The
Boy and

ARR DL IRIAN LIEN BORER nse
A writer in Appleton's Magazine
gives an experience which a boy had
after wounding a grouse. We give the
article in part:
“The bird at which the boy had
fired thrust down its legs and wad-
bled as if adout to fall; then recoy-

The following Sdnday morning the

says:
“The youth's soul was undergoing
development in that half hour. He
was making one of, those short cuts

He was passing (little as he realized

to a plane of broader sympathies,
