Gone where tilings kcratnlc ain’t [Puck. 
A dear old lady presented her sou, on his de¬ 
parture for sea, with a Bible. On opening it 
during a gale, it fell from his hands, and out- 
dropped a flue-tooth comb and the admonitary 
book-mark, “ Search daily.” 
The Boston small girl mixes her theology 
strangely. When her Sunday-Bchool teacher 
asked her “ Who made yon ?" she answered, 
“ God made me that length," putting her hands 
about twelve inches apart, “ and I growed the 
rest myBelf."
