How Old Joe Became Beautiful.

Poor old Joe was an ugly old man,
indeed nearly everybody called him
"ugly joe" The older people used him
as kind of scarecrow for their children,
SO that the poor little things ran of
whenever he came near. But this was
a great pity, for poor old Joe was as
harmless as they were, and dearly loved
little children. Often he tried to coax
them to him, but they would have 10th
ing to do with the poor old man. So,
one day he went up to the graveyard and,
there, off by itself, he found a neglected.
little grave with no little ston to tell who
lay beneath and overgrown with weeds.
Carefully old Joe pulled up everyW1eeod,
then sodded the little grave With ffeslii
green grass and brought sweet wild
flowers and planted them upon it. Every
day he spent much time upon it till he
seemed to love that little grave Aud
one morning lie was found lying close
beside 1t, with his arms stretched out
above it cold aud dead for poor old Jos
had gone where there would be many to;
love him, and they buried his body close
beside the little grave he had loved.
A day or SO after old Joe was buried a
lady and gentleman came to the village.
They were the parents of the child who
slept beneath the little grave. They had
left the village scme years before, too
poor to buy little tombstone to place
above their child's grave, but had now
come back wealthy. They were surprised
when they saw the little grave SO wen
taken care Of, aad the mother wept whea
she heard the story ofold joe. Aud oYes

When he crowcd and coocd and eleva

in the air he was study for pain

from bottle and filed in witt, nourish

admitted to be far beyond his weeks.
In short he was quite Il seductive kASy,
and he made great many friend, not
only for himself but his mother, who
however, rather avoided than courtod at.

When the mother Of the baby came
on board She. inquired which was the
nearest town to St. Louis, and was told
Chester. That, she said, was the place
she wanted to 80 to, ana when the oolt
arrived at Chester, just before dinner
on Saturday, she left taking her charge
with her. The weather was warm and
pleasant, but as babies arc notoriously
guilty of the Group at all kinds of lin

to her manternal bose as she swung
across the gang plank aud mounted, the
bank. Everybody was sorry the baby

but it was sharp and re emonstrative.

And the bold est held his breath.
For a time
Capt. O'Nell, with presence of mind
which docs immortal honor to his head

and exclaimed with burst of honest
enthusiasm 'I'm blessed if that isn't
