A FAIRY TALE.

There is pretty loyc-story told in con-
neetion With the introduction of the man
ufacture of fine lace into Brnsels. A
poor young girl, named Gertrude, was
dying for love of a young man, whose
wealth precluded all hopes of marriage =
One night, as she sat weeping, lady
entered her cot age, AMI without saying
a word placed in her lap cushion with
its bobhns filled The lady then, with
perfect silence, showed her bow to work
the bobbins: and how to make Ill sorts
of delicate patterns and complicated
stitches. AS day ligh, approached, tn
maiden had learned the art. and the
mysterious visitrcss disappeared III;
price OF the maiden's lace soon nItte hes
rich, ON account of is valuable patterns,
aud she WAS able to marry the uhj.ct of
her love NJ my years after, while LYING
IN luxury, with her numerous flmdy
about her, sle was startled by the mys-
terious lady entering her comfortable
house-tlis time not silent, but looking
steru She said
Here you enjoy peace and comfort.
while without are famine aud trouble, |
hclp.d you YOU have not helped your
neighbors The angels weep for you,
and turn away then faces.
Sc, the next day, Gertrude went forth
with her cushion and bohh,u III her hand
and gong from cottage TO cottage. she

But Gen. Pembert on reflected a little.
and as soon as the full force of General

Again, on the road to Richmond
after the battle of Spottsylvania Court
House, Gen. Grant INDUCED in speech
or dispatch in these tolerably clear
words:

LITTLE THINGS"

/ stood upon giddy height,
And gazed for down below,
And through a vision, passing bright
That came across my spirits sight,
Beheld wonderous show.
The water drops, so small they grew
Into mighty sea
While moments, which so swiftly few.
Made hours and weeks, and ran into
vast eternity.
watched little buried seed
Into flower spring;
And worms that crawled upon reed,
They changed to beauteous flies indeed,
With blue and golden wing
spotted egg so small-so fair,
A blackbird brought to light:
And caterpllars crawling there,
Made collins Of their curious hair
Then burst them with delight;
And oh how wonderful to tell,
Out flew butterfly
And through the woods, DER dale and dell,
FOrgetfu Of its prison-ceIl,
II wandered merrily.
But other little things seem
To have within my mind,
witnessed in that pleasant DREAM
Not flowers, nor birds, nor flies mean,
But quite another kind.
For children--oh, so very small,
TO men and women grew
And, as the leaves in autumn fall,
SO faded children, one and all,
And men and women too.
But ,chat is DEATH They rose again.
1t seemed they could not die.
While in book all clear and plain
Was every little sin and stoin,-
And they were judged thereby,
And all the little words they'd said,
And all the things they'd done,
Were brought to light; but oh, strange sight
To darkness or to regions bright
Were destined every one.
All let us then to little things
Give ever greatest heed
That so by love, and faith and care
BY patience, courage, and by prayer,
We may be great indeed!

Anecdote Of Daniel webster.

During one Of the college vacations,
.he and his brother returned to their
fathers, in Salisbury. Thinking he
had right to some return tor the mon
ey he had expended on their education,
the father put seythes into their hands
and ordered them to NOV. Daniel
made few sweeps, and then resting
his scythe, wiped the sweat from his
brow. His father said, whats the
matter, Dani" "My scythe don't hang
right, SIR" he answered. His father
fixed it, and Dan went to work again,
but with no better success. Something
was the matter with his scythe-and
then it was again tinkered-but it was
not long before it wanted fixing again,
and the father said in pet, Well,
hang it to suit yourself" Daniel with
great composure hung it on the next
trees and putting on a grave connten-
ance said, cit hangs very well now; l
am perfectly satisfied"
