He Was Sent After His Masters Coin aud
He Brought II Back Home.
One day when Paris tradesman was
walking on the Boulevard St. Antoine
with friend he offered to lay wager
with the latter that If no were to hide
G-livre piece in the dust his dog would
discover It and bring 10 TO him.
The wager was accepted, and the coin
secreted after being carefully marked.
When the two friends had proceeded
some distance from the spot the trades
man called TO his dog that he had lost
something and ordered him to seek for
it. Caniche Immediately turned back,
while his master and his companion pur-
sued their walk TO the Rue st. Denis.
Meanwhile q traveller, who happened
just then TO be returning in a small
chaise from Nincennes, perceived the
piece of money, which his horse had
kicked from its hiding place.
He alghted, took it up and drove TO
his inn in the Rue pont-aux-C -Chaux.
Caniche had Just reached the spot in
quest of the piece when the stranger
picked it up. He followed the chaise.
traveller Having scented out the coin
which he had been ordered TO bring back
in the pocket Of the latter he leaped up
incessantly at and about him. The
traveller. supposing him TO be some dog
that had been lost or left behind by his
master, regarded his movement as marks
Of fondness, and as the animal was hand
some he determined to keep him. He
gave him n good supper. and ON retiring
to bed took him with him to his chamber.
No sooner had he pulled off his trou-
sers than they were seized by the dog.
The owner, thinking that the dog wanted
to play with them, took them away
again. The animal began TO bark at the
door, which the traveller opened. Caniche
snatched up the trousers and Off he flew.
The traveller posted after him in his
dressing gown. Anxiety for the fate Of
purse full Of gold napoleons, of forty
francs each, which was IN one Of his
pockets, gave double velocity to his
steps. Caniche ran at full speed TO his
masters house, where the stranger ar.

of rObbing him.
"Sir," said the master, "my dog is q
faithful creature, and if he has run away
with your trousers tits because you hay,
in them money which does not belong
to you" The traveller became still NOR,
exasperated. Compose yourself, sir,
rejoined the other smiling; "withou
doubt there is in your purse a 6-livr'
piece, with such and such marks, whicl
you picked up on the Boulevard st. An
tome, and which / threw down Their
with the firm conviction that the dol
would bring it back again. This is tn
cause Of the robbery which he has com
mitted upon you"
The strangers rage now yielded to as

Iaterpretlng the serlpturea.

'There is q queer old preacher down
in my country, said native born Mary
lander to a party Of friends in the Man
haitian club one evening last week. The
nan had just returned from a visit to
his old home after long absence and
was amusing the company with anec-
dotes.
''IIe is about seventy years old" con-
tinued the speaker 'and he has had
little or no education and is utterly in
capable Of preaching a sermon. He be-
heves every word, letter and punctua-
ton mark in the Bible is inspired, and
his method of teaching his flock is to
read from the Scripture and expound
and explain his reading to the best Of his
ability.
"Of course the good old man quite fire.
ouently runs up against some passage
most difficult TO interpret. His method
Of extricating himself, as 1 have reason
TO know. is unique / was listening to
his exposition of Solomon and all his
glory the other Sunday and wondered
how he was going TO do justice to the
great king in the matter of his thousand
odd wives All Of n sudden he came up
on tho passage, which he read through
slowly. Then he paused, mopped his
brow and said:
Brethren, we have come across a
difficult passage. Let us, however, not
shirk our duty. We must look the diff
Guilty firmly in the face and pass on to
the next verse And he promptly pro-
ceeded to do so, to the evident satisfac-
ton Of his fock."-New York Herald.

virtue HunchhacI..

Some two or three years ago a hunch-
back, well known as "Bosco," used 10
clean the boots and run errands for the
habitues of the Maison dor and Cafe
Richie, in Paris, many of whom, before
making a bet or sitting down 70 play at
cards, would touch his hump ''for luck. "
One evening a celebrated actress, COM
ing out Of the Maison dor, sent a friend
for two lottery tickets in a drawing that
was to take place on the morrow. Many
a time before she had tried her luck,
but always without success, so this time
she rubbed the two pieces Of paper ON
Bosco's talismanic hump. Next day she
found she had won g., 0O0.-London Tit

A nride OF Two Yenrs.

England can furnish instances Of child
marriages, not perhaps to any. great ex-
tent, but as young as any TO be found
in eastern countries, where such mar
riages are almost Of daily occurrence.
The youngest English bride ON record
is, beyond all doubt, daughter Of Sir
William Brereton, who in the Sixteenth
century was united in bonds Of holy
matrimony, when only two years Of age,
TO a bridegroom who was only her senior
by one year. In this case the children
were carried into the church, and their
elders spoke for them. Subsequently,
when the pair reach years of maturity,
they ratified the strange tie. In this in
stance the object was to carry out a
desire TO unite property.-An the Year

Altogether Too Much Pepper.

A man was appointed superintendent
Of a Sunday school much against his
own desire. He had been a very pro-

had experienced religion and had at
tempted to reform in every way. When
the appointment Of superintendent Of
the Sunday school was suggested he de-
INJURED. He was afraid he might lapse
into profanity or into some Of his old
ways But he. was finally urged and
persuaded to take the position. He held
it very well until one night he was asked
to pray for the poor Of the parish. He
said: 80 Lord. help the poor. They
need it. Help Jones. Jones and his
family are hungry and they need help.

Briefly describe the heart and its func-
