D.-Beautiful morning, son.
P.-Yes, sir. There is not a fleet
ing cloud TO hinder the cheering
rays of the Sun, and the sweet
breath of the zephyr is refreshing.
D.-Aheml Well, does . tree
spring from an acorn TO q sturdy
oak in one day ?
P.-No, sir.
D.-Why?

P.-Children-I am a child-are
appointed to an objective life, and /
am panied to say that my teacher
occasionally has child whose mind
is developed before the natural time.

the objective, the tendency to reflect
hinders the power to acquire, and
the power and charm of childhood is
hindered.
D.-Your teacher, suppose is
opposed TO overtaxing the mind,
that is, cramming it, eh?
P.-Yes, sir, and, in addition, to
cramming the stomach with candy
and cakes similar to the kind you
take orders for.
D.-Good- Get along Bobtail

by dinner time.

Merchants are paying from 19 Il
% cents a dozen for eggs, and their
prices for necessary articles ar,
correspondingly high. There is ,
