We went into what he called a roast

Large Stories.

generally understood that they sre rather

ever, who have acquired such a facility in
manufacturing them, they thst deem it
derogatory If they allow themseys TO be
surpassed in telling them.
Ofthis class were Jem B. and Joe P,
two old crones, who for while flourished
in the neighboring village.
They were seated in a village store one
evening when Jem, designed to call The
attention of The company, commenced as
follows.

fell upon the hearth. Two fell into the
pot that was boiling over the fire, ond had
them for breakfast next morning. We
didn't have to buy butchers meat for a
week afterward."

FLOWERS,

A great many pretty things have been
said of pretty women and pretty flowers
but the real uses of both are often over
looked. Flowers and woman seem 10 US
the sunshine of The world, and one Of the
strongest arguments to prove that God is
good and wise is the fact that he neither
forgo. the one or the other in the multi
form rk Of creation. How the flowers
spancle over and beauty the hard, rough
earth Their meek and quiet beauty
steals inte all hearts, young and old
They are welcome everywhere. Go in
to the country and bring home roses and
peoples, as luck will let you, and the
children in the street will follow you-
the nicely dressed child, and the ragged
and dirty faced little one, whose mother
has to " ash for others, and therefore can,
wash him--all will throng your pathway
saying in words, or longing looks, please
give me flower?
flowers never disappoint MS. as the wo-
men (heaven bless them) do sometimes,
but they would not if we did not expe t
100 much of them OF The flowers we
ask only beauty and fragrance. We do
not look to them for a future. Enough
that they fill the present with an odorous
blessing.
We have always thrill when we see
flowers in a window, and we like 10 see d
man who wears a pink or rose in his
builon.hole. There is pleasant associa-
,ion with the flower, if not with him, for
we are certain fair hands placed it there.
Then when we see plants in the window
of house, be i, ever so humble, we are
sure there is no scolding there, and if
from sad experience we find thai the far
cul,iyators of the roses do scold, we COM
for, ourselves how much worse they
would scold without the flowers.
A pot of roses, a ink, gcranium, a
helio,rope, how they b ighten the home
Of poverty! How we forget the cheap,
ugly chest of dra xers, and the TIN eadbare,
pover'y-struck carpet, when we see these
unfolding their beauty and sweetness in
the windows. A well.mended frock, and
clean pinatore are sure to keep them
company on child, who, though poor,
may be as pretty as any poetry.
We bespeak flowers. We want ou,
pathway literally strewed with them. Ir
another and better world, they may be {
luxury.

The Wrecker-A Cornish Legend.

Towards the close OF the sixteenth
century. horria custom prevailed on the
coast of Cornwall, of Turing vessels u

listening lantern to horses head, and
leading it about the cliffs, in order that
the bewildered mariner, mistaking II for
the light of vessel, might be inducel to
shape his course towards It. This afro
.cious experiment was often successful
The devoted crew dreamed not of their
danger until warned of it, too late, by the
foaming breakers that burst upon them
from the shore; and the vessel speedily
became the prey Of sci of ruthless bars
barians. who, to secure themselves I'M
punitv in their plumber, often murdered
those who escaped drowning, and then
Gale their booty "Godsend."
In small hove. on the craggy shore
of deep and dangerous bay on The coast
of Cornwall, dwelt one of those wreches,
an old, hardened desperate, who united

Princes fit for something ess.
Crumpled shirts and dirty jacket
May beclothe the golden ore
OF the deepest thoughts and feelings
Satin vest could do no more.
There are springs of crystal nectar
Ever swe ling out of stone,
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and over grown,

Loves and prospers you and me,
While he values thrones, the highest,
But as pebbles in the sea.

Oft forgets his fellow then;

Men by labor, men by feeling,

Claiming equal rights to sunshine
In mans ennoblcd name.

There are little wood-clad rlls;
There are little inch-high saplinga,

Fed and fattened on the same,
Dy the sweat of others foreheads,
Living only to rejoice.
While the poor mans outraged freedom

But truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light,
And sunsets wrongs shall never prosper,
While there is a sunny right;
And God, whose world-hcard voice is ringin
Boundless love to you and me,
Will sink oppression with its titles,
