Thera lived-—or so the story goes—
A wise and goodly dame,
Who kept a litile roadside inn
For all who went or came,
Parse said that on her well-spread board,
Was found a wondrous dish,
That was not grain, nor frait, nor fowl,
That was not flesh nor fish.
The squire went right off in afi,
Upon the good dame’s floor:

To taste this wondrous toothsome dish

s that your dog?”
Jim looked around. A bright-look-
ing boy of eight years was sitting in a
carriage which stood before a six-story
dry goods store. He was gazing ad-
miringly at the pretty terrier Jim held
in his arms. He moved toward him,
drawn by the quickly established chord
of sympathy between two bays on the |
subject of dogs.
“Ain? he a beauty! Well, yes, 1
g'pose he's mine. He tell off the box
of a ng style carriage, somethin’ like
that o’ yours, one day. I picked him
up and run after it, but I couldn't

Jim, earnestly,
« Course you didn't.”

him.”
But Jim hugged the dog closer to
him, as the small boy drew various
treasures from his pockets.
“There's a top "ll spin for fitteen |
minutes : and look at that knife—four
blades and a nut-pick; then there's
these carnelians—Ilook——nine ; they're
worth a quarter apiece. I'll give "em

Jim shook his head. “He's a]lT've |
got, vou sea, and I'm fond of him.
I've fed him when 1 went hungry my-
self.”
“I'll give you some money, then.
See, vou could buy—some clot hes.”
Jitu looked down at his pitiful rags,
but stood firm.
« Take this anyhow,” said the boy,
with a look of sympathy, holding out
a half-doliar. “Get something good
or you and the dog.”
Jim eved the coir n wistfully.

“Na, no,” laughed the boy; “heisn’t

months, and he s coming home to-night,
and we're going to have the jolliest

thought there might be cases in which
this was to be doubted. “Jl tell you
what,” he went on, after a pause.
“ You come to our house to-morrow
afternoon and I'll give you such a
dinner! Say, now, will you?”
“1 don’t know,” said Jim,
“«1'd like to. Whereis it?”
“ No.— Avenue. You come there
and ask for Johnny Welford. Now |
do; promise, won't you?—and bring
your dog. Say, what's his name ?”
“ Well,” said Jim, in a half-apolo-
getie tone, “ his whole name's George

once, and my mother was a real good
woman, and-—"
“There's my mamma,” said the boy
in the carriage. *“ Just show her that
dog.” :
But Jim drew back as a lady ap-
proached, and nodding to Johnny, “I'll
eome,” mingled in the crowd. He soon |
sought a poorer street.
“Ho, ho, George my boy, what do
you think of that?” he said, showing
him the money. “What'd you like

George wagged his hearty approval
of the plan, and Jim took his way to
a suburban depot. Here he awaited

in the gathering twilight took his

ight closed down as the train wound
its alow length out of the city, and in
the course “of an hour Jim alighted
amid a perfect wilderness of cross
track, side-tracks, coal heaps and a
wonderful quantity of freight cars.
He sought out his straw pile and the
two enjoyed a hearty meal. Then his
quick eye was attracted by the balf-
open door of a box-car near.
“Let's see now,” he said, going up

A SS ASA S—
There is no element that enters more
largely into the happiness and general
comfort of society than the disposition
to make the best of what happens.
Good and evil, or what we esteem as
such, come to us at differen? times and
in various ways, but the message
they bring and the effect they produce
are chiefly determined by the way we
receive them. To make the best of
the thousand details of every-day life,
as they arise, is a great power for
good in human lives, and one which
every man and “every woman can
wield.
