I hate base undemonstrative people!' extlaimed the doctor, always impatient of tnything incomprehensible. Such eccentricities were almost the inly thins: that ruffled him. And Bertha carley ? She stood still, istenins to his retreating footsteps.

Yes; the room was beautiful. and the sick woman had been moBt comfortably couched and attended She had euff-red much, and Bertha had kept, well the secret that their account at the bank was overdrawn, and they were utterly penni less. But now she was-so desperate in her emenrency that, it seemed as if she mu?t cry nloud. The invalid stirred on her pillow. 'Bertha, dear, are you there?' 'Yes, mother.' Bertha came to the bed and put her young face down beside the wrinkled oue on the pillow. "The doctor says l am string oer~ ter.' 'Yes, dearest mother.' 'You must not tir?* yourself out so now. Stretch yourself hcre'on the bed, poor child, and have a nap. Mab will wait od me.' Th-re was a moment's silence. 'Let her make mc some toast and a cup of nice tea with cream in it. Do you know, dear,' with a faint smile, I think T am actually hungry ?' Still Bertha did not speak. 'Are you asleep, dear Bertha ?' 'No, mamma?I was thinking. Mab has cone away.' she added. I did not think we needed her?only us two--and I will get your lunch.' 'Mabgone? Why, Bertha, there is so much work to do Stop, child?don't look so nervous and harassed. Lie down and rest. I?' 'I must go on an errand, mamma, I'll nor b" gone ovr f?*n minutes.' Ye?, nervous and harassed the girl I looked She tied a vi il tightly overhei | face, and caught up her shawl. In at j instant shp was in the street. ! 'Oh. she said sh*- was hungry !' sh< : sobbed, the tears running down liei !cheeks as she threaded several shor 'Streets. At last she was in the open thor toughfare, and looked abou' her. Right pposi'e was a window full o watch s and j<?w-!r. a> d ab'-ve huri] I three gilt bulls. "That must be the place," murmured Bertha. With ao aching heart she drew a ring from her finger. It was a beautiful ring?a circlet of very large and pure rubies. They flashed like sparks of fire in the sunlight as the girl drew it from her hand. Then she plunged across the street, and with deperate haste unclosed the pawnbroker's door. There was a fat, black-whiskered man smelling of garlic, behind the counter, lie snatched eagerly nt the ring as BerI tha offered it for his inspection. No words could describe the pain with which she saw it seized by his fat btyids. 'This ring ? I will lend you seven do'lars on ir, my dear.' 'S'-ven dollars ? And when I bring you back the money I can have the ring back,' added ^Bertha, earnestly. ^ 'Oh yes. ray t^nr; any time within twelvemonths.' 3 % He handed her the money in silver. Her thin fingers closed over it, but she had r< moved her vail, and stood looking anxiously at the man. 'You will be sure and not sell the riog^sir. I will certainly redeem it before the twelve months are out. 'My name is Bertha Farley,' she added; 'I liv^at No. 870 A?h street.' The old pawnbroker smiled at the unsophisticated air. His customers were i*t u.sualfy to willingly frank atTd cocr^ oiunicaKv*'. _ '? ^ lI will write it down) dry d*ar,v and "give yon a tic\eU You can have the riDg wheh you bring back the money.'

It would buy her dear, sick mother nourishing food But when she reached the store she found that she was still crying softly for her ring. Attain she drew_ down Iter veil. She bought a j steak, nice fresh butter, and a French loaf. She could have hugged the bundles with gladness and gratitude as she received them. , 'Darling mother, your precious life if safe !' she murmured. She ran home, coaxed the fire Unburn ; with a couple of sticks, broiled the steak, made some tea. aod was at the bedside I of the invalid in less than half an hour i ! frotn the time she left, with an appetiz- j iojr repast unon a tray. ^ 'Oh, how nice!' exclaimed.

Sti!! keeping her mother in ignorance of their straitened circumstances, girl daily stole forth during the after noon nap of her invalid, aud went from Khop to simp ouering ner services. Hut business w;is dull; there was more h-lp than occupation, and though many, pleased by her uppearancp, pro? utiseil to give her a chance when times improved, she effected no engagement. Weeks of desperute effort and weary waiting went by. The day came wh>n poor Mrs. Farley, nursed in luxury, and unequal to the emergency, was rc? quired to knuw that actual poverty had overtaken her. At the most meager rates. Bertha obf,.inert II .ifdo nlnin epwiner cnnlicrh to buy thrir daily bread. Beyond this she could accomplish nothing; ind when at last the twelve months were up she could not produce a single dime to redeem her ring.

