Not painlessly doth God re-caat
Aud muuld nncir tho nation.
Hot burae tho firo Where wrongs expire,
Nor spares the hand That from tho land

Tho hand-breath cloud thc sages feared.

THE MASTEE THIEF-
FROM   TALES    OF    THE  NOJiSE.
Once npon a time there was a poor cottager who bad three sons. He had notliing to leave tbem when be died, and no uionej witli wbicb to put tbem to a trade, so tbat be did not know wbat to make of tbem. At last be Baid be wonld give tbem leave to take any- tbing eaob liked tbe beat, and to go whither¬ soever tbey pleased, and he wonld go with tbem a bit of tbe way; and so be did. He went witb tbem till tbey came to a place wbere three roails met, and there eaoh of them ohose a road, and their father bade them good-bye, and went back home. I have never beard tell what became" of tbe two el¬ der ; bat as for tbe youngest, be went both far and long, aa you sball hear.
So it fell out one night aa be was going through a great wood that very bad weather overtook bim. It blew, and sleeted, and drove BO that he coald scarce keep his eyea open; and in a trioe, before he kuew how it was he got bewildered, aud could not find either road or patb. Bat be weut on aud on, aud at laat be saw a glimmering light far, far off in tbe wood. So lie thought he wonid try and get to the Ught; aud after a time he did reach it. There it was, iu a large house, and tbe fire was blazing so brightly inside, that he could tell the folks bad nol gone to bed; so he weut Iu and saw an old dame bustling about and zniuding tbe bouse.
" Good evening !" eaid the yoath. " Go^>d evening I" said tbe old dame. " Ualetu 1 ii'a such  foul weatber out of doors to-night," said be. "Soit is," said sbe.
"Can I get leave to have a hed and shelter bere to-night,-' said be.
" You'll get no good bv sleeping here," said tbe old dama; "for if the folk come home and find yon here, they'll kill both yoa and me."
" What sort of folk, tben, are tbey who live bere?" asked the youth.
" O, robbers! And a bad lot of tbem, too," said tbe old dame. " They stole me away wben Iwas little, and have kept me as their honse-keeper ever since."
"Well, forall that, Ithink I'll just goto bed," said tbe youth. '* Come what may, I'll not stir out at uigbt in such weather."
"Very well," said theold dame; "but if yoa stay, it will be worse for yoa."
With tnat the youth got into a bed wbioh stood there, but be dated not go to sleep, and very soon after in oame tbe robbers; so the old dame told them how a stranger fellow had come iu wbom she bad not been able to get out of the bouse again.
"Did you see if be bad any money ?" said the robbers.
" Sucb a one as be bave money T' said tbe old dame, " the tramper I Why, if be had olothes to bis back, it was as mnch as he had."
Then the robbers began to to talk among themaelves what they sbonld do with him; ifthey should kill bim outright, or wbat else they sbonld do. Meantime, tbe youth got np and began to talk to tbem, and to ask if tbey did not want a servant, for it might be that he would be glad to enter their service.
" Oh," BaU tbey, "if you have s mind to lollow the trade that we follow, you oan very well get a place here."
"It'a all oue to ma what trade I foUow," said the youth; " for wben I left bome, fath¬ er gave me leave to learn auy trade I ohose." "Well, have yoa a mind to steal?''said the robbers.
" I don't care," said the youth, for no donbt he thought it would not tako long to leam that trade. Now tbere lived a man a little way off who
I what he was going to do, ao they said to the yonth, if he w«n good to steal the ox from the msn by the way withoat his knowing it, ¦nd withoat doing him any bum, they would give him leare to be their serving man.
Well: the yoath sefbff, and toiik with him a pretty sli^e, witli aaiiTer buckle on it, whioh lay aboat ths hooM, and he pat the eboa in the toad along whioh the man was going with his ox; and when he had done tliat, he went andhidhimself wider a bash. So when the man oame aiong he saw ths shoe at onoe.
" That's a nioe shoe," said he. " If I only had the fellow to it, I'd pnt the old dame in a good bamor at ouoe." For yoa most know he tiad an old wife, so cross and snappish, it was not long between eaoh time that she boxed his ears. Bat then he bethought him that he ooald do nothhig witb the odd shoe anleas he had the fellow to it; so be went on his way and let tbe shoe lie on ths road.
