ODD SAYINGS BY CHILDREN.

Quaint and Pithv Remarks Made by
Member of a Sunday school.
The first time q certain New York Sunday
school class of nine boys, ranging in age
from five to nine years, was told the story
of the flood their interest was great. Noah
and his family, the ark, it's object and many
of the animals saved were graphically de-
soribed, says the Tribune. Johnnie, seven
wears old, showed the most interest, and
after the ark had been pictured a 8 loaded.
asked:
How long was they in there them and
Forty days and forty nights" was the
answer, whereunon the y%oungster gave a
short whistle and remarked:
"My! but that must have been a 'nuf
sight better IAN a eli cus!"
Willie, a sturdy young lrishman of five
years, showed that some of his ancestors
must have come from another county, for
after all the class had given up the ques-
ton: "What is an altar" he answered, Il
haint quite sure, but l think its the thing
you tie around a horses neck"
Another young man of eight, who never
lacked for an answer, being asked, "Wha I
ID a f~orerunner?" in the sense that John
the Baptist was q foterunner, said: II
don't know. but ! should think a dog would
be a %forerunner; its got that many legs"
Inc same hoy peinB Asheu' WA"' was
John the Baptist's clothing?' gave early
evidence of understanding the fashions
when he responded, "A cloth sack and
Gshes.'
Another youth, without meaning to bs
sa%oriligious, but with visions of his misdo-
ings that had received deserved punish
ment, to the question. "Why was our Saw
Tor sent to this earth?" (answer. 40 save
sinners'') answered, "Oh! l suppose we
acted 80 bad they had to send him."
How we'll the nine-year-old boy voiced
the sentiments of many older malcontents
when, during a discussion OF the creation,
he said: ~ don't see what the Lord made
rats for, anyway. they amt no good for
nothing" Being told the uses of their
skins. he ~ruefully rematked: Maybe that's
SO. but if I'd been Amazing I'd left out
rats and had lots of things different"
