Gerry by their godfather. They Away
came running up to them when they wen
into the paddock where they were kept
and Teddy would rub his nose against Ma.
and grunt for some bread or apples, which
he liked very much /; and they would boil
| follow May aud Gerty all about the field

sorrowful look when they went away.
One day May and Gerty were going tx
ride, 80 Bob, the garden boy, put the sad
dies on the donkeys and brought then
ing there, 80 she ran out and threw he
arms around Teddy's head and stroked hi
long ears, and then she said, "Would vol

Teddy pricked up his ears at that, ani
seemed to understand; so May ran to tn.
kitchen and cried, ,"Cook, cook, pleas.
glue q poor hungry donkey crust"
Cook smiled, aud took some bits of bread
from a plate and gave them to May, who
got back to the porch just as Gerty came
down.
"Where's Teddy I" cried May, seeing lie
was not at the door. " He was here Just
V %%s,r and II have az got this bread for him
:" can't Think" said Gerty isn't he or
the lawnf"
"There's Bob; I'll ask him." said May,
running over towards the garden boy,
who had been among the shrubs cutting a
twig for her. "Bob, where's Teddy ~
cried May we can't fnd him."
:" left him at the porch, miss, >" said Bob,
opening his eyes very wide when he saw

on the rug, was Teddy, with his saddle on,
looking as pleased as possible, very likely
thinking that he had got into a beautiful
new stable.
Gerty came in to see what May was so
merry about, and she too laughed heartily,
as you may suppose.
Mr.. Teddy you see, finding the doors
open, had thought he should like to walk
in, and when he was there he did not seem
to want to walk out, for Bob, who was
called in to lead him away, could not get
him to move. Naughty Teddy planted his
feet firmly on the ground, and would not
be led out. 80
he lifted Mays riding-whip.
ooh POL no! please" cried May. "Don't,
Bob, please, he'll be very good! Come
with me, Teddy, dear, there's darling,
and she held up bit of bread just in front
Of Teddy's nose.

moved a step backward, still holding the
bread just too far off for him to reach it,
and then Teddy moved another step, for
he could not resist the bread, and SO at
last May coaxed him out of the room add

On the gravel walk, May patted himsa,ssiF
said, Now, you may have it, Teddy YOU

But after this Teddy was carefully
when he was brought to the porch,

THE ARTIST OF DANFztc.-In st. Mary's
Church, at Dantzic, is to be seen beauti-
is as follows: A poor artist was unjastly
accused of capital offence, and condemn
I'd to death. He implored his Judges to
grant him reprieve of a few days, that
he might fulfil q vow he had made. HIS
request was conceded, and on being recon
iucted to his prison, he threw himself on
his knees, and prayed fervently to Mary,
O. the afflicted; he then set him
'ef to model in clay the image of her
whom in his anguish he had so earnestly
INVOKED. His faith and his piety served
him for inspiration 80 noble and majestic
vas the figure that grew under his hands,
such grace did he throw around the figure

spce that the magistrates of the city were
struck with wonder and delight. "Is it
,ossible," they said one to another, "that

holy Mother of God could proceed from the
mind OF a man guilty of such a crime
The execution of the sentence must be sus-

With ordinations from his prison, and, as

which he owed the preservation of his life.