Then the yoatb took ap tbe shoe, and made all the hsate be ooald to get before tbe man by a abort oat ttuoagh tbe wood, and laid it down before bim in the road again. When the man oame along with bis ox, he got quite angry with himself for being so dull as to leave tbe fellow to the shoe lying ia the road, instead of taking it witb bim; so be tied tbe ox to the fenoe, and said to himaelf," I may jast asweU rtm baok and piok up tbe other, and thea I'll have a pair of good shoes for my old dame* and so, perbaps, I'll get a kind word from her for once."
So be set off, and honted and hiuted np and down for tbe shoe, bat no shoe did be find ; and at length he had to go baok witb tbe one he had. But meanwhile the youth bad taken the ox and gons off with it; and when the man came and saw tbat his ox was goae, he began to ory and bewail, for he was afraid hia old dame would murder him outright when ahe oame to know that liis ox was lost. Bat Jnst tben it oame aoroas hie mind tbat he would go home and take the second ox, and drive it to the town, aud not let the old dame know anything about the matter. 80 he did this, and went home and took the ox withoat his dame's knowing it, and set oS with it to the town. But the robbers knew all about it, and they said to tbe youth, if he could gel this ox, too, withoat the man's knowing it, and with¬ out bis doing him any harm, he should be as good as any of them. If that were all, the yonth said, he did think it a very hard thing. This time he took with him a rope, and hung himself np under the arm-pita to a tree rigbt in the man's way. So the man oame along witb bis ox, and when he %aw suoh a sight hanging there, he began to feel a Uttle qneer.
" Well," aaid he," whatever heavy thonghta you had who have banged yoarself np there, it oan't be helped; you may hang for what I oarel I oan't breatho life into you again;" and with tbat be went ou his way witb the ox. Down slipped the youth from the tree, aud ran by a foot-path, and got before the man, and hnng himseU up right in his way again.
" Bless me I" said tbe man," were you reallv ao heavy at beart that you hanged yourself np there—or ia it ouly a pleoe of witchcraft that I see hefore me ? Ay, ay \ you may hang for what I care, whether you are a ghost or wbat¬ ever you are." So he passed on with his ox. Now the youth did jnat as be had done twice before; he jumped down from tbe tree and ran tbroagh tbe wood by a foot-path, and hung himself right in the man's way again. But when the man saw thia sight for the third time, he said to himaelf,—
"Well: tbia ia an ugly buamessl Is it likely now that they shoald have been ao beavy at heart as to hang themselves, all these three ? No I I oannot thmk it is anything else than a piece of witchcraft that I see. But now I'll aoou know for certain; if the otber two are still hanging there, it mnst be really so; but if they are not, then it oan be notbing but witchcraft that I see."
So he tied np bia ox, and ran back to see if the otbers were still banging there. Eat while he went and peered np into all the trees, the yonth jnmped down and took hia ox and ran off with it. When tbe man oome back and fonnd hia «x gone, he was in a aad plight, aud as auy one might know, without being told, be begau to ory and bemoan ; but at last he oame to take it easier, and so he thought,—
" There's no other help for it than to go home and get the tliird ox withoat my dame'e knowing it, and to try and drive a good bar¬ gain with it, so that I may get a good sam of money for it"
So he weut horae and eet ofi with the ox, aud his old dame never knew a word about tbe matter. But the robbers they knew all aboat it, and tbey aaid to the yoath, tbat if he oould ateal this ox as well as the other two, then be should be master over thewboie band. Well, the yonth aet off, and ran intothe wood, and aa the man oame by with his ox he eet up a dreadfnl bellowing, jast like agreat ox in the wood. When the man heard that, yon oan't think how glad he was, for it seemed to him that he knew the voice of his big bullock, and he thought now be could find both of them again; so he tied up the third ox, and ran off from the road to look for them in the wood ; bat meautime the youth went off witb the ox. Now, when the man came back aud found he had lost this ox, too, he was ao wild that tbere was no eud to his grief. He cried and roared and beat his breast, and, to tell the trutb, it waa many days before be dared go home; for he was afraid lest his old dame eboald kill bim outright on the spot.
