The child's kiss again had strange
effect upon the old dame; it brought
tears to the old eyes, and made her
willing to do just as pora wished.
Then the blue stuff for Dora's dress
and the ribbon to match were shown,
aud there was another shout of glee
and dance of delight, and once more
the cat was hugged and old Granny
kissed.
Never had the dame known such q
day. Never had her old heart been so
gladdened. She seemed to have be-
come a child again, young and fresh
and happy. And when night sent long
shadows upon the hearth and the child,
after saying her few words of prayer,
crept into bed, the old dame knelt
down, too, and cried:
"Oh Lord God! forgive me all my
mserly wickedness."
From that day forward, there was a
great change in the old hut and its
owner. Dirt and untidiness vanished.
Dora knitted so fast that the old dame
had to send her twice week for yarn,
and the stockings and mittens she
made were SO strong and SO warm,
that every one was glad to buy them.
More chickens were bought, and there
were SO many eggs that some had to be
sold. A carpenter came from the viii
lage aud mended the chairs and tables,
and put on new roof. At evening, q
ruddy light cleaned through bright
window-panes, and in the morning
Dora might be seen with pail on arm,
gong to milk n meek brown COW
which the dame had bought. Good
thick, rich cream was now in the cats
bowl, and she no more had to hunt
squirrels and mice. A bright-faceC
clock ticked over the fireplace, white
curtains draped the snowy bed, anC
peace and plenty abode in the old dame
home.
Dora grew tall and strong, and NOR
and more helpful. The dame sat be
side the fire in spotess cap, and di'
nothing but knit. Neighbors an'
friends came in and chatted and wer
welcome. No more the hungry begga
passed by the door, for all who say
Dora knew that pity and kindness wer
within her heart. Flowers blossome
in the doorway, and vines grew up tn
doOr-posts.
The cat grew older and older, an
purred out her happiness; never agai
had she spoken in audible words, bu
peace and plenty, ay, and gold, ha
come TO the old DANES hearth.
A strange clergyman. passing on
day, asked for a drink to quench HI
thirst. Dora brought him a brimmin
glass of sweetest milk.
Whom shall thankP" he asked, s
he glanced at her lovely face.
"Mv name is Theodora," she n
turned.
That means The gift of God, sal
the stranger, reverenCly.
Sometimes, the thought of what 81
would have lost that dreary night, ha
she refused shelter to the little sobbin
child, would come to the old dame
mind, and then she would shiver an
bend down to pat the purring puss..
Was it, then, conscience or the cat th;
had spokenp Whichever it was, I'll
dame never regretted opening her co
tage and her heart to little Theodore.

WHAT A SOUTHERN MERRY MAKING CosT.-
Az Italian image vender named Michael Ber-
nj has Just recovered damages for an assault
which, doubtless, far exceeds his rosiest
dreams of profits from his trade, and appsr-
emily he deserved them. About a year ago,
while he was perambulating Georgia, the
sheriff of Douglas county, two prominent
citizens and an ex-member of the legislature
decided "to have some fun" with him. Ac-
cordingy they broke his images rolled him
around the courthouse floor, and finally sat
down upon his PROSTATE body and began to
sing songs and tell rude stories. The result of
this little merry-making was that the Italian
lay in bed for sixteen days. The grand jury
were too much in awe of the assailants to
indct them, but they were finally brought
before United States court and compelled
to pay 81, $50 for their fun, although they
put in the manly and dignihed explanation
that they were too drunk to know what they
were doing.

La FoNTAGNE's ABSENT -AIINDEDNEss. No
one was more ''distrait' than La Fontaine /;
no one was less practical in the management
OF his affairs. Not even an important law
suit in which he was engaged could induce
him to quit his abode in the country for the
purpose-then universally adopted-ofs solicit
ing the good offices of the judges in his favor,
until he received IA letter from a friend an
nouncing that the trial was fixed for the fol-
lowing day. His correspondent at the same
time sent him horse, in order that he might
have no excuse for delay, and thus provided,
the fabulist started on his journey. BY the
time he had arrived within three or four miles
of Paris he entirely forgot the motive of his
ride, and bethought himself of paying a visit
to literary colleague residing in the vicinity,
and, being cordially welcomed by his host.
remained there all night, utterly oblivous of
his lawsuit and everything connected with it.
When he awoke next morning he suddenly
recollected the object of his expedition, and,
taking leave of his hospitable entertainer, re-
mounted his steed and reached Paris exactly
an hour after the verdict had been given
against him On being reproached by his
friend for his objectionable negligence he
merely observed that he was perfectly salts
fed 'for, he added, now that have lost
my first cause, l shall at least have no temp
tation TO begin another" Shortly after the
publication of his fables, it was intimated to
him that he ought to present copy to the
king, and, acting on the suggestion, he re-
paired to Versailles, where he was graciously
received by Louis XIV, who in the course of
conversation expressed a desire to see the
work. MA fol, Sire" stammered La Fon-

The official returns in England show that
there has been during the last few years a
steady, and, on the whole, considerable re-
ductiou in the consumption of intoxicating
liquors in that country, In 1876 the con-
sumption per head of liquors of this class
reached a money value of S22,25. In 1882
the per capita consumption was valued at
Sl7 90. In other words, in a period Of six
years, there was a reduction in the per capita
consumption of nearly 20 per cent No doubt
a part of this was due to financial causes
though these would not account wholly
for the enormous decline which these figures
represent amounting, as they do, to total
reduction in consumption of liquors to a
value of not less than $125, 900, 900. The
change seems to have been largely brought
about by moral agitation, and in the absence
of any marked attempt on the part of the
government to impose new restraints on the
selling Of liquor.

Baptist minister, and he was destined to the
same profession, having been educated with
that end in view at the academy in Ipswich,

to religion, and, having studied astrology pro-

though his name previously had been Andrew
Jaquith. He found plenty of clients or dupes,
many of whom, it is said were bankers, bro

advice for their speculations, and some of
them paid him regular weekly retainer and
visited him every day. He was consulted by
persons from all parts of the country, and al

"YoU CAN BEGIN 70 DAY"-The story
comes from Washington that few days ago,
when $1,000 employe of the Senate died,
Sergeant.at-Arms Bright received an applica-
ton for the vacancy. Col Bright read the
recommendation, and said at once Every
well, you can have the place" The applicant
was evidently astonished, and asked, when
can take hold2" "You can begin today"
said Col Bright "but first let me explain
the situation You see, when Mr. st. John
was buried, it left his $1,000 place vacant.
The next man under him, very capable man,
receiving 5000, was promoted. laborer
next below him, at S72O, stepped into the
$500 place, and man under him was then
lifted a littls-and so on through the whole
list until the place really left vacant by the
death of Mr.. St. John is a place in the stable
to curry horses at 81 a day. You can have
that, and begin work at once" The appli-
cant withdrew.
