There was something in his C appearance which was so different from ' the ordinary little street boy that 1 first ' stopped and looked, then addressed him with : " Are you hungry, little boy?" He then turned quickly, gave a little ' nod, and said laconically: "Awful I" " Well, suppose we go in there and get something to eat ?" .0 The child's face brightened; then he 1 hesitated and said, dubiously: "Maybe mamma wouldn't like me to."i "Where is your mamma? How came you here alone ?" "She's home, sick. I've runned away;" and he looked up in my face with big, brown eyes in which there was a sparkle of mischief. " Run away, have you? I am afraid that is very naughty; won't your mam ma be anxious ?" " Oh she's sick, she's awful sick I And I ain't had anything to eat to-day " "Have you any brothers and sisters?" The little face sobered at once as he said : " No, pnlv Eloise, and she's gone away, and papa's gone away, and maa ma says maybe ehe's going away, and she don't know what'll come of me." r "Who is Eloiseo? Your sister?" " 1Yes'm."t "Where has she gone? Won't she come back ?" "No, she ain't never coming back - they put her in a jittle blacke box and took her to heaven, and mamma cried* ; she said she wouldn't never come back again, and, I haven't anybody to play1 with now." "Eloise !" The name had struck a chord in my heart which awakened painful memories, and while the little T fellow was talking my mind had sitrayed ' back to years ago, and a vision of a C beautiful false friend rose before myt eyes. Suddenly I asked the child his 1 name.. " Edwin Alexander Anderson." t For an instant I felt faint and sick, happy wife' and mother though I now am. . That name brought back to me a time of wretchedness never to be forgot- 2 ten, and I almost felt like turning away fa and leaving the child--M. child-to his fate. But, thank Heaven I the impulse 3 was only for a moment ; I knew now why those brown eyes thrilled me so; but with the impulse to turn away camei a whisper from my good angel : " Do e' good to those who despitefully use you" ' And, seeing the little fellow still looked I longingly at the cakes, I took him in, gave him some- buns and a glass of milk, I and a bag of cookies to take home; but he could not go alone probably, if, a~ < he said, he had run away; so I ask~ed s him where he lived, and if he knew the s wa~y hne. " We lives now in No. 10 Pine street, t but I danno where 'tis."-1 I was not at all sure of the locality i myself, so I'ailing ain omnibus I re quested to be carried to my destination; and then the awkwardness of meeting his father flashed across me, till I recol looted he had said "Papa's gone away."1 " Where has your papa gone?" " He's gone to the dogs." The answer was certainly startling, and notwithstanding, or perhaps in con sequence of my nervousne~s, I smiled, and felt in my throat a mingled incli nation to laugh and cry. Then I said seriously.: " What do yon mean ? Who told you that ?" " Oh, I heard a man tell the doctor so when he came to see Eloise, and I fonnd it in the big map-book mamma let me have to 'muse me." " Founa what ?" "Isle of Dogs ; that's where he's gone. I guess he ain t coming back." A little pause, then in a low, frightened tone, " he's awful cross ; he made mamma cry, he did." I felt guilty of learning famil' secrets, so I turned away from that subjeet and said : " Is your mother very ill ?" " Oh, she's 4@sadful sick! S he coughs and congvhs, and spite up lots of red spite ; it's awul!i" Poor Eloise the bril~iant beauty, was indeed dying f I looked down sit the lit tle boy in his shabby clothes, and I re nembered the elegance of his mother's ttire when we were girls together ; I re nembered, oh, so wel I But I was awak med from my painful revery by my lt le campamiou' exolaiming: " Here we are I" I paid the driver, and we got out and nounted three flights of stairs in a shab )y lodging-house. He opened a door, md there, lying on a stretcher, wth a lard mattress, was the wreck of the )rilliant beauty I had not seen for ten rears, and who, but for the child, I ihould never have recognized. Not so with her, however; as the door opened mnd her child entered she held out her iand, saying in a low, breathless voice: "Eddy dear, where have you been?" rhen she raised her eyes, and, seeing me tanding in the , doorway, she turned Leathly pale, and, throwing u her iands, said, wildly : " Oh, , she ias come, she has come ! Alice, Alice, orgive me !I am dying now " Foraive her ? Yes, with the grim hadow of death hanging over her I ould not do otherwise. I went to the oedside and took her hand. "I am glad to have found you, Uloise ; all is forgiven." I could say no more ; the poor, thin ace. feverish eyes and