A NATURAL INQUIRY by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: MAMMA,' SAID CATHARINE SADLY
Last Line: "AND HOW CAN THEY BOTH BE SO?"
"Mamma," said Catharine sadly,
"Which way do you want me to go?
For to-day you called me a backward child,
And to-day you called me a forward child,
And how can they both be so?"
