UE GOT IT.
^ of the most touching things
r e*d in a long time is that story
obber and a poor lone woman in Ohio.
u n robber came to her house at night
J demanded her money or her life.
ghe hadn’t mnoh money or life either,
bat she preferred giving np the former
ntlierthan the latter; so she bronght
iier little store and plaoed it in his hand.
a<! looked it over carefully, to see that
,be didn’t palm off any 20-cent pieces
| ur quarters, and facetiously told her
jt be could credit her for only 94 cents
,trade dollars, chiding her for tak-
in „ them :it their faco valno. “ Haven’t
von anything else of value?” inquired
the |Mild, bad burglar, looking about the
scuiitiiv furnished apartment; “a child's
bracelet, ring, anything will be thank
fully received. ” She had nothing more,
she replied, with a' sigh. A thought
struck him. “ Your husband was a sol
dier, was he not?” She acknowledged
that he was, and was killed in the war.
“Then he must have had a revolver,"
he continued, searching her counte
nance. “ Ah, you grow oonfused; you
stammer; your manner betrays you.
Get that revolver at once and give it to
me.” In vain the woman implored him
to spore that harmless trinket, almost
the sole memorial of the husband she
bad lost She had pawned many things
when in distress, but had always hung
on to that Bnt the robber was unre
lenting. Sobbing bitterly, she went to
s bureau drawer and removed the pre
cious relic, around which clustered so
many tender recollections. “ Must yon
have it ?" said she, advancing with trem
bling step toward him. “ Yes, I must,”
said the robber, extending his hand.
“Well, then, take it,” said she, gently
pressing the trigger for the last time.
There was a loud report, and the robber
tumbled over dead. The community
ought to pension that woman.—Cincin

WHY IUAD STEVENS BECAME A
TEETOTALER.
During the whole time oi his resi
dence in Lancaster Mr. Stevens wss an
uncompromising “ teetotaler.” This is
the history of his resolution to abstain:
While lie was in Gettysburg he waa a
member of a select circle who were ao-
customed to meet around at each other’s
houses and spend the evening in playing
whist and drinking wine and choice
liquors. Cue evening one of the party,
u great favorite, who was cashier of the
bank in G ttysburg, becoming a littlo
inebriated, was escorted Lome by two of
his friends, who, finding his latch-key,
let hiiu in uml left him in the uutry,
suppo.-ing tlnit he could find his way up
stairs. iu the morning when his wife
came down she found him lying upon
the entry floor deud. Ho hod hud on
attack of apoplexy during the night.
When Mr. Stevens lieurd of if ho went
into his cellar with u hatchot, broke opon
the hemis of his wine and whisky barrels,
and would never taste anything of the
sort alterward.

\TBB LITTLE SHEPHERD BOO.
the best of these dogs are worth $200
ox even more. One border, whom we
met at Gold Spring ranch, showed us a
very pretty one that he said he would
not sell for 8500. She had at that timo
tour young puppies. The night wear-
rived we visited his comp, and wero
greatly interested in the littlo mother
and her nursing babies. Amid those
wild, vast mountains, this little neat of
motherly devotion and baby trust was
very beantiful.
While we were exclaiming, the assist
ant herder came to say that there were
more than twenty sheep missing. Two
maio dogs, both larger than the little
mother, were standing about with their
hands in their breeches, doing nothing.
But tile herder said neither Tom nor
Dick would find them. Flora must go.
It was urged by the assistant that her
foot was sore, site had been hard at
work all day, was nearly worn out, and
must suckle her puppies. The boss in
sisted tbit she must go. The sun was
sotting. There was no timo to lose.
Flora was called, and told to bunt for
lost sheep, while her master pointed to
n great forest, through the islge of
which thoy bod passed on their way np.
Blre raised hot head, but seemed very
loth to leave her br.bies. The boss culled
sharply to her. Sho rose, looking tired
and low-spirited, with head and tail
down, and trotted wearily off towurd the
forest I said : •
'• This is too bad."
••Oil, she’ll be right bitch. Hho’s
lightning on stray sheep.”
The next morning I went over to
learn whether Flora had iouiid the
strays. While <ve sere Kpeuumg the
sheep were ret uni.ug, riven by a little
dog, who did not raise tier head nor wag
her tail, even when spoken to, but
crawled to her puppies and lay down by
them, offering the little empty breasts.
She had been out all night, and, while
her hungry babies were tnggiug away,
fell asleep. I have never seen anything
so touching. Bo far os I was couoomod,
•• there was not a dry eyo in the house.’’
How often that scene comes back to
mo—the vast, gloomy forest, and that
little creature, with the sore foot and
her heart crying for her babioa, limping
and croeping about iu the wild caverns
and through the long, dork hours, find
ing and gathering in the lost sheep I
I wonder if any preacher of the gospel
ever searched for lost sheep under cir
cumstances so hard and with such pain
ful sacrifices ? But, then, we must not
expect too much Irom men. It is the
dog that stands for fidelity and sacrifice.
Tho best part of man is the dog that is
in him.—Dio Lewis.