As for the robbers, they were not very well pleased either, wben they had to own that the youth waa master over the wbole band. So one day they thonght they would try their bands at something be waa not man enough to do; and tbey aet off altogether, every man of them, and left him alone at home. Now, tbe first thing that be did when tbey were all well clear of the honae, was to drive the oxen ont to the road, so they might run back to the man from wbom be had stolen them: aod right glad he was to see them, as yon may fanoy. Next he took the robbers'horses, snd loaded them with tbe best things he could poaaibly find—gold and silver, and olothes, and other Sne things ; and then he bade the old dame to greet them for him, and to say that now he waa setting off on his travels, and they wonld have hard work to find him again t and with that, off he Btarted.
After a long jonmey he oame to tbe road along whioh he was going wben he fell among tbe robbers; and wben he got near home, and could see bis father's cottage, he put on a nni¬ form which he had fonnd among the clothes be had taken from the robberB, and whiob was made just like a general's. So be drove np to the door as if he were any other great man. After that he went in aud aaked if he oonld have a lodging r No: that be couldn't at any price!
"How ever ahonld I he able." said tbe man, " to make room in my house for each a fine gentleman—I who have soaroe a rag to lie upon, and miserable rags too t"
"You always were a stingy old hunks," sud' tbe youth, " and so yon are still, when yoa won't take yonr owa son in."
" What, yoa my son f" said the man.
" Don't you know me again J" said the yonth. Well, after a little while he did know him again.
"Bnt what have you been tuming your band to that you have made yoarself so great a man in sach haste V
" Ob 1" I'll Boon tell you," said the youth. "You said I might take to any trade I ohose, and so I bonnd myself apprentice to a jack of thieves and robbers, and I've servei^iny time ont, and am become a Maater Thief."
Now there Ured a Squire olose by to his father's cottage, and be had anoh a great bouse, and such heaps of inoney, he could not teU how muoh he bad. He bad a daughter, too, and a smart and pretty girl sbs was. So the Master Thief set hia heart upon bartng ber to
bad three oxen.   One of thess he was to take   ^ife^.^rr ?',T '
to tbe town to sell, and therohbers ^u"^  ^l-^t'^TL'^^^ZlT"^""^
" If be aaks by what trade I get my Uving, yon oan aay I'm a Master Thief."
"1 think yon've lost yoar wits," s^d the man, " for yott oan't be in your right mind wben you thinkof suob staft"
Ho I he hati not lost hie wils. His. father mast and shoald go to the aquiie, and ask for his daugliteri
" Nay, but I teU yoa, I dare not go t<|, tbe Squire and be your spokesman; be wbo ia so rioh, and haa ao maoh money," said tbe man. Yea, there waa no help for it, aaid tbe Master Thief; he abonld go whether he wonld or no; and if he did not go by fair means,.b6 wonld soon make him go by foal. But tbe man was still loath to go; ao be atepped after bim, and rabbed bim down with a good birch oudgeb and kept on till the man oame orybig and sob¬ bing inside the Sqah.e's door.
"How now, my man! What ails yonl" said the Squire.
So he told him the whole stoiy; bow be bad three sons who set off one day, and bow be had given them leave to go whitbeisoevet tbey wonld, aild to follow whatever oalUng they ohoae.
" And here now Is the youngest come home, aud has thrashed me tiUhe bas made me come to you and ask for yoar daughter for falm to wife; and he bids me aay besidea, that he'a a Master Tbief." And ao be feli to crying and aobbing again.
"Never mind, my man," aaid the Squire, langhiog; "just go baok and tell him from me that be ma°t prove his skiU flrst. If he oan ateal the roast from the spit in tbe kitchen on Snnday, while aU the family are looking after it, be ahaU hare my danghter. Joat go and teU bim that.
So be went baok and told the youth, who thought it would be an easy job. So he set about and caught three hares aUve, and put them inlo a bag, and dressed himself In soma old rags, nntil he looked so fioor and filthy that made one's hearts bleed to see him ; and then he stole into ths passage at the back door of tbe Squire's honse, on Snnday fore¬ noon, with his bag, jnat like any other beggar boy. Bnt tbe Sqnire himself and aU hla iismi- ly were in the kitchen, watohing the roast— Just as they were doing this ths yonth let one bare go, and it set off and ran round and ronnd tbe yard in front of the honse.
" Oh, just look at that hare I" said tbe folk iu the kitchen, and were aU for mnning ont to oatoh it.
Yea, tbe Sqnire saw it mnning too. " Oh, let it run," aaid he; " there'a no nse in think¬ ing to oatoh a bare on the spring."
