HONESTY REwARDED.-A A humorous in

of ex.Queen Isabella Of Spain. One Of the
young ladies of the Queen had lost her
pocket book du iug walk Oh the seashore
The book contained some eight hundred
francs in bank bills, and was mourned as
lost, when, few days after, a peasant,
bright and handsome, presented himself at
the Queens residence and brought the
pocket-book back.--An examination of It's
contents proved shat nothing was missing.
Aud now. my ifiend, said the Queen
touched by the honesty of tie young pea.
SAINT, what kind of reward do you want ?
Tell me anu - !. car realize your wish, !

The young peasaut had, in the mean.
time, looked with delight aud admiration
at the young lady who had got back her
pocket book, and who was so happy about
its unexpected recovery that tears OF joy
rolled down her checks. OF course, these
tears made the young lady, who is marvel.
Ously beautiful even more bewitching and
when the young peasant was asked by the
Queen in the aforementioned way, he was
bold enough to say:
81 wait no reward but cne kiss from that
young lady"
Her Majesty smiled, ap3, turning to the
young girl said:
