SILL. - The Royal feast was done; the King Sought some new sport to banieh rare, And to his jester cried " Sir fool, Kneel now, and make for 118 a prayer." The jeater doffed his cap and bells, And stood the mocking court before ; They could not see the bitter mile Behind the painted grill he wore. lie bowed his Ilead and bent his knee Upon the monerch'a silken etool ; ilia pleading voice arose : 0 Lord, Be merciful to me, a fool ; " No pity, Lerd, could ehange the heart From red with wrong to white As w001 ; The rod Hoist heal the .in ; but, Lord, Be mercitul to me, a fool ! 'Tis not by guilt the onward sweep Of truth and r.ght, 0 Lord, we stay ; Ti by our follies that so long We hold the.earth from heaven away. " These clumsy feet, still in the mire, Go crushing bloseoma without end ; Thee° hard, well-meaning, halide we thrust among the hearastrings of a friend. " The ill-timed truth we might have kept, ‘Vho knoWs haw sharp it pierced and stung' ' The word we ha,d not sense to say— Who kaows hove grandly it had rung " Our faults no tenderness should ask, The chastening stripes must cleanse them all ; liut for our blunders—oh ! in shame Before the eyes of heaven we fall. Earth bears no balsam for mistakes ; Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool That did his will ; but thou, 0 Lord, 1;e merciful to me, a fool !" The room was hushed ; in silence rose The Kingeand sought his gardens cool, And walked apart, and murmured !low, " lie merciful to me, a fool !' Aaron and the Cents. For years Daniel Webster* "utility boy" was a lad named Aaron Bradshaw. lie had to du "chores "and errands for the great statesman, and among other duties the daily fetching and carrying of his meil was by no means the lighest. Aaron, however, made a " good thing of it," for Mr. Webster was generous. In those days postage on- letters was -notprepaid,and on sending the boy to the post -office for his mei' he usually gave him_ a bank note or a sum of money more than enough to pay for the letters. Aaron would carry back the change, and if there were any cents among it, Mr. Webster frequently geve them to him. This became the rule, and finally the Senator told the boy that he need not bring him any more coppers. Hereefter, Aaron, whenever you find any cents among the change you may keep them and say nothing about it. They are. yours." Aaron was glad to be trusted, but could not eaeily get over the habit of giving in the full account of the money, and hardly ever returned any loose change without showing or telling his employer just how malty cents fell to his ehare. H.e weft an honest lad, and at first it may not have occurred to him that a tempation had been put in his way. fiat once, when Dearly a week had passed, and ill -luck seemed to keep all the coppers out of the way,•he began to be eorely tried. He wanted some money extremely, but no coppers came te him. Again he went for the letters, and the namaeter again gave him all eilver in change. For ininute he stood cogitat- ing. Gradualier he edged back to the delivery wicket, held out a half - dollar to the postmaster, and said in :a timid voice : " Will you please give me the cents; for this ?" The money was changed, and Aaron went home with his load of coapers— and misgivings. Both loads grew heavy a, he entered Mr. Webster's presence.. His hand trembied a little when he laid dowu the letters and—the pile of cents. The veteran lawyer understood the case at once. "Aaron," he said, in his usual tone, "you know I told you that when there were cents in the change you should keep them." The lad slowly picked up the coppers and turned to go out,» hardly knowiug whether to feel happy or ashamed. . At the doer he started at hearing his name , " Aaron)." And of course he went back at once. "Aaron," said Mr. Webster, " did you ask for the cents?" The boy confessed; and though he was allowed to keep the money, that minute and a half before the " awful front" of Daniel Webster cured him forever of all deeire to take liberties with what was not his own. A Bride's New Home. Mrs. Bird lives in a large and hand- some houee on a great Minnesota farm. There are many items of wheat, exten sive tracts of woodland, and broad pas- tures where numbers of cattle have their home. In the rear of the family house stands a little old log house, the play- house af the younger children. The older ones, who are away at school, or at work in the world, were born in the from the county, seat, forty-five. miles