Minnie and the Duckling.

| l want to tell the boys and girls who
read the Nursery true story about lit
| tie girl named Minnie, who lives on a
| lonely farm on Cape Cod.
| This little girl has a brood of duck
| lings. She has always fed and taken care
Of them, and she loves them dearly.
| Not far from Minnie's house is very
| deep well, with a high curb around it.
One day a cunning little duckling,
while running around the well, found
wide crack, through which it poked its
little body, and down it went into the
water.
If it had been chicken, it would have
very soon sunk, and we should have heard
nothing more about it; but being duck.
it swan about in the water as bright and
happy as ever.
When Minnie found where her poor lit
tie duckling was, she was very wretched !;
and she resolved at once to try to rescue
it. Her father was away, so she ran to
her mother, and begged her to let her go
down the well on ladder, as she had
once seen a man do. Her mother would
not consent.
Then she wanted to be let down in the
bucket When her mother said mo" to
that she was not at all discouraged, but
little duck. She knew that whatever was
done must be done quickly, for the water
of well is very cold, and she was afraid
that the duck would get tired and chilled
to death.
So she ran to her fathers barn and got
basket, tied rope to the handle, and
let it down the well, hoping that the
duck would swim into it. She tried this
for some time; but the basket kept NOV
ing about, and frightened the duck away.
Then she remembered that her father
had a duck made of wood, called dccou,
which he used when he went out shoot
ing. She found the decoy, and tied it
firmly inside the basket, so that it would
float at the top. Then she let the basket
down into the well again.
Just as soon as the duckling saw what
was in the basket, it futtered its little
wings and came sailing up to the wooden
image. can assure you it was not many
seconds before the duckling was drawn
up and landed safely on the ground, to
Minnie's great delight.-Ihe Nursery.

At the POst-Office Window.

AT the window for the delivery o.
| advertised letters special vigilance il
requisite on the part of the clerks to
guard against the delivery of advertised
| letters to unlawful and mistaken claim
ants. They sometimes have a difficult
task. however, in persuading an appli-
cant that the letter he inquiries for is not
for him but for another individual OF
similar name. One of them had such =
task not long since, when a daintily-
dressed and perfumed gentleman pre-
ented himself at the window and asked
for a letter advertised as remaining
uncalled for and addressed to Edward
Jackson"
The clerk soon found the missiye in
quired for, but, after reading the super
scription, said in decided tone:
'This letter is not for you, sir"
Not for me! Isn't it for Edward
Jackson?"
Eyes, sir; but it isn't for you?"
"My name is Edward Jackson
~ don't doubt it, sir; but, nevertheless,
I am sure this letter is not for YOU"
How can you know that, sir?" said
the exquisite, now becoming indignant
tit is astonishing, by the way, on what
slight provocatiOn Postoffice callers let
their passions rise(. "If you don't give
me that letter at once, FL report you to
Mr.. James,
The clerk, knowing that Mr.. James,
while he would not countenance imperti-
nent talking back" would be sure to
sustain him if he were in the right, coollv
answered:
II can't give you the letter unless YOU
answer the description in the address,"
"1sn't my name Edward Jackson, and
isn't the letter addressed to him? Don't
L answer the description"
Eyes, sir, so far. But that isn't
enough. The letter. Creading from the adj
dress) "is for Edward Jackson, colored,
cook on the schooner Dirty Jane. If you
answer to that description here's your
letter."
But Mr. Jackson didn't take it, and
vanished-leaving behind him an odor
of Jocky Club perfume and muttering
maledictions on the custom of advertis-
ing letters and on the head of the Gull
nary artist of the gallant Dirty Jane

The Old Fisherman's Story.

A little brightfaced boy just put a
match to the kindling wood of the CRATE,
and was watching the flame as it forced
Its way among the cracking coal, when,
half in thought and half aloud, he sald,
" Tho would think little match Would
make so big fire."
All, yes, my little man." said ms
father, "a little match, like other little
things, may do great good or great harm
A good apostle once said, Behold noW
great a matter little fire kindleth- AND
now, as our fire is burning, | will tell
you q story about little match, and the
| good that it did.

LIVER And GOLD.

In passing through life have constantly found
One maxim has led me Alright;
Its not very deep, but it's thoroughly sound,
And it's words need scarcely recite-
It's maxim that states with philosophy olden,
That speech may be silver but silence is golden.
I've been married. don't care to tell you how
long
I've bit of shrcw for my wife;
Her temper is bad and her language is strong,
But manage 10 keep out of strife
For the peace of my life to this hint I'm beholden
That speech may be silver but silence is golden.
She's fond OF a row, but row requires two,
And | prudently shrink from returts,
And simply for want of something to do,
She feels she is quite out of sorts
And such result my belief must embolden,
That speech may be silver but silence is golden.
