noon one day with their watches in
their hands, betting as to when IL would
drop.

Answering Chlldrc.l,s Questions.

WHY should not children ask ques-
tionsp How shall they ever learn the
worlds queer customs save by question
ing us who, through longer residence
here. have succeeded in finding an
answer TO some of life s less perpleXing
riddlesP Happy the child whose many
queries are received with the considera-
ton they deserve as, in spite OF any
seeming aimlessness, the instructive OUT
reachings of an immortal soul for an
acquaintance with its yet unwonted sur
roundings. Here is a picture in this
line-a picture that is memory as well;
many person from his own experience
could duplicate it: A little boy and an
old man, exempted the one by his youth
and the other by his age from the noisler
services OF life; one eager with the
fcuriosity of childhood, the other wise
with the knowledge of advancing years,
holding many discussion over the
queer things in the world. Together
thew fish in the little trout-brook behind
the house; together they wander through
the summer woods; together they drive
over the sunny New England hills to
store and mill, and the slower the ola
horse goes, the faster the little boy
tongue runs on with the thousand and
one questions that crowd into childs
busv mind. Never is question an
swered impatieutly or ignored. How
ever the busy cares of life may keep
others from attending to his small
speculations, the little boy can always
comfort himself with the thought that
there is one source OF information
never inaccessible. Sometimes IN the
long Sunday afternoons, after church
and Sunday school, these two take q
nap side by side; and when they waken
they read together a chapter from the
Bible--the one stumbling often over
the long words and deep truths,
the other explaining, in words q
} child can understand, what seemed
so deep and strange aud incompre,
hensible. From the memory OF that
little boy, little boy no longer, the
themes and texts Of most of the sermons
he has heard since then have departed
| but much that he learned in those queer
little Bible studies with his grandfather
has never passed from his mind, ant
never will. One chapterin Johns Cos
pei, especially, he ne'er reads but NJ
