Nelly was young and pretty as they, yet nobody looked after her with pleasure. "t give nothing away?not even smiles," she thought, as she walked wearily home. In her purse was her quarter's salary. There was not a penny of .it which was not approprioted?so much for groceries, so much for the boys' clothes and shoes, not a penny left to give away. The Bigelows were wholly dependent on Nelly's earnings and her father's salary as -fcook-keeper, and the supply was scant. She saw many a poor oreature in need of help, and it galled her intolerably that she had nothing to give. "Whatwas it that Dora had said?" she mused, as she walked along. " Nobody so poor that they cannot give ;# 4.1. ?? OVU1QUUU5 11 UUOJ VUWOOt Tiie words rung in her ears as Bhe went into the bare little dining-room where the family were seated a tsupper. It was not a hilarious assemblage. Mr. Bigelow was a" thin old man, who talked in monosyllables to his children. His shabby coat was buttoned with an air of impregnable dignity. Nelly remembered as in a dream, that when her mother was alive she had seen him joke and laugh heartily. But since her mother had gone, he had grown life* less, silent and old. Hib children, even Nelly, shrank from his cold blue eye. When her mother lived the tea-table bad been bright and merry?no matter how poor the fare. Now Thad and Joe were squabbling in whispers over the 3ry bread and stewed apples, while Alice grumbled outright. " You got your pay to-day, Nell. We might have something better than starvation diet." Nellv winced as if she had been struck. How hopelessly rough and ralgar Alice and the boys were growing 1 3urely it was not her fault. She worked bard for them all day, and when she same home in the evening with her uervous headache, they betook themselves to the street for companions. " Where are you going to-morrow, boys ?" she said, gently. " It is a holi-1 3ay, you know." " You bet we know!" Tliey nudged each other and giggled. " Big goingson to-morrow. Never you mind." " What will you do, Alice?" " Follow the parades, I reckon," tossing her head. Her mother's daughter tramping about the streets in a crowd of half drunken men t Nelly looked at tfce boys with a searching gaze. They had honest, manly faces, but hard and defiant lines were already coming into them. She sat silent a long time. The drive i>n the Wissahickon and the dance ! It was not easy to shut the door on that iream of delight. At last she looked up aheerfully. "What do you say, children, to a pic aio? .Early stare, Dig ovuceir, Doac no Rockland, fishing,?all kinds of fan." "Nelly!" " Do you mean it ?" The children started up. " We never aid such a thing!" cried Alice. "I never was farther out of town thau the water-works in my life!" " Oh, Ally, that cannot be true!" "Yes, it is true.' You don't take any jare of me, or you would know. Nobody does?since mamma died." The shild's lips trembled. " I will take care of you now, little sister," said Nelly, putting her arm ironnd her. " Well, what do you say, toys?" Thad ana Joe looked at each other. 14 Wo made a sort of engagement," said rhad; " but we'd rather go with you, md?we will go," he added, resolately. Mr. Bigelow had left the table and vandered aimlessly to the window. Nely ran after him and caught his hand. It nras like caressing a wooden statue. VPapa,?you will go with us?" " i, iMeuy, on a parsjr ui pieuourc i He stared down at her. The color ictually rose into his withered cheek. Yon don't think I could, my child? fou do not want a poor old man like ne?" Something in his look revealed to Nely the truth,?the utter loneliness of the j >ld man's life, the hungry craving for love and companionship, which she had lever given him. She held his hand in lers a moment, stroking it, and then dosed it. She could not speak. "Iwill go, my child." Her father's voice was strangely altered. He went into his own room, and lid not oome out again. Nelly was busy until late in the night. There was a tongue to boil, and a certain kind of cookies to bake. The boys hovered over hejr, happy, meddling at every turn, but singularly gentle and affectionate. " Mother used to make this kind of cakee. Arn't they nice ?" Alice had her sleeves rolled up and her apron on. Never was anybody more ?-? ? ? i.? 4. Dusy or more luipuinuiii, juneu and laughed, and made more fan out of thepaokiugof a basket than was ever made .since time began. Bat her heart was sore within her. What a trifle was needed to make these children happy, and to bind them to homo! How solitary and cheerless her father's life had been these many years 1 A little out-spoken love, a little cheerfulness, was all that was needed, and she had been blind to it all these years! The picnic was a very simple matter. People who can aiford pleasure every day would have laughed at it. They went out to the park in the horse cars. Then they sailed up the broad, bright river to Bockland. Then Mr. Bigelow 'innd a. dark nnol. and ricreed Hib old rods, and taught the boys how to fish. They found out he had been a famous fisherman in his day. He told wonderful stories of old exploits, brought up old iokes, and was not a little vain of the boys' shouts of applause. ... Jl The children actually never had heard their father talk before. They felt thcrp knew him for the first time. Thad was moved to confide his scrapes with the "ffoHyi teacher to him, and little Joe fell asleep with hie head on his knee.' j_ "Don't take him away, Nelly," era the old man, when she wonld have re i moved liim. "If only my children wonld come closer to me in this way! Perhaps they will." Al Nelly left Alioe to preside over the ' dinner. She spread it on a big rock. Her father and the boys kindled a fire, Ba and Mr. Bigelow cooked the three fish St ' they had canght. wi Yon never heard snch jokes and laugh- lil ing?you] never saw people with snch H ravenons appetites I After dinner fl< Thad, who had a very sweet little pipe di oi a voice, sang some songs; and then he Mr. Bigelow asked them if they knew gi "The Bay of Biscay, oh!" and sang it. T1 It was moonlight when they came tb home, floating down the river between bt the dark, wooded banks. Nelly sat with fo: Alice olinging to her. "Ton are the beet oh Bister in the world!" said the child. th Her father took her hand in his. "It ri] halfeen one of the happiest days of my lifejNelly. I thought my children cared in nothing for me, but I shall never be to alone again." ne Years have passed since that day. is Thad and Joe are now sturdy young fr< fellows, and engaged in business.

