Childish Feelings.
It 13 a proas lo^s of positive pleapure for children to outgrow too soon their childiah focliii^s. K-'ep them at their simple playthings as long as *ou can. Their enjoyment of those has a uluh which nothing else can supply to those yeard. It is like the keennej* ot their appetites for a winter apple, skin ami all. Never laugh at them for amusing themselves an hour and a half a day with a piece of string or a paper doll, bat laugh with thorn. If your boy jumps ioto a enow drift up to hi<3 chin, the glow on hia cheek is only a faint Hush to that of his rollicking spirit; and the blood tingling to his finger tips will keep the chill out of his bones and soul alike.
