June, 1879. THE WEST SHORE. A LITTL8 SINN HI!. Mttle Ooldlooka ut on a orickot at har mamma's foot, hearing papa read the Bible. He read all about the Hood, and the ark, and Noah, and the animals. When papa shut up the t U, Ooldlooka sat with her chubby hands folded thinking very hard. "The rain fell and fell," she aaid to heraelf, "and then the ark went into the deep water, and Noah and his folks and all the oattle and sheepe went, too. If Jimmy will be Noah, 1 will be Noah's wife, and we oan have the Ut h- tub for the ark, and the shower-bath will make rain nough, I guess. Ooldlooka didn't aay one word out loud, but she eat there on her orioket, thinking and think ing. At last after everybody had left the room she went to look np Jimmy. He waa only four years old, and (ioldlooki waa aix. You am, she waa two years older than her little brother, and ought not to have led him into misohief. "Want to make a Hood, Jimmy?" asked UoHMtm "What kind of a fnd?" "Why, like Noah's! We'll play that all the folks in the houae are naughty, ami we are good ; and I 'apoae we might have the canary for a dove, aud the geranium for an olive-tree to light on. Come up here to the bath-room, and 1'U show you." So off trotted that littlo miachief of a (sold I L- ... L .,l. mm tmmt mm k .I.....

Hut aha aoon saw that shn wasn't in the right place. "The wicked folks ought to be in here," she said, " oauao the good onea didn t got wet. We'll have the clothes basket lor tbe ark." Ho Jimmy 0 limbed into tho basket, and (iold locks turned on the sliower-nain. "Whore am the bad onos?" asked Jimmy "We'll have the gray oat for one," said Onld lucks, "'cause she scratchod me t'other day." "She acratchad me two, free, aix times,' aaid Jimmy. Then Ooldlooka oaught tbe gray oat and took her oldest dollies, and pat them in the Hood. Jimmy sat in the ark, and laughed and clapped In hands. Kitty didn't like being a sinner in the Hood, and ahe strugglod hanl to get out but the little girl held her down stoutly. "Jumn oat of tha ark. Jimmy," she said "and open the bird-cage door; we must have a dove. 1 00 can climb on ino sewing marmot. Munmi let Dick out uuite often." Jimmy obeyed, and then ran hack to Ma refuge But just aa he waa safely seated in his ark then waa a splash and a ory, and nothing waa left of Miss Ooldlooka but her feet sticking up in the air.
