Three of Them.

A little Brooklyn girl astonished her mother the other day by her proficiency in philological pursuits. “Mamma,” said she, “there are three, kinds of ‘by’s,’ aren’t there?” “What do you mean, my dear?” responded the mother in surprise. “Well,” sweetly lisped the little one, “there’s one ‘by’ when you go by some one on the sidewalk, and there’s another when y u go to the buy something, and then there’s byWsh!” The mother was not long in reaching the conclusion that her daughter needed a little careful instruction in the minor morals.—New York Tribune.
