A FAILY TALL ILITTATT.
Ooce upon a lime there bred is Brit
tany a noble lord, who was called the
Baroa kerver. His manor house was tne
. t . t . : t.
roof and walls, covered wita carving,
that looked at a distance hie a viae
clirning ever an arbor. Oa the first floor
six stained glass balcony windows looked
out on each side toward the rising and
and the setting can. In the morning;
when the baron, mounted ca his dun
mare, went forth into the forest, follow
ed by his tall greyhounds, he caw at
each window one of his daughters, with
prayer-book in hand, praying for the
house cf Kerver, and who, with their
fair curls, and blue eyes, and clasped
hands, might have been taken for six
Madonnas ia a bright azure niche. At
evening, when the sua declined and the
Baron returned homeward, after riding
round bra dominions, he perceived from
afar, ia the windows looking toward the
west, eix sons, with dirk locks and ea-
cle gaze, ih.8 hope and pride cf the fam
ily, that might have been taken for six
sculptured knights at the portal of the
church. For tea leagues around, ai!
who wished to quote a happy father and
a powerful lord named the Baron Ker
rer.
The cas'.le had but twelve windows,
and the baroa had thirteen children.
The last, the one that had no place, was
a handsome boy cf thirteen, by the name
of Yvon. As is usual, be was the best be
loved. In the morning, at his departure.
and at evening, at his return, the baron
always found 1 von waiting upon the
threshold to embrace hira. With his
hair falling to his waist, his graceful fig
ure, his willful air, and his bold bearing,
Yvoa was beloved by all the Bretons.
At twelve years of age he had bravely
attacked and killed a woolf with an axe,
which had won him the name of "Fear
less." He deserved the title, for never
was there a bolder heart.
One day, when the baroa had etaid at
home.and was amusing himself by break
ing a lance with his squire, Yvon enter
ed the armory in a traveling dress, and,
bending one knee to the ground.
My lord and father," said he to the
baron, "I come to ask your blessing.
The house of Kerver u rich ia knight
mm as
ana nas no need cf a child ; a is time
for me to seek my fortune. I wish toco
to distant countries to try my strength,
and to make myself a came."
You are right, Fearless, replied the
iiaron, more moved tnan be wished to
appear. '-I will not keep you back ; I
have no right to do so ; but you are very
young, my child ; perhaps it would be
better for you to stay another year with
us. '
. "I am sixteen, my father; at that age
you had already fought one of the prou
dest lords cf the country. I have not
forgotten that our arms are a unicorn rip
ping up a lion, and cur motto Onward !
I do not ivish the Kervers to blush for
their last child."
Yvoa received his father's blessing,
shook hands with his brothers, embraced
his sisters, b:d adieu to all the weeping
vassals, and set out with a light heart.
Nothing stopped him on his way. A
river appeared, he swam it; a mountain,
he climbed it ; a forest, he made his way
through it with the sun for a guide. On
the Kerver! he cried, whenever he met
with an obstacle, and went straight for
ward in spite of everything.
For three years he had been roaming
over the world ia search of adventures,
sometimes conquering, sometimes con
quered, always bold and gay, when he
received an offer to go and' fight the
heathen of Norway. To kill unbelievers
and to conquer a kingdom was a double
pleasure. Yvon enlisted twelve brave
comrads, freighted a ship, and hoisted
from the mainmast a blue standard, with
the unicorn and motto of the Kervers.
The sea was calm, the wind fair, and
the night serene. Yvon, stretched on the
deck, watched the- stars, and sought the
one which cast its trembling light on his
father's castle. All at once the vessel
struck upon a rock ; a terrible crash was
heard; the sails fell like tinder ; and an
enormous wave burst over the deck, and
swept everything away.
'On the Kerver '." cried Yvon, as
soon as his head appeared above the wa
ter; and he began to swim as tranquilly
as jf he had been bathing ia the lake of
the old castle. Happily the moon was
rising. Yvon saw, at a little distance, a
black epeck among the silvery waves it
was land. He approached it, not without
difficulty, 'and finally succeeded in gain
ing a foothold. Dripping wet, exhaust
ed witn fatigue, and out of breath, he
dragged himself oa the sand ; then,
without more anxiety, said his prayers,
and went to sleep.
In the morning, on awakening; Yvon
tried to discover in what country he had
been cast. He saw ia the distance a
house as large as a church, windows fif
fy feet in height. He" walked a whole
day before reaching it, and at last found
himself ia front of aa immense door,
with a knocker so heavy that it was im
possible for a man to lift it.
