A Poser.

The following composition was placed
upon the blackboard at teachers institute,
and a prize of Webster's Dictionary Of
fered to any person who could read it and
pronounce every word correctly. The book
was not carried off, however, as twelve was
the lowest number of mistakes in pronuncia-
ton made: "A sacrilegious son of Belial,
who suffered from bronchitis, having ex-
hausted his finances, in order to make good
the deficit resolved to ally himself to a
comely, lenient and docile young lady of the
Malay or Caucasian race He accordingly
purchased calliope and coral necklace Of
chameleon hue, and securing suite of rooms,
at a principal hotel, he engaged the head
waiter as his coadjutor. He then despatched
a letter of the most unexceptionable callig-
raphy extant, inviting the young lady to a
matinee. She revolted at the idea, refused
to consider herself sacrifcable to his desires,
and sent polite note of refusal, on receiv-
ing which he procured a carbine and a
bowie knife, said that he would not now
forge letters hymeneal with the queen, went
to an isolated spot, severed his jugular vein,
and discharged the contents of his carbine
into his abdomen. The debris was removed
by the coroner" The mistakes in pronun-
citation were made on the following words ::
Sacrilegious, Belial, bronchitis, exhauated,
finances, deficit, comedy, lenient, docile, Ma
lay, calliope, chameleon, suite, coadj tutor,

Time Is Money.

One fine morning, when Franklin was
busy preparing his newspaper for the press,
a lounger stepped into the store and spent
an hour or more looking over the books, ETC.,
and finally, taking one in his hand, asked
the shop-boy for the price. zone dollar"
was the answer. "One dollar !" said the
lounger; "can you not take less than that?"
"No, indeed; one dollar is the price," An
other hour had nearly passed, when the
lounger said "Is Mr.. Franklin at home "
Yes, he is in the printing-ofiice. Z" | want
to see him." said the lounger. The shop
boy Immediately informed Mr.. Franklin that
a gentleman was in the store waiting to see
him. Franklin was soon behind the counter,
when the lounger addressed him thus "Mr.
Franklin, what is the lowest you can take
for that book :" "One dollar and a quar-
ter" was the ready answer. "One dollar
and quarter |" Why, your young man
asked me only dollar" "True," said
Franklin, sand | could better have afforded
to have taken dollar then than to have
been taken out OF the Office" The lounger
seemed surprised, and wishing to end the
parley of his own making, said "Come,
Mr.. Franklin, tell me what is the lowest you
can take for it 2" A dollar and a half, y
was the reply. A dollar and half

The Two Flowers.

In beautiful garden, near the banks of
the Hudson, sheltered from the hot rays of
the sun by the widespreading branches of
a maple tree, grew beautiful rose. 1t was
a large double rose with Just few tinges
of cream color in its white leaves, and 1t
seemed all beauty and sweetness. Just
little way from this stately flower there was
a bed Of lilies-of-the-valley.
odd you know there was to be a grand
party here tonight 2" said the rose
eyes, heard the gardener speak of it,"
answered the lily.
"Well," continued the rose, the lady
will want some flowers to put in her hair,
and as l am 80 beautiful ! guess she will
take me-
Just then the gardener came along and
plucked both flowers, and so further CONVEX
sation was stopped.
"Oh, what lovely rose" said the lady,
and she took it from the gardener and held
it to her face. "But IL has no perfume"
she continued; "what is it that smells 30
sweet"
81 guess it is the lilies, my lady" said the
gardener, as he handed her cluster.
"Oh yes, how very sweet they are. There,
| have scratched my finger ON that horrid
rose" she said, and flung it petulantly from
her. That night she wore the bunch of
lilies in her hair, and the proud rose was
left to wither in the garden. Thus it il
that modesty and sweetness are ever re.
warded.

A Beautiful Story.

A young man who had been on a three
days debauch wandered into the reading
room of hotel where he was well known,
sat down, and stared modify into the street.
Presently little girl of about ten years
came in and looked timidly about the room.
She was dressed in rags, but she had sweet,
intelligent face, that could scarcely fail to
excite sympathy. There were five persons
in the room and she went TO each begging.
One gentleman gave her five-cent piece,
and she went to the gentleman spoken of,
and asked him for a penny, adding, al
haven't had anything to eat for whole day."
The gentleman was out of humor, and he
said Grossly "Don't bother mel | have not
had anything to eat in three days" The
child opened her eyes in shy wonder, and
stared at him for moment, and then walked
slowly towards the door. She turned the
knob, and then, after hesitating few sec
onds, walked up to him, and gently laying
the five cents on his knee, said with tone
Of true girlish pity in her voice, "If you
haven't had anything to eat for three days,
you take this and 60 and buy you some
bread. Perhaps can get more somewhere"
The young man blushed to the roots of his
hair, and, lifting the little girl in his arms,
kissed her two or three times in delight.
Then he took her to the persons in the room,
and those in the corridors and office, and
told the story and asked contributions, Civ.
ing himself all the money he had with him.
He succeeded in raising over $40, and sent
the little one on her way rejoicing. --Selected
