A Touching 'k'a1c.

The antithesis OF the old and possibly
cover true taIe' of the patient Grisaldss
is to be found in that OF poor maniac,
who haunts the mountains about Part
tenheim, in Bavaria, and whose tragic
history is the following Joseph and
Anna Maria Falkner were, not long
since, the handsomest and happiest
couple in the neighborhood. joseph
poacher, and, one night, being pursued
by forester, turned and shot the man.
But others had seen the deed, and his
native woods were no longer safe ref
uge for Falkner He fed with his wife
and two children, one of whom was an
infant, toward the Austrian frontier.
AS the whole family were sleeping con-
cealed Ill a thicket, the sound of hoofs
were heard. ''The gendarmes,'' NUT
tered Falkner, pressing his wife's arm.
She started SO violently that she woke
the baby at her breast. sKeep it uuiet,
whispered Falkner hoarsely. Anlaa press
ed the child closer to her to stifie it's
cries, The gendarmes stopped and
seemed to be listening Then Falkner
laid his hand on his chlld's mouth. Fol-
ten minutes the pursuers stood still. Fol
ten minutes the fathers hand stilled the
cry of the child. When the gendarmes
rode away the infant was dead The
family then proceeded to the frontier,
where the custom-houSe officers inqu T.
Ell whether rhey had anything to de-
clare. Nothing" replied Falkner.-
Then Anna Maria. more mother than
wife, produced the dead babe, and told
her piteous tale, but reason gave way IL
this supreme moment.

A wealthy lady was invited one sun
day by a friend to visit the chapel c.sf the
Five Point Mission, to listen to the
singing of those hundreds of waits for
whom this charity is doing such noble
work.
On her arrival home she noticed the
loss of valuable sleeve-button, the in
itiais of which were set with diamonds,
and Immediately ordered her coachman
to return with a note to the s,,perintend-
ent, stating her loss, and enclosing a
handsome reward to the one who found
it.
In the meantime, little girl, one of
the scholars, started for her poor meagre
home, aud in the hall near the door
picked up the button, and as she stood
for moment adnliring it's sparkling
beauty, notorionsly bad boy ON the
street snatched it from her hand, and
ran down an alley.
She at once informed the superin-
tendent, who started in pursuit, and
succeeded in obtaining the costly jewel
without much trouble, and at once dis
patched it to the owner by the servant
in waiting Then calling the little girl
he said, '.Annie, the lady who lost that
button has sent me some money to buy
present for the finder now what will
you have ?''
'Oh, sir can I have anything 1
want?
Anything in reason. child"
"Then, sir, please give me pair of
button boots" she exclaimed, clapping,
her hands in delight.
O, children of pride and wealth, how
little you know of the extatic pleasure
that thrilled the heart IF that poor, pow
erty stricken child at the prospect of
having her First, perhaps, } childish wish
granted.
''You shall have them," said the su-
perintendent !; smiling at her joyous en-
thusiam but almost instantly her
brown eyes filed with tears as she said,
" please Mr.. B-will you pay moth
er's rent instead of buying the shoes ?"
Since you have shown yourself such
and self-denying little girl,
you shall have money for both, said the
kind superintendent /; and who shall be |
able to estimate the Joy and happiness |
of that unselfsh heart