A littlo while after the yonth let thesecond hare go, and they saw it in the kitchen, and tbongbt it waa tbe same they had seen before, and alill wanted to run snd oatoh it; bnt tho Squire aaid again it was no nse. It was not long before the yonth let the third hare go, and it set off and ran ronnd and roimd the yard, as tbe others before it. Now they saw it from .the kitohen, and stiU tbougbt it was the same hare ttiat kept on mnning abont, aud were all eager to be ont after it.
" Well, it is a fine hare," said the Sqnire, " come, let's see if we can lay our hands on it."
So ont he ran, and the rest witb bim— away they went, the bare before and they after; so that it was rare fun to see. But mean¬ time tbe yonth took the roaat and ran off with it; and where tbe Squire got a roaat for din¬ ner that day I don't know. But one thing I know, aud that ia that he had no roaat hare, though he ran after it till be was both warm and weary. But when the Master Thief came and aaked for his daughter as he had promis¬ ed, the Squire put him off again, and aaid,— " You must do one master-piece better still, tbat I may plainly aee wbat you are fit for.— Now, I have twelve horses in my Btable, and on them I will put twelve grooms, oue on eaoh. If you are so good a thief aa to steal the horaea from under tbem I'll see what ^ can do for you.
. " Very well, I dare say I oan do it," aaid tbe Master Thief; " but shaU I reaUy hare your daughter if I can!"
" Yea, if you can, I'll do mj ileal for yon," aaid the Sqnire.
So the Master Ttiief set off to s shop, and bonght brandy enongh to fiU two pooket flasks, and into one of them he put a sleepy drink, but into the other only brandy. After that he hired eleren men to lit in wait at nigbt, behind tbe Squire's stable yard ; and laat of all, for fair worda and a good bit of money, be borrowed a ragged gown and oloak from an old woman; and ao, with a staff in hia band, and a handle at hia back, he Umped off, as erening drew on, towards the Squire's stable. Jnat as he got there tbey were watering the horsea for the night, and had their banda full of work.
" What the devil do you want ?" aaid one of tbe grooms to tbe old woman.
" Ob, oh I hutetu I it is so bitter cold," aaid she, and shirered and shook, aud made wry facea. " Hutetu I it is so cold, a poor wretch may eaaily freeze to death;" and witb tbat abe fell to shivering aud ahaking again.
"Ohl for the love of Heaven, oan I get leare lo stay here awhile, and sit inaide tbe stable door?"
"To the deril with your leare," said one. " Pack youraelf off thia minate, for if the Sqnire seta hia eyea on yon, he'U lead ns a pretty dance."
"Ohl the poor old bag of bonea," said anotber, whose heart took pity on her, " the old bag may sit inaide and welcome; snob a one as she can do no barm."
And the rest, aome said sha shonid atay, and aome she shouldn't; but wbile they were quar¬ reling and minding the horsea, aba crept farther and farther into the Btable, tiU at last she sat herself down behind tbe door: and when sbe had got so far no one gare any more heed to her.      »
As the nigbt wore on, the men found it rather cold work to sit ao atiU and qniet on horseback.
"Hutetn! it is so devilish cold," said one, and beat his arms crosswise.
" That it ia," said anotber; " I freeze so, that my teeth obatter." " If I only had a quid to chew," said a third Well I there was one who bad an ounce or two; so tbey shared it between tbem, thongh it waan't much, after all, that eaoh got; and ao they chewed and apat, and spat and chewed This helped tbem somewhat; bnt in a Uttle while tbey were jnst aa bad as erer.
"HutetuI" said one, and shirered and shook.
"Hutetu I" said tbe old woman, and shiver¬ ed so, tbat every tooth in her bead chattered. Then abe pnlled ont the flask with the brandy in it, and her hand ahook ao tbat the spirits splashed about in tbe flask, and then she took such a gulp that it went " pop" in ber throat. " What's that you're got iu your flask, old girl ?" aaid one of tbe grooms.
" Oh I it's oniy a drop of braudy, old man,' aaid she.
" Brandy I WeU, I nerer 1 Do let me have a drop," screamed tbe wbole twelre, one after anotber,
" Oh 1 bnt it is such a little drop, mumbled the old womau, " it will not even wet your months round." Bnt they muat and would hare it; there wsa no help for it j and so she puUed ont tbe flask with the sleepy drink in it, and put it to the flrst man's lips ; then she shook no more,'bnt guided the flask so ttiat each of them got what he wanted, and the twelfth had not done drinking before the flrst sat and snored. Then the Master Thief threw off his beggar's rags, and took one groom after tbe other so softly off their horses, and set tbem astride ou tbe beams between the stalls; and BO be called his eleren men, and rode off witb tbe Sqnire'a twelre horses.
