Three PRAYERS of a Little Girl.

God bless us every one. A little
girl in bed in the other room is praying
to go to sleep but fighting to stay
awake. 80 Lord, said she, make me
good and let me go in the omnibus to
see Aunt Margaret and all the aunts
and nieces and mothers. Don't let it
hail or snow or rain, for want to 60
in the omnibus to see Aunt Margaret
very much indeed, and all the aunts
and nieces and mothers. Make me well
so that I can go in the omnibus, please
do. Bless grandpa and grandma, Aunt
Kate and Aunt Sophia and Mr.. Charles
Swan. Bless papa and mamma, and
make us all good SO that We can go to
heaven at last, for Jesus sake. Amen.
There was short pause and then the
wide awake, defiant voice went Oh:
Keep grandma from dying before
she gets here. DON'T let anything hap
pen to her. Don't let any bears or wild
beasts eat her up. Bless grandpa and
grandma and Mr.. Charles Swan and
Aunt Kate and Aunt Sophia"
Another pause, a little longer than
the first, and the unconQu2red one be
gan again;
Il long for apples. long for milk.
I long for pie. l long to be good. I
wish had not that cold long &c
some brown bread. long for some mo-
lasses. long for some white bread. I
long to be a woman thank thee that
it did not rain or snow. Give me a
clean spirit. Let me be good when papa
is here, for it grieves him to have me
naughty, and he buys me things-play-
things. I have prayed that l should go
to sleep. That makes three prayers. "
A yawn, long drawn breath, and
then silence presently announced that
the last prayer was answered, and sleep
reigned. Dan McCauley in Washing
ton Post.

efforts to woman's emancipation, but
advancing years warn her that enthusi-

her sex at the drop of a hat-and ready
to drop the hat herself. To that end
she visited an orphan asylum to select
in infancy the forthcoming champion.
Her search was sue eessful beyond her
most sanguine expectations. She found
not only one embryonic woman's right
defender that suited, but two-twins,

For, she argued with herself, would it

The foster mother of the twins is rich

taught by precept and example that the
woman who lis solely an emancipation is

custom of the period and becomes a
wife and mother. These things and
other details too numerous to mention

fix firmly in the brains of her young