After the meeting, Tuesday night, of Jeorge B. Mead, Post No. 38, of the Jrand Army of the Republic, an intersting incident occurred. One of the aembers had mado the acquaintance of poor Confederate soldier, and invited im to tho meeting. Tho iong hair nd slouched hat of the Southerner soon ttraeted much attention from mon who ell remembered these pecularities. Many whimpered inquires were made, ut when fho beer and pipes went mnd, it was noticed that the ex-rebel as kept bountifully supplied. Finally lie commander announced that ho uncrstood there was a brotjior soldier in be audience?a brother soldier, howver, who had fought on the other side -and from whom a few remarks would e acceptable. The statement was recived with applaus, and when it ceased be astonished soldier made a few relarks to the effect, that if the tronles resulting from the war had een left to tboso who did the ghting all sectional animosities would ave been buried by this time, and the ntire country in a more flourishing jndition. Af ftm ?Anr>lneinn nf this little sneech was proposed that the lone Confeder* Lc soldier be wolcomed with the 'Grand j krmy cheer' ?a compliment never ten- i ered except to the most distinguished ?est. The cheer was given with great ithusiasm. Immediately after this >e "Liberty of the floor" was accorded y Commander Finley to the comrades F the post, and then ensued a scene hich almost baffles description. A rand fraternal rush was made for the c-rebel. His hand was shaken, tickets ? contemplated excursions, member's usiness and personal cards, and gen a) invitations without number werp irust upon him ; and he was placed i the ranks, behind the Philadelphia nests, and escorted with militrry Dnors and martial music,, to Broadway, jar which thoroughfare lay his temsrary home.

At first it was beating minensc lumps of crimson metal into hicK black sheets; but the supply besoming exhausted, at length it only deicendpd on the polished anvil.

Honor Thy Mother. It was a cold dark night night in winter. The wind blew, and the snow; was whirled furiously about, seeking to hide itself beneath cloaks and hoods, and in the very hair of those who were out. A distinguished lecturer was to speak, and notwithstanding the stortn the villagers very generally ventured to hear him. Willirm Annesley buttoned up to his chin in his, thick overcoat, accompanied his mother. It was difficult to walk through the fallen snow against the piercing wind, and William said to his mother: "Couldn't you walk easier if you took my arm ?" "Perhaps I could/' his mother replied, as she put her arm through his and drew up as close as possible to him. Together they breasted the storm?the mother and the boy who had once been carried in her arms, but who bad grown | up so tall that she could loan on him. They had not walked very far before he I said? "I am very proud to night, mother." 'Pround that you can take care of me ?" she said to him with a heart gushing with tenderness.

An Arkansas Cow. The yield of rnilk from Northern dairy cows is incredible Jto the people in regions where the cattle are raised mostly for bcof and hides. Judge Grant was in Littlo Rock, Arkansas, in attendance on the United States Court. One morning he saw a farmer with a slouch hat and a genuine butternut suit, trying to sell a cow in the market there. It was a large, long horned animal, and the planter was informed by ajman that the cow wonld givo four quarts of milk a day, if fed well. Up stepped the Judge. 'What do you ask l'or that cow ?' 'About ?30. She'll give 4 quarts of milk, if you feed her well.' Said the Judge : 'I have cows on my tarm, not much more than half as big as your coWj which give twenty-five quarts of milk a day.' The planter eyed the Judge sharply i /or a jionreiiX m if trying to remember whether he had ever seen him before or j not, and then asked : 'Stranger, where | do you live ?' 'My home is iD Iowa.' ! 'Yes, stranger, I don't doubt it. There ; was some sogors from Iowa here during I the war. and they was the biggest liars j in the Yankee army. Maybe you are j an officer in one of them regiments ?' A Noble Dane. ' - - - It wa9 during the wars that raged i from 1C52 to 1G60 between Frederick III. of Denmark and Charles Gustavus of Swedon, that after a battle, in which the victory had remained with the Danes a stout burgher of Flensborg was about to refresh himself, before retiring to have his wounds dressed, with a draught from a woodeu bottle, when an imploring cry from a wounded Swede, lying on the field, made him turn round, and eaying, "Thy need i9 greater than mine," he kneeled down by the fallen enemy to pour the water into his mouth, His requital was a pistol shot in the shoul? der from the treachorous Swede. "Rascal," he said, "I would have befriended you, and you would murder me in return. Now will I punish you. I meant to have given you all of it, but ? now you shall only have half." And ? u-K* u:. ir ...at !UriIJb.lIJ? imtl UiUJSCl&y IIW ^aio lug uou to tho Swede. The king, hearing tho story, sent for I tho burgher, and asked him how he.

"Thou deservest to be a noble," the king said, and created him one itnuicl diately. giving him for armorial bear* i ings a wooden bottle piercod with an arrow. i Changing From King to Subject. According to an Arabian paper, Al Janaib, the abdication of King John of 1 Abyssinia, wa9 an act in keeping with ' tho striking romance of his character i on.t ofirm.r MpnphA" IT. who elnimed ! to bo the rightful heir to the crown by ! virtue of his descent from the Queen of ! Sheba, had by his pretensions excited ; the ire of King John, who inarched against him, and, entering the territo: ries of Shoa, prepared to attack Mcnelek i in his capital, Aukobec. A band of | priests, however, met the advancing king, and rebuking him for levying war against his rightful sovereign, summoned him to abandon his sacriligious | enterprise and recognize Menclek. King | John was so affected by their words that, j halting his troops, he entered the city i and in the sight of his army and the j population laid off his crown aud royal i robes and paid homage to Mcnclek, whe i embraced liiin and conferred new dignii ties upon him, besides confirming hiui i iu his orignai princedom of Kasa.
