CHILDISH FANCIES.
My little nephew, four years old, A sweet-faced, blue-eyed boy, Was one day playing by my side With this and that pet toy,
When all at once he said to me,-- As, laying down my book, I paused a while to watch with joy His bright, expressive look,--
"If Mac and I should plant today Some paper in the ground, Say, would it grow to be a book Like yours, with leaves all bound?"
These were the same two little boys Whose nurse searched far and wide For little sister's rubber shoes; "Where can they be?" she cried.
"I know," replied Mac, eagerly, "We planted them last night, To see if they would bigger grow To fit our feet all right."
Dear little boys! These fancies hint Of future questions deep, When evolution's grand idea Shall o'er their vision sweep.
God grant that when these come to them, As at Truth's shrine they bow, A childlike faith and earnestness May fill them then as now.
WHAT LITTLE BERTRAM DID.
Our little Bertram, six years old, Sat on his grandpa's knee, Enjoying to the full the love That grandpa gave so free,
When, looking up bewitchingly, He said,--the little teaze,-- "Will grandpa give me just one cent To buy some candy, please?"
Who could resist such loveliness? This grandpa could not, sure. So with a kiss he gave the cent-- Ah, how such things allure!
