Little Story.

The Emperor Williams favorite mare
which he rode at the battle of Sadowa
died short time ago, and in connection
with the event, this story is related. Dur
ing the battle, the King, accompanied by
Prince Bismarck, repeatedly placed him
self in great danger from the shells whiz-
ling around. In vain Prince Bismarck
urged his king not to expose himself so.
"But,'' relates the Prince, "when His
Majesty had ordered the cavalry to adj
vance at Lipa, and the shells came thicker
than ever ventured to expostulate afresh,
and said, if your Majesty has no pity
for yourself, at any rate have some for
your minister for whom your faithful peo
pie will hold you responsible The KING
then gave me his band and replied, well,
Bismarck, now let us ride on So saying
His Majesty turned and cantered away
as slowly as though riding along the

Over his forge bent David Gray,
And thought of the rich man across the way.
Hammer and anvil for me-" he said,
And weary toll for the children's bread,
For him, soft carpet and pictured walls,
n life of ease in his spacious halls
The clang of the bells on his dreaming broke;
A flicker Of tlame \ whirl of smoke.
Ok in travis, forge grown white hot,
Coat and hat were alike forgot.
As up the highway the blacksmith ran,
In face and mien like drunken man.
School-house atirc!" Mems hearts stood still
AS women prayed rs women WILL.
While 'bove the tumult the wailing cry
Offrightened children rose shrill and high. \
Night in its shadow hid sun and earth
The rich man sat by his costly hearth.
Lord OF wide acres and untold gold,
But wifeless, childless, forlOrn and old.
He thought of the family Gross the way;
Il would" he said,"" were David Gray"
The blacksmith knelt ut the children's bed
To look once more at each smiling head.
!" My darlings all safe! On, God!" he cried,
=" My sin Thy boundless mercy hide!
"Only to-day have learned how great
Hath been Thy bounty and my estate"

The other day Il ledger at.thc johnson

drink of cider. He was assured he could
not buy it in the city. "Can get it by the

could. So he went up to a store and in
quircd if they had any cider to "sell by
