"Qui vive, yourself ?" said the occu-
pants of the first boat, which was filled
with officers, composing Marshal Da-
voust's staff. "Who are you? and
what are you doing here ~
81 am sentinel keeping guard"
ga pretty sentinel! How long have
you been on guard -
"Five years"
"It is time to come down, then, "
shouted the officers laughing.
When Firmin descended from his
hill, Capucin ran to meet him alfway,
barking with joy, and jumping into his
arms.
"Poor Capucin have it all your own
way this time. Do whatever you like
Dirty me; tear my clothes; shan't

me-"
Followed by the faithful dog, Firmin
Joined his former comrades. He gave
plain account of what had happened.
By lucky chance the corporal who
had forgotten him, and who had since
been promoted, belonged to Marshal
Davoust's staff. He received his old
comrade with open arms. Firmin, in
return invited his countrymen to the
farm, where he entertained them with
liberal spitality. The adventure reach,
ed Marshal Davoust's ears. He laughed
at Firmin's stratagem, and presented
him with discharge drawn up in due
form. 81 should not like the brave
fellow" he said, "to appear before a
court-martial, after having kept guard
so long"
Firmin continued farmer He had
large family, who at present fill the
biggest and most important Offices in
the island. They are commonly known
as the Sentinel's Family. When the
French finally left Rugen, Capucin re-
mained. Like his master, he forgot his
military tastes, and devoted himself ex-
clusively to farming.

"ALL-EXCEPT ME-"


The boys all got out on spree t'other night,
When the wine glasses, full of the ''spark-
ling and bright"
Were passed round the circle with freedom
of will,
Just the same as if no one must "bleed" for
the bill.
and the dance,
As the boys always will when they get a
good chance,
They all became tipsy-but each one, you
see,
Says, "The boys all got drunk as fool
ercept me-
The ladies have always been fond of a talk,
And cen down to this day, in parlor or
walk,
They always have something bout husbands
or wives
That is really surprising. sit is, pom their
lives"
Have married men walked with girl,
young or old,
It's told;
But when they get home each announces
They've been all telling tales out of school
except me-
The boys will go sparking-its natural as
life;
So will each crusty bachelor look out for a
wife;
They try here and there, and if knocked off
the track.
Always say. 'sTry again; it was naught but
sack"
! They can't sow on buttons, nor darn up the
"tears,"
So, forsooth, have been thinking of living in
pairs.
But ask them about it, they're shy as flea,
And they say, "The men all have been out
ercept me-"
Just so with the girls; they must each have
beau,
And they think it no harm to have dozens in
tow;
They all have nice ways of SO hunting about
That man can soon tell if an ''in" or an
.'out;"
Each beauty "sets cap" for the best she can
If he's rich: its all right; but if not, "go it
blind;''
Don't ask her if true; her reply's sure to be-,

Forgetting that actions to those not quite

was seized with a palpitation of the
heart, and senseless borne to her room.

her lips in prayer and thus she died I

The joy of youth had left me forever.

A Touching Story.

The following affecting narrative,
which We find in an exchange purports
to have been given by father to his
son, as warning derived from his own
bitter experience of the sin of re listing
a mothers love and counsel. 1t is new
to US, though it may not be to all our
readers /: but its teachings are SO ex-
cellent as to make it worthy of frequent
publication and peiusal:
What agony was visible on my moth
er's face when all that she said and suf-
fered failed to move me! She rose to
60 home, and | followed at a distance.
She spoke 10 more to me till she reach
ed her own door.
1T is school time now, said she.
Go my son, and once more let me be-
seech you to think upon what I have
said

She looked astonished at my bold
ness, but replied firmly
Certainly you will Alfred! 1 com

fred-either go to school this moment,

steps and leaned against the wall. She
did not look at me. | saw her heart
beat against her breast. ooh, Heavenly

dener just then passed the door and
seeing my mother was pale and almost
unable to support herself, she beckoned
him to come in.
Take this boy up stairs and lock him
in his own room,' said she and turned
off from me. 1t was look of agony,
mingled with the iutensest love-it was
the last unutterable pang from heart
that was broken.

COULDN'T GET THE RIGHT FLoP.-
In the year of 1913, during the Miller
excitement in the usually quiet town of
Durham, old "Aunt Sally H." who
would "weigh nigh on to 200 pounds, 3"
got all ready to ego up" and one even
ing in meeting, in the midst of warm
season of exhortation, she arose and
said-"Oh, brethren and sisters, bless
the lord I'll soon get away from this
wicked world I'm going to meet the
Lord in few days. My faith is
powerful strong! Oh, yes, powerful
strong it is ! So strong" continued the
old lady, extending her arms and
motioning then like goose on the
wing, "that it does seem as if could
fly right away and meet the lord in the
air
The minister, who was as great an
enthusiast on "going up as the old
lady, encouraged her by exclaiming,
'try, sister, try Perhaps you can fly,
if your faith is only strong enough. !"
"Well | can," she exclaimed, 81 knoU
| can and | wM !"
She was standing near window
which was raised because of the op-
pressive heat-for it was Summer
With her lankerchief in one hand and
her fan in the other, she mounted the
seat, and thence to the top of the pew
and gave leap into the air with fly
ing motion of her arms, expecting to
assend heavenward But the law of
gravitation was too much for both her
faith and the gravity of the audience.
Down she came with an enormous and
not very angelic grunt, shaking the
whole house, with the conclusion.
She arose, folded her wings, and with
great meekness sneaked back into her
seat and went to weaving back and
forth, evidently disappointed. The
next evening some of the young folks
asked ner:
"Aunt Sally, why didn't you fly last
night when you tried so hard p
81 couldn't get the right flop on,
was the neek and conclusive reply.

No LEGS David Hume tells an
amusing story about the wife of Philip
", which shows that the saturnine
disposition of the second Philip had
fully descended to the FORTH of the
name. His wife, an Austrian, was
travelling in Spain, and reached town
somewhat famous for the manu- 'acture
of gloves and stockings Some of the
manufacturers attempted to present to
Her Majesty gloves and stockings.
The gloves were accepted, but her
majesty's majordomo Indignantly threw
the stockings down, and reprimanded
the magistrates for this egregious piece
of indecency, and startled them with
this Information: "Know,'' said she,
"that the Queen ofSpain has no legs"
The poor Queen, having rather an i'm
perfect knowledge of the language, but
being we'll informed on Spanish cruelty,
understood that those appendages of
hers, which she knew she possessed,
were to be cut off, and she begged
piteously to be taken back to her own
country, declaring that she could never
endure the operation. Hume says, that
on hearing this story, Philip w laugh
cd heartily, and that this was the only
time in his life that he ever did any
thing of the kind.
