When Nellie vas three and half
years old, she CHANGED to visit q cousin,
a few months older than herself. They
played harmoniously for some time, but
at length dispute arose about a few
beads, Of which each determined to gain
a possession. Just as it seemed evident
That struggle would ensue, new idea
struck Nellie. Relinquishing her hold
OF the coveted prize, she exclaimed,
while her countenance glowed with sat-
isfaction, at what she felt to be a concIu-
sive argnment-"Ob, Lizzie, you should
remember the Golden Rule, to be kind
to each other-give me all of Them"
An artist allowed little Fannie to look
over while he drew landscape for Ter.
After watching for q few moments the
progress of the picture, she exclaimed
80, Mr.. Wells, do tell me how you make
nay eff so beautifully" The artist
priced the compliment although the
critic was only three and half years
old.
Eddie's grandma reprimanded him for
an act of disobedience, and told him it
was her duty to let his mama know how

A little boy kneeling At his mothers
knee, to say his evening prayer, asked
leave to pray in his own words, and
with ch'ldllke simplicity, said-"God

burn up-God bless papa and mama
God bless me ard make my boots 90
