They shall mot Blush for their Father.

Two men had entered into an agreement to rob
one of their neghbors Every thing was planned.
They were to enter his house at midnight, break
open his chest and drawers and carry off all the
gold and silver they could find.
HE is rich and We are poor" said they to each
other, By way of encouragement in the evil they
were about to perform. "He will never miss a
little gold while its possession will make US hapyy.
Besides, what right has one man to all of this
worlds goods"
Thus they talked together One of these men
had wife and children, but the other had none
in the world to care for but himself The man
man who had children, went home and joined Ills
family, after agreeing upon place of meeting
with the other at the darkest hour Of the coming
night.
'Dear Father" said one of the children, climb
ing upon his knee. "I'm so glad you have come
home"
The presence of the child troubled the man. and
he tried to push him away but his arms clung
tighter about his neck. and he laid his face against
his cheek, and said in sweet and gentle voice
"I love you father"
Involuntarily the man drew the innocent and
loving one to his bosom and kissed him.
There were two older children in the mans
dwelling, boy and grill They were poor and
these children worked daily, to keep up the
supply of bread made deficient more through idle
ness N the father than lack OF employment. these
children came in soon after their fathers returns
and brought him their earnings for the day.
"Oh father!" said the boy. "such a dreadful
thing has happened Henry Lees father was ar
rested to-day for robbing. They took him out Of
our shop,when saw Henry weeping. And he hung
his head for shame-1for shame of his own fatheri
Only think of that" s..
The man did not reply to the words of his son.
but turned bis face partly away to conceal its ex
preston.
ASHAMED Of his fatherI" thought he. "And
will my children hang their heads also, in shamee
Mono That shall never bel"
At the hour of midnight the man who had no
children to throw around him asphere of better in
tenton, waiting at the place of rendezvous for
him whose children saved him. But he waited
long, in vain. Then he said
81 will do the deed myself and take the entire
Reward"
And he did according 10 his word. When the
other went forth his labor on the next day;
he learned that his acromplice had been taken in
the act of robbery, and was already m prison:
Thank Heaven for virtuous childrenPf said ae
with fervor. "They have saved me. Never wfit
do an act that viii cause them TO blush for their
father" fSab. Rec,

Religious Custom,

There has been custom prevalent throughout
Peru and Chill which to strangers is quite imposing.
1t is this-at nine O'Clock in the evening the great
bell of the cathedral is tolled for one minute dur
ing this time all business is suspended, every
one takes off his hat, is expected to kneel, cross
himself, say his his prayers, and the more devout
to kiss the pavement. In the streets shops pri-
vate dwellings, and hotels, all business, all mo-
ton, all conversation, is suspended, until the great
bell ceases to toll; the bugles at the palace gates
and the convent bells sound merrily, and busi-
ness and conversation are resumed at the point
where they were dropped.
