ages The poor boy, without any con
sultation on his part or asking him ! ,
whether it suited him, was brought
from the society of cherubs into n
land filed with collie, gum Doils, stone >
bruises aud Indigestion; without ask
ing him how the change struck .
his fancy, he was hustled out of tie
company of angels and forced to put
up with whatever treatment lot o. .
people on earth felt incliHed to give

too tight and he filed his objections,
his system was flooded with soothing -,
syrup until his digestion was impair
ed by the operation. Taking advan-

him on her knee aud trotted him up
and down until his recent breakfast
was churned into buttermlk and the
were jolted out of place. AS he grew
older he was subject to fresh indigni-
ties. When there was company he
waited for the second table and dined
on such scraps of chicken as had es-

go through that humiliating period
when his feet grew too large for his
II body and his voice was liable to fly
of on tangent at the most critical
a nd embarrassing moments. How
m, Ich better it would have been for
ths hoy if he had been left among
the SngeIs.".
