Stlcrt Stom. STORY FOR THE YOUNG. Tho Milk Can of fctrasburg. Iam only going to try and tell the children a story wbile tlit-y make them selves oiiuf; by .t'ie tut-, ami look into the red ctveius. and think how comfortable it is to be safe from tlie moaning wind. You h ive all Iieard of the terrible war between Fiance and 1'iuseia ; and Low, at last, the famous eld city of Strar-burg surren dered under I rave General Ulricli. It in a very curious old town, with its houses b tilt F red stones, and with its narrow etre L. Hut the chief wonder is the Cathedral, begun iu 1015, and not quite finished yet. Its marvelous tower, 474 feet higli, has a ttaiicase of 725 eteps (you see I am as good as a guide-book ), and the stonework is so exquisitely fin ished rs alraoHt to look like lace. ' In this C tthedral tower is the curious a."tronom hnl clock, which not only tells the time of tiny but the motions of the planets But wh:tt has all this to do with the milk can ? Stop ! dou't yawn ! ' ' Once upon a time no ! at the- very time when llie Prussians had begun to surround the city, before the townspeople were forbidden to pass to and from the city, a French gentleman of the name of Dtspard had been VLut up in the city with Lis little gill Marie. Their own' home was on the coast cf Brittany, but his business, for , he was a large exporter of leather and carpets, brought him to Strasburg. He, like most French folk, had thought the great army hud only to take a military L oliday to Uerlin ; but he found his mis ta.ee. lift had two difficulties, therefore, to enconnter. First, to escape from the Fre nch garrison, who were exceedingly ji-il. ius of any able-bodied mau leaving tbe ity ; andv secondly, to pass through tbe Prussian ,seutries. - ,-,,'. ,;i Evvry day made their position worse. The P.iUr-'eian batteries had opened fire on the f orte, and though as yet they tiied to spate lhe towu, yet a shell every now and then would scream through the air, and, falling iuto the open streets, scatter desolation tiround. So M. Despard, hav ing found a deserted cellar, carried the little Marie there one dark night, and, by degrees, s'ored away some small stock of provisions, catidles, and so on. Uay by day they said their prayers earnestly day by day they talked of the dear wife and mother far .away in the little'fishing village on the co.ist, from whom no letters now came. ' '. ' . ' M. Despard thought over every plan, and at lust detenn ined" on a bold project One dark evening he returned with a strauger. ' Marie almost cried out in ter ror, till, when the caudle was lit, she saw a stout peasant woman, with a strange sort of white linen bo w r.ied on top of her head. Marie opened btr eyes as, the countrywoman put down an enormous milk can a perfect giant in its way polished like silver, with a brass top and jaunly-looking lid, and two polished han dles, aud standing about foar feet high and a foot and a half wide. Then, hur riedly the father explained! bow he had bought this miik can, and to what use he was to put it. .He bad bought it of the good Ursule, and Marie was- to get into it some day. and be carried tmt past the French and Prussians, and see her dear mother and home once more, and pick dp shells upon tbe beach, and see tbe goats and tbe old brindle-eow.--" So," with great care, M. Despard took off the lid of tbe monster milk can, and slowly drew ' forth a suit of peasant woman's : clothes cap ' and gown and wooden shoes, and floor to make his hair gray ; ' and Ursule laughed in a quiet way, arid told Marie to be a brave little girl, and not to mind the milk can for an hour. So she bade father and child good - bye, with many tears" on Marie's part, and promised that in a week's time she would come, and, bringing her donkey- cart, take Marie and her father safe through the sentries... There was no time to be lost, for after that date no country folk could pass to and iro. . . When they ,were left alone, M. Des pard talked to his little girl, but could not comfort her, Oh, that terrible milk can. It was so cold aud slippery, and she should be suffocated. Ob, ber dear father must not ask her she should die. 'Very well. Mary," he said, ?'we will die together. But I thought my little girl loved dear mother, and the qld home." And Marie wept much and said little ; and after saying their prayers, father and child fell fast asleep., i Next morning, the 'gray dawn, stole through the cellar-window, and ever and again came the roar of the heavy guns, the growl of the cannon,,, the shriek of enormous shells., So after breakfast they looked at the milk can again, and Maria thought Bhe would, try it ; aud her father took out his . watch: aud challenged her playfully to stay there a quarter of an hour ; for Ursule ; had declared that an hour would be loug enough in . the milk- can to escape. And so the little girl, looking at her father's pale face, and thinking of the village on the coast, and her dear mother, grew braver day by day, till she was able to stay the whole hour iu the milk-can. Her kind father had bored holes here aud there,, and got her some twine to net, so that her fingers might be employed... There was also ar ranged a little soft seat at the bottom. Aud so they anxiously awaited Ursule. 