Reward Rcfused.

OF all the cities in the world. if n per-
son must be robbed, Vienna is the town
in which to have the performance enact
ed. Some time ago a Boston gentleman
had his watch, a valuable gold one, and a
UNI of money stolen from him while in
that city. He offered $50 reward for the
recovery, of the property. The watch did
not appear. and on returning to America
he left his name and address and the
number of his watch. together with the
amount of the reward, with the police.
A short time ago the gentleman receiv-
cd his watch, together with the reward,
intact and a polite note from the director
saying that it was against the rules for
policemen TO receive money rewards.
OF course il d civilian had recovered the
watch the reward would have been paid.
The only charge was so ceats, the ex-
pense of transporting the watch from
New York to Boston. The thief had been
arrested in Vienna, the watch had been
found upon him and forwarded by the
city government of Vienna free of charge
to New York.

THREE FRIENDS.


0l all the blessings which my life has k.vwn,
I value most and most praise God for three
Want, Loneliness and Pain, those comrades
true,
masqueraded in the garb of foes
For many a year and filed my heart with
dread.
Yet tickle joys, like false, pretentious friends,
Have proved less worthy than this trio. First.
Want taught me labor, led me up the steep
And toiIaome paths to hills of pure delight,
Trod only by the feet that know fatigue,
And yet press on until the heights appear.
Then loneliness and hunger Of the heart
Sent me approaching to tho realms Of space
Till all the silences grew eloquent
And all their loving forces hailed me friend.
Last, pain taught prayer, placed in my hand
the staff
OF close communion with the oversoul,
That I might lean upon it to the end
And find myself made strong for any strife.
And then these three, who had pursued my
steps
stern, relentless foes, year after year,
Unmasked and turned their faces full on me,
And, loi they were divinely beautiful,
For through them shone the lustrous eyes of
Love.
Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
