The Five l'eaehes.

A peasant returning from the seitv
brought home with him five peaches,
the most beautiful ones he could find.
II was the first time his children had
ever seen this fruit; therefore they adj
mired them, and We're delighted with
their red cheeks and delicate down
The father then divided them between
his four children, reserving one for his
mother.
At evening, before the children went
into their sleeping-room, their father
asked them: well, how have the
peaches tasted?" .
Deliciously, dear father" said the
eldest. "They are fire fruit, so Juicy
and so sweet; have carefully kept the
stone, and | will plant it and rear a
tree"
9 "Geod," replied the father; "that is
acting prude tly, and caring for the
future as becomes a farmer" r.
I" l ate mine up at once, and threw
away the stone,"z said ~the.youngest,
and mother gave me half of hers.r
Well," said the father, You have
not acted wisely, but still natural and
like child. Wisdom will come byand
by ...I,--.
The second son then said Il picked
up the stone which little brother threw
away, and cracked IT, There was
kernel in it like nut. But + sold my
peach, and received for it meney
enough to buy twelve when go to the
city," -
The father shook his head aud said:
" 1t was wisely done, indeed, but it was
not natural nor chilk-like; think you
are destined to be a merchant.n8
And you, Edmond?" asked the fatll-
er. Edmond answered frankly and
az carried my peach 70 our
son, the sick George, who IL
i'll Of fever. He refused to take it,
Then laid it upon his bed and came
home.n
"Well," said the father, land who
has made the best use of his peach >"
Then all three cried out, " Brother
Edmond ~ But Edmond was silent,
and his mother embraced him with
tears i'm her eyes.

4 woman, with a baby six months
old In her arms, alights from an omni-
bus in the dusk of rainy evening,
when up steps q gentleman with q
quiet, but firm manner, and says:
Let me take him into the car" The
mother, with q calm indifference, re-
signs the child to the gentleman, who
takes it into the car Of the train which
Is ready to start. It needs no further
information than Is afforded by the
fond caresses lavished upon the child
to know that it Is in the arms of its ia
ther; and the wee sweet little thing is
delighted, too, willie the mother sits
aloof and gazes coldiy out Of the win
dow. Soon the bell Of the locomotive
rings, the conductors voice is heard
warning the passengers to get on board,
and the man, kissing the baby with q
wild kiss, places IL in the lap of Its mo-
ther, whispers q low goodbye to the
woman and leaves the car. AS the
train moves of, the prattling face of
the infant is-seen &c the window by the
father, and its little hand Is extended
towards him. He touches it far brief

A curious "ice match" recently
took place near San Francisco, to test
the relative virtues of two specimens
of ice, one from Little Grass Valley,
and the other from Summit. Both
blocks, weighing each l3l pounds,
were placed in the sun, with even
chances, the mercury marking 30 de.
grees in the shade. "The Summit
chunk" says the report, "was broad
and rather fiat, while the Grass Valley
specimen was. longer, and sat on one
end" Toward noon, as the match be-
came hot, and streams of water trick
led down the faces OF the antagonists,
there was great excitement among
the friends of the respective chunks"
and bets ranged from $3.50 20 Sl0O.
The Summit chunk began to have the
best Of it. Grass Valley showed deep
burrows. while Summit took the mat
ter cody, and seemed confident of
victory. About the middle of the af-
fernoon the friends Of Grass Valley
gave up, aud went to betting on how
long Summit would last. 1t grew
dark before the. cake was melted, and
the match against time had 10 be COLI
tinued by the light oflsnterns. Sum-
nit beat Grass Valley 4 hours and 90
minutes. About $500 changing
hands OH the result. =. ....,T
