I'uuiia's mother only shook her head, and said that "our stupid people arc always seeing miracle." Then came the news that a great and awful pattle had leen fought. Thin time I'auna was the lust to hear the news.

She bad already been al( through the camp, asking for Tanase, l-'eailessly she approaehrd both friend and enemy, giving both to drink, uml contem plating the dead with pity. Night deep ened and the moon rose to illuminate the horrible plain. Still the girl walked here and there, kneeliir' down beside the wounded, supporting on her breast the liuad. of men about to die, aud ever watching for some glimpse uf herring aud her little image among the frightful heaps of mutilated corpses. She recoiled only once through disgust, on (icrceiviiigtioiuc would! robbing a tlead man, and on hear- g the sound of bones beiug broken iu order to wrench away the gold or jeweled rings.

One morning the men of the little village saw two travelers approaching on the ruailu blind man, wrapped in a sol dicr'n elouk, with u cru.i of honur on his breast, and a young girl, who. as she led 1 1 llm by the hand, joyfully said to the pusHcrs by; "This i:i my betrothed, u brave mull- iim yon can see by the decora tion on Ills breast." .'And by that on my face, too," added poor Tauase, with a sigh. Hut never was there such a rousing wedding iu those parts before. Folks came from far and near, and scolded beautiful I 'si una for hav ing taken a blind husband. But she, all bappincHH, only smiled, and answered M am courageous aud strong, and I can work for both of us." As for the mountain they mi w burning that night, the people ever after called it 'The burnt Jtock," aud the hunters who climbed it in pursuit of the chamois swore that they had found the rock chauged into coal.

If you waut people tu do right, set the example. If the world owns you a living, pull off your coat mill gi t it. It is easier to forgive another thau it is tu ask forgiveness. Auger is the gust of wind that blows out the light of holiness. Reverence for old ago is necessary to prove that any man is a gentleman. People shiiulil be pious, but piety does not uieaii exclusion from ull pleasure. If you want others to rospeot you treat everybody with politeness aud deference. The man who loves not his church has not religion enough to save more than seventeen souls, The church member who uses the church fur world gain has a through tick et nn the fast mail for shcol. It is evrryboih's duty to dross decent, but it is not not right to dress beyond your means it is not honest. That is right young man, be as dirty and obscene as possible if you want to make people think of you as a hug. The child who respects not the parents who laised him, is too mean and degra ded lot honest pinple to nsso'-iate with him. If you cheat your neighbor every day in lit w ', d m't thin'; It ir I o, lii.n for not having any faith in your long winded prayers. A religion that means only outward show, is worse than no teligion at all. Il (s debasing ho cause of the Lord to the inure otfeotuallv serve th.- tl.-.il iu. If you find fault with other people about the way they do their work, do your own better than they do theirs. If you don't the thing fur you to do is to keep your mouth shut. A tSII.VIM VOU I There is uo s,wer of hive so hard to get nnil keep as a kind voice. A kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may be rough in flesh aud Usui, yet do the work of a soft heart, and do it with a soft touch. But there is no one thing that love so much needs as a swe.tt voice to tell what it tu 'tins and feels; ami it is hard to get ami keep in the right tone. One must start in youth, aud boon the Watch night anil day, at work and play, tti get and keep a voire that shall speak at all times the thoughts of a kind heart. Itut this is the time when a sharp voice ia it tu be got. You often hear boys say words at pltty with a sharp, quick tono as if it were the snap of a whip. When one of them gets veitsl, yon will hear a V.iiwC that SJtlTirJ? 3". if 'I w. mad im ,f a snarl, and a bark. It is often in youth that one gets a Voice aud a tone that is sharp, and it sticks to him through life, and stirs up ill-will and grief, and falls like a drop of gall on the sweet joys of home. Watch it day by day as a pearl of great price, for it will be worth more to you in the days to come than the best pearl hid iu the sea. A kind voioe is to the heart what light is to the eye. It is a light that siuga aa well as bines. Train it to sweet tones now, and it will keep in tone through lite. fcftiu BurrM. The monument erected to the memory of Major Andre by Cyrus W.
