It was a child, barefoot and with her dark elf locks hanging in disheveled waves down her back. Straight to the group of which Edith Colby was the centre she came, holding carefully in her hands a wreath of wild flowersâ€"tied wita a faded ribbon. Edith Colby wamâ€" the acknowledge belle of Stanbury, | It Ss_=1d have bee difficult to concieve anything Liore ra iantly fair than was her face; d : Guy Moreland watched the play o?)hé expressive features it was not without a sl ght thrill in the region of a member which through twenty years had never before experienced the like. Ceeuttmim and Wb evid cirl in the oo« â€" The young girl addressed quiety surâ€" veyed the haughty speaker; then, with out any answer, save that look of salm rebuke, she turned and walked away. An angry flash erimsoned Edith Colbys face from chek to chin, and with that flash vanished in Guy Moreland‘s eyes all trace of the bgauty which he had hitherto considered so "Aawless." ©I think, Miss Andrews,‘, she said, "that you take a good deal upon yourâ€" self, I was appointed the manager of the decorations, and I don‘t see how you have the right to interfere." Tears arose in Guy Moreland‘s dark eyesâ€"tears of which his manhood was not ashamedâ€"for she of whom the child spoke was his own dear mother, gathered to her rest a year before. When the oaken door closed upon the little intruder, sweet May Andrews turned to resume her seat, but, coming out from among the group of girls, Edith Colby confronted her. A glow of joy chased away the trouble from the little waif‘s face. "Ob, thank you, ma‘am," she exâ€" claimed unmindful in the presence of her comforter of the bevy of scoroful fashionables who were still laughing among themselves "Mrs. Moreland was so good to the poor! She once gave me a warm dress, so that I could come to Sunday School and she spoke to all us children so kind and sweet. I thought that perhaps up in Heaven she would know and be pleased." "My little girl, do not ery. I will soe myself that your wish is granted. Your pretty wreath shall join the fesâ€" toons above Mrs. Moreland‘s memorial window," mg quietly alone some distance from the others, came forward. Taking the despised wreath in one hand, she laid the other gently upon the weeping child‘s shoulder. The child‘s great, dark eyes flashed with anger, then they softened with a rush of sudden, pashionate tears, She turned to go when, with light steps, Guy, (who, though the girls were entireâ€" ly unconscious of his near vicinity, had been a spectator of the above scene) saw a young girl who had been workâ€" ‘‘Please," she said, as pausing before Edith she held out her little wreath, will you put this somewhere about the window that tells of Mrs, Moreland‘s death, A ringing laugh, which jarred disâ€" cordantly in that sacred place, came from the beauty‘s lips, as with a hasty movement she drew aside her delicate silken robe from contact with the child‘s poor garment. "What a searecrow!" she exclaimed with another lauch. They were chatting in girlish fashion together; and more than once a young man, who was occupied in ornamenting with a fern border the balustrade of the gallery above them, smiled as he listened From his position he could In a knot by themselves were a clusâ€" ter of maideos, their nimble fingers enâ€" gaged in fashioning into various shapes the flowers which lay in brightly colorâ€" ed heaps around them. It was the eve of the annual festival of the Sabbath School, and within its venerable walls were gathered a busy throng of workers. ; Stanbury Church was always beautiâ€" ful; bat it was more so than ever toâ€"day with its wreaths and festooms of fraâ€" grant flowers. A TREASURE FOUNR AND WON Our hearts break to hear Him say Careless child ! I never knew yon ! And from my presence fly away. If we knew what forms were fainting For the shads that we should bring. If we knew what lips were parching For the water we should bring. We would haste with eager footsteps, We would work with willing hands, Bearing cups of cooling water, Planting rows of shading palms. If we knew when friends around us, Closely press to say goodâ€"bye, Which among the lips that kiss us First should ‘neath the daisies lie. We would clasp our arms around them Looking on them through our tears ; Tender words of love eternal, We would whisper in their ears. If we knew what lives were darkened By some thoughtless words of ours, Which had ever lain among them, Like the frost among the flowers, Oh | With what sincere repentings, With what anguish of regret, While our eyes were overflowing, We would ery, Forgive !

