Jacks Earliest Memory.

If YOU wish to make an entertaining
experiment with the memories Of your
friends, try, sometime when a group
of people are in the mood of playful
"reminiscences to lind out from each one
the very drst thing in life which made
lasting impression upon the memory.
Every one has heard the assertion of
Charles Dickens that lie remembered
being banded hastily, as a baby, from
one woman to another at the time of a
carriage accident aud learning after
ward that this really took place when
he was only months old
Very few of as can remember any
thing SO early in life as this, but it is
odd how far back into our earliest
years the memory gropes its way to
some startling or charming occur
renee
One Summer evening several people
were seated on . yine-covered piazza,
talking of this aud Of that, when the
conversation drifted to this subject of
early memories.
A lady described a walk in a count, Y
road with her mother as tie first thing
she could remember. A tall girl spoka
Of her delight at catching a butterfly
as her first knowledge. A young
collegian declared that his intense
hatred Of an oil-cloth bib, marked
"Baby" in large letters was his intro
duction aud memory.
"As soon as | could talk / struc k for
a napkin under MY chin. said "a.
One after another told their little
stories with the pleasure which always
goes with keen personal experience OF
this sort, until it came the turn OF
active Master Jack.
The first thing | can remember"
he said, bringing his eyelids down and
ping mp his chin ia thoughtful
manner, 'the very first thing / can re-
member. my father was looking for me
with willow whip in his baud, and /
was cuddIed down somewhere keep
ing still and my foot was asleep.
W#ewrt
Jaek jumped up aud stretched his
legs un aua down the piazza Is if to
gam relief from t5at lingering memory.
