‘All right, Beil, sa ; d Oiland . ‘bmlth

And I did so reproach myself for not j

I saved lii- life: fur oh, how bad l.e was! |

A Keiuarkabte Boy.
I Farmer Bogles was a veraci 11s old
j codger. If there was anything he de-
I lighted in, it was to secure the attention
j of'some one while lie spun a yarn about
! Ihe wondi-iful ’cute css of |iis son Tom.
; Ti m was his idol—his hero on every < c

A (story of War.
The Paris Oaulois tolls the following j
story:
Madame P„ graMtlanglitcr of General
Ondinot, rdhtatnod in a corner of her
ch.ilo.iu •while the rest of it was occupied
by the Prussians. Oh their depa hire
the commandant of the party waited o t
) Madame P. and thanked her for herltos
pitility. ‘Fir.’ she replied, you have
i nothing to tli;itik me I or. At victor, you
had the p- wer es entering mw house, and
you availed y utrself of it.’ ‘Madam,’
said tbo German, ‘I had a particular re
gard fur you, us lam well atvaro you
are the grauJ-daughter of General Ou
dinot.’ Madame P. drew herself tip,
| Yes, sir, I am, 1 still keep a letter,
| written by Germans to my grandfather,
| in testimony of his probity, mid thank
ing hint for his Imnorable conduct- He
was at. that (into Governor of Berlin. In
those days conquerors did not carry off
clocks.’ The I'rusdatt officer bit his lips,
frvavned and retired. A quarter of an
hour later he sum moped the mayor of
cut bttle ham'et, nmhfe ordered him at
(ifree to raise :55,000fr, us ransom fur the
Cown. The wretched village did not
possess half the sum demanded, and the
miserable mayor tore off to tell Madame
P. ‘Very well,’she remarked, ‘I will be
l responsible for the money. Refer hint
I to me.’ In a short time the commandant
j app-ared and asked for the money
; Pointing to a closed secretaire the
French woman assured him flint the
money was there, and added, ‘You may
take if. 1 wish to see you break upon j
my things. Tike it. The commandant i
slunk away. If tin's sloty lie true, the |
Germans have more bashfulness than j
they get credit for.

night a stranger came to tho landing
and wanted to be rowed across to Go w

and the wind blew a gale. Not a boat
man c mid be found who would leave.
The landlord said: ‘There is nobody who
can row you over but Corn. Vanderbilt’
tor he was so called. It was doubtful,
ho said, whether he would do it. Yau
d.-rbilt was found, and, in answer to tho
request, replied: ‘lt’s pretty rough, but
if you’ll give mo ton dollars, lay down
in my boat and not stir, or do just what
1 bid you, I'lftry it.' Lie rowed the man
over and back in safety. As soon os
they landed at Staten Island, tho stran—
gei said: “ Youngjrnan, how would yon
like to ran an opposition steamboat?'
1 Nothing would suit me better,’ wag tho
reply. ‘Have you pluck enough toohey
orders?’ said the stranger. ‘I have,’ was
tho reap use. 'Suppose I was(to toll you
to run into a steamboat, what would
you do? 1 ‘liuu into liar, by ,” The
basgain was sealed amid the storm that
night, on the Island, and Vanderbilt
soon began his well -known career as a
