THAT HORRID RAIN. " Oh, dear!" sighed little Beth, a8 she gloomily looked out of the nursery window one rainy day, " there‘s that horrid old rain coming down as fast as it can; I know it won‘t stop and I‘ll have to stay right here in the house when Iwanted so much to go to Aunt Emua‘s ; it‘s too mean for anything !" " Dear, dear !" sighed the whiteâ€"hairâ€" ed grandma from the depchs of her easy chair, " what a pity the thunder clouds will creep inside !" There were so many things outside just pining for that lovely shower! First came Mr. Duck, who had such funny little red rubbers on his feet, and whenever he walked they made a cunning threeâ€"toed track in the soft, muddy ground. He had been so hot all day, his throat was full of dust, and he could not eat a bite, for the bits of food he picked up tasted as if they had just come from the oven. When he saw the storm clouds gathâ€" ering in the sky he said, " Quack, quack! how glad I am!" and quickly, set to work to oil his clothes so that be might be ready to run about and enjoy the rain. Splash! splash! he went into the puddles, throwing the water in tiny sprays all over him. The pretty yellow buttercups out in the field were hanging their heads unâ€" der the sun‘s scorching rays. ‘ Oh, dear !" they cried, " our roots are dryâ€" ing up, and the tiny baby buds will surely wither if a shower does not come." The frilled caps of the daisies that should have been as white as snow, were an ugly brown color. . . L The dainty pink goblets that Mr. Clover took such pride in keeping full of the richest honey were almost empâ€" ty, and poor Clover bimself hung limp and weak, leaning against a ragweed for support. ; Down came a big raindrop right in a buttercup‘s heart; eagerly it drank the cool liquid. Faster and faster fell the rain. " How lovely!" cried the parched flowers, as they raised their drooping heads and felt the moisture sinking into their green leaves. "Pour, pour! wish it would pour !" croaked a fat little tree frog, who had been hiding under the shadow of a big leaf all day. " My coat is so dry I‘m afraid it will burst unless there is a good heavy shower. i " Yes," replied grandma, " the good Lord knows best what we need, and for sunshine and rain we, too, will give thanks." CONUNDRUMS. I went to France and stopped there. I did not stay there because I did not The sparkling brook sang a happy song as it danced over the white pebâ€" bles: "How fast I grow ! If the rain will only keep falling, I will soon be a river, and ships with white sails will glide over my shiny breast !" (< We think little Beth must have seen how glad the flowers were, for the thunder clouds had rolled away from her face; it was bright and smiling. "Grandma, dear," she said, " I‘m so slad the pretty flowers have had their faces washed! The grass smells so fresh and sweet, and the birds are singing. I was sorry when it rained, bui now I‘m as happy as I can be." _ Ah! the rain bhad given everything outside a new lease on life. go there. I came away from there because I did not go there at all.

Answer. â€"Seven. Think before you strike any creature‘ that cannot speak. The following lii:-i tle s ory is quite true. When I was yourg I worked for a farmer, and was given a span of horses to plow with, one of which was a fourâ€"yearâ€"old colt. The colt after walking a few steps would lie down in the furrow. The farmer was provoked and told me to sit on the colt‘s head to keep him from rising while he wanipped him, to break him of .the notion, as he said. Buf just then a neighbor came by. He said, ‘"There‘s something wrong here, let him get up and let us find out what‘is the matter." He patted the colt, looked at the bharness, and then said: ‘"Look at this collar; it is so long and narrow, and carries the harness so high that when he starts to pull it slips back and chokes him, so tnat he can‘t breath." A And so it was, and but for that neighbor, we should have whipped as good a creature as we had on the farm, because he lay down when he could not breathe. Always remember that all animals are dumb, and cannot make their wants known. Think before you strike any creature that cannot speak. There is room everywhere for the adaptable girl. No one surpasses her in popularity. It is she who makes herâ€" self thoroughly at home when invited out, who puts her hostess into a happy frame of mind and deludes a mixed company into the belief that they are congenial. This is the type of girl who will eat food that she does not like rather than make her hostess uncomâ€" fortable. She is always welcome. Her gracious manner wins the heart of high and low alike. She puts everybody at ease by being so much at ease herâ€" self. THE GIRL WHO ENJOYS HERSELEF. The widow of the King of Portugal is dying, and it is recalled that she has been the only example in Europe in this century, of a queen not of titled birth. She was an American girl, named Elise Hensler. Her story is a romance, inâ€" deed. She was born in Boston. Her parentage was respectable, but she was poor. To eke out the family income Elise sang in the Park street church of her native city, and the beauty of the girl, her rich, pure voice, and the genâ€" tleness of her manners, won her rfiends among the church folk, who got up a purse and sent her to Europe for musiâ€" cal training. She studied in Paris and Italy, returned for an engagement in New York, and then to Europe for a continental tour. At her first appearance in Europe, in the Royal Opera House at Lisbon, King Ferdinand saw the girl and was charmâ€" ed by her beauty. He had buried his first wife, Dona Maria, sixteen years previously. His regency during the minority of his son had ended, and his son was on the throne. The son was married and had two sons, one six years old, the other four. Why should not King Ferdinand marry her, though it was contrary to all precedent? He secured an introduction to the beautiâ€" ful American, and had found her as unsullied in mind and as sweet of spirit as her personal charms were undoubtâ€" edly great. He asked her hand, and not morganatically. Accepting him, she was made by the graciousness of the King‘s cousin, Duke Ernest of Saxeâ€" Coburg and Gotha, Countess of Edla. King Ferdinand announced to his relaâ€" tives that he was to marry and whom he was to marry. ‘The family saw no reason why this quietâ€"loving king should not enjoy his honorable retireâ€" ment as he chose, and, in June, of 1869, an American, whose paternal seat was a little brick bouse in New England, became the mistress of royal palaces. For sixteen years Ferdinand and his wife lived in happiness, mostly at the Moorish castle at Cintra owned by Ferâ€" dinand. The King worked in his garden among his flowers and among his books in his library, with his wife always by his side. She sung to him and to his friends, he playing her accompaniâ€" ments. After his death, twelve years ago, the Countess clung to her retireâ€" ment, but in her palace she was visited on a perfect equality by members of the royal family. And now, after a dozen years of loneliness it is said that this Americanâ€"born queen, uncrowned, but nove the less highly honored, is at the point of death. THINK BEFORE YOU STRIKE. QUEEN VICTORIA‘S DOGS. Dogs have been great friends of Queens. _ Among them no sovereign has shown greater affection for dogs than Her Majesty Queen Victoria. One pet collie rejoices in the name of Sharp. He has all his meals with his mistress, being seldom away from her. During her long reign the Qusen has had many pet dogs. One called Noâ€" ble, given to her nearly 20 years ago by the Duke of Roxburghe, is still alive, but its once rich brown muzzle has grown white with age, and his eyesight is gone. The Queen‘s afâ€" fection for him has increased, with his infirmities, and when the royal hand caresses him as of yore Noble is as happy as when he rejoiced in the breeze and sunshine of Deeside. The earlier royal favorites were Skye terriers and turnspits, but lateâ€" ly Her Majesty has shown preference for collies and spitzes. _ Snowball, a particularly graceful collie, was preâ€" sented to her on the occasion of her jubilee.

Henry Probasco, of Cincinnati, was a millionaire a few years ago. But he adopted Mr. Carnegie‘s views of wealth, and gave away his fortune in benevolences.