shrunken form made my heart ache. She raised her elf up, and, clutching my hand, said: " Listen, Alice, I am dying. I must peak now; my punishment is from leaven; he has left me. You are re enged, and my little gil has one, and ie "-pointing to the boy-" the image s his father, will soon be alone, I lone ! My father and mother and sisttr xe all dead, and his father-I de not .now if he is living or dead, but ho hould not have my innocent boy to uin. Oh, Alice, you look iho nsamile as ver; will you take care of my boy ? " For aninstantI reooiled; I take Edwin Luderson's child to my house to live rith my children? It seemed impos ible; but those large, wistful eyes were Lxed on me; I must' answer. "I will find a home for him, Eloise." "You will not take him yourself, dlice? " And she raised herself up, and xcitement lent strength to her voice. 'Alice, I heard of your marriage to a ood man. Have you children?' " I have a little girl 3 years old and a aby." " Then for God's sake take my boy nd make him good; let him be your hild, and, when he gets old enough to nderstand, give him that desk," point ig to one on a table at her side. " I ave written out my history as a warn ag to him, and all my papers of any alue are there ; T haye nothing left of ay father's property; he has sold it all ad squandered the money. I believe te went to Europe and is living some vhere in Italy with another of his dupes ; ay boy is portionless. Will you, oh, dice, will you forgive all and take dim?" " I will." I could say no more and the excite cent being over, she fell bacfi exhausted. summoned assistance from one of tho ther rooms, and begged them to go for he nearest physician ; but it was too ate ; he came but to say that she was ~omg fast, and ore night she died with or head on my shoulder. I had sent a note to my husband ex laining my absence, and he was there ,ith a carriage to take home mnyself and ur new child. He knew all. I hod old him the sore secret of my heart efore I married him. As Eloise had aid, he was a good man, and when I Aid him her wish about her boy he aid quietly : " The child is ours now." There was a quiet funeral, and Eloise nderson was laid beside her lost little irl. And this is the story of our two lives. ears before, Eloise Grayson and I, dice Browne, were together at Madame .'s boarding-school for young ladies. ier father was called wealthy, and she nd a sister several years her senior r'ere all Viat were left of a large family. Bloise was very beautiful, and, when at chool she had admirers who would meet is and bow in our daily walks. After we left school I made her a visit fa few days and invited her to come nd see mne in our quiet country home whaen she liked. She had, however, too :ay a life and too many admiirers to care o accept my inrvitation then. Mean rhile I settled down at home and helped cry mother sew and learned to keep Louse, and also learned something else -to love with all my heart a handsome, lashing young man who had come to >ur quiet village to stay for a few days, thad lengthened out those days into veeks. Edwin Anderson almost lived at my father's house, and, at last, 'with ny father's full consent, we were en ;aged. Of course in the fullness of my joy I rrote to all my friends, and Eloise mong thre others. Not long after, she vrote to say she was coming to make me hat long-promised visit. Well, she lame, and at her very first meeting with B~dwin sihe completely monopolized his ittention ; she came to my room that night and declared herself charmed with a-" a perfe :t Adonis." She envied mre, called me a sly pass for catching moch a handsome man in that out-of tho way p lace ; then kissed me good-night and left me with a strange chill at my beart. 1 do not know how it was, but she was always with us ; we never seemed to be alone, and she engrossed him completely; sometimes she would laugh and say so carelessly: " Oh Ally, you must not mind ; but your E~wmn s voice just chords splendid Jv with mine ; you will lend him to me, won't you? " 5o they sang together and I listened. I, too, could sing, but my voice was nothing to hers. She was veyfond of riding, and we had but one ha' horse and she had forgotten to bring ber habit ; so nearly every mornng she would borrow mine and the two woaM go off for a ride andot return untildhb nor-time. My father began to look coldly at her, and my mother often .sighed as she saw them together. I was too proud to show what I felt, but I looked my door at night now; I could not bear to hear Eloise rhapsodize about my lover, whom I never saw now except in her society. She stopped for six weeks-six weary weeks to me. Then one day after a longer ride than usual with win, she announced that