A gentleman in Des MONIES owns a
very intelligent little dog, which he has
trained to bring him his morning paper
from the front gate, where it IS left by
the carrier. The other day some one
stole the paper directly after the car
rier had left it, and Carlo was greatly
mystiied about the matter Fearing
his masters anger if he entered the
breakfast room without his accustom-
ed burden he secured about in great
distress. A happy idea struck him.
however, as he espied journal lying
on the doorstep of the opposite neigh
bor' and galloping off in high glee, he
soon came into the house with ears
pricked up and tail briskly wagging,
with the stolen prize in his mouth. It
is quite needless to add that this pene.
tration, though misdirected, was re-
warded with a bone of extra size.

"A singular story Of jealousy and
revenge comes to us from Sicily. a
beautiful young girl named Florina,
who was the belle Of travelling circus,
in which she figured as the lion tanner,
had been for some time receiving the
attentions Of an athlete belonging to
the same troupe. By some means she
ascertained that he was no: faithful 20
her, but had another lady love. No
signs, however, of her painful discovery
were allowed to escape. She still smiled
sweetly upon him, but responded cold.
~ to his ardent caresses. In her own
bosom she planned a terrible revenge.
One evening recently when the perform
ance had been unusually brilliant
after Florina had whipped the lions and
forced them to lie at her fect--she
called her recrcant lover aside and said
to him: ''Do you still love me!'' "Al.
ways" he answered. "Do you know /
should die if you should devote your
self to another woman?" what an
idea!'' responded the young man. "But
/ should first kill you," said Florina.
"And how would you do that?''
"Thus,' cried the girl, at the same in.
slant pushing him violently into the
cage Of the lions. They attacked the
unfortunate man at once and tore him
to pieces, while Florina urged them on
with blows Of her whip.

Is there no place on the face OF the earth
There charity dwelleth, where virtue has

Where hosoms in kindness and mercy

And the poor and the wretclled shall ask
and receive
Is there no place OH earth where a knock
from the poor
Will bring kind angel to open the door {;

There is no open door for the money less

Drives of with its splendor the darkness

Whele the rich banging velvet, in sha-

Go dow the long aisle-see the rich and
the great,
In the pomp and the pride of their worldly
estate,
Walk down in your patches, and find If
you can,
Who opens a pew for moneyless man.
Go look to your judges, in dark flowing
gown,
With the scales wherein law weigheth
quietly down,
Where he frowns On the wes K and smiles
on the streng,
And Furnishes right while he justifes
wrong;
Where Jurors their lips Oh the Bible have

To render 81 verdict they've already

Till your limbs have grown cid and your
