Tho poor lad, when he saw his eggs all broken, and his butter tumbled in tbo gut tor, began to cry bitterly and wring his ( bands. A. person who happened to bo in tl10 crowd that gathered around tho litllo fellow, drew a ton sou piceo from his pool et, and giving it to tho boy, asked tho rest who stood around him to do Iho samo, to mako up tho loss occasioned by this acci dent.

When oil had. contributed their quota, our young valet, whoso distress had .vanished in a mcmcnt as though by enchantment, warmly thanked his new benefactors for their kiadness, and forthwith proceeded to count tho sum ho bdd received, which amounted to no less than twenty-two franc3 and thirty-five centimes. But instead of quietly putting this sum in his pocket, ho produced tho bill of thd articles bo had lost, and as its total amounted only to' fourteen francs, he appropriated no moro than that sum, and then observing in tho group that sarrouuded Lim, a poor woman in rags, tho gallant little fellow walked up to her, and placed tho remainder in her hand. Cer tainly it would havo been impossible to havp shown himself more deserving of tho publio generosity, or to aeknowledgo it in i handsomer manner. Tho.. boy's uoblo conduct was greeted with tho applauso of tho crowd, who were dclightod ta find such delicacy and propriety in ono so young.

Tlio Englishman off coat and pitched iu, Dan countered and hit tho Englishman under his left car. The Englishman went up about five feet, leaving his boots behind. Englishnian eamo down again and fell liko a log. Dan got a physician, bled Iho Englishman, and brought'him to. Having done this, ho sent him homo on a sjiuttcr.

A King Kimrad, one day. commanded bis thrco sons to enter his presence, and ho oaused to bo placed before them by his slayes three scaled urns. Ono of tho urns was of gold, tho second of amber, and tlio last of clay. Tho king desired his eldet son to choose among them th-t which ap peared to contain tho treasure of the great est iirijo. Tho eldest clmso tho vaso of gold, on which was written " Empire.'' He opened it nnd found it full of blood. Tho second choso tho amber vase, on which was written " Glory," ne opened it and .found it filled with tbo ashes of men who had been famous on tho oarth. Tho third took tho remaining vase that of clay. He opened it and found it empty; but in the bottom of it tho potter hadjWrittcn tho names of God. " Which of theso vases weighs most?" demanded tho king of his court. Tho ambitious replied, the vase of gold ; tho conquerors, tho vaso of nmbor ; tho sago3 answered and said, " The empty vaso, because a singloilotter' in tho namo of God weighs moro than tho cntiro globo."
