A GENTLE REBUKE.
A Thsu@htIrss Mas s'Hpia Practical
Joke Played on q Lady
Musician.

The following little nnecdote, says
She Philadelphia Times, is told by a
man who. while spending some time
in the different cities Of Italy, used
to frequent. In one particular place, a
certain coffee house. In the center Of
the main room was a large marble
slab. which covered the pipes that
heated the place, and the tables were
arranged around this.
There was always fine music there
in the evening, made hy man and
his wife. She played on strinCed
instrument and after several selections
she carried around little filigrse al.
yer basket. In which she collected coins
from the guests
One night. as the music began, u
man seated at one Of the tables held
up a gold coin. The woman smiled,
and the man dropped II on the mar
bic slab that covered the hot pipes.
When she made her collection she went
last for the gold coin. but rs she
picked It up, she gave cry and
dropped II again, for II had become
heated on the slab. The husband
glarcd at the man, but did not say
word.
The next evening. when the must.
clans appeared, the woman's hand was
bandaged and she had some difficulty
in managing her instrument. When
she made her collection, she avoided
the man who hnd playpd the practical
joke on her; and night after night, she
did the same thing. In vain he offered
her apologies, and other coins, but she
merely bowed and smiled in passing
him, and never allowed him TO give her
the slightest donation. OF course one
can imagine the offenders feelings;
but who can find fault with the wom-
ans gentle yet dignifed rehuke?--Phil-
adelphia Times.

elm she stopped. Little Benjic had
always stopped there, years ago.
with sudden distress Diantha thought
OF the poor little mother he would
never wave his cap to again.
"Poor Lcahi" she cried. aloud. The
fountain Of her pity was unseaied at
last. The bitterness and anger were
swept nway-she forgot, for the mo-
ment, everything but Little Renjie's
mother, alone in her pain. She re-
mcmbered how II had always been
