The ChiId's Gift OF Imagination.

Into the life of every child" says a
recent essayist, no matter in what class
of life it is found, Imagination enters
with all the freshness and beauty of a
pure spring of water. Their games and
sports take them into some mysterious
dreamland of delight; their play is fully
charged with fancy, and to make be-
lieve' that they seem to be what they are
not comes as a comfort to the imprisoned
children of our crowded cities. They
have no sands on which to build their
castles, and their little feet are seldom
freshened with the salt of the oceans
waves; they can only live in grassy
meadows and lowered woodlands when
they get a passing peep at picture
shop; the din of the city and its wheels
is forever in their ears; but the servitude
of unrOmance to which they are born
does not dull or deaden sweet Natures
gift of imagination which makes mimic
soldiers and sailors of the children whose
playground is the pavement, and whose
toys are but too often the refuse of the
streets"
