Of them, tell them to beg mercy for
us, and the foodless town OF Naum-
burg"
That quiet summer afternoon the
gates OF Naumburg swung open, and
long procession OF little boys and
girls issued forth, and wended their
way through the astonished Hussites
to the gay pavilion Of Procopius. We
fancy we can see them now, and an old
German picture We have seen helps our
fancy. This odd picture represents the
old pedagogue following behind with
bundle OF books under one arm, and
a brisk switch in the other hand, with
which latter implement he was re-
freshing the memories OF some of the
little boys in the rear by a wise ap-
plication in the usual way.
When Procope saw them coming he
seemed mighty pleased, and with
large eyes and putting lips he waddled
out to meet them The little girls
seized him around his funny legs, and
hugged him tight, and the little boys
began to say:
20, good Procope. we've come to
you TO protect u.s."
What could Procopius do? He
tried to be hard. but it was impossi-
ble. So he sat down under a big
cherry-tIee near by, and the boys and
girls in a few minutes were running
all over him like goats over q noun.
tain. His heart was besieged, and u
breach was soon made in its weakest
place.
He put his hand on one little boys
hair and kissed another little girl,
who looked so pretty and innocent
that he could not help it. Aud his
great arms clasped a half a dozen
children at once, and his heart grew
warm and mellow, and he found that
he could resist no longer. So the
clever fat general suddenly cried out:
Its no use. can't see the chill
dren suffer, you know. / guess 1
shall have to surrender"
Then ne ordered the Hussites to
bring him baskets Of cherries, and he
aud the children had cherry feast,
and great was the happiness on the
banks OF the Saale, near the foodless
town OF Naumburg.
The children returned to the city
at night, and each one hugeed and
kissed Proc )pius as they parted. and
said in low, sweet voice:
Spare, for our sakes, the town of
Naumburg."
The moon hung over the Saale in
dipped Denfnd rhe far mountains.
The sun rose fair, and the watchmen
looked down from the grim walls Of
Naumburg on the long valley: but
Procopius and the Hussites were
gone, and a happier day never was
seen in the town.
For four hundred years the Saxons
have loved to recall this delightful
event OF history, and have celebrated
it by the "Kinderfest," or "Children's
Fete.' or. as it is often called. "The
Cherry Feast OF Naumburg." This
festival corresponds to our Fourth OF
July, and occurs on the 2Sth OF July.
and right glad day it is to the chill
dren Of Saxony. And. would you see
how long the happy influence OF q
single good deed may last? why
then, when you go to Germany, drop
down to the Saale In the summer
time, and eat some cherries with the
children at the Children's Fete, in
honor of tho funniest general in al
the world.-St. Nicholas.

Speaking OF financiers. probably :
Joseph was one OF the greatest that
ever lived. We refer to him who
wore coat or many colors. was cast
into pit, and afterwards went to /.
Egypt and grew up with the country.
Joseph was a born financier, though
the truth OF history compels us to say
that he was hard, exacting man.
True, he dealt very generously with
his brethren when they came down to
WITH corn anu rcrusruy 90 ruxvu uey-
pay. But it was a rough joke he
played on them. putting their money
back in their sacks and a silver cup
In Benjamin's to furnish prefext for
arresting them all and bringing them
back. Surely better way could have
been found to accomplish his end
than this. But IL Joseph was not
very great as diplomatist he was
immense as q financier. The manner
Ia which he took advantage OF the
famine, and the necessities of the
Egyptians to get possession first OF
their money. next of their cattle. then
Of their lands, and finally OF them
selves, making them serfs of Pharaoh.
was wonderful 1t was perhaps. the
greatest piece OF 8nanciering record

formed on wheat resulted In giving

aud, as the Egyptians had TO hayo
grain or starve. they were at his
mercy. The results were as above
stated. There Is this, however, 10
be said for Joseph: he was operating
for Pharaoh, and not for himself. He
accounted to Pharaoh for the profits

hard and unrelenting, he was also
honest. A Chicago broker would
probably have represented 10 Pharaoh
that the price Of wheat was rising.
and that II be wanted to hold the COR

margin. Joseph did nothing OF the
. kind. His honesty was only equaled
: by his success. The record says
Joseph gathered up all the money
that was found in the land OF Egypt.
and in the land OF Canaan, for the
corn which they bought; and Joseph
brought the money into Pharaoh's
house. And when money failed in