Yvon took s great stone and began to
knock. "Come in V cried a voice that
sounded like the roar f a bull. At the
same instant the door opened, and the
little Breton found himself ia the pres
ence of a giant not less than forty feet
ia height.
'What is your came, and what do
want here ? said the giant, taking up
Yvon betweea his thumb and finger, and
lifting him from the ground so as to see
better. I
'My name is Fearless, and I am seek- i
ing my fortune," answered Yvoa, look
ing at the tame time at the monster with !
aa air of defiance. j
Well, brave Fearless, your fortune
is made." said the giant in a mocking
tone. "I am in need of a servant, and
I will give you the place. You can go
to work directly. This is the time for
leading my sheep to the pasture ; you
may clean the stable while I am gone.
X ihe.ll give you nothing else to do," ad-
most ceaumui in we rroD. "boiiinff bt re was no fire on the
a crear Gothic castle, with a rromed i
ded he, bursticg into a laugh. "You
see that I ao a good master. Da your
taslv end, alove all things, chn't prowl
about tha house, cr it. wih cost you ycur
iife."'i I r- r i 1 I . .
"Certainly I have a good master; the
work is cot hard," thought Yvcn, when
ike giant waa gone. "J - have plenty cf
time tosweejthe stable. , What shall I
cb ia the meantime to amuse myself?
Shall I look about the house 1 . Since I
am forbidden to do so, it must be because
there is something-to see."
He entered the first room, and saw a
large fire-place, ia which a great pot was
hearth.
What does this mean ?" thought Y
von ; "There is some mystery here."
He cut off a lock of his hair, dipped it
into the pot, and took it out coated whh
copper. .
Oh, chi cri&l he, "this is a new
kind of soup ; anybody that swallows it
must have an iron-clad stomach."
He went into the next room; there,
also, a pot was suspended from a hook,
and boiling without fire. He dipped a
lock of hair into it, and took it out all
coated with silver.
"The broth is not so rich as this in
the Kerver kitchen," thought he, but it
may have a better taste." t
Upon this he entered the third room.
There also a cot was suspended from a
hook and boiling without fire. Yvon
dipped a lock of hair into it, and took it
cat coated with cold. It shone so bright
ly that it 141'ght have been mistaken for
a sunbeam. '
Gooa!" cried he. "In our country
the old women have a saying, "Every
thing gets worse and worse;" here it is
just the contrary, everything gets better
and better. What shall I find in the
fourth room, I wonder many be diamond
soup f
He pushed open the door, and saw
something more rare than precious stones
This was a young woman of such mar
velous beauty that Yvoa, dazzled, fell
oa his knees at the eight.
"Unfortunate youth: cried she, rc
a trembling Toice, "what are you doing
here?".
"1 belong to the house," answered
Yvon: "the giant took me into his ter
vice this morning.
"His servicel" repeated the young' girl.
"May Heaven preserve you from it!"
i "Why so?" said Yvon. "I have
good roaster ; the work is cot hard.
The stable once swept, my' task is finish
ed."
Yes, and how will you set to work to
sweep it ?" said the lady. If you sweep
it in the usual way, for every forkful of
dung that you throw out of the door tea
will -come in at the window. JJut I will
tell you what to do. Turn the fork and
sweep with the handle, and the dung will
instantly fly cut of itself."
"I will obey," said Yvon ; upon which
he sat down by the young girl aud be
gan to talk with her. She was the daugh
ter of a fairy, whom the wretched giant
had made his slave. Friendship soon
springs up between companions in mis
fortune. Before the end of the day Fi
cette (for that was the lady's name) and
Yvon had already promised to belong to
each other, if they could -escape from
their abominable master. The difficulty
was to find the means.
Time passes Quickly in this kind of
talk. Evening was approaching, when
Fmette sent away hercew friend, advis
in? him to sweep the stable before the
giant came heme.
Yvoa took down the fork, and attempt
ed to use it as he had seen it done at his
father's castle. He soon had enuugh of
it. In less than a second there was so
much dung ia the stable that the poor
boy knew not which way to turn. He
did as Fine tte had bid him, he turned
the fork and swept with the handle, when
behold ! in the twinkling of an eye, the
stable was as clean as if co cattle had
ever entered it.
