and among them was a little sister。 She is only four years old; but

can say her prayers as well as any of the rest。 The mother sits by her

bed every evening; and hears her say her prayers; and then she has a

kiss; and the mother sits by the bed till the little one has gone to

sleep; which generally happens as soon as ever she can close her eyes。

    〃This evening the two elder children were a little boisterous。 One

of them hopped about on one leg in his long white nightgown; and the

other stood on a chair surrounded by the clothes of all the

children; and declared he was acting Grecian statues。 The third and

fourth laid the clean linen carefully in the box; for that is a

thing that has to be done; and the mother sat by the bed of the

youngest; and announced to all the rest that they were to be quiet;

for little sister was going to say her prayers。

    〃I looked in; over the lamp; into the little maiden's bed; where

she lay under the neat white coverlet; her hands folded demurely and

her little face quite grave and serious。 She was praying the Lord's

prayer aloud。 But her mother interrupted her in the middle of her

prayer。 'How is it;' she asked; 'that when you have prayed for daily

bread; you always add something I cannot understand? You must tell

me what that is。' The little one lay silent; and looked at her

mother in embarrassment。 'What is it you say after our daily bread?'

'Dear mother; don't be angry: I only said; and plenty of butter on

it。'〃



                              THE END
