paying special attention to a young lady,
met with the following incident during one
of his visits.
Being invited in the parlor to await the
lady appearance. he entertained himself as
best he might for some time, and was be-
coming very weary, when little girl about
FIVE years old, slipped in and began to con-
verse with him.
Il can always tell when you are coming
to our house" she said.
You can; and how do you tell?'' he
asked.
why. when you are going to be here,
sister begins to sing aud get good she gives
me cake and pie, and everything | want,
and she sings 50 sweetly when you are here,
and when speak to her she smiles so pleas
antly | wish you would stay here all the
while then would have good time. But
when you go off sister is not good. She gets
mad, ard if ask her anything, she slaps
and bangs me about.
This was a poser for the young man.
''Fools and children tell the truth" quoted
he, and taking his hat he left and returned
no more.
MoRAL.-Parents wishing their ill-natur-
ed daughter married. should keep their small
children out of the parlor when strangers
