Once upon time, during famine, a rich
man invited twenty Of the poorer children
III the town to bis house, and said to them ;
In this basket there is a loaf of bread
for each Of You take it, and come back
every day at this hour till God sends us
better times
The children pounced upon the basket,
wrangled and fought for the bread, and
each wished to get the largest loaf; and
at last went away, without even thanking
him.
Francesca alone q poor but neatly
dressed little girl, stood modestly apart,
took the smallest loaf which was left in
the basket, gratefully kissed the gen
tlenanly hand, and then went home in a
quiet and becoming manner.
On the following day the children We're
equally i'll behaved, and poor Francesca
lhis time received a loaf which was
scarcely half the size Of the other But
when she came home, and when ler sick
mother cut the loaf there fell ont Of it
quite number Of bright silver pieces.
The mother was alarmed, ami SAID,
"take back the money this instant, for it
has 10 doubt got into the bread through
some mistake.
francesca carried ii back, but the be-
nevolent gentleman declined to receive it.
"No, no." said he, cit was no mistake.
| had the money baked in the smallest
leaf simply as a reward for you, my child.
ALWAYS continue thus contented, peacea-
bic, and unassuming. The person who
prefers to remain contented with the small
lest loaf rather than quarrel for the larger
one, will find blessings in this course of
action still more valuable than the money
which was baked in Your l0at."

Than wealth aud fortune bought with STRIFE

IN the reign Of Queen Annie, a soldier,
belonging to themarahing regiment which
WAS quartered in the city oil Worcester,
was taken up for aescrtion, and, being
tried by a coHrt-maritl, WAS sentenced
to be shot. The Colonel and Lieutenant
Colonel being at the time IN London, the
command Of the regiment descended IN
course 10 the Major, most cruel and in
human man The day On which the de-
serter was to he executed having arriv-
ed, the regiment as il usual On such oc-
casions was drawn out to see the eXecu-
ton.
Ii il the custom on these occasions TO
draw lots from the several corporals for
this diSagreeablc office; ami when every
one expected to see these lots as usual
they were surprised to find that the Maj
Or had given ORDERS that the prisoner
should die BY the hands Of his own broth
er, in the Same company, and who, when
the cruel order arrived, was taking leave
Of Ills unhappy brother, and with tears
fast flowing, that expressed the anguish
ofllis soul, hanging for the last time about
his neck.
On his knees did the poor fellow beg
that he might net have a hand in his
brothers death and the poor prisoner,
forgetting for the moment his petitions
to Heaven, beggetrto die by amy hands
than those of Ills brother. The unrclcnt-
ing officer, however, could by no means
DO prevailed on to revoke his cruel sen
tcnce, though cntreatel to do 50 by every
officer iii the regiment en- the contrary,
he swore that the brother, and he only,
should be the executioner if il were mere
; ~ for examples sake, to make justice APP
pear more terrible. When much time
had been wasted ia fruitless endeayors TO
soften the rigor Of this inhuman sentence,
the prisoner prepared to die, and the
brother to be the eXccntioner.
The Major, strict to the maxims Of
cruelty, Stands close 70 see that the piece
was properly loaded Which being done,
he directs that the third motion of his
cane shall be the signal to fire. Accord
ingly, at the third motion, the Major, in
stead Of the prisoner, received the bnl-
let through his owe head, and fell lileeSs
to the ground.
The man no sooner discharged the
piece, than throwing it On the ground, he
exclaimed:
lie that can give no mercy, no mcr-
cy let him receive. Now, | submit !
had rather die this hour for that mans
death, than live thousand years and
