MATJUICK DE RAXKwtui aeon of the King of Hnxony, and a fine lat lie m ob tall ami utroiiff and hand giune, and as brave a a lion. Hut the Klng.Hke a rcrlnln old woman of whom you may have heard, had go many chil dren that he didn't know what to do; and go, aa Maurlco had audi a lot of elder brothers aa not to have muiih chance of Inheriting the crown, or any thing elso that would keep him In bread and butter, his father scut him out to geek his fortune, like many another prince In those dnyg. Ho he went over to France and entered the army of King Louis XIV. Now 4tt that time there wag always a war going on somewhere or other, and the French armies were fighting In every part of Kurope, and the King cared very little who his officers were, or where they came from, if they were only brave men and clever fighters, anil rendy to go wherever he liked to tend them. Ho, 111 you may think, It was not long before our friend Maurice, who wasas brave as uny of them, and a great deal cleverer than most, began to make his way. First he got to be a lieutenant, then a captain, then a major, then a colonel, aud at last, w hile he was still quite a young man, he came out as Count tie Haxo, and field marshal of the army of Flanders, with fifty thousand men un tier him. This was pretty good promo tion, wasn't it V" Curiously enough, the one thing thai this great general specially prided him self upon was neither his skill In war fare nor his favor at court, but simply his strength. There was nothing he enjoyed so much as showing oil' the power of his muscles, and astonishing the people about blm by bonding an Iron bar or felling a horse with one blow of his (1st, and he was found of saying that he would give his purse and all the money in it to any man who was stronger than himself, if he could full in with him. Now it happened that, one duy, while the French and Oerman armies were lying pretty close to each other, Marshal de Baxe sent a message to the enemy's camp, asking some of the German offi cers to dine with him; and after the meal he began to boast of his strength, hb usual, till at last an old German gen eral who sat at his left, said that he would like to see a specimen of what his excellency could do. Haxe made no answer, but took up a large silver dish, which was standing before him, in his strong white fingers (for, big and pow erful as his hands were, they were white and smooth as any lady's, and he was very proud of them), and, without more ado, rolled it up like a sheet of paper. "Can your honor unroll that dish again V" asked he, handing It to the German ; and although the general was a strong man, aud tried his best, lie found the task too hard for him, and was forced to own himself beaten. " Your excellency's strength is very great," said he, " but nevertheless I venture to think that there Is one man in Flanders who can match it." " And who may he be ?" asked Haxe, frowning. " A blucksmith in the village of Hchevenlngen, Dick If ogan by name. All the country around knows of bis exploits, and when I met with him my self, I saw such things as I should have thought Impossible had my own eyes not witnessed them." When the marshal heard this he looked blacker than ever, and the first thing he did the next morning was to send off messengers In every direction to inquire for a village called Bcheven ingen.anda man named Dick Ilogan. The smith, had been living there till quite lately, but that now he had sold bis forge and gone away, and nobody knew what had become of him. This was a decided disappointment for our friend Saxe, but he had some, thing else to think of Just then. The enemy's army had lately received strong reinforcements, and seemed inclined to attack him, and he was riding out one morning to reconnoitre their position, when suddenly his horse stumbled and cast a shoe. " There's a village Just ahead of us, your excellency," said one of his offi cers. " Shall I ride on and see if I can And a blucksmith V" "Do so," answered Buxe; und the of ficer came back presently to say that ho had found what he wanted. So the horse was led to the door, of the smith, and the smith himself came out to have a look at it. The moment he appeared the marshal fastened his eyes upon him as if he would look him right through. And well he might, for this smith was such a man as one does not see every day very nearly as tall as Saxe himself, while upon his bare arms ' the huge muscles stood out under the tanned skin like colls of rope. The marshal felt at once that he could never be comfortable till he had a trial of strength with this sturdy-looking fel low, so he bade him bring out one of his best horne-shoes, The smith did so ; aud Haxe, looking at It, mild, quietly: " This ware of yours Is but poor stuff", mv friend ; it will not stand work. Look herel" He took It Iti'hls strong hands, aud with one twist broke the Iron llko a bis cuit. The smith looked at him (or a mo ment, and then, without seeming at all taken back, brought out a second horse shoe, and a third, but Haxe broke them as easily as he had broken the first, " Come," said he, I see It's no use picking and choosing among such a trashy lot; give me the first shoe that comes to hand, and we'll cry quits." The smith produced a fourth shoe and fitted it on, and Saxe tossed htm a French crown a coin about the sl.e of a silver dollar. The Dutchman held It up to the light and shook his head. " This coin of yours Is poor metal, mynheer," said he, saying the words Justus the marshal had spoken his. " It won't stand work. Look hero 1" lie