Help Your Mother.

HE throne OF Prussia has been
occupied by monarchs with some
Of whose names pleasant memories
have been retained. One Of these,
we arc told. was one day a little
annoyed at having to ring his bell
more than once without anybody
answering it. On opening tile
door of bis cabinet, and entering
the ante chamber, he was surpris.
ed to find his page fast asleep in
chair. His first impulse was to
awaken him, and had he done SO,
no doubt he would have done it
rather roughly. On coming mp to
the sleeper, however, a playful
thought seemed to seize his maies
ty (for kings are but men), and he
resolved to amuse himself q little
mt the pages expense.
There was hanging partly out
of the boys pocket a paper, on
which the king observed something
was written. His curiosity was
excited. He would crafty it. 1t
would be mean for a fellow ser.
want to do such a thing no doubt,
but it was different with him. Did
he not wear a crown 2 So he quiet
ly leaned forward, and as STEALTH
ly as any London pickpocket, ex-
tracted the letter, and retreated
into the royal apartment. Taking
his seat, he opened it; and with a
gleam of amusement in lis eye, he
commenced reading. The letter
was from the boys mother, and
was as follows:
MY Dear Son I return you
many thanks for the money you
saved from your salary, and sent
to me. 1t has proven a great help
to me. God will certainly reward
you, my boy, for it, and, if you
continue to serve your God and
your king faithfully and conscien-
tiously you will not fail of success
and prosperity in this world.
From your loving mother,
MARY -"
BY the.time the king had finish
ed the letter his amused look had
given place to an expression OF
admiration, justice and benevo.
lence.
Worthy boy" he exclaimed,
"and equally worthy mother. The
act shall be rewarded" And then,
stepping softly into his closet, he
fetched number of ducats (worth
81. Cd. each) and rut them, with
the letter, into the boys pocket
After this he rung the bell violent
ly, which brought the page into
his presence.
"You have been asleep, l sup.
pose," said the king.
The Page stammered out an ex-
cuse and in doing SO, he put his
hand into his pocket, and felt the
money. Pale, and his eyes full OF
tears, he looked at tho king i'm
ploringly.
What is the matter with you ?''
said his majesty.
| "Oh," replied the boy, "some,
body has contrived my ruin g;
know nothing Of this money I"
| what God bestows," resumed
the king, using a German ploverb
che bes,ows in sleep; send the
money to your mother, and give
my respects to her, and tell her
that l will take care of both her
and you." ...
1t was with a light heart the
page wrote home his next letter.
Although the reader may have no
royal master to reward his virtue
he may still BY being kind to his
mother, if he have one, enjoy tha,
which after all was tho principal
ingredient in the boys cup of hap
piness, namely, the satisfaction o.
denying ones self of something
for the sake of her, who sacrificed
so much for us in our infancy.

that the yellow fever still fingers in that city,

deaths during the previous week were double

relative to this plague is published it gives
$4,000 as the total number of deaths during
the ravages of the tever-that is, from Jau-
uary to May This is a very heavy loss out OF
a population numbering only 10000 persons.
The British Medical journal thinks that by
reckless disregard Of the common rules OF
hygiene, in Buenos Ayres the soil and water
in that city have become so poisoned that it is
doubtful if there can be now applied any sui
icient remedy and some 60 so far us to say
that the remaining population will have to re-