she must go home at once. Her talk and manner were fligh all day, and until late at night we he her moving about her room packing her trunk---such elegant clothes as she had, putting my quiet musline and cambries Im the shade, Next morning she bade us good-by and went away, my father remarking aftepr she had gone: " Well, I don't want to be inhospitable, but 1 hope that girl won't come here again very soon. All day I waited and watched for Edwin. Now, I thought, I will have him to myself once more; but he did not come. The next day passed, and still he did riot come. On the third day of weary waiting I took up the newspaper after my father had got through with it and looked carelessly and absently at the advertisements,Nhe local items, and then my eye wandered -to the marriage list. There I saw the marriage of Alex ander Anderson to Eloise Grayson. I did not faint nor scream. I only felt numb for a while, then I quietly handed the paper to my mother, pointng to that place, and as quietly left the room and went up-stairs to my, own chamber, where I sat by the window, looking out on the moonlit garden, and tried to un deristand. My mother soon follbwed me. and then passed the most miserable hours of my exist(nce ; my first love and faith and joy all shattered. Of course I felt as if I must die; but I was proud ; I would not be pitied by the neighbors; and so I threw off the awful pain when I was with others. Youth is very buoy ant; I had good health, a good home and good parents ; and soon two bright, teasing cousins were invited to make us a visit; so in time I crushed this love, which was sin now, from my young heart. Five years afterward I met and learned to Jove with a quieter, deeper affection, born of respect, my good husband, Hen ry Hlalford, an elderly lawyer, who came to see my father about a lawsuit, and having come once came again and again, until at last lie came to carry me to a bautiful house in the city as its mistress and his honored wife. We have two dear little children, and I am very hap py, and very proud of ray " elderly" husband. We call our new son Alexander Hal ford, dropping the old name forever; and I pray that he may be as good and honorable a man as his adopted father 1s. Longilngs. Thou gh we seem grieved at the short ness of life in general, we are wishing every period of it at an end. The minor longs to be of age, then to be a man of business, then to make up an estate, then to retire. Thus, although the whole life is allowed by every one to be short, the several divisions of it appear long and tedious. We are for iengthening our span in general, but would fain contract the parts cf which it is composed. The usurer would be very well satisfied to have all the time annmhilated that lies be tween the present moment and the next quarter day. The politician would be con tented to lose three years of his life, could he place things in the posture, which he fancies they will stand in, after such- a revolution of time. The lover would be glad to strike out of his exis tence atll the moments that are to pass before the next meeting. Thus as fast as our time runs we should bie very glad in most parts oI our lives, that it ran much faster than it does. Several hours of the day hang upon our handls; nay, we wish away whole years; and travel through time as though a country filled with many wild aind empty wastes, which we would fain hurry over, that we may arrive at these severail little settlements or imaginary points of rest. An Occasion for Boycotting. In reply to a correspondent who in dignantly asks if nothing can be done to stop the vandals who are transforming the face of the country into one vast ad vertisin)g. medium, the 8pringfield Re pubicoan observes that one obstacle in the way of preventing such outrages is the melancholy fact that farmers and landed proprietors " don't care, or if they do, it is only $1 or 62 worth. 'i'he disapproval of the advetiin fiend is chiefly felt by persons who don't own any fences or sheds or rocks-who.have nothingj but a sensitive taste and a pow erless indignation. These unfortunate people can't do anything except swear never to b~uy a p article of the soaps or dentifrices or elixirs or supeders or other contrivances so insolentl adver tised, and never to deal with teadver tisers. We should like to see a league tormed, bound by that solemn obhgca t on-it is a perfectly proper occasfon for boycotting." __ Taz percentage of recoveries froma habitual drunkenness (inebriety or <lipsomania) ii on e-third under competent medical cars ___.__ A MAN must love something; he cannot always be wounding and destroying, and the heart, weary of scorn and hate, needs repose in praise and tenderness.
