And many a bill for damage done
His father had to pay.
Take warning, youthful drivers, all!
From Jehu’s first essay.
WHY AN APPLE FALLS.
“Papa,” said Lucy, “I have been reading to-day, that Sir Isaac Newton was led to make some of his great discoveries by seeing an apple fall from a tree. What was there extraordinary in that?”
Papa. There was nothing extraordinary; but it happened to catch his attention, and set him to thinking.
Lucy. And what did he think about?
Pa. He thought by what means the apple was brought to the ground.
Lu. Why, I could have told him that—because the stalk gave way, and there was nothing to support it.
