narrow Escape for the chiia.

was the witness of a street scene
the other day which might have re-
suited very badly for the youngest
person concerned. Two women were
walking with o little girl between
Them, each Of them having her BY thA
hand. All three started TO cross the
street, when a hack came along at a
brisk pace, whereupon one of the
women hurried in front of the horses
while the other held back, but both re-
tanned their hold of the child, and the
consesuence was that for momeat
she was held in the path Of destruction,
her feet scarcely touching the ground,
her little armsoxtended and the pole of
the carriage threatening TO iinpale her.
Fortunately, ni last ONE OF these dan-
gerous guardians let go her hold, and
The small girl was hauled out of dan
ger by the other. 1t would be we'll,
