,GgT .1.ND FOLND AGAIN..

Simon Grey, | leave these children
in Your hands, and more than enough
to take care Of them until they are
able to help themselves, IN case J
should not return. AS you deal by
them, may God deal with YOU at the
Judgment.
1t was Captain FORESTER who ut
tered these words. lie was about to
bid farewell to his native shores again
for a VOYAGE Of three long years. Du-
ring the past year while he remained
at home, his wife had died, and been
buried in ;Ao old country church,
yard Of her native village, far away
from the busy town. She had lett
him two children, a boy and girl, the
former seven, and the latter five years
/ Of age. 1t was Of these, Tie dearest
object, in the world TO him, that lie

1UE SELF HILLk'D ROOSTER

lncre was once naughty rooster,
Who lived upon 4 farm;
And every hen predicted
That he would come to harm.
Every morning he was growing
Long enoush h before twas day,
And disturbing every biady
For half a mile away.
At last spccl;lcd pullet
Reasoned with him quite severe;
h4' IA away ..e ne s S';HJ}}}dddW II us WNTyGIa' hear.
Then the biddics called Il meeting,
TO see what could be done.
When they went out in the farmyard
They numbered twenty one,

1t almost makes me weep
Said a little Crochin China,
'BcCaUsc Of loss of sleep
"And have had Il headache
At least a month or two,'
Said noble Blahma Pootra,
From hearing 'Doodlc-doo 90.
and have had congestion"
Said little Bolton Gray;
Il wish that noisy rooster
Was thousand miles away
Then they choose 4 large committee
To wait upon the cock,
And asked him, quite politely,
Not TO crow till five o'clock.

At the very moment that he hearc

PUTNAM's RIDE At IIoRSESECE.-[ From the
New YORK Ecening PoSt.]-My grandfather,
Rev. Jonathan Murduck. NJ that time pastor
at Horseneck, had built what was then
the largest house in town. 1t now stands
next south of the church. In revolutionary
days it was used as headquarters by tie
British and Americans alternately. On the
day of the famous ride my grandfather and
General Putnam were on. the hill in front Of
the house conversing. The former was
mounted, but The latter was not. A servant
was also standing near with horse har-
messed TO Il cart. The British came in light.
MY grandfather immediately dismounled,
saying. General. take my horse; they do not
want me-they want yOu." Putnam TOOK
the horse and rode as last as possible, while
my grandfather waited to get the other
horse embarrassed. The General escaped,
but my grandfather and the servant were
taken. Had Putnam ridden bis own horse
there might Eave been some truth in the
stories about him. But my grandmother,
who was q spectator Of the scene l have mar.
rated, said hat the old horse could not have
been urged down the hill. The current story
was good one, aud no one cared publicly
to contradict it; 20 it went down to pos
tcritv. Thus it comes that instead of the
good, staid horse of an orthodox clergyman
OF those days, we see in children's school,
books pictures Of the General on a fiery, fly
ing charger, bounding down the rocks. Such
