A Story of Mans Ingratitude.

This story was told in olden times by
Sabbas dc Castilion, u knight of ST.
John of Jerusalem: There was once in
CAMBRIA law made that whose would
complain against any man of ingratitude
was bound to ring certain little bell ap-
pointed for that purpose, at the sound of
which certain commissioners met to-
gether, who having heard the complaint
and defense of the parties, If they found
that the party grieved had ground for his
grief, they would presently award the
complainant some satisfaction under pen
atty of a great fine. Now is happened
that Calabrian, having for some years
drawn full service out of his horse. which
by labor and old age was fallen blind, be-
came full of sores and was lame and Ito
gether Improbable, drove and beat the
poor beast out of his stable, so that, want
ing meat, he was fain to feed poorly
abroad, pitifully tormented with wasps
and flies. The horse, limping and search
ing for some shadowy place, lighted upon
the chapel, mistaking it for his stable.
BY chance there stuck in the bell rope
some boughs of tree which the beast
Juggling at caused the bell to ring. The
judges presently came together after the
accustomed manner, and finding nobody
there but the horse, which they saw SO
lean and in such i'll plight they made him
be brought into the market place. and,
causing the owner to be brought before
them, strnightly enjoined him to take the
poor horse into his care again, to feed him
and use him in all respects as he was wont
to be used in his days of health and
strength, natural equity requiring that
forasmuch as the horse had spent his years
in his masters service he should in his
old age be maintained by him.

and that night he dreamed they had one.
lie was an old man brownie and came to
the door with an enormous pair of shears.
Il We heard, said he 'about your Tom

lie stuck the shear points down into the
floor and hoped up on one of the handles
and whipped out threaded needle. Bring
ON your trousers" he called land bring
on tho boy too. I'll patch them for you,
and then I'll patch Tommy, too, so that
when they wear through the holes won t
show. See?''
NOh, Joyfull' cried Tommy's mamma
What good ideal" and she was leading
Tommy along the other shear handle
when Tommy woke. And glad enough
was he that there wasn't any old tailor
brownie to sew patches on his knees
