from an aesthetic point of view, even
sleeping beauties" with an inclina-
ton to snore, are not attractive articles
when viewed from the pulpit; and,
secondly, that somnolenc in the con-
gregation is discouraging to the
preacher. In discussion which took
place among the local pastors on the
subject, Rev. T. Evans remarked that
a good many people thought it no harm
to sleep there. Ministers ought to
have had cameras, with which to take
snap shots of dormant members OF
their congregation, and then present
copies to them. If people could see
themselves asleep in the pew, as view
ed from the pulpit, it would give them
many sleepless nights in thinking of
the spectacle. The Mayor of Bourne
mouth, who was present at the debate
pleasantly said that if he were preach
ing and saw man asleep in the con-
gregation he was afraid he should
throw book at him, and if he found
that one was not enough he would
launch another So let the Bourne
mouth and Boscome sleepers beware,
lest their awakening be a rudely lit
erary one bound in half calf.-London

IMAGINATION PLAYS.
They Are the Greatest Amusement of
Little Minds and Bodies.

There was once a mother with sew
| eral children, who, being a poor wo-
man, had all her household work to
do. She often toiled far beyond her
strength, yet she was never too busy
to get up some little scheme for
amusing the children, and as the
years taught her experience, she de-
yised something at the outset of a
busy day She took half an hour to
start the mimic housekeeping in the
playhouse, or she began the building
OF fort and got out the toy soldiers,
or she took stick, if the morning was
in summer, and addressed it thus:
You look like stick, but you are
really little shepherd boy, with long
brown hair hanging down your back.
You are dressed in goatskins, and you
nave a little pipe in your hand, on
which you can play most beautiful
tunes. Over yonder are wild and saw
age mountains, pointing to the wood
pile and the hillocks by the orchard,
but there are no recesses in them so
wild that you do not know them.
There are no caves which you cannot
find, and we shall probably need these
caves very much, when we are chased
by robbers or by hungry wolves. AL
so you know where the kind and good
people live who will give us goat milk
to drink and cakes of brown flour to
eat Perhaps you know the peasants

her mother, the Queen, who weeps for
her in gorgeous palace of pink
glass; With that tho mother would
hand over the stout little stick she
had cut to the child, who, wide eyed
and smiling, stood waiting to receive
1t, and who ran with it toward the
wood pile to begin the ascent
The child, entranced with the story,
and at her own Celebrations of it,
would not return until the hour for
dinner, and then she would come in,
glowing and with an appetite while
the mother, who had been without the
veXatious Interruptions of an uneasy
little girl, was eager to greet her.
