Oriental and Occidental.

A little Western prodigy of a religious turn of mind, aged three years, has given forth the following moral lecture in the shape of a story: “the two colts. “Once there were two colts. One of them belonged to a man who had a God, and the other one belonged to a man who didn’t have any God. One of them looked over the fence and didn’t have anything to eat. His man didn’t have any God. The other colt ate lots and lots of grass in his pasture, and he grew and grew and grew till he got a tail and bua'gy to him. His man had a God.” But it is a Boston small boy who remarke'd the other morning, after his mother had had a laborious siege with his buttons: “I wish God would sew some buttons on my skin, so I could button my clothes right on and not have ’em ,come off!” —Boston Eecord.
