Why do you not apeak?” His sensitive f-ice was turned re proachfully town: i his father. “You have always told lue how lovely she is. She is little—not taller than my shoul der— I know that.” The old man laid his arm over the lad's shoulders. “You must know now what your blindness would have kept you from knowing,” ho said. “Your mother is not fair and beautiful now in face, but her soul is what God made for a mother. When you can see, look for the face which holds the greatest love. You will not be mistaken. It will be your mother’s.” The great surgeon looked for a mo ment or two into the sightless eyes, and then turned and laid his hand on the father’s trembling arm. “Only God can make him see, my friend,” he said kindly. “Your boy was born blind, and human skill can not help him. ” The blind boy was the first to speak, and he laid his arm around tho sudden ly aged form of his father. “Come," he said, “let us go back to mother..

The Transvaal Boer will eat almost anything in the flesh, fish or fowl line, for all is grist that comes to his gastro nomic mill, and the following mixture is voted most delectable by the majority of the rougher classes: A great square slice is cut off a loaf made of coarse un sifted meal and covered with a thick layer of jam, preferably strawberry. A row of sardines is then placed on top. and the oil from the sardine box is lib erally poured over tho whole. A loud smacking of lips and other manifesta tions of thorough appreciation accom pany the disposal of this delicate bonne bonche. But the unsophisticated Boer only indulges in this luxury when he means to < njoy a special treat, quite re gardless of expense. -Chambers’ Jour nal. Fl.h. The beautiful girl had parted forever from the only man she ever really lovi d. and she was even sadder than was usual with her upon such occasions. They tried to comfort her. “There are always good fish left in th-- if?’ they urged. “Yes, but. when you catch tln-m they turn out to be lobsters ”’ she exclaimed bitterly, thereby showing that after all a person’s hair may curl naturally without rendering a person entirely de void of sense. —Detroit Journal.

They were surrounded by an excited and yelling crowd, not one of whom attempt I to in terfere, and, as usual, there were noy-’ico to be seen. An old lady, carrying a cross handle market basket, came upon the scene, at which time the combatants were on the ground, kicking and punching each other in a most savage manner. The old lady paused only long enough to take in the sit uation. Then she went to work and be labored tho two men about their heads and bodies with her basket. This unexpected and energetic attack to surprised the fighters that, suspending hostilities, they sat up and stared at their assailant in mute astonishment. Then tho ridiculousness of the thing seemed to strike them. They burst into hearty laughter, and, getting up, took their coats and went away, apparently quite friendly, while the old lady retired tri umphantly amid tho cheers of the crowd. —Loudon Answers.
