We were considerably amused the other evening, at three little girls playing -among the sage brush in a back yard. Two of them were ' making believe keep house' a few yards distant from each other — neighbors as it were. One of them says to the third little girl : ' There now, Nelly, you go to Sarah's house, and stop a little while and talk, and then you come back and tell me what she says about me, and then Til talk about her ; then you go and tell her all I say, and then we'll get mad and don't speak to each other, just as our mothers do, you know. 0, that'll be such fun.'— Montgomery Mail. * They don't know how to dress sheep now-a-days, r . said an old gentleman that was favored with more*money than education.