In 1854, opposite Bis- pre marck, there was massacred a boat-load vei of miners returning from Montana, noi They had in the bottom of their flat or of mackinaw $110,000. There were eight- me CPU uiiuciDi a wviuou ouu unw gum vw They stopped a short time at Fort Bert- ] hold, and were there warned by P.

The mi- waj ners, however, declined the advice, and tha thonght they would push out for the nol next landing. They had with them a km little cannon and plenty of arms. An 1 Indian afterwards related to Girard the mo story of their fate. When they were wh nearly opposite the present site of Bis- arc marck they ran into an Indian trap. On to the east bank of the river the Indians ohi appeared and fired a volley into the cor boat. The miners steered over to the po< west side to escape the range. Up rose all from behind a sandbank near the wa- thr ter's edge another and more numerous hai band. The first volley killed the whole ten crew except one man wounded and the doi woman and girls.

The Indians pulled the pot boat ashore, found little or nothing, and the then pnBhed her into the stream to float on to her wreck. Girard says he never sees anything in the Missouri that looks like a lost boat without thinking of the 1 Montana mackinaw and her gold. He hai has always been on the lookout for the hal wreck, as he believes the gold was so leo securely boxed up that it is still intact, sig and if found the treasure could be res- rtd cued. It is somewhere between Bis- a s marck and the Gulf, imbedded in the bil sand and mud. Some dredging boat or dri lucky fisherman may drop on it.

An old sailor, of this city, after read g an item which has been going the nndsof the papers in regard to the w cereal, the substance of which item given above, finds his memory reished. It briaga to his recollection a comstonce he had almost forgotten, d has set him to. thinking. He has onght it all oat, and is now firmly of e opinion that there is an inhabitable id at the north pole. i The old man says he was one of the 9w of the Investigator, Captain uOlnre, which sailed from England in i 50, in company with the Enterprise, j imxnander Collison, in search of Sir j hn Franklin, and he certainly has in < i Bowwiw cneof theAiptio medals , ren by the English Admiralty to all ; rsons engaged in these Polar expedi- J ns from 1818 to 1855. In September ' that vear the Investigator readied a J id which Captain MoCJlure named j ring's Land, and three days after j ler land, which he named after Prince j bert, where abont the last of the ] rath they were frozen in. , While in the last named land, the ex- { vers observed many wOd geese and < ler water-fowl flying southward. \ me of the geese stopped at the place ] ere the ship lay and several were , led by members of tneerew. in toe j >psof eomeof these geese he recol- . ts to hav4 seen, and marveled at j >mg, a considerable quantity of a , lin such as the new cereal of Surprise j Hey is said to be.

As the geese are nn- , lbtedly wending their way to a well- j 5wn stopping place far to the north, < ire must be something for them to j d noon at the point where they stop, j wild geese no more live on fish than tame ones, there must be, in the ratry to which they go, grass and fetation similar to that found in the iperate regions. The wild geese ,t bait on the Pacific coast make the in fields their feeding plaoe, and it lot likely that in the land abont the le their nature is so changed that they d upon mosses or fish.

