Nanny and Jack

BY H. C. BUNNER.

St. Nicholas

Her uncle gave little Nanny
A Jack-in-the-box with a squeak;
But the squeak of the Jack was nothing
To Nanny's terrified shriek.

But soon she conquered her terrors,
And spoke like a brave little tot.
"You think you are real," said Nanny;
"But, truly, you know you're not!"

St. Nicholas.

"It is not often," says the Advance, "religious converts are reported in the market; but the Baptist Missionary Magazine estimates that Methodist converts cost $42.08 each. Baptists, $42.50. Congregationalists and Presbyterians come high — averaging respectively $176 and $232."
