The box to which the mintmaster

The servants tugged with might and
main, but could not lift this enormous
receptacle. and were finally obliged to
drag it across the floor.
Captain Hull then took a key out of
his girdle. unlocked the chest and lifted
the pOnderOuS lid. Behold ! it was full
to the brim with bright pine tree shil-

Sewen began to think that his father-in-

THE CHILD.DTKE.

Holland is a beautiful country. full Of
green fields, with cattle and sheep graz
ing III the pastures; but there are few
trees and no hills to be seen. The
ground is 50 fiat and low. that two or
three times the sea has rushed in over
parts of it, and destroyed whole towns.
IN one of these floods. that occurred
about two hundred years ago, more than
twenty thousand OF the people were
drowned. and in some of the towns that
were flooded by that calamity not 2
creature was left alive.
Y large part of the water that came in
at the time of the food stiu remains
1t is called the Mas. and in one part
of it there is a little green isIand-a part
OF an old dyke, or a dam-Which is call
ed the "kinder-dyke, " or child-dykc
and il got Its name in this way:
The waters rushed over one of the lit
tie Ericsiand villages. and no one had
any warning. In one of the houses
there lay "A child sound asleep in its era
dle-an old fashioned cradle made tight
and strong. Of good stout wood.
BY the side of the cradle lay the old
cat, baby's friend. probably purriug
away as comfortably rs possible when

through all the turmoil asquieIy as ever.
The people were al drowned in their
beds. and the house was torn from its
foundation. and broken into pieces. but
the little cradle hOated ont into the an
CRY sea on that dark night bearing with
in it its precious burden.
When the morning came there was
nothing to be seen OF the village or the
green meadows. Al was water. Hun
dreds OF people were out in their boats
trying to save as many lives as possible {;
and on this little bit of an island that l
have spoken of. what do YOU think they

the baby fast asleep in it. and the old
cat curled up at her feet. all safe and

and to whom they belonged. no one
could tell. But i'll memory of them tEiS
little island was called the kinder

this name to this day; and this story is
told to thousands OF the little people ali
over Holland. as remarkable instance
of Gods Providence.

HISTORICAL MESSAGES.-A curious
list might be made of the strange meth
ods employed in transmitting many i'm
pOrtant historical messages. The intel
ligencc which enabled CYRUS to over
throw the Median monarchy was in the
body of hare sent to him as a present.
The inStigatOr Of the Ionian revolt
against Persia sent his agent a truSty
slave, with verbal orders to shave his
head when the necessary instructions
appeared traced on the skin beneath.
During MahOmmed'S wars. letters Of
this kind were frequently plated in the
long hair of female slaves The medic
val fashion of writing in ink which only
became visible when held to the fire is
well known: but Cardinal Richelieu
surpassed even this by his device of a
despatch whose alternate lines made an
entirely different sense from that of the
letter as a whole. One of the French
chiefs of the FrOnde war concealed an
important letter in roasted crab. War
ren Hastings. when blockaded in Ben
ares. by Cheyte Singh. appraised the
English army of his situation by dis
patches written upon rolled up slips of
parchment. which his messengers carried
in their ears. instead of the quilts usually
worn there. The letter which recalled
General Kaufman to the relief of Samar-
cand. when beSieged 10y the BOkhaTiOteS
in June. 1865. was stitched up in the
sandal of a loyal native. 1t is even