took the coin between his finger and thumb, and with oue pinch cracked It In two like a wafer. It was now the marshal's turn tostare aud the ofllcers exchanged winks be hind his back, as much as to say that their champion hud met his match at lust. Saxe brought out another crown and then a third, but the smith served them In like manner. "Come," said ho, Imitating the mar shal's voice to perfection, " It's no use )ilcklng and choosing among such a trash lot, give me the first crown that comes to hand, aud we'll cry quits." The Frenchman looked at the Dutch man the Dutchman looked at the Frenchman-'-aud both burst Into a roar of laughter so loud and hearty that the officers who stood by could not help Joining in. " Fairly caught 1" cried the marshal, suddenly, and added, "What's your name, by fine fellow V" "Dick Ilogan, from Hchevenlngen." "Dick HoRanl" cried Saxe. "The very man I've been looking for I Hut I have found him In a way that I didn't expect." " So It seems," said the smith, grin nlng. " I needn't ask who you are you're the Count de Saxe, who was al ways wanting to meet with a stronger man than himself. Does It seem to you as If you had met him now ?" " Well, I rather think It does," quoth Saxe, shrugging his shoulders; " and as I promised to glvo him my purse when ever I did meet with him, hero It Is. And now, if you'll come along with me, and serve as farrier to my headquarters' staff" I promise you that you shall never have causo to repent of having met with Maurice de Saxe." And the marshal was us good us his word. - - UNCLE lAKE'S COURTSHIP. NO, BOY8.-I didn't sturt with the Idee of being an old bachelor; and, what's more, I don't believe that any llvln' man ever did do It, for the long in' for a mate is born natural in every breathln' being.' Uut, you see, this is a dlsappolntlu' world, and somehow I must have got mustered In on the un lucky side. I went a-courlln' once. It was a long time ago; but, I reckon, not so long but I can remember most of the p'lnts. You see, I served my time to old Zeke Brown, father to Zeko who owns the forge over to Slatcrvllle. He has been dead nigh on to twenty years now ; the old man, I mean. I always was a steady, hurd workln' boy, never tryin' to shirk work or sass back ; and, when my time was Out, tli o old man was so pleased with me, that he gave me, beside my freedom suit, an old silver watch and the offer of a share in the forge. This was a hand some thing in I!rown,and a good chance for me ; but, as is always the way with good luck, Insteud of maklu' me thank ful, It puffed up my conceit, and made me think that I ought to have some thin' better. So I thanked Brown, and told him I hadn't quite made up my mind what I'd do yet: but I guessed, any way, I'd take a rest for a spell, and look around. Brown gave a couple of snorts, and then suld : " All right," and we separated. I think it was about a week after this that It happened. I had spent the time loafing around the village in my best clothes, telling the time o' duy, aud putting on airs gen erally for I tell you boys, times was dif ferent then, and a 'prentice Just out of his time, with a watch and my pros pects, was no small pertaters. As I said, I had been going on this way about a week, when one day I met Alviry Hart comin' out of the grocery. Now, I had known Alviry all my life ; but somehow this day she seemed to strike me all new. Her eyes were brighter, ber cheeks redder, and her curls blacker. She seemed about the prettiest girl I bad ever seen. Now, I never was much of a fellpr after the girls : In fact, they was the only thing I was afraid of, and I was skittish of them. As I suld, I expected "to be married some day ; but that was a goods ways off", and I thought It would come round lu the nateral way without my having much to do with It. But, Just as Alviry turned the corner, the idee popped Into my head : "Jake, my boy .that's the girl for you. Strike in and win." And the thought did strike lu so deep, that the next Sunduy night I walked 2 miles, In the teeth of a searching wind, to old Hart's. Talk of love of the pres ent day, boys I Where could you find the man who would do that now, chV I tell you, It was a cold walk ; but when Alviry herself opcned.lhe door for me, and showed me Inter the best room, where a bright Are was blar.ln', I forgot all about the cold, and would have walk ed twice the distance right over again without a growl or a-carln' a bit. Well, we set aud talked about t ho weather, the chanches for slclghln', aud other things, till the clock struck nine, and I heard the folks lu the setlln'-room go to bed. Then I hitched my chair a little closer, aud we talked about slng In '-school and qulltln'-bees for another hour, when I took another hitch. Alviry blushed this time, and I begun to feel bolder. Then all at once a loud mew broke the silence. Alviry Jumped up aud suld : " O my !" I Jumped up too, and asked : "What the matterV" "It's Aunt Dolly's cat," she says. " It's out In the wush-shed ; and I must catch It, and take It up to her, or I will get It in the morning. O dear I I wish it was dead." " Leave it out," says I, " and may lie It will he In the morning." " Oh, I wouldn't dare to," says she. "And what would be the good t she'd have another In a week. I must go for It. Mr. Simmons, will you please hold the light for mo V" " Certainly," I says. And I took up the candle, and follow, cd across the scttln'-room and kitchen to the wash-room that opened off the kitchen. The door was shut. HJie tried to pjwn It; but it stuck fust. I