's arrival. . , , ', ( . . When she came, Marie she was just six years old, I ought to tell you was iu great delight ; for M. Despard had dressed himself, while the child slept, in the peasant woman's costume. . There he was pale, aud gray haired, and. thin. wooden slioes ou : lie Had suavea ou moustache and whiskers. Ursule leant against the wall and laughed so heartily, her black eyes dancing with funand her white teeth gleaming, that Marie skipped iuto the milk can, and in a moment the father and Ursule, having blown out the light, crept up the dark stairs, while above them, high up, burst a shell. . No time to be lost l'p iuto the cart goes the milk can, and Ursule urged on her donkey, M. Despard walking by her side. They reached the gate ; a mere boy, a conscript, is on guard, who chal lenges sleepily, gives the can a tap with1 his hand ' Pass, empty milk can !' he said iu French. Marie nearly screamed out.Jbut by a strong effort, restrained herself. Ami so down the causeway, over the drawbridge aud out-ou the road that led from the fort, the donkey struggled along against wind and rain. Poor Marie felt almost sea sick with the jolting ; and M. Des pard steadied the miik cau as much an he could, whispering that they were nearly safe. They were close open the Prussian line. . , The glare of a bivouac fire shone on the spiked helmets of the Prussian Land wehr ; an Uhlan saf lance in hand, up on his poor liorse, shrivelled up beneath the wind and rain. Guttural sounds of jolly laughter came from the group of officers anil men, puffing huge cl mils of smoke from their long pipes as the don key drew near, and at the two peasant women , and the milk can the laughter grew louder and. longer. , An officer said something, and one , of the soldier step ped forward and gave the can a ringing blow with the but end of his rifle. This was too much for .Marie ; she gave a scream of terror ! : . , '.The group was astonished. One of the great bearded soldiers advanced and took off the. cover, and then, calling an officer, he pointed out the poor litth girl fainting at the bottom of the can. M. Despard was in agony, yet restrained himself,.: He was ready to fight a thou sand soldiers for, bis child. But, to his surprise, the great bearded giant took up the little Marie as tenderly as a mother might, ' What a milk can," shouted tbe soldiers The officers smiled. , Ursule showed ber white teeth ; so merry were they all, that Marie could not realiz what had happened. . She sprang to her father. , , "Oh, father, take me away." ' "Ila! ha!" laughed the deep bass voices.': "LTer papa in petticoats !" However, when M. Despard had told his story, .after communicating with the brigadier, father and child were passed through the lines' by the brave Prussians.' and reached borne after some days. The wind' and' waves roared. No mother sat at home, and they entered the village; all was 'still, ho light in the casement. The clock struck ten. They went to the good clergy mtu's home, who with upturned eyes'and hands wel comed them. Marie should stay by tbe fire', if 51. Despard"' would go up to the little church on the bill. There, if any where, his wife ' "would! be. So-htf went up the mountain road."' '" Through the 'mist shone the little church." Within he saw kneeling wor- 1 shipers. Yes there in the corner, with a tear stained face,' was his own loved wife. How grandly came the storm-psalm from the sea! "Lord, have mercy on is !" rang from the choir. . He had heard tliat sudden joy may kill. ' He stood behind a buttress and plucked a neighbor's sleeve a cross old man "Leave me alone ?" he snarled He touched another; she knew him with a little stare, and went hi and pre pared the wife and mother. He could see tbe sudden gleam the hurried upward glance.' In a moment they were in each other's arms.' In another half hour all three were kneeling in the good pastor's study in devout thankfulness; and that day was kept by the whole family as a thanks giving day in the little church over the sea, on the Breton coast. 11 ' ' The milk can is their drawing room's pride. ....

Iu that neighborhood lived a' somewhat noted Indian, Yellow Hawk by name, who had abandoned his nomadic life and had tak'en to farming By industry and economy he had become possessed of a horse and cart, and it was his custom to go to the different posts within' accessible distance and dispose of the products of his farm. On these ex peditions he always carried with him a canvas tent, which he would pitch on the approach of a storm. , About three weeks ag Yellow Hawk went upon his last journey. He was ac companied by his wife and a dog. "While he was in the neighborhood of Fort Sully a terrible storm, attended with thunder and lightning, passed over the vicinity.
