THAT BOY WILL BE A LAWYER
There is a suburban youngater who is evidently intended by nature for a lawyer, if nature can be said ever to have intended a man to be a lawyer. He has two prayers that he says at nights— sometimes the one and sometimes the other. One is the dear old ' Now I lay me,' and the other a prayer that this boy calls 'the Good Shepherd.' The other night his older sister, who was putting him to bed, improved the occasion by giving him a little lecture on ths omniscience and omnipresence of the Creator. 4 Mamie,' said he, after a while, • does God know just everything that we are going to Ao before we do it ?' 4 Yes, Johnny.' * Does he know that I am going to say, 'Now I lay me." • Yea, Johnny. ' ' Ha ! Well, I afa't going to say it — I'm going to say 'The Good Shepherd." — Boston Record.
