She looked around, took the money, told him to wiN otr his mouth, aud he gave the child a amack which aoundud like a dish-pau starting fur down cellar. An old lady came around the corner aa he straightened up, aud in response to the sharp look she gave him, the old man ex plained : "lleen kitsiug the baby awoet's honey nieeru ice cream paid two bit for it," and he went on hia way laughing to himself at hit Itargain.

Livcnnore, (Colorado) Herald. Pkiiblks. Who ever heard of any one taking a walk in the country, and constantly grumbling at the inevitable pebbles in the path? If a body kept his eyes on the pathway all the time, thiuking only of avoiding the rough stones, and how tho pebbles hurt his feet, how much would he see of tho magnillcent tints in the sky, tha variety of scenery all around him, or the graudeur of tlie mountains in the distance! This life is called a pathway, aud is also scatter ed with pebbles, which sometimes become stumbling blocks to our feet It is these little vexations and worries, these little pebbles beneath our feet, that undermine our patience and rasp our nerves to the' last edge of endu rance. A rock in our wav. a real trouble, a sacrilice, a dilliculty, calls out our reserve strength, and we conquer in whichever way our own individual character may indicate. How pcnoci is tne character which can make oi every stone a Hethel, and carry sweet patience through every crook and turn of the path of life! I think we forget sometimes how very small some of our supposed trials are. Can we not re member how we used to build houses of stones, under the shady trees, years ago, and how insignificant now seems the Hat, smooth stone which made a mammoth table then? So, as ws grow older, and approach nearer the real mean ing of life, trifles dwindle down to their true size, and we wonder that we could have given them a thought. The pebbles seem rather uneven ly distributed sometimes, but it is the stoniest paths lead upward, and it is only by climbing the rucks that we reach the mountain summit. Aiti Smith AUen, in Country Gentleman. "1 your horse perfectly gentle, Mr. Dsb ster!" "Perfectly gentle, sir. The only fault he has got, if that tie a fault, is a playful habit of extending his hinder hoofs now and then." ''Hy extending his hinder hoofs yon don't mean kicking, I hope." "Some people call it kick ing, Mr. lireen, but it's only a alight reaction of the muacle-a display rather than a vice."
