In Most parts of (4ermany there parnres current among the people this prt verb : "Be that would thrive Must the White Sparrow s ." The meaning of ibis proverb is not at - first sight so apparencas that of some oth ers tha ti.ctilate among us, such as "Ear ly habits make the man " and "Honesty is the best policy." I will. therefore, re late the story connected with its otigin: ' There was an.old larmer,. with whom everything appeared to grow worse from year to 3 cal.. Scarcely a week passed by that either the tax gatherer or the pawn• broker did not come to his window, and, address hire with a cou-teous how, say, fOl am really very sorry, Herr Buckwart, to be compelled to put you to any ineun• venience, but I am obliged to do•my duty." 'fire old friends of Herr Buckwart also tried to do their duty to him. They ad vised, they entreated, and they helped hilt►: but all' in vain; and so one after another gave him tip is despair, declaring, with a sigh, that. as for Buckwart. there was no use in vying to le p ie was past being ilt4ped. lie had one friend, however, whose heart was in the right place, and he was not only a good man, but a very clear sighted one. This friend thoughirlie would not give 'Herr Mick wart up altogether without making one more attempt to save him. So one day he-led the conversation, as , though accidentally. to the suhj-•ct sof sparfows— relating many anecdotes of these birds. and observing how greatly they had multiplied of late, and how very cunning and voracious they had become. Herr Iluckwart shook his head gravely in answer to this observation, and said: ••Then are, indeed, most destructive .creatures. For my part. I have not the slightest doubt that it ts'mainly owing to their depredations that my harvest has .ot date years been unproductive." To this conjecture his old friend made nn rejoinder; bug, after a moment's pause, he'continued the conversation by another interrogation. o , llleighbor. have you ever seen a white sparrow?" ..No." replied Buck wart; ..the sparrows on my fields are oft►.e common grey isSrt ' ' , That is very probable.. too," rejAned his friend. “The habits of the white spar row is peculiar to itself. Only one comes into the world every - year; and being so -different-from-its fellows, the o er spar rows take a dislike to it, and peck at it when it appears beloie. them. For this reason it seeks its fond early in the morn ing, before the rest of the feathered tribe are astir, and then - goes baak ter its neSt. where it remains for the mat of the day." ,s.That's Verystrange I" exclaimed Buck wart. ••1 most really , try and get a sight of that sparrow; and. if possible, I will catch it. too." On the morning following this-con versa lion-the farmer rose with the sun. antr sal- lied forth into the field. He walked around his farm. searched'his farm yard in every corner. examined the 'lris of his garners and the trees of.his orchards, to see wheth er_tie could discover any traces of the who. dean!

"As sere as my name is Ruckwart," he exclaimed in an angry tone, "there must be an end io these lazy habits Everything is going wrong front..lhe want of somebody to look after things.

Soon everything around him gore a flourishing aspect, and men began to observe that Herr Ruck wart (Backward) now Well deserved' to be called Herr Vorwart (Forward). In, due chursc of time this old friend again came to spend the day with chim, and in quired in a humorous tone, "Well, how are you gating on n'w?— Have you succeeded in catching a glimpse of the white sparrow?"

Yet, strange to say, the teaching of the human mind developes itself nearer to per fection in this, than any other of its re sponsibilitiei. Being at last obliged to make an effort to collect those small book bills, the teacher finds these parents taken by surprise, as they had forgotten.all about it.
