A ho iu t a year ago th l1e fou r room . on t ho third floor of 133 ttantonl ) street were cigaged by a family of tihree persons, Charles Elliott., i coimlpositor employed by Styles & Caii1shi, 95 Eighth aveino, his Wife M.argaret and their daulghitolr Janiv, at that time 16 yeari of age. She had been edticated to bo a gov' er ess, and pOSeSSd a highly (ull1tivatel mIind alid remarkable personal attractions. ,Tho iifly seemed to be very retiring, and kopt alool frvomn th~e other iiimatos of the lionso, with the exception of iJaniv, who was a genoral favorito. He0r health was far from good, and her pareIts were reluctantly compolled to abandon the idea of making bor a govres Not wvitshing to r inill idlo, the young girl som1io time ago obtained employment in u hat mlianufactory at $5 a week. Until about three weeks ago the Elliotts were living vory con tentedly, the father, who was a steady, hard-workin g man, earning a salary suflicient ,to moet all their wanlts, and Janio, who wN'as idoliz ed by her parents, being pernut ted to apply her five dollars week ly to her own uses. At this timo their troiibles be gall. Tlo filther lost his situation, and after a fv fr-Iuitless eforts to obtain another, lie gavo it up and bogan to drink. Mrs. Elliott, who disliked to soo her daughter working, begged her to abandon it, as hior' father would n0011 obtain employment. Jaio replied that it wias more than ever necessary to work now, and from that tim she bravely Conitinued to su)port the family, in Spito of her failing health. Under the pressuro of the troul blos crowding upon her, Mrs. El liott's mind began to give way, but though the inmates of the house observed it, her daughter was too much engrossed in the strugglo for broad to noticeo th:) changO, and her husband spent so little of' his time at hoio that the gradual collapse of his wife's in tollect passed almost unobsorved. When Janie at length compre honded the nature of' her mother's malady she almost sank beneath the shock. But money had to be procured, and theyounggirl rallied her onergies and unfalteringly worked harder than before. Always fragile and delicate, shec grow weaker and more attenuated day by day. She had never known tho amuisemeints so natural to girls of her age. as her parents, though their entirO affection Was contred on their only child, enter tained the strictest notions of' propriety, andl allowecd their daughter to enter a theatre or' a hall-room 0only on rare occasions, and never' with any escort except, her' father. As the Fourth of' July, wvhich was Jam'ic's seventeenth irthday, appr)ioalchod, Mrs. Elliott's malady lner'easedl. Thus fzur she had con dluctedl herself' without any ap-. preach to violence, and spoko( so rationally that str'angers could h1ardly cr'edit the 'fact of' her in sanity. But a few dlays ago her madness assumedt a more direct form. Among other things, she imagined that a German namedl Stoveler, oc cup)ying the top floor, had1( formod a desiga to blowv up the house on the 5th of July, at notion which doubtless owedl its or'igin to the constant explosions of' crackers andl fir'oworks ar'ound hot'. On one occasion she summoned ani officer, and, charging that Steveler intendled to kill heri daughter and hermself, endonvor'ed to pr'ocur'e his arrest. The officer seeing at once how matter's stood, refused to comply. Her vigilance in guard ing against imaginary dlanger nev er r'olaxed for a moment, andl all (11a3 long she paced the r'oomn armI eod withi a large carving knifo. Hor' dlaughtor's safety appear'ed to be a far greater object to her than her own, and while the girl slept she paIce(d, watchful and wvakoful, outside the door for lhonurs. T1he lodgers, fearing that siho might (10 her (daughter some in jur'y, begged the latter' to have her secured, or at least to be on bo' guard against her. Poot' Janie eonter'tained no fear'. It was im possible, she said, that lbor mother, who had idoliz/ed her from the cradle, would harm her in her monist frenzie(d moment. On the 4th of July mother' and (laughter were at home all day. Janio tr'iedl to induce her mother to go alit, hoping that the excite ment of th9 p)arade and fIreworks might beoof service to her. The mad woman coutld not be persuaded to leave the house, fearing that the Guy Faw kes abovo stairs might completo his plans for blow. ing up the bouse in bor absonce. Janie. though very anxions to gn oit, wolid not leavo her mot hor. It was on this occasion that tie first al ( oily words ,of opilhplatlit, Use.) p he 11I av young gi'i rl's h.

T1hey never dream of aping the style of the street rowdy who is always. striving to got up a cheap ~ reputation for bravory-mnostly by I rnisroprosenting the few words I1 which pass between himself andl : others. Such youths are types of t true gentlemen distinguished by ' cou rtesy and corroet feeling. They catch with enthusiasm at every thing that is exulting andi happy, have their Owl) boisterous fun andI jollity, but hardly ever dream they are men. The opposites are the I nuisances of' life. All over the world can be found the truei varieties. Some of the choicest jittle gentlemen we havo over seen have been among those whoi1 wor'e compelled to toil hard forli their daily bread.
