The DeIIsht. of the Unespected.

Even the dangers of literature are les
sened for the very young by their free
ton. A little girl Of four who had been
taken to church reproduced the whole
scene with much ingenuity, taking for
q text, as she stood in her high-chair.
Lead me In the paths of righteousness
IN the presence OF mine enemies and
then descending and donning her fathers
old college cap. she sang with vim and
endless reiterations LET your light so
shine little brother. let your light SO
shine that God will not put you in a

the childish intelligence often results
oddly. and one little girl of strong theo-
logical predictions We heard instruct
ing younger child thus: Now, Ill tell
you exactly how ! am made First there
u little round me that is busy and does
things: over that l wear a skeleton or
bones and then all the sinful lusts of the
ncsn. Upon the superfciality of sin she
might have been interpreted as having
definite convictions. but when II came tO
the nature OF Deity. patriotism obstructed
her vision. for she wavered and finally
confessed, Il don't know much about
Gou; anyway only one thing for sure.
On being told OF friends death. a
little girl OF sly stood wondering. round
eyed and rosy. at the foot of her bed.
and swiftly propounded these questions;
Did her body get to heaven?
WIN her soul take up her skeleton7
Does soul have any kind of feet?
When she gets there will God put an
angel head upon her?
Win she wear a shirtwaist and skirt?
