QUESTIONS OF THE HOUR.

"How old is God? Has He grey hair?
Can He see yet? Where did He have to stay
Before—you know—He had made—Anywhere?
Whom does He pray to—when He has to pray?

"How many drops are in the sea?
How many stars?———well, then, you ought to know
How many flowers are on an apple-tree
How does the wind look when it doesn't blow?

"Where does the rainbow end? And why
Did—Captain Kidd—bury the gold there? When
Will this world burn? And will the firemen try
To put the fire out with the engines then?

"If you should ever die, may we
Have pumpkins growing in the garden, so
My fairy godmother can come for me,
When there's a prince's ball, and let me go?

"Read Cinderella just once more——
What makes—men's other wives—so mean?" I know
That I was tired, it may be cross, before
I shut the painted book for her to go.