But when tbe Squire got up the next mom¬ ing, and went to look after hie grooms, they had jnat begun to come to; and some of tbem feUto spurrbigthe beams with their spora, tUl the spUnters flew again, and some foU olf and some atiU bong on and sat tbera looUna Uke fools. ^
"Hoi ho I'! said tbe Squire. «Iaee rery weUwbo baijbeen here; butaa for yon,a pretty set bf Uookheads you mnat be to sit hers ud lat tita Master Tbief steal tbe borses from twtweenUronr legs."
So theyalljigot a good latherinjg beoause they .Iiad not^iept a sliarpeiJookoat.
Farther on IP theday oamethsMasterTbief again, and tol{l bow be liad managed the mat¬ ter, and asketil for tbe Sqaire's dangbter, aa be bad proml>ed|j butthe Sqnire gare bim ons hnndred doUJira down, and saidhe mnst do aometbing better aliU.
"Do you tiynk now," saidhe, "yoo oan steal the horaa from me while I am out riding onhiaback?"|i
"0,yeal I dSmasy I oonld," aaid tbe Maater Thief, " if I ^(lere reaUy aore of getting your dangbter."
WeU, well,|jhe Squire would see what be .could do; an^j be told the Master Tbief a day when lie woali{l be taking ja ride on a great oommon whe^e they drilled the troopa. So the Maater Tliief got hold of an old wom-oot jade of a mate, and set. to work, and made tiaoea and oollai ofwitttea and broom twi^, and brought aj; old beggarly oart and a great cask. After that be told an old beggar woman, he would gire ten dollara if ahe would get in¬ side the aaak,iBnd keep her mouth agap over the taphole, ii|to whioh he waa going to stick his flnger. N^i Iiarm should happen to her; she etmuld on]y be driren about a little; and if he took hia linger ont mora than once, ahe was to tiara tau dollara more: Then he threw a few raga and tatters orer himself and atnffed himself out, <(nd put on a wig and a great beard of goals ihair, ao tbat no one conid know turn again, anii aet off for the common, where the squire ha^j already been riding about a good bit. Whim he reaohed the place, he went along BO aoftly and alowly that he scarce made an inch of way: " dee np t Oee np 1" and ao he went on a l[ttle; tben he stood atock stUl, and BO went ori a little again; and altbongh the paoe waa bd poor it nerer once came into tbe Squire's bead that this oonld hs the Master Thief.
At last the Sqnire rode npto bim, and asked if be bad seen any one lurking abont in the wood thereabojits.
"No,,' said the man, "I haren't seen a sonl."
Hark ye, ))pw," said tbe Sqnire, "if yon haro a mind to'iide into the wood, and himt abont and see [f yon oan fall npon any one Inrking abont there, yon ahall faare the loan of my hone, a^id a shilUug into tbe bargain, to drink my health, for your pains."
"I don't eee ihow I oan go," aaid the man, " for I am goinj; to a wedding with tbis cask of mead, I harji been to town to fetch, and here the tap U^ faUen ont by the way, and so I mnst go along holding my finger in the taphole."
" Eide off," sfid the Sqnire; " I'U look after yonr horee and oaak."
WeU, on theip terma the msn was wiUing to go; bat he begj^ed tlie Squire to-be quiok in putting his flnger intothe taphole when he took his own ojft, and to mind and keep it there tUl be oaine back. At laat the Squire grew weary of atanding there wilh his flnger in tbe taphole, bo he took it out.
"Now I sb^Jl hare ten dollars morel" screamed the o| d woman inside the cask: and then the Squire;saw at once bow the land lay, and he took hiijiself off home; bnt be had not gone far before; they meet him with a fresh horae, for the Master Thief had already been to his house, ai|d told them to send one.
The day aftei', he oame to tbe Squire and wonld tiare bis daughter, as be liad giren his word; but the inquire put him off again with flne worda, and;he gare bim two himdred dol¬ lars, and aaid Ijje nust do one more maater- plece. If he ooold do lhat he ahould hare her. Weli, weU the jVaater Thief thought he could do it, if he onlj^knew what it waa to be.