away. "Every one else had slabs or sod or straw for roofs, .and almost everybody had sod floors. The people made' their own doors, and all the houses had doors like those you see on sheds. So yon can understand that when the house that Uncle Jack built lifted its shingled head high enough to admit of a cosy chamber above the nine -foot ceiliog of the room below, just a little envy crept into that primitive region. It was winter'when Uncle Jack &hilted the house, and so cold that he could not chink and plaster between the logs as is. Usually done, so he gathered4 quantity of moss, such B8grows in the bottoms ofthe sedgy lakes, fishing it up with a pitchfork. "Before he put down the floors, he placed 80M0 poles on the joiets for the upper floor, put the moss up there, and built a tire on the ground below, so he could dryit. When it was almost dry, a spark caught it, and it burned up. UncleJack only just managed to saVe the house he bed worked so hard to build. Then he-ba.d to get more moss, and dry it to stuff between the logs to keep the wind out mita spring, when he could plaster it. He put a window on each side of the door, a,nd one in- the south end. Up.stairs there was a half sash at each end of the single large TOOM. '1 canto and made our home in the house that Jack built. I put a carpet across the hall -of my room south of the doors. The earner east of the window was by bedroom. West of the south window was my parlor organ, with my what not of books in the corner, and under the west window was a low lounge that uncle Jack had made. That corner was my parlor. The northwest- corner was my dining room, and the remaining corner was my kitchen. Between the doors we called the hall. We were very cemfortable, al- though, then, there was no store nearer than eighteen miles away. When I catne, uncle .Jack met me with a sleigh, and we took home quite a supply ef'pro- visions from the town with us. Uncle Jack's rifle kept us supplied with game; then it was nearing spring, and there would soon be fish. , " Yes, this house iS bigger and better in every way, but I'M eure I'm never any happier here then I was in those early days, in the little old log -house where uncle Jack brought me as a bride." tended by his valet. The young gen- tleman was lively, but stammered slight- ly in conversation. On string Brad- burn,1 whose personal appettance would attract attentionuthe gay young fellow, speaking aside to the land:ady, said: "Y'0 -you h -have a parson here." " Ife'S a Methodist preacher, my lord," said she. " Oh, then, 1-1-'11 have a -a. bit of fun with him." Approaching Bradburn, he said: " P -p -pray, sir, c-c'Tcan you t -tell me how it Wad that_ 1.1•4-1:1Alubam'd ase spoke_?" Bradburn, who knew that if you look full at a stammerer you increase his dif• .4eulty, replied : "Iyhat do you say, sir ?" " P -p -p -pray, sir, c c-cau you tell me h•Inhow it was th-that B-Balaam's use Little Troubles. , Little troubles are proveebially• the ones tha.t causes the most worry, annoy- ance and vexation. But what are some- times considered little troubles, if left to themselves, soon magnify into grave evils, producing diiastrous results. This is especial)y true of cold in the head. The sufferer looks u.pon it as a trifling annoyance that needs no treatment and will speedily pass away. This is a grave mistake. There is net a case of catarrh in existence that did not have ite ori- gin in neglected cold in the head, and the longer the trouble runs the More serious the results.' Cold in the head, ,5) developing into catarrh, renders t1 - breath foul, causes a loss iif the sen)s of taste and smell, partial deafnese, diti'l tressing headaches, constant hawking_ and spitting, and in matey., many • came). ends up in consumption and death. No case may have all the sympeoins indi- cated, but the more the suffer r has the greater the danger. It is obvi use there- fore, that no case of cold in the head should be neglected for an in. tent, and that to do so is courting further dia- ease—perhaps death. Nasal Balm, in the most aggravated case of cold in the head, will give instant relief, and speed- ily effects a cure, thus preventing the developing of catarrh. No other rein- edy -has ever met with the success that Nasal Balm has, and this is simply be cause it does all its manufacturers claim for it. As a precautionary remedy a bottle of Nasal Balm should be kept in every house. Sold by all dealers. - 12.09 3 ...