'Is ft, then, because you cannot cloth

'Xo, fur I recon they've got about as

'Then why don't you send them?'
'Wall, 1 tell you. Some time ago 1 sent

Ill the depths of a forest tbcre,livcd two
foxes who had never had a cross word with
each other. One of them said one. day, In
tho politest fox language:
'Let's quarrel.'
"" 'Very well,' said the other; 'as you please
doar friend. JJnt how shall wo set about
it?'
'Oil,- It cannot bo difllcult,' said fox num
ber one; two-legged peopla-fall out, why
not wc?'
So thoy tried all sorts of ways; but It
could net he done, because
tach ono would give way. At last number
one telched two stones.
' 'There,' said he, 'you say they're yours,
and I'll say they're mine, and we will
quarrel, and fight, and scratch. Now, I'll
begin. Tliose stones nro initio I'
'Very, well,' said the other,, 'yott arc wel

'Hut wc shall never have a quarrel at this

'You old simpleton, don't you know that

OiuS"ltf the inost comical 'thlnV lrvo
ever heard was told In the Caucasus," sald
Dudley U'lnstou, the young man who
accompanied his father on the mission to
Persia. "It was In Tlflos. tho capital ot
Georgia. You know there's an American
store there a big place of business where
all sorts of 'Yankee notions' are dealt out
at enormous proilts,to the natlyes. I drop
ped-In there. One -of tho objects of In
terest to which the Itusslan salesman direct
ed my special attention was a patent potato
pcoler.
"Decs instrument," he said, es medd
by 7.0 famous 'ousc of Pat Aug.
I was astonished.
"IPliat house did you say?"
"Ze fajmoos 'onse of Pat Aug.'
"Xeyer heard of it,' I said; I guess you
aro mistaken.'
"lleoecken? Xo, sure, 1 havo often
heard of ze 'ousc, and I have often seen zo
name of ze 'ouse. I will show him to you
now. Oli, It Is a (inn which enjoys great
fame here.'
"And with, that he looks for a specimen
potato peeler and brings one out.
"Zero, sare,' he says, 'ecs ze name en
graved in see metal. Sec!'
"I burst out laughing until may sides
ached. There was the legend: "Pat.
Aug, 17, 1873.' And the 'Pat Aug,' part
ol it he had taken to be Hie firm's name,
I found that this polnto peeler was famous
under the name of 'Pat, Aug.' all over the
Caucasus,"
THE FIBST BTAB8 AND STKIPES
Previous to 1775 each one of tho Ameri
can colonies displayed its own ensign, aud
tho army and navy departments had dis
tinctive flags. In that year a Hag bearing
thlttccn red and whtto stripes was present
ed to a Philadelphia military company
1 called 'The Light Horse.' Jt was In 1777
that the Continental Congress resolved
'That the flag of the United States shall bo
, thirteen stripes, alternate white anil red,
' with thirteen white stars ou a blue Held,
representing a now constellation.' The
, first llae of this pattern was displayed over
Port Schuyler (now Home, Now York), in
August, 1777, and was made of sheets and
' bits of red clotli, while Captain Abraham
. Swarlom's blue coat nas used for tho blue
Held for the stais. The present Hag was
designed In 1818. by CanUln Samuel Held
the privateer Armstrong, who acted on In
vitation of a Congressional committee. It
is the same as tho original, except the ad
dition of a star for every new Slate.

The Lost Bracelet.
".It'st ono penny, If you please, ma'am."
It was the day before Christmas, and late
in the afternoon, a beautiful-and tlchiy
dressed lady was walking up llroadway
with her arms laden with brown paper par
cels. Hundreds pf people were hurrying
along, jostling each other as they passed up
and down the crowded thoroughfare; but
her bright, happy face was like a ray of
sunlight in the gathering darkness of the
winter afternoon, and the owner of the
clattering shoes that had been following
her some distance, took courage from its
Sweet expression, and put up its modest
plea for "just one penny." It was alow,
pleading voice, scarcely audible in the noise
and bustle nround, yet the lady heard it,
for she turned and logked an Instant at ths
little creature before her. Her scanty gar
ments weie. a poor protection from the
frosty air, and gloyeless hinds and pale f,tce
looked blue and pinched with tho cold;
her miserable hood had fallen on her
shoulders', and a pair of eloquent eyes
looked up into the lady's face, wlilje with
her stumpy broom Rho swept the crBssing.
"Never mind," said she to herself, "I
can walk home this poor little thing needs
thl more than I do;" and she dropped Into
tho open palm beforo her the only sixpence
left. "There, child, a merry Christmas to
you," she said, In a sweet, sympathizing
voice, which made the tears come into the
dark eves of tlio little ghl, as sho tiled to
thank her.
It wis a long walk that the lady had be
foro her, aud the omnibus tattled along
with a provoking empty seat or two Inside,
bat her heart was light aud happy with the
Utile sacriUce which sho had made, and
just ns the lets of gas began to blaze out of
the windows she reached her home. She
had been married only a short time, and as
she looked around her pretty room, which
her husband had furnished for her in their
boarding house, sho felt more than grateful
that Hod had given her such a happy home.
She had not removed her hat and cloak,
when she hoard her husband's step in the
hall, and with a smile and kiss she met him
al the door.
"Why Kato, how tired you look, have
jou doi.e a great deal of walking to day?"
Kate blushed aud smiled, but deception
was not part of her nature, and she replied:
"Yes, IlfJirv, I walked all the way
home."
"You should not have done that," ho
said a little reproachfully, and then lie
laughed as he continued: "Did you spen I
all your money, so that ou could'nt afford
a sixpence to ride home with?"
"Well, I suppose I mutt tell you," said
Kate, with another blush. "I did hwe
just one sixpence left, and was going to
ride up, when such a poor llttbj) girl"
"Yes, that's It, I knot what Is coming.
Why, Kate, you make the very mischief
among the poor people and my pennies.
they are the most uugiateful set in the
woild."
"Hut," said Kate, (arnoatly, "she was
such a delicate, half-clqthed, and, I am
afraid, half-starved little stjeet sweeper"
. "Street-'swceper," and her lmsbanr' held
up Ills hands in mock-horror; "why, Kate,
tbey pick tip handiful of money In adiv;
and did you walk home, and give one a
whole sixpence? Oh. oh, what won't your
little heart do uokl""