Do yon thirjk now," said the Squire, " you oan ateal the abeet off oar bed I Do yon think yon could do that i"
"ItshaU be ilone," said the Master Thief. " I only wish 1: was aa sure of getting your daugbter."
So when the night began to fall, the Master Thief went out:and out down a thief whohung on the gallowfi^ and threw bim across his shoulders, and serried bim off. Then he got a long ladder a id aet it up againat the Squire's bedroom window, and sooUmbed np, and kept bobbing the deijd man up and down, just for aU the world liJFe one tbat was peeping in at the window.
"That's thei Master Tbief, old laaa I" aaid
the Sqnire, andj gare hia wife a nudge on tbe

" You must do as yon think best, dear," said tlis wife. So the Squire got ont of hed and went down ataira, and he had acarce pnt his foot ont of tbe door before the Master Thief stole in, (ind went np ataira to hia wife.
" 0 yes, I only jnat pnt him into a hole, and threw a Uttle euth orer him. It ia enongh that he ia out of sight, for it is snoh a bad night ont of doors; by-and-by I'll do better. But just let me hare tho sheet to wipe myself with—he was ao bloody—and I made myself in anoh a meaa with bim.

A STORY FOR THE IITTIE FOIKS.
The Tliisfles ill the Rose-Qarden.
Out on the aubnrba of a oerUin oity you wiU flnd many beantifnl gardena and great marble boases. Bat along the broad, winding areunea Iliare aeen acorea of ragged little children gnawing away at the crusts and bones tbat tbey held in theh: handa. Poor tbinga I The most of them had no fathera or motberB, and it is uo wonder tbat tbey bada bard time of it In this world.
Not far from one of tbe flnest manaiona was a very high waU. It was very old, too, and seemed ready at any moment to tumble to the ground. Bnt tbat old wall was alive I When the fresh rain came pattering down npou it, and the bright aun aboue npon its hundreds of beautiful flowera, they tumed np their smUtng faces and aeemed to aay:
" Rain and anu, we tbank you for your kiuduess."
Eight on the top of the waU there grew a large thiatle, which apread out its roots and branches as proudly aa Ifthe whole oitybelong- edto it. But near by was a large garden of roses whioh its owner cnltivated with great oare and attention.
Many poople were in the habit of risltlng the rose-^garden, and ifany one had erer been there once, he was always anxions to go baok agahi. But no one took any notioe of the thiatle ttmt grew on tbe old waU. Erery¬ body oaUed it a miserable weed, and tbat waa all tbey aald abont it.
"I would Uke to know," said tbe thistle one day to some of ita friends who dwelt in tbe neighborhood," why it is that we hare to Ure iu the verjf worst place In tbe suburbs of tbis great city. No trareller erar comes to see ns,ex- cept the little sparrow who hops abont among ns to pick up some aoattering seeds. Orer there in the garden the gay roses apread out their leares every snmmer, and each one of them leads a liappy, aocial life. Not only do the bntterflies and grasaboppera flatter aroand among them, bnt singing birds are keeping np a continual concert for their apecial entertain¬ ment. Besides all this, many people, both old and yonng, atay there untUlate every evening, and paaa hundreda of compliments on the roaes. If I should get oue such compliment, I would remember it aa long as I live."
"As far as I am concerned," replied the bright waU-flower, " I am perfeotly contended with thia place. We have the flneat riew in tbe world. Look away orer yonder at the towns and cllies and mountains. And we dou't get our rain second-handed. It comes lo ns flrat, and when we hare waahed onr faces in it we give It orer to other people. And our large old friend, tbe wUlow, always protects ns from the storms of winter and the heat of anmmer. Ohl how oan anybody be un¬ happy in such a beautifal place aa we lire In 7"
But the proud aud diacontented thistle an¬ swered: "You are a rery dull person, aud it I2 not aurpriaing thst you talk aa yoa do.— Thla ia the nght plaoa for you-1 would like to know what kind of appearanoe such an in¬ significant being as yon would make in tbe roae-garden. But I, wbo am so tall and hand¬ some, I deserre a better place for a house than this old waU."
