to ride in ji1arikishas "a two-wheeled
carriage drawn by man), wear lift
ting and uncomfortable foreign clothes,
unsightly hats, and get attacks of dys-
pepsia from badly.cooked foreign food
composed of materials too strong for
their weak stomachs and affect to des-
pise what their forefathers were proud
of. Those were the days when the
Tonosawa was open-handed to the poor,
ready with his sword for the insolent.
Our good old man went to the wicked
old mans house, and begged for at
least the ashes of his property, only to
receive a portion-the rest being re-
tained on suspicion that there must be
some urgent reason for coming so far
for apparently such trivial thing. The
good old man took. the ashes, and,
mounting a cherry tree on the high
road, awaited the approach of the great
man who was expected to pass that way.
When he drew near he asked the old
man what he was doing in the tree, and
why he did not prostrate himself before
him; to which the old man replied by
saying that he would show him the tree
ONAoUAa6 4AtO O4O0oOAA0 OO4O4O LID OyOo
by sprinkling upon it pinch of ashes.
Stopping his retinue. he ordered the
old man to try his skill; ard the trial
was attended with success. to tho aston
ishment and delight of the noble, who
ordered the old man to be suitably re-
warded, and to be brought on visit to
his palace.
The bad old man, hearing of this, de-
termined, with the remainder of the
ashes, to try his skill on the occasion
of another great lord passing; but the
ashes few in the faces Of the noble and
retainers, who, in their rage, beat the
foolish old man severely tied him, and
put him in the lookup.
The good old mans story becoming
public, the wicked man was turned out
of the village, and afterward died on the
wayside. The good old man lived
happily many years after.

Domestic Thunder Storms.

Not many lovers, I suppose, have
found that their welded life answered
quite to the dreams of their courtship-
not quite, mine didn't. Yet who would
enter complaint against heaven be-
cause May does not quite match with
October? If my experience can be of
any use, I think thunder storm, so it
was not to do mischief, may sometimes
clear the atmosphere under the roof
about as we'll as it does outside. And
so sure I am of it's blessing that when L
hear people say they have lived together
fve-and-twenty years and never had the
least difference, I wonder if they have
not he'd great deal of indifference.
It is the lesson we have to learn, too,
through our saddest and most painful
bereavements. Collyer.

Failures from OVERRIDING.

The story is current in the neighbor-
hood of Concord that Emerson, and
Hawthorne, and Alcott, and Thoreau,
and others, once formed social club
for evening conversations. It was
naturally expected that the interviews
of these literary giants would be occa-
sions of rare enjoyment. But the club
proved wretched failure, and survived
only two meetings. The great men
couldn't unbend for easy and familiar
talk, and opened their lips only for Or
acular utterances.
John Stuart Mill tells of similar fail
ure in debating club in London. It
was composed of the smost brilliant
young men in the city, Macaulay, Thrill
wall Cthe historian), Wilberforce, after
ward Bishop of Oxford, the brothers
Bulwer, the three brothers Villiers:
Charles Thomson, and others who af-
terward won erlinence in Parliament
Great expectations were excited, and
the first meeting was crowded, large
number of men in public life coming to
hear the young orators.
A noted Oxford speaker opened the
discussion. He attempted SO high a
fight that he failed utterly, and sat
down with extreme chagrin. Others
followed with similar aims, only to fail
in the same way. Not single speaker
was successful. The audience went
away disgusted, and the young men
were SO mortified that second meeting
was never attempted.
Had they been content to speak in
natural way they might have formed
a very successful society. They were
overburdened with the weight of their
reputation and the expectation of the
public.
The Northern Pacific farmer., 1879-11-13
Detecting Crime.

A woman applied to a priest to re-
cover certain article which had been
stolen from her. The priest, suspecting
that the thief was member of his con-
gregation, adopted an original method
to detect him.
After mass, he mentioned the theft,
and his suspicion that the thief was
then present. If SO, he intended to
find him out.
"Down on your knees, all of you,"
he said. The congregation knelt. II
shall throw this book" he continued,
"and it will hit the thief"
He made the motion, and one man
only dJcked his head. "Come here,
siri You are the thief" and he was.
An English magistrate in India once
detected y thief by method similar in
spirit, though not in form, to the
priests. ).
He missed large silver bracelet
which be had left over night on his
table. He suspected one OF his SER
wants, but said nothing about the loss,
except to his valet. In his presence he.
placed on the table two marked rupees,
powdered with nitrate of silver. The
next morning the money had disap-
peared.
He ordered the drum to be beaten tc
summon all the servants. After they
had been placed in line, he talked te
them about the theft, and how wrong i
was for a servant to rob his master
Not face gave sign of guilt.
Then he told them what he had done
and that the thief would have caustiI
mark on his hand. Instantly one mar
looked at his hand. He saw the nlarl
turned and fed.
His fellow-servants pursued an
caught him. he made confession /
his guilt, and restored both money an
bracelet. Then he was drummed q
the premises. 49,.

DUB LITTLE FOLKS.
Edna'S Mish2D.

Edna's Mishap.
Kate, Harry and Edna had gone out to play,
In tho great roomy barn, 'nong the sweet-scenteo
hay;
While, now and then pausing the baby to tend.
Mamma was hard trying their wee clothes to mend.
With little patch here and little patch there,
And sigh and q smile for each hole and each tear
And with almost wish, as she saw the old len
Strutting proudly about with her speckled chicks
That her little chickens in feathers were clad,
When she heard q wild scream. as of some one gone
And Harry and Kitty exclaimed in ono breath,
"A tramp has shot Edna and killed her to deathi"
Mamma to the barn in wild agony few,
But what do you think met her wondering view?
In the manger sat Edna-and Edna alone
While the fasttrckling tears on her rosy checks
shone,
By egg-shelis surrounded on every side
A comical object, it can't be denied!
You see, In her fall from the attic o'erhead,
She came with crash $50 quickly she sped)
On the nest that old Specke had left in the night
When all the wee Speckles had first seen tho light,
And the noise was so much like the sound of gun,
To the house the two children in terror had run.
Mammals kind assurance allayed Edna's fears,
And her dear loving kisses soon scattered the tears
And clean clothing throughout gave her reason to
hope
That she'd soon have her sweet little Edna again,
In spite of the wiles of that saucy old hen.

Beautiful Little Allegory.

A humming-bird met a butterfly,
and, being pleased with the beauty of
its person and the glory of it's wings,
made an offer of perpetual friendship.
II cannot think of it," was the reply,
cas- you once spurned me and called me
a drawling dolt.''
"Impossible!" exclaimed the hum
ming-bird. II always entertained the
highest respect for such beautiful Great
ures as you"
"Perhaps you do now," said the other,
but when you insulted me was cater

advice; never insult the humble, as
they may some day become your su-
