A traveller once put up for the night
with a supplemented old couple i'll a
lonely farmhouse. AS he rode up to
the door he heard the old lady say, in
a tone of deep conviction "There! l
knowed somebody'd come before
night, for l dropped my fork on the
floor this morning and it stuck straight
up. Then l dropped the dishcloth at
noon-another sure sign of company"
In entering the house the visitor
carelessly struck his foot against the
step and anne neal falling.
"Ah," said the old lady, quickly,
(which toe did you stub, the right or
the left !"
"The right" was the reply.
"That's good; it's a SURF sign you're
going where you're wanted; Pa shoe
that rooster off the fence. If he crows
there will be rain before morning."
A little boy suddenly ran into the
room crying out: go. grandma, look
Here's L copper found in tho road"
s.I'm not Il bit surf riscd. Don't
YOU remember, Tommy, that you
dreamed Of finding a nest OF hens eggs
last night l told You then that you'd
find some money before a week"
A Young woman was washing on a
porch at the back of the house, and
the old lady suddenly crie.i out:
'There. there, Susan if You haven't
splasl,ed soapsuds all over the trout OF
your dress! And if you don't get Il
drunken husband for it I'm wonderful
ly mistaken. I've known that sign to
come trac often and often. But you
can keep it from coming true by hang
ing all the clothes on the line wrong
side out. and you'd better do it."
So Susan did, as the traveller no.
ticed to,llis great amusement.-Xo Youths

The Rose.
Bl ISAAC WATTS.

Bh ISAAC WATTS.
How fair the rose! what a beautiful
flower,
The glory of April and May!
But the leaves are beginning to fade in
an hour,
And they wither and die in a day.
Yet the rose has IL powerful virtue
to boast,
Above all the flowers of the field {;
When its leaves are all dead, and its
fine colors lost,
Still how sweet Il perfumei it will yield!
So frail is the youth and the beauty of
men,
Though they bloom and look gay
like the rose;
But all our fond care to preserve them
is vain,
Time kills them as fast as he goes.
Then I'll not be proud of my youth
nor my beauty,
Since both of them wither and fade !;
But gain a GOOD name by well doing
my duty;
This will scent like a rose when I'm
dead.

Young Disciples of lola.

A trial which has just taken place in
the Pas de Calais discloses in q strik-
ing manner the pernicious effect of GER
tain kinds of literature on the weak
minds of the young. Two cousins of
Is, sons of comfortable farmers in the
department., had been in the habit of
reading sensational romances. One of
them named Clement Muchembled fell
in love with a girl of Is named Marie
Ledent, and their amours became the
subject of some verses written at the
carnival time by a local poetaster.
These verses were rather uncompli-
mentary to Clement who consulted his
cousin Henry, a notary's clerk, about
them. He had received his copy of them
from Marie Ledent, with whom he was
accordingly furious. The two cousins
armed themselve@wit long knives to
be like Fennimore .Cooper's heroes,
and called themselves by two Indian
names used by that novelist. They
had at first intended to hang or shoot
the girl Ledent as she passed through
a forest, but resolved to dispatch her
with the knives instead. They seized
her n evening, and, having cut her
throat, gashed her body in seventeen
places. The young rascals had writ
ten a long account of the murder and
the circumstances leading up to It,
which they had entitled IA Horrible
Drama" The production showed
touches of naturalism worthy of lola.
The miscreants have been condemned
to fifteen yerrs' penal servitude each,
and their parents have to pay f320 to
the father of the murdered girl.-Paris
