Metamorphosis.

“Well, mamma, isn’t it funny how people turn into other things?” “But people don’t turn into other things, my dear; those are only stories, you know,, in ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ ” “Yes; but, mamma, they do turn into ether things. Little girls turn into mammas, and mammas turn into grandmas.” “That is true.”’ “And boys turn into papas, and papas turn into grandpas.” “Sothey do.” So it seems that there is snch a thing as metamorphosis in this world, after all, if one only looks at it from the right point of view! Evidently we do not get half the picturesque things out of existence that we might if we took the childlike view of things. —Boston Transcript.
