are to the world just what plums are to
plum pudding they make it the
richer. In fact, they give it its rich
ness. Now we all know what plum
pudding would be with the plumbs left
out. So our world which is the best
one we know anything about, would,
without the merry children, be sort
Of gloomy funeral hymn all the time.
This world is only great big pud-
ding you know any way, and though
there are some very nice grown people
mixed up in it, still they are really
(but you must not tell I told you )only
the dried apples, which are sometimes
in puddings mixed with the plums.
You may be very sure children, that
you are Of much more Importance in
this world, than any of us dare to tell
you, and some of you, if not all, preach
sermons every day to which a minister's
long Sunday lecture cannot hold can
die. l have found many of your an
swers to people, who try to puzzle and
quiz you. And I've found doctors too,
among you. One day remember, 1
surprised a young urchin Who held a
board in his hands, on which lay two
or three rows Of wings and legs of mur-
dered flies -
"Why Charlie" l said, ''what are
going to do with those things; and how
could you be so cruel as to tear the legs
and wings off the poor flies %
"Pshaw," answered Charlie, "they
don't care. I'm going to give them to
the old flies whose legs are worn out.
"But what are those poor fellows
going to do, whose legs you've torn
off,"
"Oh was the cool answer, they've
gone dead, and don't know it.
"Do you think Charlie,' I asked,
"you would be willing to have your
legs and arms pulled off for your old
grandfather, because be is lame !?
"No!' raped out the incorrigible,
"of course not. But bugs bug, aud
a boys a boy; and they are two differ
ent things entirely, and that's all I've
got to say about it"

1t is not that object to your saving
of the wooden heads of the animals in
your Noah's ark, nor sticking pins in
your dolls, and making the saw-dust fly

The Future OF New York.

The Herald closes long article OH the
commercial situation as follows:
"The time is not far off when great re-
vulsions in n commercial country like the
United States will hardly be possible.
Capital to any amount can be used now
instantly wherever it is needed, and that,
in most cases, without changing the place
of deposit. Looking, then, at the vast ac-
cumulated capital in Europe, at the diff
ference of interest on money there and in
the United States, at the growing conf
dence in the securities and property OF
this country, and at our resources and pro-
gress, we have reason to expect great re-
suits from the operation of the telegraph.
In fact, the time is approaching when
New York must become the financial and
commercial centre of the world.
