Outlines.

For some not very grave offence a man sent his boy to t>ed supperless, and told him he would whip him on the morrow. But during the night the boy grew to be six feet tall, and stout and strong in proportion. Whereupon, after mature reflection, the man pardoned the boy, and gave him advice instead, showing him how it would have been wiser and of more advantage to him not to have committed the offence. A child played at make-believe. He drew a circle upon the ground, and said, 11 This is a magic circle; everything inside of it is a miracle.” He did not know that everything outside of it is a miracle also. A hoy at school did not know his lesson in the geography of Africa, so Iris teacher kept him in after school to learn it. That night, in going home, the teacher became lost. The hoy found him, and guided him home. A man said, “ Whatever is, is right; let things be.” But his friend said, “ W hatever will be, is also right.; let us make a change for the better. *’ Berkv Benson.
