stealing Water-MeIons.

A man in a country town took great
pleasure in having neat garden. He
had all kinds Of vegetables and fruits
earlier than his neighbors, but thieving
boys in the neighborhood annoyed him,
damaged his trees, .trampled down his
flowers, and "hooked'' his choicest fruits.
He tried various ways to protect his
grounds; but his watch dogs were poison
ed, and set,traps caught nothing but his
faAest fowls and fayorite cat. ,..
One afternoon however, Just at night
fall, he overheard couple Of mischiev-
Gus boys talking together, when one of
them said :rI blaG bng ..r4..

come the grab game over the melons to-
night! Old Swipes will be snoring like

Ned proposed 10 get over the wall on
the solth sile by the great pear tree, apd
cut directly across to the summer-house,
lust north of which were the melons.
Joe was clever fellow, who loved good
fruits exceedingly, and was as obstinate as
an ass. Get once started TO do thing

Redruth, in England, as worlhypastor,
late in the twilight, was returning from
visitto his flock, he saw before him
strange nondescript, as large rs "a black
ram with eyes flashing fire, and breathing
very hard, running furiously towards his
shins. Providentially he sprang aside.
and before the assuilunt could stop and
turn upon him, he had run such dis:
tance as gave hope of deliverence; when
he came full butt against a man running
in an opposite direction.
