A LITTLE NONSENSE.

Clever Remarks by Little Men and Women. Mamma—Dorothy, do you know; who ate the raisins I left on the table? Dorothy (aged five) —Well, mamma, I knovv one thing—the cat didn’t eat ’em. Mamma (to small hopeful)—Tommy, you should not ask the lady, how old she is. It is not polite. Tommy—l wasn’t trying to bo polite, mamma. I just wanted to know. Clara, aged four, suddenly burst out crying at the dinner table. “Why, Clara, what is the matter?” asked her mother. “Oh,” sobbed the little miss, “my t-teeth stepped on my t-tongue 1” “Grandpa,” queried little Nellie, “do the good die young ?” “So we are told, my dear,” replied the old gentleman. “My,” exclaimed the small observer, “you must be a wrul wicked I” Small Johnny—Auntie, what is that thing crawling on the floor? Auntie —That is a cricket, dear. Small Johnny—l’m going to kill it. Auntie—No, no, darling. God made it. Small Johnny —Oh, well, he cani make another one.—Chicago News. Some Satisfaction. *
