The Highwayman's Reward.

In 1863 gentleman was passing one
night over Point Neuf, Paris, with a Ian
tern. A man came up to him and said,
"Read this paper" He held up his Ian
tern, and read as follows:
Speak not work when you've this read,
Or In an instant you'll be dead!
Give us your money watch and rings,
With other valuable things
Then quick, in silence, YOU depart,
Or ], with knife will cleave your heart ~
Not being man of much pluck. the
alfrightend gentleman gave up his watch
and money and ran off. He soon gave the
alarm, and the highwayman was arrested.

strength. His large gray eyes instantly
fastened themselve on the bell, that splen-
did masterpiece, whose making meant 80
much to him. They had told him the
whole story of the casting and the disas-
ter in the foundry, but it all sounded like
a wild romance to him.

said he shaking his head with smile.
'It's all new to me, all new and strange

Every eye turned upon the invalid
Some of the men felt almost afraid, it was
so much like resurrection to have him

had known so long unidentified, now a
young man keen and intelligent, as il
changed into another being.

Two men lifted him up and put a small
hammer in his hand.
He struck one gentle blow A deep,
sweet, mournful tone, solemn as the sound
of distant waterfalls, rolled from the great
bell and echoed through the foundry. Tears
filled the eyes of the rough men as they
heard it.
"Ah, said the master. there's a halle
lujah in that, and it may we'll begin here.
Long may this bell praise God He saved
in it the ruins of the furnace by one wise
thought in the ruins of Il human BRAIN
Our furnace is rebuilt, and behold, this
dear boy has his reason again The bell
and the boy shall glorify God together.
"Amen," murmured all the listeners.
Then the great bell was lowered, and as
the truck was rolled away with its melo-
dicus burden the boy was lifted and
carried after it, and both went out into
the sunny day together, the rough men
standing in the doorway waving their
hands.

Mistaken Identity.

A short time ago man was brought to
one OF the London Police Courts charged
with some offence not of very serious ma
tlre. 1t was stated that lie had been pre-
Viously convicted at the Mansion House
and at Worship Street. He admitted that
he had been at Worship Street, but stout
ly denied that lie had ever been at the
Mansion House. He was identified as
having been there by his photograph hay
ing scar over the left eye, and having
lost the first joint Of the forefinger of the
left hand. This certainly appeared pretty
coed evidence Of identity.
The prisoner was remanded for IL week,
and during that week another man who
had scar over the left eye, who had lost
the first jJint of the foretinger of the left
hand, who equally rescmbed the photo.
graph, and who was, in fact, the man who
had been at the Mansion House, was taken
into custody. The two men who had no
