The ForgetnI Pupil.

There once lived a man who possessed
such a lovely garden that it was his great
est pleasure to watch its growth, as leaf
and flower and tree daily seemed to unfold
to brighter bloom. one morning. as he
was taking his usual stroll through the we'll
kept paths. he was surprised to find that
many of the blossoms were picked to pieces
It was not long before he traced the mis-
chief to little bird, which lac managed to
capture and was about to kill when it ex-
claimed:
"Please do not kill me. | am only a
wee tiny bird. My flesh is too little to
satisfy you. Set me free, and shall teach
YOU something that will be of much use to
you"
81 would like to put an end to you" re-
piled the man, "for you are spelling my
garden; but as | am always glad to learn
something useful, shall set you free. -
And he opened his hand to give the bird
more air.
"Attentionr' cried the bird. "Iere are
three notices which should guide you
through life: DO not cry over split milk ;
do not desire what is unattainable; do not
believe what is impossible" \ =, rs
The man was satisfied with the advice
and let the bird escape, but it had scarcely
regained its liberty, when, from a high tree
opposite, it exclaimed:
"What a silly man, The idea of letting
me escape! If you only knew what you
have lostr'
"What have lost?" the man asked,
angrly,
"Why, if you had killel me, you would
have found inside of me huge pearl as
large as a goose's egg, an you would have
been a wealthy man forever
"Dear little Bird the man said, in his
kindest tones, "sweet little bird, | will not
harm You. Come down to me, and | will
treat you as if you were my own child, and
give You fruit and flowers all day"
But the bird replied: "What silly man.

told you not to cry over split milk, and
here you are worrying over what has hap
pened. | urged you not t. desire the un.
attainable, and now You wish to Captur,
me again. And, finally, bal you not t,
believe what is impossible. and here YOU
are imagining that | have huge pearl in
side of me, when a goQscs egg is large

the bird, as it flew away. -Hdrper'S YOun!

DO you see what each fetter is? Self, self,
self! We were your slaves in life: in death

And again they iecred at him and
Knocked him, and bound him around and
around in their unbreakable chains. And
their Joy and sport rose higher and higher,
and they played with him hideously as with
a toy. And his face was bloodless and dis
torted, and his eyes glazed in nameless
terror.
The morning sun streamed through the
stained-glass windows, throwing out the
full colors in the garments of the holy
mother and child in the central side win
dow which the Messrs Cuttinghurst and
their sister had placed there in memory OF
their mother
The stately figure of the digniied and
imposing sexton moved up the aisle with
measured tread, carrying large floral of
fering sent by the Stock Exchange.
1t was pillow of Parma violets, in the
centre of which, formed of white rosebuds,
was the sweet word REST Placing it at
the head of the coffin, he stood off at a lit
tie distance, his head on one side, to view
the effect
Suddenly he started and looked around
him in outraged proprety, Who had dared
disturb the sanctity of the holy place and
a dead mans sleep by jeering laughter?
The church was empty. The vestibult
was empty. Perhaps the walls had caught
and echoed the tones of one of the passing
crowd, the sexton thought. Perhaps.

MISCELLANY.


They parted with clasps of hand
And kisses. and burning tears
They met in a foreign land,
After some twenty years.
Met as acquaintance meet,
Smiling. tranquil eyed
Not even the least little beat
OF the heart upon either side.
They chatted Of this and that,
The nothings that make up life;
She in GainsbOrOugh hat,
And he in black for his wife.
Ah what comedy this!
Neither was hurt, it appears;
Yet once she had leaned to his kiss.
And once he had known her tears!
