He held out his hand.
Ryder, or Haskell, as we will now
call him, drew back. His face
worked convulsively
" Ye bring me back the ten thou

"An' how about the twenty lost

husk;ly.
The strangers eyes filled with
tears. {" too, have lost twenty
years of my life," he said, humbly.
There was absolute silence in the
room. Mat Herrick, in a kind of
awe at this tragedy of feeling en-
acted before his eyes, had withdrawn
into the back Of the room. He
heard Haskell's labored breathing

A pause and an embrace.

"Oh, no, it isn't" she pleaded :

THE COMMONPLACE.

Shall we but value what is rare
The tlawJess gem, the peerless face
And none of our affection spare
For what is only commonplace?
The gifts of God, like words, abound
On ev'ry page of Natures book
There s something worthy TO he fOunt
Wherever you may chance to look.
We do rank common things before
Gods rarer wonders, now and then,
AS common bread is worth far more
Than diamonds to hungry men.
And always i'll Gods common things
There's beauty, if we care to seek
The sober brown of sparrOwS' wings,
The wrinkles on furrOwed cheek.
'Tis not perfection iCv-cOld,
In earth beneath or heav n above,
That can alone our heartStringS hold
Hearts cannot tell us why they love.
God help us all if men should care
For only what is full of grace,
Lest love itself should then he rare,
And we should still be commonplace

CHESTERFIELD's WIT. Lord
Chesterfield was never at loss for a
polite retort. Once he proposed q
person as proper to fill a place Of
great trust, but which the king him
self was determined should be filled
by another. The Council, however,
resolved not to indulge the king, for
fear Of a dangerous precedent, and
it was Lord Chesterfield's business to
present the grant of Office for the
kings signature. Not to incense
His Majesty by asking him abruptly,
he, with accents of great humility,
begged to know with whose name
His Majesty would be pleased to
have the blanks filled up.
With the DEVILS - replied the
king, in parOXysm of rage.
And shall the instrument" said
the earl, cOolly, "run as usual, 'Our
trusty and well-beloved cousin and
counselor p "a repartee at which
the king laughed, and with great
good humor signed the grant.

put him in a cistern, to which a

The Plaintiffs Powerful Plea.

l appeared for the plaintiff and it
must be confessed that the evidence
failed to establish his claim. pre-
sented the matter before the Justice
Of the peace in the best light knew
how, but had very little hope in Sc
curing the verdict. My client, when
| had finished, whispered to me that
he would say few words if 1 were
willing, and, considering the case
lost, | consented. 1t was the most
unique speech l ever heard, and it
won the case. He said:
Esquire, brought this suit, and
the evidence, except my own, is
against me. l don't accuse anyone
of lying, Squire, but the witnesses
are the most mistaken lot of fellows
| ever saw. You know me, Squire.
Two years ago you sold me a horse

this is the first time / have men,

grain you stood on the scales when
the empty wagon was weighed, but
/ never said word. Now, do you
think that | am the kind of a man
to kick up a rumpus and sue fellow
unless he has done me wrong?
1t took just five minutes for the
justice to decide for the plaintiff.
