Rejecting a Milk-Bov,

A young lady in England once had
the chance of becoming Lady Chantry
and the wife of one of Britain's most
eminent sculptors. Her name was
Byng, and her father was Sheffield
pawnbroker. Frank Chantry's fatser
was small dairy-farmer, and his son
peddled out milk every morning. Among
his customers was the well-to-do pawn
broker. Pretty Jane, his daughter,
used to take in the milk, and sundry
chats at the kitchen door led to their
mutual love. If Frank had to wait out
side, he would amuse himself by scratch
ing faces and figures on the doorposts
with his knife. When the young lady
came, she would admire them, and this
was reward enough for Frank. But
neither saw in them prophecy of the
boys future.
One day, q paul Pryn of neighbor,
who had been spying the lovers, told the
pawnbroker that his daughter was too
fond of the Young milkn1an. The purse
proud knight of the three balls was in
dignant that poor milk-boy should
dare to hope for the hand of a well-to-do
man daughter. He forbade Jane ever
to see him again, or even to think of
such lover, and changed his milkman.
Pretty Jane obeyed her father, and
Frank, setting down his mIkpails, took
up with bits of clay and chisel and
hammer. When he became Sir Francis
Chantry, the honored sculptor. the pawn
broker saw his mistake.

An Iowa Romance,

A brother and sister have met after a
separation of twenty years, and the
meeting has been brought about in
Davenport by little son OF the sister in
most peculiar way. One week ago
yesterday the raft steamer Clyde went
into Davenport on her way North, and
Capt. Douglass tied up his boat for a
while in order to permit some OF the
crew to go ashore and made some pur-
ohases. Among others who went ashore
was Aaron Garter, raftsrnan. The
weather was very cold, with a keen
northwest wind. While going along
the street Carter met poorly clad little
boy, who was running along, crying
bitterly. Carter asked him what was
the matter, and the little lad sobbed out:
I'm cold" "Come with me-" said Car
ter; and, taking the boy to clothing
store, he bought him suit of warm
clothes and pair of mittens. He then
asked the boy his name. aaron Dun
lap" was the reply. Carter was thun-
derstruck. ''Aaron Dunlap he cried.
'tWhere are your father and mother?"
!.Fatheris dead, the boy replied. s'WeIl,
take me to your mother, then, as quick
as you cam, said Carter. The boy took
him to his humble home and when Car
ter entered the house the boys mother
rushed into his arms with a shrek that
made all the other occupants of the tene-
ment house rush into the house to see
what was the matter Garter had found
a sister whom he had not seen since the
year 1862, when he 1ventto the war with

apparently, when it was thought inn
possible for girfsor woman to earn her
own livelihood, but that has happily
passed away, and it is no longer deemed
inevitable that to be the female sex in
wolves dependence upon others Women
are engaged in public offices, and / be-
1ieve it viii be the opinion of all fair
minded men that they do their work
well, and that it would be desirable to
enlarge the field which is at present OPP
en- to them. There are many fathers of
families who do not see their way clear
to making an adequate provision for all
their children. and they would rather
place them in the path to earn little
money honorably for themselves than
have them utterly dependent upon 9TH
ers. IF they do not in after life need
the means of support thus afforded to
them, so much the better, but no harm
is done by placing it at their command.
In this country it is quite certain that all
women cannot get married, for they
largely outnumber the men, and hence
it is that employment is anxiously sought
for.-L. j. Jennings IN Neao York World.

Two Bows That Wero Hungry.

One of the most cunning and polite
little fellows in the State of New Jersey
spent the day at a kind neighbours house
recently, while his mamma was away
on visit. His lunch hour at home
was II, and at the usual time he began
to feel hungry. But the family did not
lunch till noon, and, as there were no
signs of preparation, Harry Eve will
call him) was filled with the gravest APP
prehensions. Good manners forbade
that he should ask for anything, and yet
he couldn't wait another minute, How
CONSIDERABLY he did it viii appear.
Mrs. Thompson said he, yeryearn-
estly, but very tenderly, IF you please
will you be so very kinds to give
me something to eat? / mean if it isn't
too much trouble"
why, certainly, my DEAR she re-
piled. N-hat would you ike to have?"
''Oh, anything will do ma'am- any
thing" he responded, with nervous
eaoerness, IF, it isn't too expensive"
1t is needless to say that he got it i'm
mediately.
A very different kind of boy was
Johnny D., who was visiting neigh
Dor, bus not in New Jersey. He was
offered q piece of bread and butter,
which he accepted, but not with any
great degree of enthusiasm.

to his studio in Paris to meet Mr.. Muy-

ed by means of a series of instantaneous
photographs in picturing animals in

inestimable value to the great French
painter in his work, and it has stimulat-
ed foreign photographers to attempt
equally as remarkable feats. M. Heickel

One Human Life.

1t is told of the Roman Emperor Au-
gustus that he was once at banquet
given by one of his chief mobiles, when
a slave waiting on the table dropped
and broke a costly crystal vase. The
uncomfortable terror of the man, and of
his fellow-slaves as well, seemed so
much greater than the occasion required,
that the Emperor inquired into the
cause. And then came out the fact that
the master, prototype of Mrs. Stoves
Legree, had given a standing order that
any slave who should commit this of
fence, even by accident, should be cut
to pieces and thrown to the fishes in the
pond. The Emperor rose from the
table, and having shivered with a staff
every vase in the dining hall, said to
their owner: BE it known to you,
monster, that one human life is worth
ten thousand vases

The Man Who Took His Stand on the Bible

The snow-storm had driven The de-

sequence of which the grocer prayed
that the showing might cease.
They were discussing Ingersoll and
his peculiar views regarding the Bible.
The proprietor had just replenished
the fire with another scuttle of soft coal,
and in doing so he gave vent to his feel
ings by making more noise than was
necessary.
But the fat man who was whiting
the soap-box was bound to be heard.
He didn't propose to be muzzled.
