The atrange nart of the atory we found to be, that
the matr ui thoe two men had put up, the pre

left, an adTertineineut offering a larj;o reward for

"Ono day, on the trlji up, when reading a
magaiine, my attenlion was nttracted by the
glitter of a gold bracelet, which, look whcro
I would, llashed bcforo mv eves, and further
acrutinv revealed the fact that tho young
lnly who wore it was particnlarly anxious
that I ahould be altracted hy it, aud to fur

tlio purie of shoing her that I was not
particuurly dazzled, m fact that there was
another auch iu the world. I took out a cold
pencil from my pnckut aml niarked a paaage
in my laiok, for my bracelet was eipial to
her'. Obaerving tliat fact ahe drew off her
left glove and oarefully arrangeil her veil,
that I ini-;lit not fall" to aee the heavily
chaseil ring whii h encirclcd hcr finger. I
could ' go hcr one lietter ' here ; ao taking off
my gne, I drew down the blind, llaahing a

wore no oarringa, I felt that nfter nll I was
even with her. At that inatant ahe drew an
elegant littlo watch from her bclt, which
ahe atudied attentively, two whole minutea,
hol.ling it up in full view, then turned to me
aa if to aay, ' Well, go on.' I had dono my
lieat, aml could not answer the challenge,
but thought mounifully of mv jxior little
loiket in a drawer at liome, w Ith one side all

creature took a iewel-caio from hcr satchel
and held up a lovely coral et, tuniing it

furtively glancing at me to bo suio that I ob

It was a beautiful thing that the country
did the other day. The gardens wcrc strippcd
of their llowers. Hundreds of thousamls of
graveswere strewn with the richest swccl

were spoken of the dead. Their valor was
praUed. Their heroiam waa laudwl. Their
urave aun gallant deeds were counted. Or
atlr cxhauated the resources of languago to
flnd words atrong enough and beautiful
enough to wenve into garlands for their
bniws. And it was well. It was n fit and
nohle thing to do. It ia well, too, to build
moniimenta to mark thc apots where our dear
dead sleep, and to inacribe uion thcm the

Kind words will not aimil a man. If a ser-

he added, reaxsuringly ; 'H 101,1 you uji ln

" What for r"
" Oh, juat for fuu ( that's nll."
To hold Nannlo up lu his arms waa a hard
thing for tlio littlo fellow to do, nor did it
add mulerially to the hcight of the littlo
lady, who declared In a disapnointcd tono
that " tlicir house nor no other liouso wasn't

" U't's go back and find it," proiiosed
.liiillille.
" And not go to that other houao?"
" No."
" Well," Nannie graiied hisollercd hand.'
"Wo cau flnd it easy enough, can't we,
Jlmmie?"
"Oh, yes; we'll go right straight back
w hero it is. We ran do that eaay enough of
course."
They trieil to retrace tlicir steps, but af
ter walklng half au hour they aeemcd no
ncarer than bcforo.
" Why don't we find tho path, Jiminlo ?"
" IVaps we shall," replleil .limmle, tight
eniiig hiagraan of his sister's hand.
Nannlo walked slowly along rnbblng her
sleepy eves. It was growing very dark and
aho could not seo where sho waa golng j be.
sidca, In siilto of all her efforU to bo hrave,
the troublesome drops would gathcr in her
bluo oyea. Suddcnly sha stumhled aml fell,
not on the ground, but ujion a large, dark
object, which seemed to Ihs alive.
Jlmmia helied her uji in a trlce. The
large object moved uneasily for a moment,
then coniposed iUelf for another nap.
"What was that?" whispercd horror
strickeu Nannie.
"Only n cow," rcplied Jlmmlo. "Iaaw
'em over hero liefore it was dark."
Nannie w as not at all afraid of cow t in the
day-tlino ; hut to stiimblo over them in the
dark nlght as qulto another thing,
" I w tsh wo didn't go to thnt other house,"
sho aald, halfobbing "couldu't you tell
tho way home, Jlmmie ?"
" No," answercd .llmmie, hruahiug hia fat
littlo haud across hls eyesj " I don't know
whero it is,"
" Then we'vo lost otiraelrca."
Jimmio was silent for a inoment, then a
comfortlng thought occurred to him.
" We didn't say our prayerf, Nannie," said
he. " l"r'aps If wo said our prayers Ood
would show us the why home. You ask 1 Iim."
" I don't know what to say."
" Why, just tell him wo want to go home."
So Nannlo knslt down iu tho tall grass,
taking care not to disturli tho reioso of the
sleepiug cows arouud hcr.
"I'lease, Ood, show iu the wav to our
home. Muat I say anything else, Jlmmie?"
" Nothing else hut ' amen j" that's all."
Nannie said "amen," and roso from her
kiices. Now wo ahall find it, sha'n't we,

What A Clean Apron Did.
Tidy iieatncss ln girls is an attraction nttlto
equal to a nrctty faco , and it is a better rc
commcndatlon, becauso a safer evidence of
good nuahtlea of character, Incldents liko
tlio following aro abundant to proye thia :
A lady wanted a trusty little inaid to help
her take charge of a bafiy. Nobody could
recommciid one, and sho hardly knew where
to look fer tho right kind of a girl. One day
she was passing a by-lane, aud saw a little
girl with a clean apron holding a baby in the
doorway of a small house,
"That ia tho maid for me," said the lady.
She stopiied and asked tho girl for her mother.
" Mother has gone out to work," was tho
rcply. " Father is dead, and now mother has
to do cverylhlng."
"Should you like to como and lhe wlth
me ?" asked the lady.
" I should like to help mother nomehow."
The lady, moro pleased than over with tho
tidy looks of the girl, called to sea her
mother; and the cnd of it was, she took tha
maid to livo with her, and found what iu.
decd sho expected to find that the neat ap
pearanco of hcr person showed tlie neat and
ordorly bent of her mind. She had no care
leaa habita, sha was no frlend to dirt ; hut
every thing she had to do with waj folded up
and put away, and kept carefully. The lady
finds grcat comfort in hcr, and hclpa her
mother, whoso lot Is not now so hard as it
was. She smllea when she says, " Sally'a re
commendation w as her clean apron."
An IrUh housemaid, who was aent to call
a gentlcman to dinncr, found him engagcd
inuslnga tooth-brnah. "Well, ia he corn
ing?" asked tho lady. "Yes, ma'am, d.
rectlyi he la just sharpeiilng his teetlil"
A mcu but parsimonlous old getitleman,
ou being taken to task for hls uncharitable
ncss, said. "True, 1 don't give much, but if
you only knew how it hurUwhen I give any.
ihlng, you wouldn't wonder,
" I wasit to know." aaid a credltor, fiercely,
"when you aro golng to pay me what you