" Well, well," rejoined tbe wall-flower, "we won't get angry on the subject. Bot I hsve heard of many plants who live in worae places than we do. The old sparrow who viaita ua sometimes lias ofteu told me about them. He says they grow down in dark rales, in the old stumps and on the banka of fllthy ponds wfaere the ducks swim. He ia a great travel¬ ler, yon know, aud he gare me a pieoe of his experience the other day, in wbicb he aaid that on one occaalou when he very fooliahly flew tbrough an open window into a rich man's dinlng-ball, he saw a number of plants wbioh are always Bbnt out from the fresh shower, the bright sun and tbe bracing air."
" What are these ridiculoua flowers com ¦ pared with me ? I am of noble parentage, aud are aU obscure creaturea. No, I deserre to lire in the rose-garden. I know that I am getting old, but if I am too old to begin life again, I ahaU take good oare that my ohUdren -ahall bare a better home ttian I hare. Tbe next time the old aparrow oomea tbis way, I will get him to take aome of my ripe seeds aud plant them where they can bloom among the roaes, and thus enjoy good society as long as they lire."
So spoke the thistle. But the sparrow, who was aitting np at tbe lop of the great old willow, heard erery word he said. And when he listened as long as he could, he ahouted down:—" You thick-beaded fool, don't yon auppoae tbat you and your ohildren would tie deatroyed if you were found In the roae-gar¬ den ? I am afraid you wiU nerer hare sense enongh to be contented witb your lot. If this plaoa is not good enoagh for yon I wUl take aome of yonr seeds and aow them along the oonntry road. You need not be afraid that the acbool-chlldren wUl injnre them there."
" Oid talker, wben I want yonr advice I wiU aak you for it. WUi you, or wiU you not, do wbat I wish yon f"
" No," auswered the sparrow, " and yon wiU some day find out tbat I am right."
Just tben a riolent atorm aroae, and tbe wind blew the dnst into ereiybody's eyes. The barefooted chUdren ran throngb the streets, and their rags flnttered in the gale. The old sparrow flew off to his Utile nook, aud all the plants were almost frightened to deatb. The roses loat many of their bright learea, and the thistle on the wall waa the only one who enjoyed the atorm.
" 0 Mr. Wind I" exolalmed the thiatle, "bow rery kind yoa are iu coming juat at this time I Take some of my good aeeda and bear them over to the roee-garden. By dobig ao you wiU not only aocommodate me, but all the aria¬ tooracy of the world."
Inatead of making sny reply the wind blew a great deal harder. It ahook tbe thiatle with aU its might, and ia a moment it was wafting a. whole flook of aeeds over inlo the garden. They feU right down Into the beat rose-bed tbere.
Wben the wind calmed down the heary rain oame, and soon tbe thistle-seeds were in the gronnd.
"How kind ia tbe rain I" aaid theirmotber, "it has oome at the right timebecauBe Itlorea my ohildren."
Wind and rain and sun did aU they could for the thialle-aeeda. One day their mother aaid to her neighbors:—" Be patient, friends and it wUl not he long before my dear cbildren wUl outgrow erery rose in the gardeu."
So thought the thiatle, bnt tbe old sparrow whispered to hia Uttle son:—" Yon bear that. pride always comea bofore a f»U."
Antnmn came, and aU the birda exoept the old aparrow took their departure for a warmer home. The gardener apent a whole day in ttie garden, and by aunaet he bad wrapped aU the roses np in straw to kesp them comforta¬ ble throngh the winler. All the plants on the waU began to weep becanse tbey wera on tbeir death-bed. I mean aU exoept tbe thistle, for when it Uy down to take ita. winter: rest, it said: "IshaUcOeepqaieUy, forlknowtbat my CbUdren wiU be oared for.   Ob 1 bow hap¬
py I aliaU be wben I wake np from my long winter Bleep I".
Winter came and went away again. Tbe snow melted, tbe wind blew softly^ and aU thatrees:andbaahea were pnttfaig fbrth tbefr buds. The old thistle on the waU-faad its abarfs of Wesalngs, for it waa: oorered rwitb bright new learea.
; It looked: curioualy around to aee if the worldwaa the same that it'was Iaat antnmn. What was; tbe thistle's aatoniahment to find aome of her own ctiUdren growing on the top of the waU 1 Inatead of bebig glad ahe waa rery angry, and aaid: "Thinga hare come to a great pasa I I can't depend npon anybody. I beUered that tha wind- would take aU my ohUdren orer into the rose-garden, bnt to my borror I flnd some of tbem growing here.'!    .     -
"Nerer mind, motber," said one of tbe ohUdren. "The snn stiines very warm and bright np here. Beaides, we are aU aa liappy bere as we would be anywhere iu tbe world." . "Foollab oblldl" anawered tbe old thiatle, "yon WiU nerer come to mncb. Bat your brothers and aisters orer In the roae-galden will be the pride of my tieart. How tbe world will aduure them I"
So thought mother thiatle, bat the old gardener was of a reiy different opinion.
