Text Appearing Before Image:
.They are partial to sandy hillocks, because light soilis so much more easy to burrow. The grey rabbitis the most common to America. Rabbits as white as snow originated in extremenorthern latitudes. I knew a person, however, whohad a pair of snow-white rabbits. They escapedand burrowed the ground in the carriage-yard, andsoon, strange as it may seem, the farm seemedoverrun, not only with white rabbits, but with blackones, and yellow ones, and black-and-white, andyellow-and-white. They soon became such a nui-sance in stripping bark from trees that the farm-people were glad to shoot and eat them. When I was a little girl I knew an old mother-rabbit who raised several families of children. WhenI first became acquainted with her, she was feedingon a grassy knoll with two of her rabbitkins. Whathad become of the the rest of the family, I neverknew. These two, also, soon left her, and a fewdays afterwards she was missing. Searching aroundwhere I had seen her so much, I found a hole. Very 78
Text Appearing After Image:
Mrs. Rabbit and Her Babbitkins. DOWN BY THE CREEK. carefully I followed this up in a zig-zag directionwith a sharp-pointed trowel until I came to a large,commodious, underground room, carpeted with aquantity of soft hair she had actually pulled fromher own body. There I found eight wee blind nakedbaby-rabbits. The mother-rabbit will scarcely leavethem for the two first days, and then, so the storygoes, she has to hide them from papa-rabbit, who, per-haps disgusted with such forlorn-looking creatures,thinks the best thing he can do is to eat them upout of their helplessness ! The mother even keepstheir nest a secret, by covering up the hole everytime she goes out, until the little rabbits are a monthold. Then she takes them to the mouth of the holeand brings them vegetables to eat. When papa-rabbit sees them, he is glad, and draws them beneathhis paws, strokes their fur, and tries to show howvery much he cares for them! As rabbits cannot articulate sounds, they havea way of thumping on
