0T The other day DR.. SIS three
children while playing in the nursery, de-
cided to have a railroad excursion. So
they all mounted up into the crib and
commenced rocking iull speed. After a
while it was proposed to have an acci.
dent, thinking, | suppose, it would be un.
fashionable to travel without one. So they
all took hold and tipped the crib over by
main force, and little Mary broke her arm
short off.
B-went TO see her, and was plying
her very much with her helpless and ban
daged arm, when Mary said:

monies, the names of young women were
put into box, from which they were
drawn by the men, as chance directed.
The pastors of the early Christian church
who by every possible means endeavor-
ed to eradicate the vestiges of pagan Su-
perstitions, and chiefly by some commu-
tations of their forms. substituted, in the
present instance, the names Of particular
saints, instead of those of the women !;
and, as the festival of the Lupercalia had
commenced about the middle of Februa-

because it occurred nearly at the same