Kate bore this quizzing very well, and
was about to reply, when, on pissing her
hand up her arm, she exclaimed, suddedly:
"Oh, Henry, my bracelet Is roih your gift
last Christmas what shall I do? Where
can I bayo lost It?"
"That is too, bad," said he thoughtfully,
but the next moment he continued, shrug
ging up his shoulders mischievously:
"May he some honest person has picked It
up." Seeing tlio tears come, into his wife's
eles at tills speech, he put ills arms around
hoc and kissed her, with "Xevcr mind, my
dear, I can roplaco It somo lime."
Her husband, who really loved his Utile
wife tenderly, took her hand and put some
thing In It, closing the tender fingers tight
ly over It, saying, "Don't distress yourself
any morn about .bracelets and Street sweep
ers; here's your Christmas gift, and the
next time you go down town, get a pretty
set of furs with It." Kate's hand closed
over a hundred dollar bill.
The day after Christmas sho was again
on llroadway, aud, as she was passing by
the identical spot where she .had given
away tho sixpence, she felt herdress pulled
gently, and, turning around, she eiicoutit"
ered the same little, half-clad girl,
"I'm so glad that you've come, ma'am,"
said the child, ''you dropped this the other
day, and I've been saving it for you ever
since," and pulllug something out of her
bojum, she put It Into tho lady's hand.
Hastily tiuiolllng tho bit of newspaper,
Kato A lair saw her bracelet. H'hat a
triumph forhcrsolf and for Henry, "Thank
you, thank you, my child," sho exclaimed,
taking the little baro bauds In hers.
"1 tiled to find you that day," said the
little child, "but you went out of sight so
soon that Rcotildu't," and with a bright
face, sho continued, "I want to thank, aud
my mother wants to thank 3011, too, for 1
didn't get a penny all that day until 1 saw
you, and that slxpenco bought the medi
cine which is coing to make her well."
Kale's eyes glistened as sho fleard this,
and thought of the temptation 10 ride home
that Ood had helped )icr (o resist, "Take
mo with jou to jour mother," shu said,
still holding the girl's hand; such honesty
and thankfulness shall not go unro
Wirdcd." It was a pretty long walk, away over near
tho North Iliver, but they finally reached
the tenement house, In the basement of
which the little girl lived. A pale, slqkly
woman was lying on a bed in a single
room which they occupied, but she looked
up eagerly as she heard '.ho girl'.s voice
say: "Hero mother, the beautiful" lady Is
come herself," Kate sat down by tin bed
side, and lent tier ear to a tale of want and
privation of wlilfli she had never dreamed
of, and leaving what little pocket money
she had with her, she promised to tee hct
again; then she started for her husband's
ofllcc. Mr. Alair was pouring over bis
account books when Kate rushed In with
bright eyes and glowing cheeks, and hold
ing up the bracelet before lils eyes, she ex
claimed: "See. here, Heury, that's what
came of giving my sixpence to the street
sweeper." ., -
Her husband looked up, glad and sur
prised, first at seeing her, and then because
the bracelet was found, and he listened
while she told him of her Interview with the
child and her mother, "And now, Henry,
I am going to ask you if I may do one
thing I really do not need so nice a set of
furs as you have given the moirty for, and
f want to take somo of it and buy fuel and
lights and provisions for those poor people;
they had ueithorcoal nor candles, and noth
ing but a little cold cabbage for dlniicr."
Henry shook his head, but it was not a
very negative shake. "Nobody can resUl
you Kate," said he, smlllcg, "aud you may
do as you please with tho money. Kate
thanked him with moistened eyes moro
Lthan with his voice, and as the door closed
after her, Henry said to himself, "There
goes an angel; and if ever that tcxl, 'He
that glveth to the poor shall not lack,' was
jneant for anybody, It was Tor her.' "
The little girl's mother did not get well
again; but before she died, Kate told her
about Jesus, mid won her to love and trust
Him. soothing her last ipoments with
comforting, cheering words, Kven little
Jano she taught to say with faith, "When
my father and mother forsake me, then tho
Lord will take me up."
Ily and by Mr. and Mrs, Alulr went to
housekeeping, and thoy took little Jane,
now an orphan, to live with them, and if
there was one grace more than another
that Kato prayed th'j child mr;ht haye, It
was that of charity; for Jane's growing
beauty of character, and her constant
gratitude, proved a continual reminder lo
her generous benefactress of that sweet
lesson of out Saviour's "It Is more blesed
to give than receive."
