Towsrd evening he reached a town where a jeweler sat in his shop behind a counter, on which lay many costly ringa for sale. Tbe farmer showed his own and asked the merchant its value. "It isn't worth a straw," the jeweler anawered. 1 ' Upon that tha farmer laughed very heartily, and told the man thut it was a wish rlncr. and of areator value than all the rings in the shop together. , The jeweler was a wioaeu, ueuguuig man, and eo he invited tbe farmer to re main as his guest over night, "For," he explained, "only to shelter a man who owns a wish-ring muaf bring luck." So he treated his guest to wine and fair words, and that night, aa the farmer lay sound asleep, the wicked man stole tha msgio ring from his finger and slipped on, in its place, a common one whioh he had made to resemble the wish riD&' . .

"iTnnnnfnrth we shall never mora be in want, dear wife," he said. "Our for- tuna ia made, only we musi uo vor careful to consider well just what we ought to wish." The farmer a wile, oi oourse, prouoruu advice. "Suppose," said she, "that we wish for that bit of land that lies be tween our two fields." ); "Tbat ii worth while," her husband replied.

The farmer's wife then suggested that they had better wish for a oow and a hone. But the man replied: "Wife, why waste our wish on snob trifles? Tha horse and oow we'll got anyway."

"Isn't it pretty?" said a little old man ai he wheeled a baby, carriage to the place where a reporter of the World waa silting in the park recently. -' "It must be pretty," said tho reporter, looking into the carriage and seeing a creature, snugly nestling in a downy nest wm its faco covored by a dolicate lace veil. .