It I can no longer sew for our living, I can work some other way with my hands.

Twelve years before she had abducted her nurse(the old woman who had just died) in the hopes of a large reward. But such strict inquiry had been instiâ€" tuted that, fearful lest her crims should be found out and her own punishment follow, the woman had fied to a distant city. In wandering about from place to place, always poor, and sometimes ?;:,l!; scarcely enough to @ggr‘)&;gr t]l)g,t, o‘:nssib;.zB ff;‘\,}"sefifixgle 1t would be i. } «Will Mr. Morehead call at Mrs. Andrew‘s home this afternoon." Once there, that'mygtery was solved and also another of graver import. "Go, May," Mrs. Andrews said; aud though the night was dark, and the neighborhood in which Madge‘s home was located not the nicest, May obeyed. The old woman was expecting her anxiâ€" ously, and as May listened to what she bad to tell she was truly thankful that she had come. That night the old woman died. The next day did not find May in accustomed place, and as Guy noticed her adsence he learned for the first time how desolately vacant life would be should henever see again the face which in those few short months had grown so strangely dear to him. Though he could not help wondering at the strange, brief sommons, Guy lost no time in obeying 1t. _ _At noon the office boy brought a note. It ran thus: "Oh, Miss May, comeâ€"come quickly! Aunt is very ill, and she wants you. She says to hasten, for she has a seeret to tell you which, if she dies, will die with her." Taking May’s'hand in hers, she crie eagerly : Cne evening as May sat reading aloud to her mother, the door was sudâ€" denly opened, and little Madge flew in. It was quite a different Madge from the one we first me; for now the new clothes, though simple, were whole and neat, while the long, dark hairâ€"elf locks no longerâ€"hung in orderly ringâ€" lets over her slight shoulders. And to May, though her innocent heart knew not whyâ€"did not whisper to her that it was because she was be loved and lovedâ€"the world seemed like some fairy realm. Guy Morelaud was not one to do or think things by halves ; and as time went hn he grew to believe that he had found at last a character as faultless as the face which was its signet. t t 2 Copieres bare "What I know of you is very favorâ€" able, Miss Andrews," said the young proprietor, with a keen glance at the sweet, downcast face, with its brown eyes, and sensitive roseleaf mouth, "and as my assistant bookeeper has just left me, I should be glad if you would accept the position her absence has made vacant." ‘"Mother, toâ€"day Mrs. Weston said that she would require my services no longer. This is the last of my patrons, Oh, mother what have I ever done to anybody that they should be so cruel to me?" The old lady stroked soft brown hair tenderly A few months went by, and one day May came in to her invalid mother with a face from which the brave mask had completely fallen,. Kneeling by her side she hid her tearâ€"wet eyes in her lap. _ The she went, closing the door softly, but leaving bebind her , though she knew not, the seeds of that which was to make the happiness of more than one life. ©I think you be one of the angels, Miss," the old woman said one day, as her visitor was going, "but I‘ve been such a sinner that they would scarce be sent to such as me." May paused in the doorway. "Jesus has forgiveness for all sinners who repent," she said, in her sweet, grave voice. ET e is Whenever she could spare time, May went to the dismal room on her errands of mercy. Every object evidenced the direst poverty; and it was no difficult task out of her own few belongings to find some which seemed like an inestimable treasure to the child‘s grateful eyes.

