The story of Cinderella is familiar to every
one and yet there are few that treasure it up
as in any respect true. But it has a founda-
tion and reality that really need no fairy god
mother, with her pumpkin and her rats to
make an entertaining tale. 1t is as follows:
In about the year 1880 a French actor by the
name OF Thevenard lived in Paris. He was
rich and talented, but he had no wife, ana we we
may believe he had never loved any one, pu.
gave all his affection to those ideai M
that he could represent so finely on .he stage'
One day as he was walking ielsureiy aiohS tne
streets OF Paris he came upon d co1Dier
stand, and his eye was attracteu ny auaihty
little shoe which lay there Waitlng fepalrs.- rs
His Imagination began immeoiateiy 10 form
the little foot that must fit such neat little
shoe. He examined it well, but only to ad-
mire il more and more.
On going to his own house he seemed haunt
ed NV The little shoe. He fancied it tripping
over his floors, he could hear the music of its
tread-in fact there was nothing among all
his rich and elegant treasures that seemed to
him half 50 beau5ifu ss ~
He dreamed of the shoe, and wakened to re-
solve to find its owner. There was a magnet
ic thread of life coiled up in that little bit of
leather that was strong enough to hold him
fast.
he went to the stall of the cobbler ag ,in, but
could learn nothing in regard to the owner OF
the shoe. This only increased his eagerness,
and made him more determined to know to
whom it belonged. Day by day he was disap-
pointed, but he was not discouraged. He
waited, and sought; all the time he was ram
ing more and more an imaginary life that grew
out of the thoughts that circled about the cob
bler's bench. 'ttt 13JBfA 10 .
AT last the little foot needed the little shoe
and Thevenard met the owner, poor girl
whose parents belonged to the humblest class
But the ardent actor thought not OF caste or
family. His heart had already pronounced the
little one his wife, and he was brave and good
enough to heed what his heart said.
He married the girl with no question of what
people would say, and felt joy enough in hear
ing the tread Of the light, nimble feet through
his silent rooms, to pay him for the sacifice OF
peoples approval. e-.a s p n4--
This is the true story of Cinderella and from
which the child-romance sprung. rfr1f .

It's oaly a little glove, ff ii T-tt-ttS
So ragged and old, and worn
You scarce would st0op in your daily path
To look at the thing forlOrn;
You never would think by those fingers small
A heart could be rent and torn. ~.
It's only tiny thing, .fr
This treasure hoard and keep;
But many vision of joy it brings,
And sometimes it makes me weep.
And dream dream of a far-hared boy
Under the flowers asleep. .-t a- .
It's only a little glove, ..-
Yet dearer it is to me, sh.
For the restless feet that pattered anu oo"o
Their music upon my knee ;,,
Dearer for sorrow and care, ana pam,
Than the riches of land OF sea.
It's only tiny thing,
But i love it with deepest love- ... E

My soul to the world above;
And T know / am nearer to Heaven each time

A SOAP Story.

The Rockford Gazette tells the following Of
a Chicago soap drummer: gr -rr -
One OF these gentlemen, the other day, walk
ed into the store of our friend S. w. Stone
and after opening up his kit informed Mr.
Stone that he was soliciting orders for Chica-
go Soap Manufacturing Company, and wished
to get his order for twenty-five or fifty boxes
of his 'Erasive, detersive soap, and no family
could do without it,; it washed several men
ashore when lost on Lake Michigan" and so
on. Mr.. S. was quite busy at the time, and
had been extremely annoyed by several drum
mers during the day, and remarked that of all
travelling men, he most disliked to see a soap
man for they could never be induced to "dry
up" most likely on account of the lye (ie)
used in manufacturing their goods. The soap
man replied, yes! that is what Freeport
merchant told me yesterday. After showing
my samples commenced talking, when the
merchant with hair erect, his ewes starting
from their sockets, bawled out at the top Of
his piping voice to one of his clerks-"Joe
bring the club! here's another soap manm y
1t is needless to say, Stone came down and
ordered some OF his soap. e .-- q -y.r
