carnations, my own favourite food!” and the -sixteen little Bunnies cocked up their long ears at the thought. “I -know,” said the Blackbird, “the Squire’s cherries are the best in the -country. I am so much obliged to him.” “Yes,” said the Jackdaw, “and the -people who have put up the telegraph wires for us to sit upon!” - -[Illustration] - -“My friends,” said Cozie, “you know nothing about it. I fly about by -night, and know more than you do. I heard the gardener ordered to shoot -the Blackbirds who ate the cherries; to set traps for the rabbits; and I -heard my lady say she would like to have you, Jerry, my boy, running -round the treadmill in her Squirrel-cage! But as for the telegraph -wires, _they_ must have been put up for us to sit upon!” At this point -Mrs. Cozie volunteered a song; on which all the birds said “Good-night” -in a desperate hurry. - -[Illustration: Emrik & Binger, Lith. 15 Holborn Viaduct.] - -Now, the Jackdaws were not pleasant birds to have for neighbours. They -were always grubbing and pecking in Heart of Oak Hall, till they made -the hole too large to be good for the tree. Then the river that flowed -beside it, worked away among its roots and loosened it; so one day, the -Squire, as he came past, said, “That tree must be cut down.” - -[Illustration] - -Bunny, with his long ears, heard this, and ran directly to tell Jerry, -who agreed with him that it was a great risk to remain; so did Blackbird -and Robin. The Water Rat recommended a nice clean lodging to the -Bunnies. Jerry and his wife betook themselves to the horse-chestnut -tree; whilst Cozie Cowl and all the little Cozies just waited till it -was dark enough for them to see, and then they too flew away to another -shelter. - -But the Jackdaws would not be warned. “We have lived here always,” said -they, “and we are not going away now. This tree has stood for hundreds -of years, and it is likely to stand for a hundred more. You are always -so easily frightened, poor Bunny. Such a tree was never cut down in this -park, and never will be!” - -But the Squire had given his orders, and the next morning the woodmen -set to work to fell the Old Oak. The Jackdaws then began to think there -might be some truth in Jerry’s report; but when the woodmen went away to -breakfast, and all was still again, they believed their own opinion once -more, and went out as usual to find a dinner for their young family. -Grubs were scarce that day, and it was late before they returned home, -as they thought; but they had no home now. The ground was littered with -splinters and broken branches. The Old Oak Tree was lying prostrate on -the grass, and a few black feathers were floating down the river. - -[Illustration] - - - - - POND’S EXTRACT - - _Cures by External Application_ - - Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Hemorrhoids, Diarrhœa, Colic, - and all Inflammatory Diseases. - - It controls all Bleedings Internal or External.
