TWO Hon ion KlMDTO tiik Haiiv. While a
nurse girl was yesterday drawing a babe along
Alfred street she waa approached hy a queer
liNiking old chap, whose mouth waa working as
if he wanted to bite somebody. He halted the
cab, chuckled to the child, and liually aaid to
the nurse :
"1 uaed to he juat such a little angel myself.
Dear me, how I want to kiaa him I"
"Hut you can't," ropliod the girl.
"I didn't expect to fur nothing, of course,"
he continued, feeling in hia pocket. Here is
twenty-live ceuU, young miss, I used to have
to pay half a dollar for kissing 'em, but babies
are down uuw, 'long with everything else."
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.

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.

"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."
