STORY WITH A MoRAL.-Many years a.
60, merchant, worth near million of
dollars, stood upon wharf watching the
approach Of rich ship, just, arriving in
port, Of which he was the owner. He was
elevated with his good fortune and looked
lofty and arrogant.
r a -poor sesmen suffering under grevous
malades stood near, end having experien-
ced how chapgeful is life, he venlured to
tell the triumphant merchant that "riches
have wings"
"Pooh - said the merchant, "Ihere you
see that diamond ring ! take from my fin
ger? You see me throw it into the river.
As we'll may you expec! to ever see that
ring again, ss to see me poor man -
Some days afterwards, The merchant gave
"a great dinner to his trends. Among the
Iuxuries provided for the feast, was salmon
from the river.
The cook happened to open the stomach
Of the salmon, found there 10 her great sur
prise, the merchants diamond ring She
carried it TO him. His countenance fell, he
remembered his boaslful language.
The dinner was hear,less and tedious 10
him. The rich wine only made his
thoughts The more poignant. He became
an altered man. His speculations were
all unfortunate. Loss succeeded TO loss
and in few years he was poor man.
Wealth is The gift of God, and given for
good purpose. Not to be squandered-
not to make the possessor lord OF heart
but to teach him benevoence to enable him
to benefit his fellow men.

brother fell himself the weaker. They roll
led TO the side Of the road overhanging the
gave. With firm clutch of his antagonist,
the Basque, BY strong kick, brought them
both to the brink. 10 vain Charles tried TO
free himself from the grasp which held him.
They crashed together down the rocks,
breaking through the slight trees which
grew from The clefls, and fell heavily into
the gave which flowed beneath. They
fell heigh. of nearly one hundred and 6f-
ty feet, in place where the stream, chock-
ed up with rocks and stones, was half foot
deep.
jules brother was killed on the spot
Charles, strange to say, still lived. His
fall had been somewha. broken by his enc
my falling underneath. They were dis
covered by fisherman, who was out early
to supply the hotels q. the bath with trout.
He hurried off for assistance, and they were
conveyed 10 the cottage Of jules mother
was Immediately sent for and saw that
there was not the least hope for, the man
gled survivor. He told me-; before he died,
,ha, he had unhsppily lost the address Julie
had given him; but that, in hopes she might
have gone to inquire a, the Poste Res,ante,
where, he doubted not, they still remained.
1t was in her arms, with his head on her
bosom, and his child holding one of his
hands, ,ha, he died.
! shall never forget that girls curses a.
gainst her brother. never shall forget
how she refused 10 be separated from his
body, how she clung to it, how she raved
and swooned, or the terrible brain(ever tha.
supervened. From the time of her recovery
to this hour, her face has retained the blood
less hue tyou must have noticed. She
and her boy are provided for by Charles's
parents, to whom wrote, by his DESIRE
He is buried in the Protestant burying-
ground Pau; and four times year
fresh crown Of bright immor,ellies is found
on the railngs which surround the grave.
