Recently this custodian nissed One of .the earliest dated of the mor tuary memorials, arid he put all his wits to bscover its whereaboutsfor some time with out success. One Sunday morning he went to his baker -for the customary Sunday ln'cakfast of brown bread and beans. In serving the repast, his eves fell upon some thing unusual on the under face of the loaf "Here lyes ye" in reverse order, which, after some study, he succeeded in decipher-1 nig.

"Marechal, I beg of you to be good enough to read this little madrigal, ami see if yon ever saw a more miserable affair; liecause people have lately learned that I am lond of -verses, . thev bring them to me of all kinds.'' The Marechal, after having read them. said to the King: "hire, your Maiesty judges divinely well of everything. It is true that this is the silliest and most rid K-uloij8 madrigal that I ever-read." , The King liegan to laugh, and said to him, "Is it not true-that the one who made it must have been a great coxcomb?" "Sire, it is impossible to, give him any other name." ' " .' ' . , "Oh, w ell," said the King "f am de lighted that vou have spoken so honestly to mo about it, for I am the one who made it." . Ah !

She was robbing bitterly, and clasping him in her arms, cried piteonslv: "My dflrling, my pet. AVili no one save you? ' It's too hard." He tried to comfort her, Tuit she would not be comforted, and moaned pit eously. He took her upon his knee and clasped an arm arannd her waist, while she clasped him in her arms.

Ill 1 1 fl the lowetl head of her whose life he bad I cansed to be a burden, i n itu a mothers love she forgot it all, his waywardness and his neglect, and clung ' to . him as only a mother could. - This was the saddest of all. She passed oot again soon after. Her heart was - almost broken, ' her step was slow and unsteady as she turned hor face frorn him, on whom she had looked with so much, promise in the years gone by, whose first footsteps she had directed and whoso future she had once looked upon with such hope. She fainted away before she left the jail.

In a church in Trov, N. Y., says the Times of that city, a young ; man who occupied n seat near the pulpit was evidently- greatly. embarrassed when the collection was taken up.

After the service the young man ling- eretl, and, when the congregation had re-i tired, approached tho gentleman who - bad charge of tho collection,, and; who was counting it at the time', aud remarked that ho was a stranger in the citv, that ho was a. moor voiiiirr man. and had. in the hurrv of the moment, put a 310 bill into t ho col i . o t : ; . . r lection basket by mistake for a 1 ;bul. Ho s inquired modestly if it would be Unfair! ask for the return of $9 to him. The1 to as collector, appreciating the strangers cvi dentfrankness and motlesty, looked over tho collection, and, finding the. 10 bill, offered to return it. The stranger declin ed, saying that he meant to contribute 81 , and that, as ho had no small change, lie wonld bo satisfied u S9 were refunded to him. This was proof positive to the trea sorer that the stranger was really honest, and he accordingly gavednm $9, nearly all that Was in the basket, with the excep tinn of the bill, and the stranerer denarted iritli mutivr thinks find ftnold-'ics. After tho treasurer reached home he was struck bv the appearance aniined it closelv. of tho S10, -and ex- It was counterfeit. Ax Ixcidext. A verv well-bred and exceedingly dignified young lady of Buf falo enteruit a lionst s to make a purchase, when she was accosted as follows by-a shrill voice resembling that of an aged lady : "Shut the door; don't' you knovy any better ? It's cold outsule.- Very much overcome with mortificaUon and embaiTassment, she looked aboutfor the speaker, saving : "I'ardon inc, mad am, but the wind blew so, I could hardly close the door. "Well, mind your eyes, miss, and don't do it again," repeated the voice; when, to her great astonishment and amusement, the voung lady discovered that she had been conversing with a well educated and cer tainly verv familiar poll parrot. Evident ly annoyed at the. bird for . deceiving her sof tho young lady, tamed her back to the cage and was intent upon examining some flowers. - S udden I y the same voice, or what seemed to be. said to her : "What - - . . can I do for von. mis ?" ' 'f"If yo' hold your tonguo I shall 1 gratified above all things," replied the young miss, turning around as she spoke, ami discovering the lady roprietor stand ing in her presence.- ? - . .;.
