ATew York Weekly. A. Simple Story. The Simple story of John Hcffernan teaches us that honesty and patience are ere to be rewarded, more forcibly than that great moial lesson could be impressed on our minds by a didtical discourse. j John Iliffernan was a poor boy when ha entered the establishment of Messrs. Goldsticks & Moneybag?, but he brought wi.h Mm a certificate . from his Sundy School teacher, saving that he wai an 'honest lad, who could learn mora verses and torget them quicker than any other boy in the class. His employers were obliged to test his hon esty in various way?, but he stood the test noblj, When Mr. Moneybags saw him pick up a p;a from the fl -.or he was sweeping, he thought that. J..hn mjght be guilty of taking thing", and drrpped a ten cent shinplaster in the same place ; but John honistly swept it out without noticing i and brushed it, into a corner, where he coultj pick it up at his leisure. Then Mr. Mpcejt ags cvcrpf.id him his weekly stipend by $t end waited to see what the boy would do. At the dead hour of night the Moneybags household was aroused by the furious ringing of the beiy The old gentleman put on his dressing gown and descended to the door, where he found John Heffernan, with' a tear in his eye anc a dollar bil1' in his right, hand. John declared that he could not rest "in his virtuous couch, after discovering he mistake, until it was r ctified. Why didn't you keep it V1 asked Mr. Moneybags. 'I would not have known that I had overpaid you. ' : 'Keep it ? exclaimed John. '.Little do you kno w of the precepts tht were iastilled into my youthful breast by my sainted grandmother. But I c nfess the temptation was a strong on?. I was saving money to buy a Dibla for my widowed mother, and ccumidated the sura of Gftten "cents. With this dollar I cou'd have crmpletcd me pur chase, and I admit that I looke 1 at it w.th longing, eye?. But' houcsty tri umphed over temptation, end virtue is its own reward.! f i x Kcp the dollari for your honesty,' said the benevolent old gentleman. 'Iiuy your Bible and be hpiv: I Would li-k roil n rnnrnr ru. I in the usual way, but it happnsthat . - J- luY Fl-"MF my aaugners are all son?, and you must excuse me forhe"present.' John went home his. heart pwellin" with the,consciousaess 91' having done his-dutj and made. 'ar dollar clear. Theneziday he invested that money in a chuckaluck cutlU of the benighted youog heathen in ..he nxt alley. Young Utffernan was then promoted to a desk, and a five dollar bill was once placid temptingly within reach ; but John was secure in honesty, and wasi.'t certain that his his the bid was a good; one. Then he was pat in charge ot the bank deposit?, and his cherjct r lor honesty was established. One day when he was going to the baor, he looked at the ticket as usail, iud dsscovered that he was the bearer 61 $45,000 in currency, IJe then knew that the time had come for honesty and path nee to be rewarded, and he sluffed the billinto his pocket jand to k tLe riut train for the wrtj He is now one of the- most prominent resi dents ot the Pacific Slope, where De has already bought a country seat on the, coasj", and xp cts to buy a seitintne Senate.

Mark Twain, few months after, his fir t baby was born, was holding it on his knee.

But when cor jughl fidelity exis, poverty, priva tion and toil are welcomed gladly for the joy of love. But this love must be m re than' mere words ; it uiust be in heart and lit", in deed and truth. It must be endnred as well as de manded. It must be jeelJ-dening as well as sel?-lesiring. Love beareth all thing, and endureth all things, but never failetb. And when in her weakr cess, weariness and sorrow a woman can feel that she does receive from her husband such - a self- lenying love as this; - when his strength bears with her weakces', his patierce with her petu lance and when his calm courage soothis JrjShk8 ttna farp, what gratitude swells upwith in her hetrt, j Woman seeks in a husband truth, no bleness and uprightness And if a man will show 'his manhood in his daily tife, he will fiad a blessing in his beut and in his home such as tongue pannot describr. Wives need love. Their hearts yearn for it as much as in the days of girlhood when lire itself was love. Thtyolun pass their womanhood in anxious cans and wearing labors. Ia the anguish of maternity they enter in to new spheres of existence, whose only life ia love, Whether woman's cou se i3 to be sadness or joy, sunshine or gloom, depends upon love. All her cares, are borne with patience if love sweetens her bitter cup, A long, hard, weary day of toil is amply j paid for with a smile j and one tender, loving clasp makes her forget a whole lifetime of care and conflict, and bless tie day she fouud a husband with a heart so true and hand so strong. An. unex pected f jvor touches her to the s ;u'. A gift in secret, and apprecaiting word, a piijl'gj soothing glance, a kindly, sunny smile, a little Self-Jenial to af ford her pleasure or spare her pain ; and these are sunbeams of gladness to thg heart of the true and toiling wife.
