THE DONKEY PHILOSOPHER.

THE DONKEY PHILOSOPHER. s.
Come close to the hedge, Teddy
said WORKOUT horse to his triend the
donkey, with whom be was picking up
scenty meal by the roadside. S.
"Why?" asked Teddy, following with
his measured pace.
Look who's toomiLg." said The horse,
And there passed aforementioned
cob drawing a cart full of fresh-cut
beans. "a ss .
How nice they smellt r said Teddy.
sI should think they must he very good;
but I never tasted any
Il used TO get them IN nay better
days." said his companion, sorrowfully
"but can never hope for them again.
He's q happy fellow, isn't no 2"
said Teddy, turning his head slowly round
TO watch the cart going up the hill.
'Some IRE born to prosperity, some
to adversely" sighed the horse. And he
went on to eDIertain the donkey with
bis recollections of the taste of beans,
and To draw comparisons between their
condition and that of the happy cob.
Some hours afterward, while they
were yet in the road, the cart returned
empty, and while the driver stopped to
chat with friend passing by, the horse
walked up to the cob.
Good evening, sir. Pray, what have.
you done with ali your beans?" b
Left them behind" said the cob.
''Well you are in very different cir
cumstances from what you were when
you passed US this morning." said the
old horse
"How SOP" asked the cob. &
"Can you askg" SAID the horse.
Were you not drawing after you a
burden of rich delicacies thai scented
the air as you passed p
'True, I was" replied the cob, "but
not for my own benefit, The most that
I have to d. with beans is to carry them
for the use Of others; It's seldom Z get a
taste my,elf."
"Ah," said Teddy to the old horse, as
the cob's master drove off at smart 'rot,
chow little we know Of the truth oil
things! I have often envied my cousin
Jack, that draws cart full of delicious
vegetables along this road every Satur-
day, but [ shouldn't wonder if he wculd
tell the same story No one can eat moro
than enough; and although 1t Looks fire
to have so much substance tackled to you,
| dare say in most cases where We see it
others get more good from it than he to
whom it seems to belong"
So he buried his nose contentedly IN
bunch of nettles; while the old horse
stood yet in melancholy attitude, try
ing to catch the last Whit of his lament

had left a greateful cdor.-Mrs. Poser's

LITTLE STORIES FROM THE
SCANDINAVIAN.
THE uNGRATEFUL CHILDREN.

THE UNGRATEFUL CHILDREN.
Tits justly said that God, parents
and teachers can never DO repaid for
the kindness they have bestowed on
any enc. But alas in this world it
goes too often according to the we'll
known problem, that father can
easier support six children than six
children one father. Here we have
such a narration about father who,
while living, gave all that he owned
to his children and expected them to
support him afterwards in his old
age. But when he had lived while
with his eldest son he became tired
of him and said: "Father, last night
my wife gave birth to son, and
where your arm chair stood the
cradle must now stand. Will you
not move ever to my brothers.? He
has get more room than I have"
After awhile, the second son also
became tired of him, and said !:
"Father you always liked a warm
room, and I have the headache from
it; would you not like TO go to my
brother, who ia a baker, he can stand
it better
The father went, and after he had
stayed some time, the third son said:
Gin my house we are always running
in and out, so you can never get
your afternoon sleep; would you not
rather go to sister Elma, who lives
outside the city gate? You will be
more quiet with her." The old man
looked at the clock and said :
Every we'll I will go, and try and
live with my daughters"
Women have generally tenderer
heart than men. But, after he had
stayed a while, the daughter became
anxious to get rid Of him also, and
pretended to be very much afraid
whenever her father had to pass
down the high stairway, either when
going to church or anywhere else,
and said: SAT sister Maria's you
need net go down any steps, as she
lives on the first floor" The old
man admitted that she was right, in
order that everything should go on
quietly aud peacefully, and went to
his second daughters.
When he had staid a couple of
days, he became burden to her
also, land she gave him tounderstand
through third person, that her
house, beng too near the water, was

who was married to the sexton ofSt.
Johns graveyard had a dryer and
healthier house.
So he went to the house Of his
youngest daughter, Laurina. He
had staid very short time, when
her son said to him:
"Mother told Aunt Hlda, yester-
day, that for you here were no bet
ter quarters than such as father was
digging in the graveyard. >
Wien the aged parent heard these
cruel words, his heart broke, and he
fell back into his armchair. and
died. st. johns graveyard received
him, and showed more mercy toward
him than his six children had shown;
there he can sleep undisturbed.
THE NOBLE HEARTED SONS.
There lived oncein Stockholm an
old man of nearly hundred winters.
He was tailor by profession, and
had twelve sons, who all had
served under Charles XII. Once
they got leave Of absence from
their regiments, to go and see heir
old father, whom they found, OF
their arrival, without bread, and
nearly starving. 'Father has no
briad," said one Of them, ''yet he
has given toSweden twelve warriors!
Our lear father must be helped; but
how?" :ECan't we find somebody
VINO woGld be willing to lend us a
little money!" asked the youngest,
who had great deal Of faith in God
and goodhearted people. CRY to
borrow money when we have moth
ing to give in security! What good
will that do? asked anothe. Have we
nothing at all 20 asked the youngest.
s'My brothers, l will show you that
we have. Our father is q tailor, and
has carried on his trade great
many years, and is now about to die
of starvation. This is sufficient proof
of his honesty We, his SONS, have
served for many years in the ranks
of the swedish army, and no one
can yet show stain upon our honor.
Let us give this. Jour honor, as security
/ think we might borrow a little
money on such PLEDGE
This idea WOE their general adprov-
al. The twelve brothers wrote and
signed the following letter: eve
twelve Swedes, sons of tailor who
is nearly 100 years of age, deprived
Of the necessary means Of support,
pray the directors Of the National
Bank for the sum Of two hundred
dollars, to be used for the support Of
our old and helpless father. Wei
pledge our honor as security, and
promise to pay the above named sum
to the bank within one year." This
letter was handed to the directors.
The sum asked for was given tol
them, and the letter torn to pieces !;
furthermore, the directors promised
to take care Of their old father as
long as he lived. Scarcely had this
happeued before it was made known
through the entire city, and rich and
poor paid visits to the old white
headed man, and none went empty
handed. The tailor was thus placed
in good circumstances, and after his
death left small capital for each of
his sons, a reward for their filial
love.
