A Partisan Story.

Lately a traveller passed in a carriage
along the Avenue du Neuilly; the night
was dark; all at once the horses stopped,
and the traveller saw the animals had met
an obstacle. At the same moment man
raised himself before the horses and ut
tered a cry.
"Why don't you take care" said the
traveller.
"Ah," cried the man, "you would do
better, instead of hallooing, to lend me
your lantern"
"What for2"
IL had three hundred francs of gold on
my person; my pocket has broken, and
all is falling in the street. 1t is COM
mission with which my master has en-
trusted me. If do not find the money
l am ruined man."
at is not easy to find pieces on such a
night; have you none leftf'
Yes, l have one"
"Give it to me-"
The man hesitated.
"Give it to me; it will be the means of
recovering the Others"
The poor fellow gave him his last coin.
The traveller whistled; beautiful Danish
dog began to play around him.
Here" said the traveller, putting the
coin to the nose of the dog. Look"
The intelligent creature shifted u mo-
ment at the money and then began to run
the road. Every minute he returned,
leaping, and deposited in the hand of his
master a Napoleon. In about twenty
minutes the whole sum was recovered
The poor fellow, who had got his money
back, turned, full of thanks, toward the
traveller, who had now got into his car
riage.
"Ah, you are my preserver," said he;
"tell me at least your name"
81 have done nothing" said the trav
eler. "Your preserver is my dog; his
name is Rabat JOEL" and then whipping
his horses, he disappeared in the dark
ness.

A FEMALE singer, who was in high ia
vor with German prince, had to sing one
of Haydn's compositions. At the re-
hearsal she and the conductor differed as
to the time in which it should be sung.
1t WAS agreed that the composer should
be referred to; who, when the conductor
waited on him, asked if the lady was
handsome. "Very," was the reply; land
a special favorite with the duke" "Then
she is right" said Hadyn, with a signif-
cant look at the poor Disconnected pro-
fessor, who, in all probability, had he
gained his point, would have lost his
place, and this Hadyn we'll knew.

ST. PAUL speaks of his visit to the
third heaven, and Mahomet makes out
seven. The first is of silver, the second
of gold, the third of precious stones, in
which there is an angel SO large that it
is 20, 900 days. journey between his hands
the fourth heaven is of emerald, the fifth
of crystal, the sixth like fire, and the
seventh is delicious garden, with foun-
tains of milk, honey and wine, and with
apples whose kernels turn into the most
lovely females; and it is guarded by
angels, one Of vast size, with cows
head, and another with seventy mouths,
each speaking seventy languages.

the privilege of listening daily to the
conversation of intelligent people. We
sometimes see parents, who are the life If
every company which they enter, dull,
silent and embarrassing at home among
their children. If they have not mental
activity and mental stores sufficient for
both, let them first use what they have
for their own households. A silent home
is dull place for young people, place
from which they will escape il they can.
How much useful information, on the
other hand, is often given in pleasant
family conversation, and what uncon-
scious but excellent mental train
ing in lively social argument. Cultivate
to the utmost the graces of home CONVEX
sation.
