EENA'S SITUATION.
"Oh, I wish I were rich," said ltena
Lewis, out aloud, in the lullnessof her
heart. " I wish I could be a tine lady
and play croquet in soft muslin edged
with lace, and Fren ch kid boots, and
wear real birds of paradise in my hat
like Miss Clara." And leaning her elbows
on the wide window seat she
loosed down through the morning
screen of Lamarque rose leaves at the
merry party on the lawn below.
Little llena Lewis' life had all -been
one upward aspiration. She had no
iilea where she was born. She only
knew that they had found her in a has
Ket on tne steps 01 me iwcas ruumiling
Asylum," with a shawl wrapped
around her, and a pair of bright brown
eyes staring up at the sky. Slit* had been
"bound out" at ten years old. and her
unusual quickness and spirit chancing
to attract the attention of her mistress,
had secured her a good English education.
"Rena," said Mrs. Brown, when she
was seventeen, " you are too bright and
intelligent for a mere servant-maid:
you hav? more brains than arc needed
for scouring pots and dusting chairs.
How would you like to 1 ecome a
teacher?"
"Oh, Mrs. Brown," said she. "it is
what I have always dreamed of."
" Mrs. Alen was here yesterday." said
her mistress; "she has a niece" living
out at Georgetown Heights, who wants
a nursery governess for her little girls.
Salary 8^5 a month?duties light and
agreeable. I think, Rena, you could
teach two little girls their reading and
spelling, and keep their ribbons fresh
and their pinafores clean?"
" Oh, I know I could!" cried the girl,
with reddening cheeks and lips all garlanded
with happy smiles. "But?my
clothes: I've nothing but a dyed merino
and two faded" calico dresses."
" I'll see to that, my dear," said Mrs.
Brown, kindly. "Ynu have worked
faithfully for rue and you deserve :t
present. I will give you an outfit; and
I will tell Mrs. Alen. who has a few
foolish ideas on the subject of social
position, that you are the orphan child
of a friend of mine. It's a little bit of a
white lie. to be sure, but I don't think
the recording angel will be very Hard
'on me for it.
So Rena Lewis went to the handsome
Italian v'illa on Georgetown Heights,
and fancied herself in Eden. Mrs. Alen,
the younger, declared herself delighted
with the new governess. "She's so
pretty," said Mrs. Alen, "and has such
a soft, soaring voice, and Loo and Olie
are 60 fond of her. And she dresses
Clara's hair so exquisitely; better than
any Parisian maid could do."
for Miss Clara Alen, Mr. James
Alen's cousin from the South, was there
spending the summer, and it was Miss
Clara's dresses. Miss Clara's jewelry,
and Miss Clara's general dash and glitter
that had awakened all these longing
ideas in poor Rena's heart, especially
since Harold Reede had begun to come
there so much.
Harold Reede was the handsome young
rector of a neighboring cliuivii?tall,
dark and distingue. ITt; had asked Rena
Lewis to take charge ol a class in the
Sunday-school; lie had escorted her home
one rainy Sunday night, as courteously
a< if she had been one of ;he royal
princesses; and in her secret heart Rena
thought him the best, the noblest and
the most beautiful of human beings.
Just as the big round tears were trembling
on her eyelashes, behind thescreen
of Lamar^ue roses, in trie still sunshine
of the August afternoon, Miss Alen's
voice was hoard echoing on the stairs.
" Rena! Rena Levris! are you dead and
buried, or what has become of you?"
Rena started up hurriedly, brushing
the dew from her eyelashes.
" I am here. Miss Alen," said she.
"Can you play croquet ?" imperiously
called out the fair Clara.
"A little."
" Then come down at once," said Miss
Alen. "Alice Harland tiresome thing,
has gone home with a headache, and we
want one more to finish the game. I
don't suppose you are much of a player
but you will do better than nothing."
Little Rena Lewis, far to much elated
by the prospect of croquet to pay much
heed to the ungraciousness of the invitation.
flew to put on her hat, and came
blushing and smiling: down stairs like
an animated daisy. Rev. Harold Reede,
as it chanced, was her partner, and he
thought he had never seen so fair and
Iresh a creature as Rena. in garden hat.
with nature's own roses on her cheeks,
anu eves that shone like stars beneath
their dark fringes.
"Am I aiming right?" she said, timidly,
with uplifted mallet, one tiny foot
pressing the ball deep down into the
grass.
Mr. Ueede smiled. ,
"You could not have aimed more
correctly," said he; and Miss Alen, who
was watching them from the background,
bit her lips and secretly regretted
her haste in calling Miss Lewis
to the rescue.
"An artful, flirting little puss.''

Mrs. Alen.

with burning cheeks. " I?I was Mrs

" Was it any disgrace?" said she.

Clara.

: second man who took in the situation n
a glance and said:
44 Go and get some scantlings fourteei

Baby Farm i or.
A curious story of baby farming ii
Baltimore came to light- a short ttm'
' since, and was told to a representative
j of the Baltimore Gazette, with the under
j standing that all names should be sup
; pressed. In the northwestern section o
the eity, in a little by-street, there ha
resided for over a quarter of a century ai
i old woman who for many years ag
j practiced Little Buttercup's art of bab;
' farming. Many of the little ones left ii
j her care were, when a few months old
! entrusted to the charity of some infan
asylum, and in after years entered upo:
lives of toil and drudgery, while other
oi the little proteges were adopted b
miiies of affluence and raised as tliei
! own children. The history of one of th
i latter is almost as marvelous as that <:

Convict Labor.
Superintendent Wright, of the Mussn
chusetts Bureau of Labor Statistics, ha
prepared a report ior me next ia-^iskiuh
of that State. lie says that the numbe
of convicts in 1878 in all the Siat
prisons of the Union was 29,197, of whor
13,186 were employed in mechanical ir
dustries. The greatest number was i
New York and the smallest in llhod
Island. Three systems of labor wer
i found to be in practice. The lirst is tli
ontraet system, which is ado pted ii
Massachusetts and generally in tli
Northern States, and which consists i
selling the labor of the prisoners lor
stipulated time and at a lixed price pe
day to the highest bidder, the wor
usually being done within the walls c
the prison, under the supervision of a
agent of the purchaser. The second i
the lessee system, which consists i
leasing convicts to a party for a speei
lied sum per year, with the provisio
that the lessee shall feed, clothe, an
discipline the convicts, and indeed at
tend to the entire work of their care an
maintenance. This system is adopted i
siime ofthe Southern Sums. Thethir
. is the " public account" system, accord
ing to which the officers of the priso
[ purchase all the raw materials, manu
\ iacture the goods anil sell them in th
. open market tor the best price they ea;
vrt, the same as any manufacturing ei
tahlishmcnt. At tiie rate of forty cent
per day, which was the average, tli
Wiige-earnings for the whole yea
. amounted to5>l,G24,51'i. At $0 per dn]
which is the average price of simihi
, iabor outside of prisons, these same me
would have earned 58,122.576. Tliepri
[ ducts of prison labor, if we take tl
_ iabor at $2 per day, did not exceed $20

the mechanical industries of the Uniti

j,! the family, the living brother retired t
a, I a room to repose. The undertaker cam
: in to measure the body. He knew th
jf , brothers quite well, but did not kno)
i, ; which one was sick. Instead of goin