One moming,aa the sun was rising abovethe monntain-tops, he said to tiis asaiatant:— " Come, Hana, get yoor spade and lioe. Fine day Jor working in the garden I It ia high time we bad taken the atraw from the roses."
They paaaed down the winding paths untU they reached tbe end of the garden where the large rose-bed was.
"Eee here," said Hans, aa soon as hs had taken down his spade and boe from his ahoul¬ der, " wtiat kind of plants are these ?"
"What planta?" said theold gardener.— **They bare no busineaa here ifthey are not roses. Let me see. Thistles—miserable this¬ tles 1"
He no sooner uttered these words than be stretebed fortb bis rough hand and said:— " Away with yon 1 you don't belong in a rose- garden ?" So be pnUed tbem up by the roots witbout any mercy, and as be threw them away the wind took them up and carried them lo the top of the oldwaU, and laid them down at their mother's feet.
When the old thiatle aaw her obUdren so suddenly destroyed, her heart was ahnost broken.
"Now," said the aparrow, "I think yon osn aee that I was rigbl. Me teho tcill not hear mtist be made to ftel. Yououghttobe thank¬ fnl that aome of your ohlldren are atUl Urlng.'.
Tbe next day the sparrow publiahed notlcea of a lecture which he intended to deliver that evening at tbe top of the old wUlow-tree. His anbjebt was, tbe thistles in the rose-garden. All the birds oame to hear him, for he was a rery celebrated speaker. I shaU nerer forget the closing words of tiis lecture:—"Alasi Ihere are too many people in thia world wbo are just like the mother thlBlle. They are al- taays trying to make their children tcealthy and honorable, little thinking that ihe rose- garden is a dangerous place. And I vjotild there were mote little people like the young thistles in the wall, contended with their lot and making the best ofevery sorrow."

BIRTH-DAY REVERIES.
BY 8. «.  B.
Years I years 1 what gray garlands are ye wearing for heart and brow, striring with your oold flngers—from whoae ohill clasp the warm Bouistarts and shirers—to untwine the roaeate- hue of yore.
Yet theae eame oold fingera that are daily trying the tension of our heart-atringa, are alao laying up atorea of strength and nourishment for the untried energies; collecting tbe saps of cmde thonght. and ambition for dissemination throughout the aoul by reflection and aciion. And happy they, who, as the years unfold their Ufe scroll, inaorlbe thereon noble deeds, that wiU perpetuate a prototype ofthe fearless aoul, in atarorowned memoriea, long after tbe clayey tenement has subsided into the mould from whicb it waa formed;—tbat wiU leave aweet musio echoing on tbe shorea of time long after the bark with ils fraU singer has gone down amid the moaning of dark billows.
But thrice miserable they, who ait witb hands supinely folded ; their sleepy souls nod¬ ding at aU the glittering psgeanti^ of Ufe he¬ fore them, witb scarcely hnmanity enongh to feel thankful for the glorious gift of being tbat is rouchsafed unto them—for the fearful maj¬ esty of a orowned soul with its forms of peer- leaa beauty ; its robed memoriea ; and its cor- onelled vassals, Failh, Hope and Love, flitttog in and out Ils unseen ohambers: with Boarcely humanity enongh to mourn over the wrecked beauty of that inner temple wbioh their negleot haa effected.
Birth-day anniversaries 1 how they whisper to the heart of daya and houra forerer gone; of Bhadowa and aunahiue that hare chased each otber orer the palh of our life.
At twenty we look back on the rose-hedged landscape ot childhood, with regret—to the future witb bright anticipations: at thirty, we search sbudderingly for tbe furrows the years bare plonghed on brow and heart—aud drop a lear orer the monuments our youth had raised to buried joys.
At forty, we count the sllrer Unes gleaming in our onoe bright tressea—wiihout trembling; and with eyes oaat, not to tbe future, but back on the Herculaneum of our youth, bathed iu the aad moonlight of memory, we toller along the rest of the way to the grare, glad at last to lay down tbe trarel-wom frame in its peaceful shadow.
