of the bottle attracted the attention Of one the small

trophe, when the imp carries his victim with him
down into the pit that burns with fire and birthstone,
she inquired to know how they made the wings? We
venured to tax her creduty that those sort Of wings
grew upon all devils and their imps naturally, as
wings grow upon leather winged bats,
if she had caught a new idea,-" they are made of
whalebone and Calico"
We coull not help confessing to the child our
