In the year 17U4 a poor Frenchma was passing the winter in a vil'age in Germany One cold morning he had occasion to a load of wood. He found a peasant who had one to sell. and asked him what the price was. he peasant, who perceived by his broken German that lie was a foreigner, and that his ignorance might be taken ad vantage of, answered that the price was three luiiis d'ors. The Frenchman endeavored to beat him down but in vain. A la-t he took ic. and ]u. the money that was asked. Th pea- :!::*, delighted have ~,Y.'.\\ so good a bargain, (trove with ids empty cart to tke village inn, which !s not far di-tauf, r.nd ordered breau wu- getting r^ad) he landlord with an ac way in which had enchmau, and made him d'ors for a l-o id of v, yod '.which, at the utmost, was not worth more than seven .shilling.-, and sixpence —talking as if he had done a very clever thing. entirrt li-ii-d CMUlt of i. cheated tin: pay three !u The landlord was a good mai:, and told him at he ought to be ashamed of himself thus tp have taken advantage of he ignorance of a poor foreigner.

Th judge was surprised and indignant at the land lord's extortion, especially as he had always borne an excellent character. He ordered him to be brought be fore him and his reception of him was somewhat stern. Bu the landlord told him the whole story—ho he peasant a taken advantage of fh.e poor emigrant's ignorance to cheat him, what their conversation was. and how his own conduct is simply visiting upon the head of a dishorn st an the wrong he had done to another. Unde such circumstances the jud^ decided that the mdlord had done right, and at the peasant should pay the three louis d'ors.

THE BROKEN PANE. At our school there was a boy by the name of Robert Rich. One day he was throwing stones, he hit a window, and broke a pane of glass. No person 1 had seen him threw the stone. lie I might have slunk away, and kept his act a secret, if he had not been too noble a boy to do such a meanness. Mr Hardwick, who lived in the house wfcere the window was broken, was a lawyer, and seemed to be of a stern, harsh temper, for he used to scold he boys if they but crossed his fields or even entered the woods. Hobert did not like to meet him. I But Robert had more fear of doing wrong an facing the anger of the I lawyer. So he went up to Mr Har wick and said: In throwing a stone now I broke a pane of glass in one of windows. W then, you must send a glazier and have it said Mr. Hard wick in an angry tone. at is what I wished to said Robert, "an I will do it at once. Struc by this a reply, Mr Hardwic asked Robert if he had any money to pay the glazier. said Robert I have half a crown at I have been saving W at have you been saving it up for asked Mr. Hardwick. I have been saving it up to my sister a a replied Robert "Well sir, said the lawyer, "1 look to you to see at my window is mend- Rober bowed and took his leave. Tha same a he sent a glazier, and had a new pane of glass set in place of the broken one. He felt at Mr a wick ad claimed of him no more than was right and he did not blame him. But, as Rober sat at his lesson at evening, the door bell rung a.id a package was left for him lie opened it, and what do you think he found? In the package was a beautiful blue sunshade, and with it a letter from Mr. Hardwick in these words: "Take this as a proof at I was pleased by your readiness in doing right to a Robert ran and gave the sunshad to his sister, and she was delighted with the gift. His father, when he learned what had happened, said to Robert, W should always do right for the love of right, and not in the hope of re a I am sure I did not hope for a re a said Robert I should still have been glad at paid for mending the window, even if I had got nothing in return For surely I deserved noth ing. I see at a man may seem st.-rn, like Mr. Hardwick. and yet be kind at heart.-— E \xlish pap r. A in Stagrc Il»biters—One ofc ll»o i'lliiute er of tirayn-on B£i31eil. [Pro:" ii: rit.

Republican tells ft story which is important, if true. A Virginian whose name it gives, was lately bitten by a moccasin snake, and before he could get any means of help his bitten leg was very badly swollen and his sufferings were great, if not threatening to be fatal. A madston was applied to the wound, and seemed to suck the poison from it the leg soon resumed its natural size, and the uncomfortable to ms disappeared. It is curious at the belief in mad stones exists in the East Indies as well as in this country and a marvelous tales are told of their origin. —Mr Smith, he author of the late charming work, "Ten Life with the Gipsies in Norway, has built himself a house near Laurvig, in at country, where, on 9th. lie was married to a gipsy by the name of Es meralda, who is said to possess extra ordinary musical talent.
