readers: It is taken from the fly leaf ac-

vious, the Deacon and his son -in-law be-

requested Heber to write something for
them to sing in the morning. and he

Dram and a few friends were sitting, to q
distant part of the room. In a short
time the Dean inquired, What have you
written Heber, having then composed
the first three verses, read them over:
There, there, that will do very well,' said
the Dean, "No, no, the sense is incom.

A Coon SToRY.-A we'll known news
paper correspondent in an adjoining town
furnishes US with the following good sto-
rv. It is genuine one, and will be rec
ognized by many who are familiar with
the facts. There was a certain man.
whom we shall call Smith, because that
was not his name, and he courted girl,
or ather wanted to, whose name we will
Ca | Brown Now Smith was not 80 smart
in matters matrimonial as he might have
been, and a man named Jones sailed in"
and ''cut him out" Jones married the
girl and in due time Mrs. j. presented
her husband with nice little daughter.
About fifteen years afterwards Smith vas
strolling around in the neighborhood
where his former sweetheart used to live.
Meeting Jones daughter returning from
school, Smith thought he could detect III
her couutenanee the we'll known and fond
ly remembered features Of her mother.
Wishing to engage in conversation, he
confronted the damsel, when the following
dialogue took place:

GENIUS ILLUsTRATED-Horace Yer
net was one day breakfastirg at the Cots
de Fov in the Palais Royal, when, draw
ing bottle of cham payne, the cork flew
up to the ceiling, leaving behind 1t an
unsightly blemish in tie newly decorate1
surface. vernet looked at the damage,
and ugly enough it was, in the midst OF
the pure white and gold ornament; then
he looked at the face of mine host, and
beheld in it a mixture of CONSERVATION
and suppressed anger. ".Ity good sir,
said Vernet, ''maks yourself easy; to NOR
row | will touch that offending spot with
a wand which will make it the source OF
golden showers" The landlord opened
his ears he was too polite to object to an
arrangement which sounded SO promising,
though he did not exactly und arstand 1t.
The morrow came, and with it at an early
hour came Horace Vernet, with lis pal
let and paint brushes. He asked for
ladder, and in less than half an hour the
center of the injured compartment was
embellished with swallow on the wing,
destined to form the attraction and ad-
miration of coming generations OF custom
ers. Contrary to the assertion of the pro.
verb, that one swallow of Horace Fernet
not only made summer, but it crested
pc, petua summer in the financial atmos"
phere of the Cafe de Fay. The story
got wind, and every one y nted to see
Horace Vernet's hirondelle; and in order
to see it, and to say that they had seen
it, it was necessary TO expend a certain
sum in eatables. Never was a Gagged
bird SO petted and cared for, and in all
subsequent decorations OF the premises,
the world-famed swallow was respected
and preserved. Even now that the house
has changed its distinction-being no
longer cofe--the swallow of Horace
Vernet still scars above the heads OF adj
miring connoisseurs, who come to visit 1t
with increased enthusiasm, now that Its
gifted author has passed away.

Then l wrote to Peabody from Bunhill
Row (where my place of business is stu
ated), to tell him that l would not make a
fool of him any longer; but the fact was
that, during the last few weeks, I had
been making my wife sit for her picture,
which he was to come and pass his .judg-
ment on as soon as it was finished there
was question as to whether the Ilower in
her hair was an improvement or not.
But knew that Emily Jane would tell
Anna Maria all about it. However,
nothing was said until my birthday ar
rived, and with it the portrait, for which
the dear creature had saved up her pin
money, and put herself to the greatest in
convenience. l declare my heart smote
me for my base suspicious when 1 looked
upon that honest face, which had never
worn paint before Upon that day she
said: "By-the-by, John, when that tele-
graph arrived for me from Mr. Merring O.
ton, 1t didn't make you jealous at all, did
it?' -.
ooh dear no, my darling Jealous of
you? Impossiblcl Not, of course, that
you are not beautiful enough to make all
the world fall in love with you; but l
never dreamed of such thing"
"That's all right, john" said she, kiss

in her kind eyes Us she added, dryly: q

The Milkman's Donkey.

ooME forty years ago my husband spent
some months in Spain, and what he wit
messed and heard there quite revolution
lied his opinion of donkeys. When
habitually overloaded, beaten and half
starved, they undoubtedly become vicious,
obstinate and stupid; just as human beings
do under similar treatment. But with
the peasantry of Spain the jackass is a
petted favorite, almost an inmate of the
household. The women and children of
the family feed him from their hands, and
talk caressingly to him. He knows them
all, and loves them all. He will follow
his master, and come and go at his bid
ding, like faithful dog. He delights to
have the baby placed on his back, and to
walk round with him gently on the green
sward. His intellect expands in the sun
shine of affection, and he that is quoted as
the stupidest of animals becomes sagacious
They told Mr.. Child of peasant in the
neighborhood, who had for many years
carried milk into the market of Madrid to
supply set Of customers. Every morn
ing he and his donkey, with panniers well
loaded, trudged their accustomed round
One morning, when he was attacked by
sudden illness, and had no one to send with
his milk, his wife advised him to trust the
faithful animal to 90 by himself, since he
always knew just where to stop. The
panniers were accordingly filled with can
listers of milk, and the priest ofthe village
wrote request to customers to measure
their own milk and send back the empty
vessels. The donkey was instructed and
set off with his load. The door bells in
Spain have rope hanging outside the
house to which is appended a wooden
handle, or the hoof of some animal The
donkey stopped before the house of every
customer, and, after waiting what he
deemed a sufficient time, he pulled the
rope with his mouth. When he had gone
the entire round, he trotted home with the
empty canisters He continued to do this
for several days, and never missed GUS
tomer.-Lydla Maria Child
