Rohkht AM) the EoBi.i. One day SI Robert De Chow Chow, who was tbe sop of a poor but honest peasant, was pass ing through a field he espied a roun fluttering on the ground. Now Robert had long dealred to possess himself of I robin, and, seeing his opportunity, bs sprang forward with groat eagernesi and found the bird had Its foet entan gled in a string. He seized It after a lit tle trouble, and bis Joy was so great that he uttered a shout. But after s minute or two there came a change. The robin looked at blm in suob sad-eyed way, and its heart beat so fust as he held it in his hand, that Robert folt s great pity and said: "Poor blrdl 1 will not pu. you iu cage to pine and die. Hore take youi freedom. Wasn't that nice in that boy? And to you think such action went unrewarded la those days? Robert had scaroely gone ten rods aftbr frooing the bird when he came upon a Saratoga trnnk ohuck full of trade dollars, which were then slightly above par. The trunk and contents had been left there by Jay Gould, to reward just such a Robert, robin action as this, and the boy shoul dered it and ran home and bad the mort gage on the farm paid off before sun down. After that his father always had ton-cent cigars, and his mother could buy turned-soled shoos, and the happl-, ness in that family was so groat that each one had to go out at intervals and be kloked by a mule. Pmjckwo the Hodao. In a dell not far from the house where Sarah dwelt with her parents, who were also poor, but honest, grew a beautiful flowsi called the "bodag." In another part of this same dell lived a fairy, whose busi ness it was to guard the bodag and sos that no one came to injure it What salary she got, and why that flower wai any more sacred than a pigweed I know not. I never meddle with other people I business. Little Sarah had been told not tc pluck the bodag, and she was a girl who never disobeyed her mother, but on day her cousin came to see her and soon began to whisper evil counsol in bet ears. This cousin was twelve years old, had forty-tour freckles to the squar inoh, and hor noso turned up at the end. Hor name was Vlviere. She not only wanted to gather in the beautiful bodag, but the fairy as well, and full of this determination she started tor the dell. Sarah followed close behind, entreating her to stay her hand, and when she paid no attention to the pleading voice out young horoine wept so profusely that the tears fell oft the end of her nose. The doll was reached, and with a loud shout of defiance Viviere rushed for ward and seized the fateful flower and broke it from its stem. Next moment she disappeared with a loud "S-wlshl" and it may be good policy right here to state that nothing of her, except one toe-nail, was ever found. As the willful girl disappeared the fairy came forth from her lair, and placing a delicate hand on Sarah's head, she said: "Child, I heard you ploading that she would not pluck the hodag, and whil she has been justly punished you shal be fitly rewarded. Here, take .his." And she placed a bag ot rubies, pearl, and diamonds on the good girl's shoul ders and hoadod hor for home, and that', all I oan remember just now, except U add that this is a true story and won't fade or shrink if run through hot water. Tub Truthful Bov. James and John were playmates, and. each twe ve yean old. Their parents dwelt side by side, and so the two boys wero much together. They "played horse" with the same hoe handle, liked the same brand of pump kin pio and were pretty nearly one in all things. The one great exception was the fact that James would He like s candidate for alderman, while John would toll the truth If It barked hit shins. James often guyed him for this I foolishness, but to no effect He kept right on tolling the truth and getting three lickings x any other boy's one. One day when these, two boys were going over to Mrs. Scott's to borrow hei quilting frames and a drawing of tea they met a stranger, who looked at them intently and finally asked: "Boys, did you find a p- .-e of gold on the road." "No, thlr," promptly responded Jamei the liar. "Ylth. thir," as promptly responded John the truthful, at the same time handing it. out Tbey had found such a purse, but be ing a little absent-minded I had forgot ten to mention the fact "Ah-ha!" cries the stranger, "but 1 dropped it to tost youi The proof it cleart Presto fizzledum change!" And a great black cat leaped out of s thlc ket and bore the liar away for cat meat, while the stranger took from hit pocket a golden rule and handed it U John with tho remark: "Now run along sonny, and every thing you touch shall turn to gold. Re member, that while the liar may prosper and grow fat tor a time, the truthful hyena will como out on top in the long run." .
