CEijl story.

A philosopher once asked little girl il
she Lad a soul. She looked up into his face
with an air Of as.on:sAment and offend e,!
dignity, and replied:
ITO DC sure have"
"What makes you think you h.veT,
"Because have" she promptly replied.
"But how do you kaow you have a soul1"
because l do know" she answered again
!, 1t was ehiid's reason; but the phlloSo-
pher could hardly have given better.
"Well, then" said he, after moments
consideration, III you know you have = soul
can you tell me what your soul is 1'
"Wby," said she, Il am six years Old, and
don't you suppose that know what my SOU
isr'
Perhaps you do. If you will tell me,
shall find out whether you do or not"
''rhen you think don't know" she re-
piled; but do. It's my think"
"You. think :" said the philosopher, as
tonished in his turn; "who told you 500"
Nobody. should be ashamed if l did
not knos without being told"
The philosopher had puzzled his brain a
great deal about the soul, but he could moi.
have given better definition of it in so few
words.

4 Tender Lay.
Be gentle to the new laid egg,

Be gentle to the new laid egg,
For eggs arc brilliant things;
They cannot fly until they're hatchsd,
And have a pair Of wings:
If once you break the tender shell,
Tie wrong you can't redress
The ''yeIk aud white" will all run out,
And make dreadful "nless."
Ills but little while at best,
Tha: hens have power to lay
Tomorrow eggs may addled b, r. 2
That were quite kesh to-day.
Oh. let the touch be very light
That takss them from the key;
There i no hand whose cunnisx skill
Can mend broken egg!
Ay-touch it with tender touch,
For till the egg is bi!ed,
Who knows but that unwitinglv,
1t may be smashed and spilled.
The summer breeze that 'einss it blows
Ought to be stil!ed and husLsd
For eggs like youthful purity,
Are ''orful" when they're squshed.
