on Monday " During the dark days of the
rebellion Mr.. Lincoln addressed commu-
nication to the Governor (Rector) of
Arkansas, asking how many men and how
much money his State would furnish for
the war; the reply was, " Not man or a
dollar Now the State is almost crazy in
volunteering to form regiment to visit

Two Bills.

Two bills We're waiting in the bank for
their turn to get out into the world. One
was little bill, only one dollar; the other
was big bill.
While lying there side by side, they fell
a talking about their usefulness. The dol.
lar bill murmured out:
"Ah! if were only as big as YOU, what
good would do! could move in such
high places, and people would be so careful
OF me, wherever | should 90! EVERYBODY
would admire me, and want to take mo
home with them but, small as am, what
good can l do? Nobody cares for me. |
am too little to be of any use"
All, yes! that is So" said the thousand
dollar bill; and it gathered up its well
trimmed edge that was lying next to the
little bill, in conscious superiority. "That
IS SO" it repeated. IF you were as great
as am, thousand times bigger than YOU.
then you might hope to do some good in
the world" And its face smiled wrinkle
of contempt for the little dollar bill.
just then the cashier comes, takes the
little murmuring bill, and kindly gives it
to a poor widow.
"God bless you?" she cries, as with a
smiling face she receives it. "Mv dear
hungry children can now have some
bread"
A thrill of JOY ran through the little bill
as it was folded up in the widows hand.
and it whispered g may do some good.
II am SMALL" And when he saw the
bright faces of her fatherless children. if
was very glad that it could do little good.
Then the little dollar bill began its Jour
ney of usefulness. 1t went first to the
bakers for bread, then to the milliner's.
then to the farmers, then to the laborer's.
then to the minister's, and wherever it
went 1T gave pleasure, adding something to
their JOY.
AT last, after long, long pilgrimage of
usefulness among every sort of people, it
came back to the bank again, crumpled,
deiaced, ragged, softened by its daily use.
Seeing the thousand dollar bill there, with
scarcely wrinkle or finger mark upon it,
it exclaims:
Pray, sir, what has been your mission
of usefulness ?''
The big bill replies 81 have been from
safe to safe among the rich, where few
could see me, and they were afraid to let
me go out far lest | should be lost. Few
indeed are they whom / have made hap.
pier by my mission"
Then the little dollar bill said: at is
better to be small and 60 among the mul.
tidues doing good, than to be so great as
to be imprisoned in the safes of the few"
And it rested satisfied with its lot.
