A Touching Story.

I remember, though somewhat i'm

with the chu chbells of town in Italy,
which had become famous all over Eu.

sweetness. They were made by yuting
Italian. and were his hearts pride. Dur.
ing the war the palace was sacked, and
the bells carried off, no one knew with.
er, After the tumult was over, the
poor fellow returned to his work, but it
had been the solace Of his life to wander
about at evening and listen to the chime
of his bells, and he grew dispirited and
sick, and pined for them until he could
no longer bear it, and left his home, de-
termined to wander over the world, and
hear them once again before he died.
He went from land to land, stopping in
every village, till the hope that alone
sustained him began TO falter, and he
knew at last that he was dying. He lay
one evening almost insensible, in boat
that was slowly floating down the Rhine
He scarcely ever expected to see the

With the evening breeze, he started
from his leshargy. He was not mistak-

" God Bless You! "

A crippled beggar was striving to pick
up some old clothing that had been
thrown from the window, when a crowd
OF rude boys gathered about him, MINI
licking his awkward movements, and
hootiug at his helplessness and rags
Presently noble little little fellow came
up, and, pushing his way through the
crowd, helped the poor, crippled man to
pick up his gifts, and placed them in
bundle. Then as he was running away,
voice abave him said, 4" Little boy with
straw hat lock up" A lady looking
from an upper window, said earnestly.
" God bless you, my little fellow, God
Will bless you for that" AS he walked
along, he thought how glad he had
made his own heart by doing good. He
thought of the poor beggar's grateful
look of the lady's smile and her ap,
proval; and last, and better than all, he
could almost bear his Heavenly Father
whispering, " Blessed are the rlerciful,
for they shall obtain mercy" Little
reader, when you have an opportunity
of doing good, and feel tempted to neg~
lect it, remember the little 10y with
the straw hat.

Bothering a Witness.

About twenty years ago, when Frank
lin Pierce and the present Senrtor Clark
stood at the head of the Hillsborough
bar, in New Hampshire, there was a
celebrated suit upon the docket called
the Horse Case" The action was
brought by Smith L. Jones, livcry-stable
keepers, against one White, to recover
the value of pair of horses alleged to
have been killed by the defendant while
conveying an insane man to the asylum
at Concord. There was plenty of proof
that tbs. horses died soon after their ar.
rival there, but the defendant took the
ground that they died Of disease and
not from being overheated, and that a
sufficient time had been allowed them
to travel that distance with ease. Then
it became necessary to show the jury
the time Of their arrival. Many citizens
were brought forward, among them a
tall, bony, slab-sided, lanky, sleepy.look-
ing fellow, who officiated as hostler Of
the stable. ] give you the substance OF

THE Bitter BITTEN.-A few year:
ago farmer who was noted for hi:
waggery, stopped at tavern, which he
was in the habit Of stopping at on his
way from B-to Salem. The landlady

the eat was washing herself in the cor
ner. The traveller, thinking it would
be good joke, took off the pot.lid and
while the landlady was absent put grim
akin into the pot with the potatoes,
and then pursued his journey to Sa-
lem.
The amazement Of the landlady may
we'll be conceived when on taking up
her dinner she discovered the in.
palatable addition to 1t. Knowing the
customer, she had no difficulty in fix
ing on the aggressor, and she deterwin-
ed to be revenged. Aware that he
wonld stop on his return FOR cold bite,
the cat was carefully dressed. The wag
called as was expected, and pussy was
put upon the table among other cold
dishes but 50 disguised that he did not
know his ole acquaintance
He made hearty meal and washed
it down with glass OF gin. After pay
ing his bill, he asked if she had a cat
she could give him, for he was plagued
almost to death with mice. She said
she could not for she had lost hers.
