who was passing, so that his basket tipped,
and fell to tho ground with its contents.
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

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

conduct was greeted with tho applauso of
tho crowd, who were dclightod ta find such
delicacy and propriety in ono so young.

and informed the Englishman that iu tho
absence of a 'pair of Yankees,' ho might

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. Tho affair oc
curred about i!& 'miles from Niagara. Tho
licking was so well deserved, and so hand;

A Tradition of tlie Arabs. 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."