She found little Madge (that was her name) livâ€" ing in a equalid apartment with an old feeble womarn whom she called her aunt. Miss Colby was as good as her word. Hard as it had always been to make both ends meet, poor May now found it harder still, for with all the means within her power Edith Colby tried to poison the minds of those acquaintances who she knew were Miss Andrews, patâ€" rons. 3 3 Colbys charms of person and pocket book. ‘Câ€"vorce, t inatine «t stor ue u â€"Neâ€"tmâ€" to ensue, the B newâ€"found iD;hiS, 3]1(11,'4 its sad her darling‘s § Its sad *Paused, went to him w {’ platnly, in the le: sheet, below you may simply enclo ting card in your thewhole the mos of showing one‘s The exceptien my thatâ€"the visiting .

When Cyrus, the great Persian king, conquered Lydia, Croesus was taken prisoner, _ The conversation he formerâ€" ly had with Solon came to his mind after he was made a captive and comâ€" pelled to give up his vast riches, and he was thoroughly convinced of the truth of that wise philosopher‘s words. However, if we may judge of Croeâ€" sus by the character he bears in history he was a very good king, and worthy of esteem in many respects. His chiefdelight was in literature and the sciences, and his palace was the resort for men of wit and learning. "To what sum," asked Cyrus, "do you think my wealth might have bad amounted, had I given nothing away ? Croesus named an immense sum. Cyrus then ordered a short note to be written to the lords of his court, in which he told them that he had ocâ€" casion for money. In a very short time a much larger sum was brought to him than Croesus had mentioned. "Here are my treasures," said Uyrus, showing the vastâ€"sum to Croesus. "The chests I keep my treasures in are the hearts and affections of my subjects." Cyrus proved conclusively that he was not only as rich as Croeeus but was also a great deal richer. Solon, one of the most celebrated of the Seven Wise Men of Greece, resolyâ€" ed to pay a visit to King Croesus, He accordingly went to Sardis, and was received in a. manner suitable to the reputation of so great a man. The King and his numerous court appeared in all regal pomp and magnificence, but Solon did not show the least surâ€" prise or admiration. CUroesus then ordered all his treasures, his grand apartments, and costly furniture, to be shown to Solon, thinking thus to conquer indifference. After Solon had seen all, he was brought back to the King. Crossus then asked him,"Which of mankind, in all his travels, he had found the most truly happy" King Croesus, of course, thought he would be the one Solon would name, but the answer the philosopher gave him was one in which silver and gold were not takem into consideration. ‘"Why do you not think me the most truly. happy hapry ?" Croesus asked in a tone that plainly showed his displeasure, "King of Lydia," Solon calmly replied, "the life of man seldom exceeds seventy years, and no two days of his life are exactly alike; so the time to come is nothing but a series of various accidâ€" ents which cannot be foreseen. Thereâ€" fore, it is my opinion no man can be estcemed truly happy but he whose happiness Godâ€"continues to the end of his life; I consider \â€"amimemeiness of those who are consta‘mu thousand dangers as uncertain as the crown is to a person who is still engaged in battle and has not yet gained the victory." Solon retired when he had finished speaking. His words displeasâ€" ed Croesus very much. Croesus one day told Cyius that by continual giving he would at last make himself poor; whereas, if he had amassed his great wealth, he would have been the richest prince in the world. Cyrus, king of Persia, looked upon liberality as a truly royal virtue. "My desire," he said. ‘"is to have it always in my power to reward those who serve the public faithfully, and to aid and relieve those who will acquaint me with their wants." Croesus laid great stress on riches, and thought himself happy and great in proportion to his wealth. He thus mistook regal pomp and splender for true greatness and happiness A great many of these presonts were still‘to be seen in the time of Heredotus, "The Father of History," and were worth several millions. Strabo, a Greek philosopher and historian, tells us that Croesus had mines of great value situated between Pergamus and Atarnes, and that he derived groat wealth from the little river Pactolus, the sand of which was gold. His wealth must have been very great, to judge of it by the costly presents he made to the temple of Delphos. "As Rich As Crocsus." Croesus, the last King of Lydia, was born 599 B.C. His name has long been a synonym for very great wealth. It is a common expression, when wishing to convey the idea of immense riches, to say of any one, "He is as Rich as Croesus."