- With His Permission. Those who saw an elegant gentleman driving down Beacon streat one snowy day last wiuter with an expression half quizzieal, half perturbed, lmight have gueesed !ora long time before hitting upon the cause of his unueual aspect. It was one of those days wNen neither pea lieemen nor city ordinances, home rules nor school regulations can prevent the ordinary boy from throwing snowballs, and small Grace did not see why she should be cut off from the general amusement ; but being obedient,accord- ing to her lights, she asked permiesion to snowball any friend whom she • :night see in the street. "Certainly not," answered her scan- dalized mother. " But if I ask their permission, may- n't I ? With their permission, mam- ma ?" " Yes, with their permission, you may," was the dry answer. old log house. It was to a nephew in Out sallied Miss Grace, trailing her I the East that Mrs. Bird one day talked sled behind her and looking as innocent a great deal about the old log -house; as a whole boy choir pinching one an - while her own children, too, listened eagerly. " Vour Uncle Jack had built the log - house for me before I came on from my mether's home in Illinoie, where he had left ;n� when I was firet married till he could come and make ready our new honia. We called it ' the house that <leak built,' for he did most of the work M ith his own hands. All the neighbors celled it 'the house' in distinction from cabins of the other settlers. Ours was the thirteenth dwelling in the township, so we were not crowded, you can see. Stilt we were nearer together than you might think, because the air here is so I el re. - _ " 1 remember that soon after I came, 1 stood one day outside my west door, when 1 heard a hen clucking and croon - in. I wondered where she could be, for none of my neighbors' hens ever came to see me ; besides. the nearest hen lived a mile away. Well, that hen wee a mile away. It was a warm day in March, and the lake yonder was froten over, and the house where the 11..11 lived was across the lake. The tweed came over the ice. Ilut about our house. The settlers here usually called their homes cabins, but ours was generally called 'The House,' as I have said. This had rather . an aristocratic sound, which was not lessened to my ears by the knowledge that it was given more in ridicule than in honor. Uncle.Jack had cut the tam- arack logs himself, and hauled them to the place ; then he got lumber for floors', and shingles for the roof,also two doors, ;tad four windows—not half sashes, but four whole windows—he brought them other while in full song. She gathered a good large snowball, and waited for her victim who soon approached in the person of the gentleman • aforesaid. Forth she sallied into the middle of the street, and he supposing that she wanted to fasten her sled -to his -sleighin order to try that pastimewhich is only less exciting then being aboard a yacht towed by a big steamer, slackened his pace. "Good morning," she cried.; " may I !" "And welcome," he said—involuntarily adding an indescribable sound, for Grace's .snow .ball was very soft, and when it struck the back of his neck it seemed to disperse iuto a cloud and to fill his eyes, although enough remained inside his collar to cause hint, to sit with 'great rigidity during the; remainder of his drive. Grace found herself summoned iuto the house before she had time to repeat her experiment. "Why. he gave Inc permission, and you said I might," was all the apology he obtained from her,and the most elaborate explanation did not avail to make her porcaive her naughti- ness.-aG. Hanilen, in Wide Awake. ' Samuel Bradburn. An incident in the couree ot one of Bradburn's journeys was discussed by an old minister, who had the best evidence of its authenticity -I -evidence which was »afterwards confirmed by Bradhurn's nearest relatives and biographer.

While waiting, anoth- er passenger arrived—a yoeng lord, at - spoke?" - - " What do yophsay, sill'?" cried Brad- burn, looking sternly into his. face, and putting his hand to his ear. ' " Pa -p -p -pa -pray," stuttered the fun - maker, and stood with distorted face, unable to put his question. His valet came to his rescue,ande bow- ing to Bradburn, said: " My lord wishes to know, sir," whether you can inform him how it was th t Belastrit's ass spoke" 'f 1 don't know, sir," was the answer, nlees itavas that Balaam, stammered 80 adly himee.lf that he hired his ass to Sp ak for !liner eth maeteel and man had found fun en tigh.--Sunday Magazine.