gave It a push ; but no go ; and git tin' r'lled, I let out a little of my mus cle, when oil of a sudden it flow open, and let In a gust of wind, that blew out the candle, and left us In darkness. " O my t" says Alviry, " what shall wedoV You see wo didn't go round with our pockets full of matches In them days. Ho I says : " I'll go back to the slttln'-room, and light the candle." But she says: " You'll never find the way. (Jive it to me, and you wait right here till I come back." I gave her the candle, and she left me there In the cold and dark. I heard her open the parlor door, and then a low mew drew off my attention ; and looking out into the shed, I saw a pair of shining eyes that seemed right In front of me. , "Helgho I" says I to myself, " here's a chance for me to make a p'lnt. I will catch the beast beforo Alviry comes back. And I started for it. But, alas for vain ambition ! at the second step, whack went my shins agin sometbin' hard and sharp, and I pitched forward. I threw out my arms,to catch myself; but no good. The next min ute my hands was try In' to clutch some soft stuff that would keep slipping through my fingers, and my head was burled to tny shoulders in the same mess. Jericho 1 but I can feel that stuff now sousln' in my eyes, nose, and mouth, and sllppln' down my collar. I thought my time had come ; that I had found the bottomless pit, and was sinkin' Into It. I tried to get my head up; but the blamed thing held me like a pump sucker. I couldn't scream, and a lie gun to smother. At last, In despuir, I gave a desperate Jerk, and my head came up; but at the same minute one of my hands slipped from under me, and I came down on my stomach across somethln' hard, that knocked all the remainin' breath and a fearful yell out of me, Just as Alviry appeared with a light. She echoed the yell, and turned to run. But her woman's curiosity got the best of the scare ; and she come back Just as I crawled to my feet, and stood drip ping with the infernul stuff. I expected, of course, she'd come tr my help. But not a bit of It; shejr looked at me a minute, and then sal' "Oh my 1 if he ain't spilt all fj soft soap I" This was too much. I gave ,0ne look of rage, and, yelling, " I" )mn,a soft soap !" rushed from the house, leav. lng my hut anil overcoat behind me; and I took that wind on my bare head for two miles without fouling It. The next day, when I was In lied with Influenzy, Alvlry's little brother brought mo my hat and overcoat, with tlie messnge that his sister didn't want to have nothing more to do with a young man tbnt used profane lan-, giiage. Well, boys, she got hnr wish, and I never went courtln' again. - John Chinaman In a Railroad-Car. The following laughable Incident Is told by a well-known government of. flco-hotdcr who has numerous tales to tell of his observations and experi ence : "There were two seals In the car turned so as to face each other. One was occupied by a lady and the other by a Chinaman. Evidently, the lady did not relish the presence of tho China man. She explained to him that she wanted to take cushions and their frames and place them lengthwise across, from seat to seat. John said 'all llglite.' and got out In the aisle while she proceeded to lie down on the bed thus Improvised, with her head resting on her vullse. Hhe supposed that the Chinaman would take the hint that th9 lady wanted to rest In the space usually occupied by four persons. But John proceeded at once to crawl In, and stretched himself by her side, with bis head on a little bundle of his own. These Chinese are an Imitative race.and like to do as others do, you know. The lady, as soon as she discovered that she had a bedfellow, got up a little wildly and started for the next car, to the in finite amusement of tho passengers, who hud been watching the little scene with some Interest, John took no rTo tlce of the fun he hud created, but went to sleep with the whole bed to iduv self." A Little Girl's Reproof; An army officer, on returning home from camp life, went to visit a relative, and like some who Imitate their asso ciates, he Indulged In profane language. A little girl walked out with him to his horse, and as he was talking to her in great glee, she gently said: t "I don't like to hear my cousin swear." He replied: "I know, my dear, It Is wrong." In the same mild tone she rejoined : "Well, then, If you know It Is wrong,, why do you do HI"' Tlie captain confessed to a friend, on relating the story, that he never felt a reproof so much as the one given by, that little child. He had good reason to, feel It, for he deserved it. The old verse says : " Maintain your rank, vulgarity de spise; To swear is neither brave, polite nor wise. ( t i Don't Judge by Appearance. You are walking through a forest. On the ground, across your path, lies ' stretched in death a mighty tree,' tall and strong, fit mast to carry a cloud of canvas and bear unbent the strain of tempests. You put your foot lightly on it and how great your surprise when, breaking through the bark, it sinks deep Into the body of the tree a result much less owing to the pressure of your foot than to the poisonous fungi and foul crawling insects that have attack ed Its core. They have left the outer rind uninjured, but hollowed out its heart. Take care your heart is not hol lowed out and nothing left but a crust and shell of an empty profession. Shal low rivers are commonly noisy ' rivers, ' and the drum is loud because it i hollow. y tW Dr. Barton, of Texas, has Vtie of talking to himself when walking' hog the road.
