A MOUSE AND a FRoG.-A mouse
in an evil day made acquaint-
ance with frog, and they set off
on their travels together. The
frog. on pretcnse ofgIeat affection,
and Of keeping his companion out
of harms way, tied the mouse's
hind foot to MS own hind leg, and
thus they proceeded for some dis
tance by land. Presently they
came to some water, and the frog,
bidding the mouse have good cour-
age, began to swim across. They
scarcely. however, arrived mid
way, when the frog took a sudden
plunge to the bottom, dragging
the mouse after him. But the
struggling and foundering Of the
mouse made so great commotiou
in the water that it attracted the
attention Of q kite, which pounc-
ing down bearing of the, mouse
carried away the frog at the same
time in his train.

to set things to rights. No mat
ter how many servants you have,
it is u miserable habit and if lis

have used the dipper, towel, tum-
bier, ETC., put them back in their
places, and you will know where TO
find them when you want them
again. Or if you set an example
of careIessness, do not blame your
servants for following it. Children
should be taught to put things
back in their places as soon as

WHAT WE OWE TO POVERTY
Wealth owes to poverty an i'm
menso debt. Society is immensely
and everlastingIy indebted to the
poor who have done its work, the
long forgotten work on which 1t
builds and lives. It is poverty that
felled the forests, and planted the
wilderness, and levelled the hills,
and made straight the paths in
which we walk. Poverty handled
and trimmed and laid upon one
another every brick and stone by
which this city has been built up,
stretched every telegraph wire
from Maine to California, twisted
every strand Of the cable which
binds the hemispheres in electric
communication.
Directed by intelligence, it is
true, but what were the brain
without the hands ? Without pow
erty, who would serve US and do
our work, build our railroads and
navigate our ships; and procure
the products by which civilization
subsists? Let not wealth come in,
and say: at is my capital that has
done all this !" True, my brother,
but whence the capital? Hast
thou then spun it spider-like, out
of thine own bowels? That capital
is also tho product of poverty.
Thy capital is needed and moulded
with the sweat Of thy brothers
face. His years, his weary years,
are in it; it is carved out Of thy
brothers life. For what is capital
but concrete labor-the labor of
the past condensed and made por-
table? Poverty, not wealth, has
done the work. He is the great
and patient creditor Of US all. Pow
crty, hard-handed, coarse-clad, toll
bowed, weather-sr Scared, shut out
from the palaces, and temples of
thine own rearing thou art our
creditor. Who shall repay thee
thy long dues? What reckoning
will that be when thou and wealth
shall "meeta compt!"- !"-Dr. Hedge.
