READING FOR THE YOUNG.
PERSISTENCE.


A robin once came to our yard In quest
or something with which to build hls nest
And, looking about him. the little thing
Beheld In the pathway n tiny string.
Delighted. he hopped on the dewy grass
To capture the coveted prizo-but alasl
Tho string to u post was fastened tight,
Aud no couldn't remove i with oil his might.
Ho iintterod and struggled, aud dropped 1t,
Stopped q moment to breathe, and tried 1t
again. .I 'HIf
"This string must havew hc seemed to say,
AS he bObbed his head In a comical way.
"Perhnps TO obtain II may cost me some
But tho l9,,, bSsatful string is much nicer than
And better thnn any thing else can be
To fasten my house TO the apple tree;
And so" thus he chlrpcd, us he stood on his
toes

But had hc been given thu strength and
might
Of all tho robins on Bernor Hight,
And had they all pulled to their very utmost,
They couldn't have broken the string from
the post
And hence. in tugging away ut the string
Aud trying to do an impossible thing,
Tho robin was foolish, perhaps you will say;
i or though he had Will, he was wanting

But still he kept trying, nraln and again.

An unseen friend, who happened to be

The robin arose with his coveted prize.

Tilden and Hayes.

The burial of Mr.. Tlden ends for
ever the hope passionately shared by
many of his countrymen that the great
crime against him and free institutions
might be directly and signally con-
demned by re-electing him to the office
of which he was defrauded. That
hope is dust now. but none the less the
accomplices in that crime have been
found guilty by the opinion of man.
kind, and their sentence will not be
mitigated by history.
1t is now generally admitted by Re-
publicans that Mr.. Tilden was elected
President. Ten years have produced a
striking change in the feeling of all but
the bitterest and most wrong-headed of
his opponents. The sense OF justice of
the American people was not appealed
to in vain, and Mr.. Tilden had
the satisfaction in the last years of his
life of knowing that the party which
committed and proiited by the crime
had ceased for the most part to deny
OF palliate it. Those who remember
how eagerly and generally it was de-
Tended by the Republicans nine years
ago will understand the change.
To Mr.. Tilden this changed attitude
of the Republicans might seem like a
tardy apology for crime beyond apol.
ogy and forgiveness. But not more
striking than the respect and honor
which Mr.. Tllden's political opponent:
show for his character and his services
is the deep and general contempt into
which the miserable man has faller
who got by fraud the Office to which
Mr.. Tilden was elected. For Hayes,
even in his own party, there is nc
respect. The outcast of politics. ht
has no friends in any party, and is re
garded by all with the contempt which
his career and his qualities deserve

His Hearing Was Good.

Mr.. Tilden, in making some i'm
provements recently, had need of a
skillful engineer to lay ot'some ground
for him back of his farm. One day the
Governor drove out to see how the
work was going on. The workmen,
as they usually do at his approach,
took OIL their hats. Mr.. Tilden spoke
to Miss Gould, who asked the engineer
how the work was coming on. The
man took off his hat, walked close up
to the side of the T-cart where Mr.. Til
den was sitting, and yelled:
We're coming on all right, Guv'-
nor" and added, in low tone of voice
to himself: "Why the dickens don't
he stay in the house?"
Mr.. Tilden's eyes sparkled, and lay
ing his left hand on the mans sleeve
he motioned for him to put his ear
down to his mouth, and in a low voice
said:
"My hearing is very good"
The mans face was Il picture; white.
red, then white again. Then timidly
lifting his eyes to the Governors face,
he took off his hat and asked his par.
don. Mr.. Tilden simply smiled, and
motioned for Riley to drive on. ~ y

A NEW DODGE.
Explanation of the Latest Dodge 70
Swindling Bank Cashiers.

Explanation of the Latest Dodge for
Swindling Bank Cashiers.
We are indebted to a friend who has
been nipped for an explanation of a
trick which has been successfully em-
ployed for swindling several banks in
various Eastern cities. A check, say
for ten dollars, is obtained from de-
positor of o bank, and a blank check
exactly like the tilled-in check is secured.
The two books are laid one upon the
other, so that the edges are exactly even.
Both checks are then torn irregularly
across, and in such n way that the sig
nature on the filled check appears on
one piece and tae amount and name of
payee on the other. The checks having
been held together while being torn, of
course one piece of the bank check will
exactly fit the other piece of the filled
check. The swindler then fills in one
piece of the blank check with the
name Of the payee and an amount to
suit himself, say five thousand dollars.
takes it with piece Of the genuine
check containing the signature of the
bank. and explains that the check was
accidentally torn. The teller can put
the pieces together, and as they will fit
exactly, the chances are that he will
think that the pieces are parts Of the
same check and become a victim of the
swlndle The trick. of course suggests
its own remedy. The teller should re-
fuse to pay any check that Is mntilated

THE OLD MANS PET.
A Touching Incident Which Bears IL
Stamp of Truth.

A Touching Incident Which Bears tho
Stamp of Truth.
Two years ago, a shoemaker of Augs-
burg, in Germany, made up his mind
to come to America, where his two sons
had settled. The shoemakcr's wife had
died, and he was left alone in the world,
the only live things in the house with
hin being his pet dog and cage of
iinches. He gave his pet dog in charge
of one of his ncighbors, and as for the
tinches, he sold them, because he was
poor and needed the money to help him
over the sea. He was very sorry to
part with one of the bullfinches. \
bright bird that had been taught by the
shoemaker's dead wife to whistle soft,
low song from beginning to end with.
out so much as false note. But he
sold the bird with the others, bade good
bye to all his friends at Augsburg, and
set sail from the old world to the shin
ing shores of the new.
When he reached America he went 10
live with one of his sons IN Brooklyn.
To his surprise, he found that both of
his boys were well-to-do, and though
he had intended to open shoc-shop,
they told him that he must not do that,
but must pass the rest of his life in ease
and peace.
So, for the better part of two years,
the old shoemaker of Augsburg has
lived in Brooklyn and in spite OF tho
| fact that he has not ''stuck to his last,
he has been contented. Nevertheless.
he often thought about Augsburg, and
about his pet bullfinch, wondering
whether the finch had found an owner
in the person of some Prince, ''for that
| bird was tit to whistle before King"
said he proudly.
One day, Just previous to the past
Christmas, the old German saw gray
squirrel in cage in window of bird
store in New York, and stopped to
watch its antics. AS he stood there hc
heard the whistle of a bullfinch, and so
he stepped quickly in. In a large cage
when the shoemaker approached the
cage one of the tinches sidled along his
perch toward him and whistled softly.
The old man of Augsburg was already
bent of body, but he excitedly bent still
lower, SO that the finch could whistle in
his ear, and that the pleased bird did,
with much gleoful sweetnesss. The
shoemaker was more than delighted, he
was ove,joyed; for indeed the finch
was his old-time pet, the fine whistler
that his wife had taught in the little
shop of Augsburg.
So the shoemaker bought the finch
and took 1t home with him. He learn
ed from the dealer that the bird had
been bought of Il firm of bird dealers in
Bremen last summer, and had been
brought to America with two dozen
trained whistlcrs of Its kind. d.-United
