Her father and mother were dead, and
she was keeping house for an, unmarried

Something swept over his heart with
passionate force-some regret, some long
ing, he scarce knew what. If he had
suffered at losing her eight years before,
he felt. that such loss now would kill
him. He quietly entered the open door,
paused on the Tthreshold of Ethe room
where she sat alone. She still sung soft
ly, but, as he looked, stopped, sighed, and
became silent.
"Nellie /" he would have said, but his
voice was s'enlya whisper: '''''''

John Holt smoothed her hair tenderly,

i CAUSES OF WAR.-A certain king sent
to another king, saying, "Send me blue
pig with black tail, or else -. !"
The other replied, ~ have not got one,
and if had"
On this we;ghty cause they: went to
war. After they had exhausted their
armies and resources, and laid waste their
Kingdoms, they began to wish to make
peace i; but before this could be done it
was necessary that the insulting language
that led to the trouble should be ex-
planned. .:. =,

"Why, ofconrse5ifI had should'have

The exploration was satisfactory, apd
peace was accordingly concluded.
The story of the two kings ought to
serve as lesson to us all. Most of the
!, qtiarrels between individuals are quite as
foolish as the war ofthe blue pig with a
black tail.