There are towns that have peculiar facilities for procuring certain fabrications, as for instance, Pittsburgh is by Nature provided with coal and ores within easy reach for the production of iron and steel. Syracuse with Saline springs for the production of salt, and Haverstraw, N. Y., with suitable clay for the manufacture of red brick; but what special adaptation Troy originally possessed for the manufacture of shirts, collars and cuffs, or Worcester for the manufacture of machinery, we have been unable to discover. Certain it is those cities have become famous each for the special productions herein oited, and according to present indications they are likely to maintain their advanced positions. Way up in the north of Massachusetts, is the quiet vil. lage of Gardner, which ranks as the greatest place for chair making in America, though there are a hundred other towns where both lumber and transportation could be procured as well Waterbury, Oonn., is ahead of any other town - '* * '?

Cigar Ships. The Baltimore tfunsays: It is doubtess the popular impression, both in Baltimore and elsewhere, that the cigarihaped steamers whioh Mr. Winans, the celebrated inventor who died recently, hvented were abandoned as impracticable soon after their first trial; but such Is not the case. For the past thirteen )r fourteen years experiments with these iteameis have been actively carried on in England, and voyages have been made . w 1 I- -I wmM in tnem to tuidub uuh> w ?? kh>l most notably to the North and Mediterranean seas, where the; have been specially on trial. They are perfect as far is speed and exemption from rolling ind pitching are concerned, and it is probaole that when they are sufficiently satisfactory in other respects they will brought into practical use. Mr. Winans' idea was to have a big steam ferry and cross the Atlantic without regard to weather, fog or ice, with the regularity of railroad trains, making the trip in summer or winter in less than six days. An immense steamer was to i)e constructed one-half larger than the Gtreat Eastern?1,200 feet long?the pioneer in this new advancement in lavigation. Mr. Winans had perfeot confidence in the storm-defying qualities of his steamers, and, in replying to mentions concerning those qualified* ;ions, used to say that they could stand my weather that had ever been made pet, without regard to hurricanes and jyclones, though he supposed snoh' jould be made especially for their detraction. On account of the immense rize of these intended steamers, there was to be a special port of entry in each Bountry. A Strange Hydrophobia Cure. Many years ago Noah Hatch, of North' ainberlaud, a wealthy farmer, had three or four children bitten by a rabid dog. On the first symptom of rabies in the children he started for the ocean.

A young girl in Cleveland, 0., went toiied recently with strong eyes and in excellent health. Daring the night she felt "a sort of pricking" for a second or two about her eyes, and then a snap, as if something hod broken. These sensations were accompanied by no pain, and after they had passed away there was no uncomfortable feeling about the eyes. In the morning she was stone blind. A moderate amount of fat is generally considered evidence of good health. Abont one-twentieth part of the weight of a man and the sixteenth of a woman is considered the normal proportion.

It is seldom that a newspaper editor in so fortunate as the co-e1itor and ooproprietor of the Manchesser (England) Examiner. Some months ago he received a last offer of 020,000 a year to join the editorial staff of the London Times, and about the same time $22,000 by the London Neiva on the same terms. The owners of the Examiner, however, offered him an equal partnership in that paper, which yields him $80,000 a year and independence.

Her mode was to make rich people believe that she was enrrarraJ in onmfl BAo.rflk but exceedincrlv profitable business, and offer, purely an a favor, to invest some of their money in tlie mythical enterprise. She thus obtained from six dupes an aggregate of about $20,000. The commerce of the United States with Japan dates from the year 1859. In that year it amounted to but 6296. The following year it was less than $200,000, and up. to 1865 it had not reached $350,000 per annum. In the fiscal year 1866 the total exchanges suddenly increased to $2,300,000, and in 1873 their value reached $17,300,000. The following year their was a decline to $8,350,000, and since then an increase has again taken place to $1G,600,000 in 1876 and and 1877.

Here is rather a curions remedy, says 1 Cassell'a Family Magazine,but in many t awes a very certain one, for the cure of 1 indigestion. It is simply the cultivation < of a habit of chewing, while ont of doors, i different kinds of green leaves and swal lowing the juice. One can always coll ( a leaf from a hedge, of bush, as one ] passes. Almost all are good that are 1 not nauseons, such as the ivy, or poi- j bouous, as the laurel leaf. One of the < latter, however, is a capital thing where i there is slight irritation of the stomach. ' The chewing of leaves cures dyspepsia, j principally, I believe, by increasing the I flow of thesalitary j nice, and partly by ] the tonic or stimulating action of the i leaf chewed. The leaves that occur to i me at present as most likely to be bene- i Atrial are those of the nine trees, spruce i or Scotch fir, blackthorn, currant and < rose bushes, mint, the petals of many i flowers, the stalks, of mountain daisies, 1 the white portion of rushes, the bark of many young trees, and the tender part of the stalks of green wheat, oats, or al- j most any of the larger grasses; but your i own taste must in a great measure guide j you, if you eleot to make trial of my ? 1?
