Chronological.

To teach a child one particular thing often proves to be a most Vexatious job. The child is, as a rule, ready to say anything but the particular thing desired. A young couple sought to Impress on their little daughter’s mind the names of the days of the week, a few days ago. To facilitate their work they re peated over and over again the rhyme beginning, “Solomon Grundy was born on Sunday.” The little tot was finally able to repeat it fairly well. The more difficult part of the lesson then came. “Now,” said the father, “what day was yesterday?” “Sunday,” came the quick response. “What day is to-dayj’’ “Monday, I dess,” came the more uncertain reply. “Well, what day is to-morrow?” There was no hesitancy here. “It’s washday,” triumphantly replied the little girl.—Albany Journal.