The task finished, Yvon seated him
self oa a bench before the door of the
house. As soon as he saw the giant com
ing he lolled back in his seat, crossed
his legs, and began to eing one of his
native airs.
"Have you cleaned the stable ?" asked
the giant with a fiown.
"Every thing is ready, master," ans
wered Yvon, without troubling himself
to move.
"I am going to see for myself," howl
ed the giant. He entered the stable
grumbling, found everything in order,
and came out furious.
You have 6een my Finette," cried
be ; "this trick did cot come from your
own head.
'What is myfinette ?" asked -Yvcn,
opening his mouth and shutting his eyes.
Is it one of the animals that you have in
this country ! Show it to me, master.
"Hold your tongue, fool !" replied the
giant ; "you. will see her sooner than you
want to."
The next morning the giant gathered
his sheep together to lead them to ihe:-
pasture ; but, before setting out, he or
dered Yvcn to go in the course cf the
day ia search of his horse, which was
turned out to 'graze oa the mountaia.
"After that," said he, bursting into a
laugh, "you caa rest all day long. You
see that I am a good master. Do your
task ; and, above all things, don't prowl
about the house, or then I will cut Your
head off." : '. ' ,
Yvoa winked bis eyes as the giant left
"Yes, you are a good master," said he,
between his teeth. "I understand your
tricks; but, in spite of your threats, I
I shall go into the house and talk with
your Finette. It remains to be seen
whether she will cot be more mine than
yours,"
He ran to- the young girl's room.
Hurrah!" cried lie; "I have nothing to
do all dh.y but to go to the mountain af
ter a horse."
"Very well," said Finette ; "how will
yoa set to wcrk to ride him?"-'-
"A fine question, ' returned Yvon.
'As if it was a difficult thing1 to ride a
horse ! I fancy that I have riden worse
ones than this."
"It is not so easy as you think," re
plied Finette ; "but I will tell you what
to do. Take the bit that hangs behind
the stable door, and. when the animal
rushes toward you breathing fire and
smoke from his nostrils, force it straight
between his teeth ; he will instantly be
come gentle as a lamb." .

A Model Composition.
An Indiana paper gives the fcllowing
essay on "The Ox," just as it came
from the pen of its young contributor :
"Oxen is a very slow animil, they are
good to brake ground up. i wood draiher
have horses if they didn't have kolick,
which they say is wind collected in a
bunch, which makes itdangerser to keep
horses than an - ox. if there was no
horses the people 'wood have to wheal
thare wood on a whenlbarow. it wood
take them two or three days to -wheal
a cord a mile. Cows is useful to. i have
herd soin say that if tbay had to be to
ther or an- ox thay wood be a cow. But
I think when it cum to Bare their tits
pulled of a cold mornin thay wood wish
thay, wasnt. for oxen dont generally have
to raise calves, if i bed to be enny i
wood drather be a buffer. But if i cood
ent be a heffer and hed to be both i wood
be an ox. J
An exchange relates an incident of
recent occurrence which illustrates very
forcibly the danger of attempting to
squeeze the hand of a young lady, par
ticularly if there 'is a third person near.
A youDg lady who had several admirers,
was at a party the other evening, and
felt ia with two admiring swains. While
sitting in the back part of the room, with
both of her lovers, each of her admirers
concluded to slip his hand under the shawl,
and try what effect squeezing would
have. He went for it and succeeded.
Great iay, how happy he was. He
squeezed and she squeezed apparently.
He felt glorious all over, and she eviden
tly felt glorious too. After quite a joy
ful time spent in that way,' the lady threw
back her shawl, and revealed to the little
crowd standing near, our two youths
squeezing one another's hands most
lovingly. It don't do to say 'squeeze' to
either of thenv since.
The -Superior Court of Cincinnati
decided recently that a . newspaper
publication , the withdrawal of a mem
ber of a banking firm, mailed to a custo
mer of the bank, was not a' sufficient
notice to discharge the retiring partner
from liability where debt had accrued
against the bank after his withdrawal.
As this decision will apply to a mercantile
as well as banking firm, it may be well
enough for our business men to make a
note of the fact.
A raw Irishman went into a ret
taurant, and was asked by the waiter
what he would have? "why, whiles to
ate, av coorse," was the reply. A plate
of hash was placed before hira. "Wot s
that?" demanded Mickey. "That's wh
iles," was the answer. Mickey eyed
the compond suspiciously for some time.
and ansiiy exclaimed: "Bejabers, the
man that chawed that can ate it!"
