PRUDENCE.

PRUDENCE.
Prudence was little girl who
lived a great many years ago,
when this country was all woods
and very few people lived here.
At that time there were women
who were supposed to be witches
and were punished and sometimes
killed.
Somebody told Prudence that one
Of these witches might be seen
sailing through the air on broom
stick at midnight. She wanted to
see, so she sat up one night, and
watched. Her sister Priscilla woke
up and saw her at the window, and
told her she better rome to bed.
She would be sorry If she stayed
up SO late.
And she was very sorry the next
day. 1t was Sunday and she went
to church with the rest Of the fam
lily. The sermon was three hours
long, and before it was half through
Prudence began to be very sleepy.
Perhaps you think she might just
go to sleep and there would be no
great harm done.
But in that church a man sat
up in a high place where he could
see everybody, with a long willow
ly stick in his hand, and with this
stisk he would tap the heads OF
whispering or sleepy children.
Prudence was a very good girl and
she had never been tapped, but
this day her eyes closed and her
head nodded, and soon she was
awakened by sharp rap.
She was so ashamed! Her ath.
err looked very cross and her
mother very sorry, and the worst
of all-her sister Priscilla plucked
her sleeve and whispered, II told
you that you would be sorry"
