now changed his plan and took hold OF
the torch as well az tn sword. The

BUGABOoS y BURGLARS "A lady
IN this city overheard her nurse Girl
talking to the little child she was put
ting To sleep. and among other legends
of the nursery III which she INDUCED
was this:
If YOU don't 20 right to sleep this
very minute Il great biz. awful black
bear, with ewes like Goals of fire, aud
sharp. white. cruel teeth, will come out
from under the bed and e-a-t-y-o-u-a-l-l-
u-p!"
The poor little thing nested down un-
der the clothes, and after a long season
OF terror fell asleep, to dream frightful
dreams of bears eating her.
That night when the stolid nurse had
composed herself in her w comfort
abe bed and had put the light out, there
came a sudden rap at the door aud the
voice of the mistress called loudly
Maggie! Maggie! for mercy's sake
yet up as quick as % can. There's a
fearful burglar under the bed. and as
soon as you get asleep he's coming out
to rob aid murder YOU
At the word burglar the girl sprang
from the bed in a scream, tore open the
door and fell in Mysteries into the hall.
The lesson was ever more instructive
than the mistress had designed, but
when the girl 5 fears were Gained she
said to her:
You did not hesitate to tell my deli
cate child. who could not possibly know
that it was a lie, a cruel story of a bear
under her bed and now when l treat
you to the same kind of a slumber-story
you are nearly frightened to death. To-
morrow you can go into the kitchen and
work: YOU are not tit to care for little
children"
How many children are there who
every night of their lives are frightened
to sleep.
