read of personalities that carry dis

rear, if, when u rend was found in
our garment, that the one whose
duty it was to repair il, should cause
all fingers to be hooked into 1t aud
rent it to pieces? Would it not be
disaourtesy toward us? Let MS al
ways be ready to throw mantle of
pity around those who are more un-
fortunate than ourselves, for we
know not how near the hidcous

pledged ourselves to elevate them to

ring was lost. twas advertised and

A few weeks ago child of black,

A Beautiful story.

Coleridge relates a story to this
effect: Alexander, during his march
into Africa, came to people dwell
ing in peaceful huts, who knew nei'
Their war nor conquest. Gold being
offered him, he refused it, saying that
his sole object was to learn the man
ners and customs Of the inhabitants.
During this interview with the
African chief, two Of his subjects
brought case before him for judg-
ment. The dispute was this: The
one had bought piece of ground
which, after the purchase, was found
to contain treasure, for which he
felt himself bound to pay; the other
refused to receive anything, stating
that he had sold the ground with
what it might be found to contain,
apparent or concealed.
Said the chief, looking at the one.
"You have son." and to the other.
"You have daughter; let them be
married and the treasure given them
as dowry."
Alexander was astonished.
aAnd what said the chief, would
have been the decision in your coun-
try2o
"We should have dismissed the
parties and seized the treasure for
the kings use"
"And does the sun shine in your
country" said the chief; "does the
rain fall there2 Are there any cat.
tie there which feed upon the herbs
and green grass?"
Certainly" said Alexander.
"Ah!" said the chief, "it is for the
sake of those innocent cattle that the
Great Being permits the sun to shine,
the rain to fall and the grass to grow
in your country"

THE WEDDING FEE.

One morning, fifty years ago,
When apple-trees were white with snow
OF fragrant blossoms, and the air
Was spell.bound with the perfume rare,
Upon farm horse, large and lean,
And lazy with It's double load,
A sun.browned youth and maid were seen
Jogging along the winding road.
Blue were the arches Of the skies,
But bluer were that maiden's eyes.
The dew-drops on the grass were bright,
But brighter was the loving light
That sparkled meath the long. fringed lid,
Where those bright eyes Of blue we're hid.
Adown the shoulders brown and bare
Rolled the soft waves Of golden hair,
Where, almost rangled with the spray,
The sun, a willing sufferer, lay.
II was the iairest sight, ween,
That the young man had ever seen;
And with his features all aglow,
The happy fellow told her sol
And she without the least surprise
Looked on him with those heavenly eyes,
Saw underneath that shade Of tan
The handsome features OF man;
And with Joy but rarely known
She drew that dear face to her own,
And by her bridal bonnet hid
! cannot tell you what she did!
So on they rode until, among
The newborn leaves with dew drops hung,
The parsonage, arrayed in white,
Peers out-a more than welcome sight.
Then, with cloud upon his face,
"What shall we do" he turned to say,
"Should he refuse to take his pay --l--
From what is in the pillow-case?"
And glancing down his eye surveyed
The pillow. case before him laid,
Whose contents reaching to its hem,
Might purchase endless joy for them.
The maiden answers, "Let us wait,
To borrow trouble where's the neecd?"
Then at the parsons squeaking gate
Halted the more than willing steed.
Down from the horse the bridegroom
sprung,
The latchless gate behind him swung;
The knocker OF that startled door,
Struck as it never was before,
Brought the whole household pale with
fright;
And there with blushes on his cheek,
So bashful he could hardly speak,
The farmer met their wondering sight.
The groom goes in, his errand tells,
And, as the parson mods, he leans
Far DER the window sill and yeIls,
"Come in! lie says he'll take the beans!
Lord! How she jumped With one glac
bound,
She and the bean.bag reached the ground
Then, clasping with each dimpled arm
The precious product Of the farm,
She bears it through the open door;
And down upon the parlor floor,
Dumps the best beans vines ever bore.
All! happy were their songs that day
When man and wife they rode away;
But happier this chorus still
Which echoed through those woodlan,
scenes:
"God bless the priest Of Whitinsville!
God bless the man who took the beans.
