Charity.
From the London Telegraph.

Night kissed the young rose, and
it bent softly to sleep. Stars shone,
and pure dew-drops hung upon its
bosom, and watched its sweet slum-
bers. Morning came with its dane
ing breezes, and they whispered to
the young rose, and it swung TO joy.
Gus and smiling torres. Lightly it
swung, to and fro in all the lowell
ness OF health and youthful innocence.
Then came the ardent sun-god, sweep.
ing from the east, and smote the
young rose, with its scorching rays,
and it tainted. Deserted and almost
heart broken, it dropped to the dust
in its loveliness and despair. Now
the gentle breeze, which had been
gamboling over the sea, pushing on
the home. bound bark, sweeping over
hill and dale, by the neat cottage and
still brook, turning the old mill, fan
ming the brow of disease, and trisk.
ing the curls of innocent childhood
came tripping along on her errand
of mercy and love. And when she
saw the young rose she fastened tc
kiss it, and fondly bathed its head ii
cool, refreshing showers, and the
young rose revived, and smiled il
gratitude to the kind breeze. But
she hurried away, for She soon per
ceived that delicate fragrance haG
been poured upon her wings by the
grateful rose; and the breeze was gla6
in heart, and went away singing
through the trees. Thus charity
| like the breeze, gathers fragrance from
the flowers it retreshes, and uncon
ciously reaps a reward in the per
torrance OF its offers of kindness
which steals on the heart like ricl
perfume, to bless and to cheer

She has way OF listening which
makes the most-reserved man elo-
quent, and her little speeches, never
addacious and rarely brilliant, have
vet something tenacious about them,
and clings to his memory when he
sits over his fire by night or goes
about his daily work. Then her face,
her distinct and vivid personality,
pursues him; it is the girl herself,
not her bangles or her fiounces that
he remembers. 1t seem natural to
him that he is thus taken possession
Of and held captive. No matter how
cold he may have been heretofore, he
now becomes ardent warm-hearted
rash. He may have admired pretty
girl with her furbelows and fiounces
and her nice perception OF the most
becoming; he may have been little
heavy hearted over the sumptous
beauty of the belle, and have enjoyed
the society of the clever girl who
saved him the trouble of doing all
the talking, being able to do it her
self so much more brilliantly. But
this hankering after private felicity,
this fervid belief in attainable happi-
ness, this large faith in the future
which marriage may assure to him,
only followed his acquaintance with
the dangerous girl" who upset his
boosted ideas OF independent enjoy
ment, overturned all his preconceived
notions of bachelorhood and set him
longing TO be engaged. Until he
saw her he said with "Benedick,"
"One woman is fair, yet am well !;
another is wise, yet l am we'll; an
other virtuous, yet / am we'll; but
till all graces come into one woman,
one woman shall not come into my
grace" ..|

The Dell in a Poke.
From q Scotch Paper.

From Scotch Paper
Up in the east end OF Carluke par.
ish lived well.to.do farmer he was
famed far and near for the breed of
his pigs, and he promised neighbor
farmer present of one for breed.
Through the course of time he had
splendid litter. According TO prom
Use he despatched his servant man,
Rab, off with one to his friend. It
being a. warm sultry day iii, the
month of July, when Rah got the
length of Kilcagie, he thought his
thrappel would crack with drouth, SO
in he went to the "Wee Bush" for a
pint of yill, and a blow of the pipe, to
ease his shakes a wee. 1t being the
Monday after Kilcagie pay, some Of
the miners were taking dram. One
of them had retriever pup along
with him, so they thought they would
play a trick on Rab. They took out
the pig, and put the pup in the poke
unobserved to Rab. In little while
Rab shouldered the poke, and took
the road with his charge. When
Rab landed at the farm house he
boldly raped at the front door to
speir if the master was in. The mas
| ter, seeing Rab coming past the win.

"Come AVA; I'm glad tae see We !;
what's this you have got in the poke,
Rab? ?"
"This is the pig my master aye
promised yea real pure Berkshire
breed"
"Let me Sect" quo the farmer.
"I'll dae that" quo Rab.
So Rab opened the mouth of the
poke, and out pops the retriever pup.
Whenever the farmer saw the pup he
flew into great passion saying
"Rab, / think your master wants
tae make fool of both you and me"
ut looks unco like it," quo Rab.
"Just take it hame WI ye again,
and tell him I've plenty of that breed
at hame."
II will dae that ye may depend

Rab had no other alternative but
to trace his steps homeward wonder
ing what in all the world this could
mean. When Rab got back the
length of the "Wee Bush" he was as
dry as ever, SO in he went for another
pint, but he never mentioned what
had taken place. The miners soon
exchanged Rab's living freight-took
out the pup and put back the pig. In
little Rab took the road for home.
When he arrived he met his master
in the close.
"What is this you have brought in
exchange for the pig ?" 60 ~
"Weel," quo Rab, 81 can hardly
tell ye; when / left hame / had pig
in poke when i got to the far end
it was a pup in poke; what it is
moo guild only knows, but we will
soon see." 80 Ga4 fslu yl3f aa4 ~

At about twelve o'clock he entered

was afraid to get up again to ring

The Dangerous Girl.
From Lippincott's Magazine.

CIOAA Alppucottb magazine.
But now at last we come to the
real dangerous girl"-the girl who
seems by some fine fitness to walk
into the empty room in mans heart
which has never been entered by any
other woman and take up her abode
there, "She is just as high as my
heart" "Orlando" says of aRosalind,"
and there can be no more accurate
, for lovers delight in
his sweetheart. She fits him she
suits him. She may not be pretty,
she need not be clever; she may
be both of these things in a remark
able degree, and a bali room belle
besides, and cheat d'euvre Of MILL
ner's art in the bargain. But she
has a gift over and beyond all these
which renders all others subordinate.
