IA dumb amazement, rose from his seat

IN dumb amazement, rose from his seat
hastily and decisively.
Haiti" he cried, while his voice fairly
trembled. "Such sacrifices are not de-
manded!' And then, with the eyes Of
all wondering Frenchmen fixed upon kim,
he went around to the other side Of the
table and seized the list. ssPelissard the
elder!' He called out the first name
"Seventy-ive francs''
The old Pelissard came, pale as death
and shaking in every limb, to the table.
: aster, : he cried, raising his trembling
hands, shave pity upon me and my poor
village2"
"No," said the lieutenant, wiping the
perspiration from his forehead, emo, no, .
and he motioned to him with his hand,
mot pay, take seventy five francs out of
the hundred you have given here
A cry Of joyous surprise sounded on
all sides.
''Take five hundred francs, sir, con-
tinued Wendt, turning to the bailitf,
shave your wagon ready and follow me
to Ions lie Snier You shall receive the
acquittal; Fl ON my Commanders own hand.
The rest of the money distribe as belongs
them to the villagers Then he took up
the picture and fatened it himself on its
chain for the blushing Magdelon. He
drew out his purse, seized her hand and
in it its contents If hard metal thalers.
For Madame Vivier," said he, in a low
tone.

A Contest Of Ugliness.

George II. had master of the reyels
named Heldegger who was egregiously
ugly. 1t amounted to distinction. So
much SO that two young gentlemen were
found prepared to advance the PROPOSE
ton that Heidegger was the ugliest hui
man being in England. The ager was
offered and taken, London was ransacked
Tor native deformity, and some very re-
markable specimens Of uncouthness and
mlsproportion were discovered. At last.
in st Giles one old woman was detected
whose unsightliness seemed to surpass
anything that could have been believed.
She and Heidegger were brought face to
face, and the latter, who was proud of his

Price of Early Vegetables.

A man with basket on his arm
pushed his way, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer, to fruit stand and asked:
Chow do you sell cucumbers?''
The dealer informed him.
"Why man alive, do you suppose
want whole one?n
II don't know what you want, but
that's the price of cucumbers," replied
the dealer.
"You don't want 1t all down. do you?n
II do, for a fact;
"Suppose l give you one-third cash,
balance in yearly payments?''
The dealer shook his head,
ell pay you big interest," persisted
the man with the basket.
Another shake of the head.
"Give you the best of security urged
the customer; first mortgage on unen-
numbered real estate.''
The dealer would only shake his head.
"Well, then, how do you sell straw
berries?'
The reporter did not hear the price,
but the man with the basket tainted
dead away.

Dog.
Boston Transcript.

~. I lt /. =. al g
A sober-faced man, dressed in a modest
suit of black, called in at the town clerk IS,
and, politely dofing his castor, inquired :
"This is where licenses for dogs are pro-
cured, believe, sir2''
He was informed that such was the fact.
He went on:
II have a'dog that has been in the fam
lily great many years, and we are all
naturally much attached to it -
"It will cost you 49," broke in the gen
tlelnanly Clerk, s'if a male"
"Butit is not a male dog, at least y
"Well, then, it'll cost you an even w
Scribbiing few minutes There is your
license, sir; you can fill in the critters
name''
Taking the paper and examining it
carefully, the man in black said, perplex-
ingly:
''There is some mistake here. The dog
is not female y
"What2" broke in the other, mot a
malice not female?"
Said the man in black again:
" Anticipating some understanding
! have brought the dog with me, y produc-
ing ar old fashioned fire-dog, ssand you
can tell me whether or not a license is
necessary"
There was just the merest glimmer of a
twinkle in the eye Of the sober-faced man
as he said this. No license was needed,
he was told, and he departed. The gen
tlemanly clerk waited till his visitor had
got to the landing below before he brought
his fist down on his desk like a trip-ham-
mer, with the very expressive accompan-
iment Of 'sold, by thunder!"

ALONE AMID THE RYE.

Amid the golden stocks of rye,
In dreamy peace, content / lie,
STEPPED in the life-warm summer sun,
The equal heir of earth and sky.
The languid breeze that stirs the grain,
(Now gold now bronze, now gold again,)
Ripples the current Of my blood,
And stirs quick fancies in my brain.
Sweet summer-scented wind-caress!
This tender touch, this gentle stress
More deeply move than hands that cling
And passion-fevered lips that press!
NY soul, doubt-strung, with questiOnings torn
In shadowy conflicts wounded worn,
Leaves drea quest, and longs to share
The golden sense of Life newborn,
The seeds within the furrow strewn,
From blade to ear, from ear TO corn,
One life evolves, distinct and clear,
Through perfect sequence perfect grown.
But human hearts that burn, aspire,
The fruitage miss Of strong desire
All paths we try, yet wander wild,
Forever climbing, never higher!
o Heart! be still at Natures feet,
q prsOned wings that ceaseless beat,
Stir me no more with tender pain,
But leave me to her influence sweet
Touched with thy fire, celestial Sun,
My tinglinS pulses swifter run;
bask and glow, with ardor filed
And dream once more the contest won.

Searching for strawberries ready to eat;
Finding them crimson and large and sweet,
What do you think / found at my feet
Deep in the green hillside?
Four brown sparrows, the cunning things,
feathered on back and breast and wings,
Proud with the dignity plumage brings,
Opening their our mouths wide.
STOPPING lower to scan my prize,
Watching the motions with curious eyes;
Dropping my berries in glad surprise,
plaintive sound heard.
And looking up at the mournful call,
l spled on branch near the old stone-wa
trembling and twittering, ready to fall,
The poor little mother bird.
With grief and terror her heart was wrung.
And while to the slender bough she chung.
she felt that the lives her birdlings hung
On still more slender thread.
All, birdie! I said, if you only knew
MY heart was tender and warm and true!
fut the thought that Iloved her birdlngs, too
Never entered her small brown head.
And SO through this world of ours we 90,
bearing our burdens Of needless woe,
Many heart beating heavy and slow
Under its load of care.
But Q, If we only, only knew
!nat 900 was tender, and warm and true,
And that he loved us through and through,
Our hearts would be lighter than air.
