when Ann came in from having, rs she said.
short chatter with a friend, she detected
her little help in some misdemeanor, and
proceeded to reprimand her for it. In the
course OF her Anna-'mad versions, she said :

"Whcn my grandmother, long since in
Heaven, was about three years Of age, she
was taken to the funeral of deceased play
mate. The little corpse was lying in its cof-
fin, around which flowers were strewn and
she, being lifted up, kissed its cold cheek and
whispered
PLEASE give my love to God ="
This strikes me as one of the sweetest
expressions | ever heard made by child.
"Our little Charlie has always been in the
habit of saying little prayer before going
to bed. a few evenings since, all things be-
ing ready for retiring, and when he was about
to kneel at his mothers knee, he stopped,
and looking earnestly into his mothers face
said:
Mamma, am tired of saying somebody
elses prayer; maynt make one myself p

you really wish to-" a.
lie knelt very reverently and clasped his
hands; then, with the earnestness of unaf-
fected childhood, said to his mother:
Mamma, if get stuck, will you help me

HMy little boy, after listening some time
to his mothers efforts to get n peddler to
throw in something with everything she
purchas cd c st his longing eyes on some prim-
ers in the trunks The peddler, reading
his wishes, offered to give him one. The lit,

will throw in something"
"A little girl had been playing in the street
until she had become pretty well covered with
dust. In trying to wash it off she didn't use
enough water to prevent the dust rolling up
in little balls upon her arms. In her trou-
BILE, she applied to her brother, little older
than herself for solution of the mystery. 1t
was explained at once-to his satisfaction, at
least ~.. .... .-. ...-..
"Why, sis, you've made of dust, and if
you don't stop you'll wash yourself all away!"
This opinion, coming from an elder
brother, was decisive, and the washing was
discontinued ~." -.
Aone day, a little school mate of Wille's
was in here, and the two got to disputinc
about the number of days in week; Willie
persisting that there were seven, and his lit
tie opponent stoutly maintaining that there
were only six. WELL said Willie, YOU saw
them over and will count" So the DAYS
were named and counted, from Monday to
Saturday, inclusive; and then there was a
pause, which Willie broke by saying:
".And Sunday"
ooh ! said his diminutive opponent, with
look Of supreme contempt that belongs
to the other week r. ..-..s- ..... ... =
"One pleasant day last summer, l took my
seat in the stage coach bound from Fall Riv-
er to c.. Among the passengers was q
little gentleman who had possible seen five
summers. The coach being quite full, he sat
in the lap of another passenger. While on the
way, something was said about pick pockets,
and soon the conversation became general
on that interesting subject. The gentleman
who was then holding our young friend re-
marked: 9.Tss E. s-..' .&l ...... .
my fine fellow, how easy could pick
your pocket" ~. . ......
NO, YOU couldn't replied he, I've been
looking out for you all the time!'"
AsKiNa FOR WoRK.-To me,--speakina
from my heart and recording my delibcrat,
opinion upon n material, which will far out
last my own fabric--therc is something deep
ly affecting in the spectacle of young man
in the prime Of his life and v;gor, offerin,
himself voluntary slave in the labor mark
ct without purchaser, eagerly offering t
barter the use Of his body, the day-long cS
ertion Of his strength, the wear and tear {
his flesh and blood, bone and muscle, for tn
common nccessaries oflife---earnestly cravin
for bread on the penal conditions prescribe
by his Creator and in vain, in vain We
for the drone of the social hive that ther
are bees Of an industrious turn, willing 70
an infnitesmal share of the honey TO under
take the labor Of its fabrication. = 1hon'a
