Yesterday was the ieighty-third birthday

imperial patriarch has outlived all the friends

Grafton after generation Of the men whose
first commissions in the Prussian Army were
signed by his father when he had already
risen, by long and faithful service, to generals
rank, and who, having attained the topmost
height of their professional ambitions, have
died of, one after another, full of years and
honors, while he has remained, apparently
untouched by the scythe of old Time.
Those whose privilege it is to see and speak
with him daily are never weary of expatiat-
ing upon his clearness of mind, cheerfulness
of spirits, and extraordinary capacity for en-
during physical fatigue without visible in
convenience. He rises early every morning,
is indefatigable In the transaction OF state
and military business, eats with undimn'
ished appetite, and inspects his favorite regl-

the minister asked encouragingly
"N-no," stammered the drummer Out
loud. "Confound that grill" he muttered
under his breath.
The minister began to see that he was not
getting on, and, noticing the drummer's dis
turbed manner, remarked:
something troubles you, my friend. Can

said, rising and vainly trying to guess which
door he came in at.
"Let us have season of prayer together"
said the minister; and suiting the action to
the word, he kneeled down by his chair.
Not having decided which door he came in
at, and not daring to risk meeting that "con-
founded girlp' by opening another, the
drummer had nothing better to do than to
submit to the novel experience of hearing
himself prayed for.
AS soon as the prayer was ended he again
essayed to 60, but Mr.. 9. bethought himself
of the "girl," and stepping to the dining
room door. called
"Wife, has Nettie gomez"
"Oh, yes; she did not stay. Willie went
with her, and he's been gone long enough to
get back"
AT last the minister showed the dscom-
fitted drummer the door, shook him warmly
by the hand, and hoped TO meet HIM IN
Heaven, and let him out in the fresh air
once more.
AS he passed out the gate he heard a sub
tued giggle, saw two figures dimly outlined
against the sky, and heard boys voice re-

Content IL should draw what lie III may iron

Just three years old ! and brought to church 10

Ard wonder at all the mysteries that rise be-
The noiseIess movement down the aisle; the
crowd, and the faces new;
The organ that peals out magic strains. though
hidden from the sight;
The arches, and windows OF painted glass tnat
tow'r to such height;
The eagle that bears the Bible up; the choir
In their robes OF white.
To wonder ard watch with childish awe that
That seems to catch In the tones OF earth some
echo OF the skies,
And reflects itself in the tender race, In the
solemn, v fde gray eyes,
out of whose cloudless, dewy depths glimmers
OF the awas ming love, whose dawn heralds a
fuller day,
the mists will melt away;
When the " pes shall find their aniitypes, and
the mysteries be made clear,
Though the deeper mysteries beyond will
gather yet more near,
Awaiting new and brighter dawn eer they
shall disappear.

In the praises rising to Gods high throne, In

And surely the blessing which falls on then

The Benevolent Terrier.

There is terrier in cafe, Rue st. Hon.
ore, that no sooner sees an habitual customer
enter than he runs up to the new conner
opens his mouth, ard looks imploringly at
the customer. The latter so well understands
the pantomime that he puts a sou in the
open mouth. The terrier bounds to the door,
and in an instant is at the nearest pastry
cooks. The latter gives the dog a cake,
which the latter brings to his benefactor, who
breaks the cake into three pieces. One is
given forthwith to the terrier; the dog, hav-
ing eaten it. stands on his hind legs, lets the
customer put the second piece of cake on his
(the dog's) nOse lets it stay there untouched
until the gentleman raps ten times
on the table; at the tenth rap the terrier
losses the cake in the air and catches it before
it falls to the floor.
The gentleman then takes the third piece
of cake in his hand and says: "Billy, you
have eaten two of the three pieces of cake
There are thousands of dogs in Paris who
have never tasted piece of cake. Now,
Billy, if you be gentleman-and believe
you are gentleman, Billy-you will take
this third piece of cake and lay it in the
street for dogs that are not as we'll off in this
world as you are" The terrier takes the
third piece of cake in his mouth, carries it
to the street, leaves it there, returns to the
customer, looks inquirlngly at him, as much
as to ask, "Have done the genteel thing2"
and lies down to doze until another Gus
toner enters.
