A New VERSION OF IT.-One day, in a fit
of abstraction, the juvenile George cut down
Bushrod's favorite cherry tree with a hatchet.
His purpose was to cut-and run. But the
old gentleman came sailing round the corner
ofthe barn just as the future father of his
country started on the retreat. Look here.

"who cut that tree down?" George reflected
a moment. There wasn't another boy or
another hatchet within fifteen miles. Besides

AN INCIDENT OF BEYRoor. One of the
most pathetic instances OF pure Orientalism
that ever came to my knowledge is related as
a positive fact. While the children OF the
Abelh school were playing together one day
at recess, two small girls tell into pleasant dis
pnte as to the size OF a certain object-play-
thing, perhaps. One said "Oh, it was so uery
littlep and the other asked, ''How little ?'
Then the missionary looked out of the win
dow, and heard her answer, why, little
wee thing" Then the other pressed her still
further, "Well, hoto little ?'' to which the girl
replied, unconscious of the poetry or the pa-
thos OF her comparison, "As little as was the
joy of my father on the day was boru p'-
