There once was a Count. so I've heard it said- 
Who felt that lii# end drew near; 
And he called his sons before his bed, 
To part them hi# (roods and gear. 
He called for hi# plow, he called for his sword, 
That gallant, good and brave; 
They brought them both at their father's word 
And thus lie his blessing gave : 
My first-born son, >ny pride and might, 
Do thou my swonl retain ; 
My castle on the lordly height, 
And all tny broad domain. 
On thee, my well-loved younger boy. 
My plow 1 here bestow ; 
A peaceful life ehalt thou enjoy 
In the quiet vale below." 
Contented sank the sire to rest, 
Now all was given away; 
The son# held true hi# lust behest, 
E’en to hi* dying day. 
Now tell ns what came of the steel of flame, 
Of the castle and its knight; 
And tell us what came of t he vale so tame, 
And the humble peasant w ight. 
O ask not of mo wbat the end may be! 
Ask ot the country round ! 
The castle is dust, the sword I# rust, 
The height Is but desert ground. 
But the vale spreads wide in the golden pride 
Of the autumn sunlight now; 
It teems and It ripens far and wide, 
And tlie honor abides with the plow !

and shivering. It was very cold, and nearly 
eleven o’clock—quite time, you will say, 
that little children were all in bed. 
“ Will you loan me a quarter, sir ?” 
Mr. Allowes thought it a very singular 
request, as the boy repeated it. 
“Loan you a quarter, little boy! wbat 
for?” 
“To set us up in business,” the lad 
promptly responded. 
“ Bui why don’t you ask me to give it to 
you?” Mr. Allowes inquired, a trifle won- 
deringly. “ You know I will never sec you 
again, if 1 let you have it.” 
“ O yes you will, please sir.” 
“You nrc telling me a story,” said the 
generous-heart ei I man. “ How could you find 
me again? you don’t know where Ilive.” 
“But you could tell us,” said the boy, 
stoutly, “ and I could find you bime-by ” 
lie looked lioncst, Mr. Allowes thought, 
and it was certain ho needed help. 'Bo he 
said,— 
“ I haven’t a quarter, but here’s a half dol¬ 
lar I’ll give you. I won’t loan it, to you, for 
if you promise to bring it back you will 
break your promise, and that I don’t want 
you to do. Take it, then, as a gift.” 
“No, sir,” said the little fellow, sturdily, 
“ I won’t do that. I won’t take nothin’ as a 
gift. Just tell us where you live, and loan 
il to us. It’ll set us up jolly,” he added, to 
his little sister. 
Bo Mr. Allowes let him have the bright 
half-dollar, (it, was before the war, when 
silver coins were plentiful,) and, after telling 
the odd little pair where his home was, be¬
