A gentleman named Needham re-

triever dog; and, having undressed
himself, deposited his clothes, contain

cradle sum of money, On the bank
leaving them in charge Of the dog, with
injunctions to mind them. This ne
did somewhat too faithfully to be pleas,
ant, for when Mr.. Needham, having had
his bath. advanced toward his clothes
with the intention Of dressing himself,
the dog. which was a young one, did not
recognize his master without his clothes,
and resisted all his attempts to possess
himself Of them. Mr.. Needham returned
to the water, and by dint of repeatedly
whislipg and calling to the dog, ~
length coaxed him TO leave his charge
and 90 to him; but no sooner had the
dog left the clothes than some men,
who must have been lurking near snd
witnessed what had occurred, seized the
clothes and ran off with them. MI.
Needham had to remain where he was
till some boating men came by, VINO
lent him some clothing, with which ne
was enabled to go home; but he has no'
heard anything Of his missing proper

HER TWO HANDS.

Old Caspar came home about sunset.
His pick wa on his shoulder /; SO was
his old wool hat, for he thrust it far
back from his wrinkled front. Caspar
had . bend, as if he had been half per.
suaded these many years to 90 on hands
and knees again, SO heavily time sat on
his back, and so close to the earth did
his daily labor draw him.
He was a ~good.natured, trotting old
fellow, working his mouth eagerly, and
straining his blea-ed eyes, as he ap-
preached the towns draggled skirts, for
very thinking of his folks-his old wo.
man and his little gal.
There rows of dismal frame
huts all around, built by railroad com.
panies for the purpose of penning as
many of their employees families al q
time as possible. They reposed, grimy
and barn like, squat on that sandy
foundation which Scripture condemns,
swarming with legions of tallow. headed
children. Women, sharp at the elbows,
and sharper at the face, were raising
clouds Of pork smoke from their re-.
spective kitchen affairs. In fact the
whole neighborhood reeked with the
smell of grease, and the evening was SO
warm a Laplander might have resented
II. But Caspar's nose was not delicate.
He trotted over the cinder sidewalk,
nodding this way and that, glad there
was such a fine air, and that his old
bones were so near home.
"Thar's the little gal, 9 usual" he
chuckled, as he turned a corner and
found Madgie on her look out at the
gate. She was a comforting sight 10 see
IN that neighborhood, so tidy and fair,
in calico and braids, and the pink flesh
color of youth. You wondered why
she hadn't been set further up town,
and draped in something costly; why
her deft fingers had never learned there
were ten keys to unlock a soul which
S'umbers in rosewood, and which rises
at . touch, like some blessed genii, to
comfort all ills and fill all thoughts /;
you wondered why some high-bred
father vas not coming home to her now.
But then this old man would have found
il 20 hard to do without her. Then,
VOC, Madge might never in her life have
struck the royal heart which was now in
her hands, in which she held her bank
against all the future, and the interest
Of which was the only income she
wanted.
"There you are, grandpa" cried
1adge.
ayes, and there you are, Madgie.
And here we both are, Madgie I" enter.
ing the open gate, and casting down his
pick.
He put his hands on each side Of her
head, and gave her a sounding smack
on the cheek.
"Suprer's ready"
"Yes, yes, just wait till l git q little
Of the smut off my hands and neck.
It's been q powerful hot, dusty day."
Caspar trotted through the little barn
allotted to him, hailed his old wife, who
at ready to pour his tea, and after
blowing and plunging through a deal of
water, returned to his family with shin.

When free from the cares Of State,
nothing can be simpler than the daily
routine Of life Queen Victoria leads
at Balmoral Castle. She manages her
household on very strict principles,
the servants rising according to merit
promotion always being held out. For
. stupid act one member Of the royal
household had to wait ten years for pro.
motion. Her Majesty rises at seven,
breakfasts at nine, and then attends to
dispatches and private correspondence.
Luncheon is at two, after which she
takes the air in her carriage. During
meals . piper plays in front of the win.
dow. She dimes at halfpast eight, in
the library. not having used the large
dining hall since the death Of her hus-
band. There is no display in the library
the arrangements arc Of the simplest
character. She spends much of her
time alone in. Prince Alberts room.
She comes quietly in to dinner, with hel
knitting in her hand, and retires early.
She is q woman Of great method. In
all weathers she is seen abroad. A
rainy day does not keep her in; with a
waterproof and IN umbrella she defies
the elements. 1t is quite . common
thing to see her walking in the grounds
under a drilling rain. She is a hardy
woman, having no s'fine lady" fancies.
She dresses consistently with the eli
mate and the weather; and a fresh,
comely- looking lady she is in her com
Portable plain jacket and her broad

to do it we propose to place before our
