THE MILK-CAN OF sTRAsBURa.

At the time when the Prussians had
begun to surround the city of Stras-
burg, before the town people were forbid>
den to pass to and from the city, French
gentleman of the name of Despard had
been shut up in the city with his little girl
Marie. Their own home was on the
coast of Brittany but his business-for
he was large exporter of leather and
carpets-had brought him to Strasburg.
Like most French folks, he had thought
the great army had only to make mill
tary holiday of its march to Berlin but
he found his mistake. He had two diff
culties to encounter first to escape the
French garrison, who were exceedingly
jealous of any able-bodied man leaving
the city, and, secondly, to pass through
the Prussian sentries.
Every day made their position worse.
The Prussian batteries had opened fire on
the forts, and though thus far they tried
to spare the town, yet shell every now
and then would scream through the air,
and falling into the open streets, scatter
desolation around. So M Despard, hav-
ing found deserted cellar, carried the
little Marie there one dark night, and, 10y
degrees, stored away small stock of pro-
visions, candles, and so on. Day by day
they said their prayers earnestly-day by
day they talked of the dear wife and
mother far away in the little fishing vii
lage on the coast, from whom no letters
now came.
NJ. Despard thought over every plan,
and a: last determined on bold project.
One dark evening he returned with a
stranger. Marie almost cried out IN ter
ror, till, when the candle was lighted, she
saw stout peasant woman, with
strange sort of linen bow tied on the top
of her head. Marie opened her eyes as
the country woman put down an enor-
nous milk-can-a perfect giant in its
way-polished like silver, with a brass
tap and jaunty looking lid, and two plish-
ed handles, and standing about four feet
high, and foot and half in diameter.
Then, hurriedly, the father explained that
he had bought this milk>can, and to what
use he was TO put it. He had bought it
of the good Ursule, and Marie was to get
into it some day, and be carried out past
the French and Prussian lines, and see
her dear mother and home once more,
and pick up shells from the beach, and
see the goats and the old brindled cow.
So, with great care, NJ. Despard took
off the lid of the monster milk-can, and
slowly drew forth suit of peasant wo-
mans clothss-cap and gown, and wood
en- shoes-and -four to make his hair gray.
And Ursule laughed, in quiet way, and
told Marie to be brave little girl, and
not to mind the milk>can for an hour
So she bade father and child good bye,
with many tears on Marie's part, and
promised that in a week s time she would
come, ann, bringing her donkey cart, take
Marie, and her father safe through the
sentries. There was no time to be lost,
for after that date no country people could
pass in and ou; of the city.

THE RAIDS OF DEATH.

This magnificent piece of poetry is from the
Church, in Louisville
On his phantom steed, with passions speed,
Death sweeps Oh his circuits wide
Through every zone he rides alone,
With death as his weird bride.
Pause and think,
On the brink
OF the tide
Dim and wide
In the gloom
OF thy doom
Passing thee.
With mocking glee o'er every sea,
He gathers his tracking storm,
And he hunts down life in its gasping strife,
In every breathing fern
With his muffied feet, his courser fleet,
O'Ortakes each flying man,
And summons him back in every crowd,
To tramp in his caravan.
Ponder sigh |
Each must die
Vengeful death,
In each breath,
ConQuers life.
To the laughing child and the savage wild,
To the maiden in mystic light
TO the rayless mind, in mission kind
To hope with its beamings bright
10 the proud and great in pomp and state
To all of vagr0nt's birth
TO the heart of grief. like a smitten leaf
10 al OF this moaning earth,
Hastens death,
Ponder death
Inky waves,
Silent graves,
All around
Thee abound
Man! o man

A RIDDLE-s5O REWARD.

THE celebrated Annie Stewart left in her
will bequest of fifty pounds to be given to
the person who should solve this riddle We
believe the reward has never been claimed:l
he neblest action in the world of art
The brightest gem that nature can impart,
! he point essential in lawyers case,
The well known signal in the time of peace,
The farmers prompter when he drives the plow,
The soldiers duty and the lovers vow,
The planet seen between the earth and sun,
The riZe that merit never yet has won.
The miser's treasure and the badge of Jews,
The wife's ambition and the parsons dues,
Now, if your noble tpirit can divine
A corresponding word of every line,
By the first letters quickly will be shown
An ancient city of no small Tenown.

A FARMERS BLUNDER old farm
er recently drove his old mare into Lex>
ington, KY, leaving her colt at home.
On his return, which was after dark, he
turned her out in the lot where the colt
was, and thought all was right. In the
course of an hour or two a servant came
in and told him the mare was fighting her
colt and would not allow it to partake of
the maternal font. This irritated him so
that he said he would fix her, and out lie
went to carry his threat into execution.
He caught her and tied her head up to
tree as high as he could reach, and brought
the colt up. But with all that he could
do the obstinate nag would kick the colt
away. At last, after worrying for some
time to no effect, and almost despairing
of success, he happened to take another
lock at the beast, ard found, to his aston
ishment, that he had inadvertently brought
horse belonging to some other man, and
it was no wonder that he did not succeed
in his undertaking. He had to make the
trip back to town that night 20 make the
exchange, and he did not get TO bed until
after midnight.

THE Mrscu1Er CARR1ER.-There

THE MISCHIEF CARRIER There is
no more odious character in the world
than the person who carries to the ears of
one friend every injurious observation that
happens to drop from another. Such a
one is the slanderer's herald, and is alto
gether more odious than the slanderer
himself. BY his vile officiousness he
makes that effective which else were inert
for three.fourths of the ISLANDERS in the
world never injure their object, except by
the malice of carriers, who, under the
mask of double friendship, act the part of
double traitors,
