PADDY HAYES AND THE TURTLE.
New York, man was carrying live
turtle along the street, when along came
an Irishman, followed by large dog
The countryman tried by gentle words
to get the son of Emerald to Tut his fin
ger in the turtles mouth, but he was too
smart for that.
But says he, I'll put my dogs tail
in, and see what the beast will do
He Immediately called up his dog
took his tail in his hand and stuck it in
the turtles mouth. He had scarcely got
it in when Mr.. Turtle shut down on the
poor dogs tail, and off the latter started
at railroad speed, pulling the turtle after
him at more rapid rate than ever it
had travelled before. The countryman
thinking his days work would be thrown
away if the animal should run at that
speed, turned with savage look upon
the Irisman and exclaimed:
Call back your dog
Patrick put his hands into his pockets,
threw his head to one side winking, and
then answered with provoking sang

A ResOlute Sweetheart.

In the sixth century, one of the An
glo-Saxon potentates of that age who
died shortly after marrying a young
wife on his death bed required his eldest
son to marry his step-mother, so she
should not lose the dignity of queen
The young man refused because he had
already a sweetheart, but his father
forced him to swear he would do it, un-
der penalty of death The old king
died. and the son married his step-moth-
er. But the sweetheart of the prince,
who was herself princess Of some pow
er, demurred to the arrangement, and
made war upon her lover, assisted BY
her brother, (King of East England. }
The young king thus menaced. marched
against his old sweetheart but was de-
feated in battle, and in fight was cap
tured by his conquers, bound, and
brought before his offended mistress with
view to execution. She covered him
with reproaches for his breach of faith,
but offered to spare his life on condition
that he would Immediately repudiate his
step mother and marry her. 1t is un-
necessary to add that the young king
preferred this arrangement to any of the
numerous modes of execution at that
time prevalent. that the step-mother was
packed off to her father, the French
king, and that the young couple were
duly married, and lived happily ever af.
forwards.

The Appeal Of the Poor.
BY FINLEY JOHNSON.

BY FINLEY JOHNSON.
Turn not away with scornful lips,
From this, our sad appeal,
We only crave that sympathy,
Which all mankind should feel,
And if you deem the iron chain
OF poverty, of woe;
That weighs upon our care worn iraheS'
Has made our minds as low;
Remember that the tender bud,
The blossom that you slight,
Shoots upwards from fertile bed
And struggles for the light.
The world has said that those who toll,
Cannot to greatness rise,
But know you not, the lark, though smaih
Can mount up to the skies;.
And they wEo say that poor mems hearts
Contain hut seeds of i'll,
Have they by kindness ever strovc
To gain the heart and will;
If not, then recollect that gems,
The brightest and most rare;
Are found in mines beneath the earth,
And need an artists care,
And tina. when brought unto the light,
They rough and rugged seem;
Until by skillful, tutored hands
They in their brightness CLEAN.
They who have never felt each care,
That unto want belongs;
Have never felt their crushing weight,
How can they know our wrongs;
We have seen our children want for bread
Yet kept them free from SIM
Have felt the ours, Of poverty
Our humble homes within,
And we have prayed most fcrvently,
Unto our God alone,
To shed abroad in human hearts,
The attributes Of love;
And as our brother man shall gaze
Within our humble door;
That we shall by the misery there,
Show mercy to the poor.

The MEMORY OF A MoTHER.-When
temptation appears, and we are almost per-
suaded to wrong, how often mothers word
Of warning will call to mind VOWS that are
rarely broken.e Yes, the memory of moth
er has saved many poor wretch from 60
ing astsay. Tall grass may be growing over
the ballowed spot where all her earthly re-
pose; the dying leaves Of Autumn may be
whirled over it, or the white mantle Of win-

her, when he walks in the right path, ap-
pears, and gentle, softly, mournfully calls to
him, when wandering off into the ways Of

The wife of Mr., L. Files. of Gorbam
Main, died last week under circumstan.
ces both strange and sad. Mrs. Files
for several weeks past has had special
religious interest, and after several days
apparently experienced a hope. The
next day after her friend rejoiccd in her
conversion, she became perfectualy in
sane, requiring three or four persons to
hold her. After continuing thus for
nearely two days. she sank into a deep
sleep, from which it proved impossible
to arouse her. She continued in this
stupor some days, when she died.
