Moral SUAsIoN on RAM-When O friend

lived on farm in Berkshire county, the owner
of which was troubled by dog Wolf. The cur

conscIentiously opposed to capital punishment
and he could devise no means to prevent it
"I l can break him Of it," said Agricola, "if
you will give me leave" Thou art permit

Agricoa tell the story in his own words
There was ram on the farm as notorious
for butting as Wolf was for sheep stealing, and
who stood in as much need of moral suaslon as
the dog. shut Volt up in the barn with this
old fellow, and the consequence was that the
dog never looked a sheep in the face again
The ram broke every bone in his body, literally.
Wonderfully upfted was the ram aforesaid, by
his exploit his insoence became intolerabe ;
he was sure to pitch into wbomsoever went

ny read aloud the loss of that ring, it spoke to
a suspicion that was lying in the depth of my
heart, and reused it into life. Ny little Jeanie,
l was very sad then.
You do not know how deeply loved Err
nest Carr. You do not know how l might
have loved your brother George-yes, the no
BILE, upright George. He loved me, and trea-
ted me most tenderly he found this home for
me | did not Danish him from it-he would
have stayed all these years in Calcutta, if had
not been for me-so he said. You cannot un-
derstand how it was that Ernest Carr, whom
| had known before, should have impressed me
more You do not know yet, that we caunot
command our loye-that it does not follow
where our admiration leads. l loved Ernest
for his very faults The faScinatons that made
the world its prizes, its money, its fame, so at
tractive to him, won me as | saw them in him.
1t is terrible to think Of my last meeting with
him but his fate seems to me not SO awful as
the fate towards which he was hurrying g-the
life which could never have satisfied him."
She left off speaking and dreamed on, her
eyes and thoughts far away. And I, too,
dreamed. fancied my brother George COM

ring somehow. knew it must come back to
her. And it did and he came with it.

THE BUCKEr-It is much easier TO to get
into quarrel than TO get ont of it. In the
year 1908, some soldier of the Commonwealth
Of Modena ran away with bucket from well
belonging to the State of Bologna This i'm.
plement might be worth a shilling, but it pro-
duced quarrel which was worked up into a
long and Sanguinary war. Henry. the King
of Sardinia, assisted the Modenese to keep pos.
session Of the bucket, and in one Of the battles
he was made prisoner. His father, the Empe-
ror, offered a chain Of gold that would encrcle
Bologna, which is ten miles in compass, for
his sons ransom, but in vain. After twenty
two years of Imprisonment he pned away. His
monument is now extant In the Church of the
Dominicans This fatal bucket is still exhibited
in the tower Of the cathedral of Modena, en-
closed in an iron cage.
