ROBIN REDBREAST. How the Little Brown Dwarfs Repaid Ellen for Her Kindness. In a small house by the road side lived a woodcutter, his daughter Ellen and his son Thomas. The father and soa went out every day and cut.wood, while little Ellen was at home doing the housework and knitting stockings to sell in the village. One day when it was snowing Ellen made a round circle on the pane of glass to look out. When she looked out, she saw a robin searching for food, and it was almost frozen to death. She took it in and warmed and fed it. That night when the woodcut ters came home she told them, and Thomas said, "It will be quite a feast." But Ellen said, "Oh, no." Then her father said she could keep it. After supper she washed the dishes and went to bed early, for she had to cook breakfast. Next morning when Ellen came down the fire was burning, por ridge cooking and everything done, and Ellen was surprised. When the rest of the family came down, she did not tell them, and when they had gone she went to make the beds. When she got there, they were already made. She came down to wash dishes, and when she got there they were finished. She was sur prised, and it went on the same all dy. That night Ellen thought she would watch. She peeped through the kitchen door and saw a dwarf dressed in brown trousers and a -. red coat. She did not tell any body. It went on every day, and one day the robin sat on the window sill and chirped as if it wanted to get out, for the sun was shining. Ellen let him fly. One day Ellen went to sell the stockings she knitted in the vil lage. She came home at night, her pennies in her pocket tink ling as she sang to the yellow moon. As she cace to the side of the hill it opened like a door. Inside was like a room, in which were many dwarfs like the one which worked-for her all winter. One said, "There is a human being *atching us." They all looked and suddenly rushed to ward Ellen and said, "Did you come to steal our treasure?" She said, "Oh, no." The robin that she fed all * winter rushed thrc~ugh the crowd and said: "Oh,.that is Eli n, whc edme gl' Minter. Cone; let us fill her basket with our treasure' They all ran and filled the basket woh their treasure. She thanked them and walked home, her basket becoming heavier and heavier. She knocked at her door; and her father came to the door and, takin'~g the bas ket, thought it yery heavy. He asked from whom she received the trea&are. He and Thomas were very glad and happy ever after. Ellen never had to work so hard, and Thomas and her father never had to cut wood. Lillian H. Schreiber in Brooklyn Eagle._ For Over Sixty Years.

An imnportant precedent lias just been established b.y the courts at Martin, Te'nn., whier< Miss Frances Copass, a teacLe2 in the Hall-Mloody inst itute, "; discharged recently by, the. trns tees, who claimed that she w;ay going too much in soeiety.

During the trial the trust'e endeavored to show that Min Copass had nomnpany or went out "fully three niy,hts a weak," which they declared was too much. They held that noQ teacher who has a beau on Sunday night, goes to a pedro party on Tuesday .night, and dances or attends a wedding or plays "button, but ton," on Friday nighit can do good work as a teacher, where fore they considered themselves justified in disregarding the con tract.
