STORY OF A STORK.

4 story that comes from Germany is as
quaint as it is true. Some children liv-
ing in one OF the Northern provinces dis
covered that a stork had made its nest
upon their roof. Being orthodox little
Teutons, they hailed the new wComer with
favor. as storks are supposed TO bring
luck to house. All the summer they
shared their tidbits with their long-legged
friend, which became very tame and
companionable.
AT the first signs of approaching cold
weather the stork prepared to fit TO
warmer climes. The children were sad al
the thought of losing their pet, but their
parents ccnsoled them with the assurance
That the bird would surely return the next
spring. The children. still uneasy at the
idea of the Stork not being cared for
through the long winter, consulted to-
gether and evolved brilliant idea, which
they Immediately proceeded to put into
execution. They wrote a little note in
their best German script, stating that the
stork was very dear to them and begging
the good people in whose country it might
spend the winter TO be kind TO their pet
and send ii ba OK to them in the spring.
They sealed the note, fastened il to q
ribbon, tied il around the birds neck. and
tucked it under its wing. The next day
they sadly watched the stork wing it's
way toward mildeF skies. The snow and
ice came: Christmas time brought the
children gifts and fresh amuScments. but
their summer pet was not forgotten. When
the spring came round again their little
feet used to climb to the roof day by day.
looking and longing for the storks re
turn: and behold! one fine morning there
il was, tame and gentle as ever.
Great was the childrcn's delight; but
what was their surprise to discover
round its neck and under its wing an
other bright hand with u note attached,
addressed 10 1.-THE children who wrote the
letter the stOrk brought The ribbon
was quickly united, and the missiye open
ed. 1t was from u missionary in Africa
stating that he had read the chldren's 5
note, and had cared for the stOrk, and
thought that children whose good hearts
had prompted them to provide for the
comforts of bird through the winter
would be willing TO help clothe and feed
the little destitute children of his mission.
A full name and address followed.
The children were full of sympathy, and
the missionary's note won q golden answer
from the family. Other letters came and
went by post between them, until by and
by the children learned to know the mis-
sionary and his little black waits almost
as well as they knew the beloved stork
that had proved so trusty messenger.

a Blue-Eyed Maid

A little spot of heavens blue
In this dark cloud of life,
A little joy, little love
Amid the surging strife.
A little hope for better things
Amid a thousand fears,
A tender little blue-eyed smile
After day OF tears
This happy little laughing sprite,
This pretty blue-eyed maid,
The world I'd give to have her mine
And feel too well repaid.
For she is sweet and true and fair,
Though all the rest goes wrong;
She'll brave the world and all its trials,
Be they however strong.
A little spot OF heavens blue
In this dark cloud of life,
A little sunshine peeping through
After the tempest's strife.
