as the dog saw the cheerful face. his fear
was gone at once. Before Mynheer could
have thought of it, he jumped mp to him
and licked his whole face, in suoh manner,
that he could hardly keep him of. When
he had quieted him q little, he told Claus
the whole story of the theft at Van Gro
tens, which none but the dog could have
accomplished, and also quieted the old man
about the theft. He said the dog had only
done what he would have done himself, Il
he had known of the sickness of his old
faithful servant. He should not trouble
himself about the money, for he had per-
feet right to keep it, Then as soon as
Claus was gone, he took a roll with fifty
forms, put on his hat, and gave them to
the dog to bring back the stolen money to
his friend Van Groten.
'Now," thought Van Beeren, when upon
reaching the house he found the window
open, on account of the warm weather, eff
] send Oppas in now by the same way he
got the money, we will know right off if he
can jump that high"
Upon reaching the window sill, he there
fore said: "Oppas, hop, jump up quick. "
With one jump he was there, and waited for
orders, wagging his tail.
Mynheer Van Beeren heard loud cry of
astonishment, but when the dog turned to
him, he beckoned to him to jump into the
office, which he did, upon which he himself
went into the Office.
Van Groten was not little astonished
when he saw his friends dog with roll of
money in his mouth. Van Beeren soon
solved the problem to him.
They laughed a great deal about the
affair, but Mynheer never left the window
open otter that when he left his Office, until
he had little lattice affixed to it. He did
not trust Oppas. for he thought he might
again get hungry for all extra meal, and try
to place himself in possession of it by simi-
lar means.

Why Mr.. Peabody Never Married

1t has been commended by some of our
aDleSt thinkers that the greatest amount of
good done In the world has been bpstswcd
by bachelors. Whether this be true or not.
we often wonder that many men. famous
Tor there kindness of heart and generosity
OF disposition, should remain single through
this sort than that OF the late George Pea
boy. 1t Is said that in his history there is a
romance that perhaps has never been made
public. n number of years ago, when Mr..
Peabody was just entering upon his career
OF success business man, in Baltimore, he
met by chance in the street a poor girl who
was but child, but whose pleasing face and
gentle manner attracted his notice. Oues-
uonlng her as to her parentase and sur
roundlngs, he found her in every way worthy
his regard, and fit subject for his benz
faction. He at tnce adopted her as his
wife and gave her an education. As she
advanced in age her charms of person as
well as the brightness of her intellect won
the affections other benefactor. Through this
relationship he had ample opportunity of
watering her progress, and day by day her
mold upon his affections grew stronger. At
length as the ward bloomed into wolnanhood.
though much her senior in years, Mr.. Pea
body offered her his hand and fortune
Gratefully approaching his generosity, and
acknowledging her attachment for him as
almost father, she with CRATE feeling con
fessed that honor compelled her to decline
the acceptance of this, his greatest act of
generosity, informing her sultor that her
affections had been given to some other,
clerk In the employ of her benefactor.
Though disappointed and grievously shock
ed the philanthropist sent for his clerk, and
learning from him that the engagement had
been OF long duration, Mr. Peabody at once
established his successful rival in business,
and soon after gave his benediction upon
the marriage of his ward This, it is said,
was the first blow his heart received, and it
is possible that from this episode came the
inspiration that made the future of Mr..
Peabody 50 universally distinguished, and
has rendered his name famous as a remak-
able public benefactor.-M Y. Sun.

How should he guess that waters in their flow

Nor seen the day set, nor the morning rise,
Nor seen the golden balancing and swinging

Who could paint April pictures, worth tn,
To notice OF his eyes
Suppose he had not seen the living daisies,
Nor seen the rose, so glorious and SO bright
Were it not better than your far.of praises
Ofall their lovely light,
To give his hands the holding of the daisies.
And of the roses bright?
D christian man, deal gently with the sinner
Think what an utter wintry waste is his
Whose heart oflove has never been the winner
To know how sweet it is
Be pitiful, oh Christian, to the sinner,
Think what world is his
He never heard the lisping and the trembling
Of Eden's gracious leaves about his head :
His mirth is nothing but the poor assembling
Offs great soul unfed-

And give him heavenly bread
As winter doth her shriveled branches cover
With greenness, knowing spring.time soit

Even SO the soul, knowing Jesus for lover,
Puts on a new attire
A garment as fair as snow, to meet the Lover
Who bids her come up higher.

Lifted the latch OF out door and left,
In search OF golden lands.
