THE BEGGAR OF BAGDAD, 
cog 
BY a. M'OIBBON, 
A STORY Is told Of a Bralttuin of old, 
Who went about begging for rice; 
And all that ho got, ho put up In a pot. 
To keep it away from the mice. 
" A famine of broad,” so the old Brahmin said, 
“ Would make it great outcry for food 
His rlco would bo sold, for Its value in gold,— 
A fact that he wished understood.

Two goats he’d then buy, which he had in his eye, 
A number whlob soon would he more; 
So, with their increase, and their milk, and their 
fleece, 
He’d soon iiave a very great store. 
He then would buy cows, which would quietly brouso 
On herbs, and the grass of his field; 
And he would grow rich, on the revenues which 
Ills groat droves of outlie would yield. 
He’d sell off again, and buy buffaloes then, 
To plow and to harrow Ills land : 
And then all the gain, from the sales of his grain, 
Would make him quite rich, understand. 
Then, mares ho would buy,— for their value was 
high,— 
Whose foals ho would train for the chase; 
And they should be sold, for a value untold,— 
And Khaliff, he'd be in the place. 
And then a great king, his fair daughter would bring, 
Whose heart lie would win, and lief hand; 
A dower, likewise, which he would not despise— 
A million rupees, at command. 
A mansion of stone, with this wealth, now his own, 
lie then would build up in Bagdad ; 
And when it was done, lie would then have a son,— 
A frolicsome, bright little lad,—

BLESSING ON AND THANKS FOR A KISS, 
A story of the courtship of John Brown of 
Haddington, lias Been at last put Into a hook- 
hut In ray young days I heard if in the Lowlands 
Of Scot land,and il is believed to be entirely true. 
This John Brown was the author of the “Mar¬ 
row of Divinity,” and cither theological books, 
which tiro held in high esteem by the Scottish 
people. He courted a lady ujiwardsot' six years. 
He was so singularly modest and bashful that he 
had never ventured to kiss her. One day It oc¬ 
curred lo him that It would not bo a bad thing 
to do. So, il is recorded, lie said, “Janet, ina 
woman, we've been acquainted now for six 
years, nu’—tm'—I've never got a kiss yet. D'ye 
think 1 may take one, my botinie kiss?” The re¬ 
ply was wonderfully characteristic of the Scot- 
1 ish maiden. “.list ms yo like, John," said she, 
“o»l/y be beamin' find irrope.r te£' ff.” “Surely, 
Janet,” said John, “we'll ask a blGssin’." The 
blessing was asked, and the kiss exchanged. “O, 
woman,” said lho enraptured but still devout 
minister, “O, woman, but it's gude; we’ll noo 
return thanks.” And they did.
