HY MRS, 8. C. HALL. Many who read this will remember the heavy enow that' gave the New Year of*l^^&'l?old-?^ day "after" its birth, when all the peopjo woke up to seo tho whofe*3S^hWr*wV>13j.jj were it town or country, shrouded in spotless white. Farmer Boyd's sheep, seemed to know what was on the wing, for they crowded together under"the tiecs on tho close of that New Year's day. as u sort of preparation for the uight. Tho ucxt morning, loug before day, tho farmer and his sons were in the meadow, heedless of the thick blinding snow, resolved to preserve the flock ; and if they had not been up and active, the greater number of Fnrincr Boyd's valuable nouthdowns would have been ouriud in the snow-drilt, so sudden and violent was tite fall, so deep and dan gerous were the drills. The farmer said ho'should not have saved half but for the perseverance of j his little d.-g?cot a abet p dog, but a small pet ol bis daughter's,' a little sagacious creature "that was often snub bed b< Canst it was uot "thorough bred," and so they forgot that it was ttwruwjh hearted :',-;a queer thing, who. with a species of animal economy, always ran iru three legs, giving one of the four rest, aud another a rest in its turn. Very early ou that -purtLular mor.-.ing, between scratching and barking and Shining, she had managed'to waken her master before daybreak on -the"3M of ?January. But that did not, content her; j ?heu the door was opened she ran to ibe window, and the firmer, seeing it was nearly bhtcked up by snow, roused hi.* sons and set off to se ? after his sheep. The dog at first wished t accompany *\ie party, but immediately tin leaving the porch she became ' buried in the j snow., and quickly floundered hack again, i ! and alter being called "good dog" and 'wise Peg" by her young mistress, she sat quietly down um the warm kitchen hi HVtb, in t'sleeping, however, but cock ing first One ear, and then the other, and quietly .moving her etuiupy tail wh n the master's voice was heard in the distance. The farmer-knew there would be a still heavier fall, for the clouds were weighted with snow. "Mary," he said to his daughter, when he returned, "see that there is a good lot of pea soup made ; tho cottagers beyond the croft will be glad of it, for their masters are froreu out of work already." Mary, like a good girl, said "Yes, j father ;" but while she shook the snow flakes off his coot *?ho added. "Father, what can poor dour Aunt Liddy and her one armed b?y do this weather /"' "Wha,t is that to thee ?" he answered sharply. Mary said no more ; but she raised her beautiful large eyes to her father's and he saw they were full of **' : ? IBfiW? tears. The# trees all round the farm looked lovely, coated with the glitteriug snow, and one of the farmer's sons cleared a place for the wild birds to food on; 'hey oloared it again and again, for the snow continued to fall. "O dear!" said Mary to her brother Tom, "I wish father would forgive his sister, and lot her aud little doe come hero to us; he is so kind, in his rough way, to every oue. If she did marry t.. jji.. -u j: ? t ? - . ? .';" - * --= '-'-v -?'?? ~'-V *??*?? *??'*' by refusing to leave her husbaud ; and i now that he ir> dead?"Mary paused. Tom rubbed his curly red head with his very red hand. Tom was called "practical." "I don't Seo what little Joe could do bore, with only one arm. Which ol them is gone"?" he said at l..st. "Tlic left." "(Jh ! well, lie could 'tend day sohool and .Sunday school; they might make a scholar of him morv than ever they could make of me " "Dear Tonil," said Mary, "wo must get ut fulhor's heart somehow, and nil will lie weil. 1 cunnot bear to think of their htuning, perhaps, in that horrid London.' ? /* *4linrrid Lftodou !" repeated Tom. "I like that 1 Oranges down here a penny apiuce, and there Frank Fowlof got three for a peuuy?such beauties !" On New Year's Day' tho^ "Aunt vLidd'V who had such a strong hold ou Mary Boyd's sympathy- was literally without tiro, attd almost without food; I the miserable actio.where eh.* starved and shivered let In the bitter wind, and that day little Joe had done everythiu^ but steal or ? Dec to pvoouro his uiothor food. Ouo geutleumn who had tossed him three-pence for holding his horse said he w?s. a tine little fellow, aud if he had . two arms instead of one, he would get bim into the shoeblack brigade. Joe . colored, but quickly recovering himself, answered; "Please, sir, a willing mind is equal to another arm." The gentleman smiled, shook his head, and trotted off. Poor Joe put up his hand to the remains of his arm it had bceu amputated just above the elbow in conscqueuoe of an accident; "I only wish 1 hud to do all I could do with one arm," he murmured. Ue wandered up und down the streets; tho air wus grow ing ooldor and colder; he was very hungry, but he passed the temptations of bakers' aud cooks' shops, tightening his fiugera more closely on the littlo coin. "I may get something for mother ; I have another penny," .murmured the boy. lie entered a baker's shop and asked lor a penny loaf, !?jiug dews hi? three-pence,?Suoh a fat, jolly baker, rolling and l.iUghing behind a counter piled with cakes und dainties, looked in ftis pale, pinched luce, bluish from cold. "Only a peuuy loaf New Year's night, my littlo man ? Well, there it is." Joe took it up ; us the baker tpok up the coin he fixed his eyes on the b<>y, aud said, steruly, "You are young to iollow so bad a trade; this is bad money." '?Bad money," repeated Joe. "O, sir, I hud it from a kiud-gentlemanfor hold ing his horse." "Have you uo other money ? . . "Another penny." "And why did you not pay for the loaf with that?" "Please, sir, I wanted change; I wanted to buy something more for ray mother," and his latge blue eyes filled with tears. . -I must kee^^t^c^^^fe: a shnmc for ? gentleman to do such a tjting as to give bad money to a child like that I" ??Please, sir, I know he didiii'l intend it; he spoke kind to me; he didn't know it was bad." The jolly baker looked atteutivoly at the littlo boy. "See bore, my lad, if you knew the coiu was bad, the sin will bo heavy on -you; but I. believe you did not ; yon wanted tootf for your mother, and you would uot let blame fall on the absent ?two Pght things. God' help*?you child !" he added, pityingly ; "you look half starved ! Give tue back that loaf, and here is a bigger one ; aud, missis '. hand over one of those ounces of tea and half pounds of sugar we made-up for our p tor customers ; and there's three penuy pieces tor you, little one ; only always look to your silver before you pass it in future !" Joe could not speak for quite a min ute ; ho walked to the shop door, aud then turned back. "If you please, you do uot think 1 kuew that -voncy wus bad !" "No." "Thank you, sir, Til?never forget it ?never, sir !" and giving vout to one large sob, he left the shop. There was feasting iu the widow's at tic that night; to be sure, Joe was obliged to make a candle screen with his hat, or the poor thin little candle would hav?i been blown out by the wind iiinv niiibiitiii iiuuagU ioo -?.?mui wiudow ; but there was n bluish cup of hot water with an infusion of tea aud milk, and a tiny little fire; and there was much thankfulness fur what would have scorned to many very small mercy ; and there wa* earnest prayer, and, hud iliud under thoir scanty olothiug, the mother and child slept aounddy, aud iwokc in the morning to tho conscious ness that as tho suoW, having found its way through the panes of the attic win dow, was heaped ou the floor, aud the neighboring roofs aud chimneys wore like mountains of "dazs?ng white," thore must have been a."heavy fall" during the night. "We're snowed up, Joe'" said tho poor widow ; "and tho eud will soon come ; this cold will kill mo." "Not a bit of it, mother," said little Joe, cheerily, while moulding u 6uow ball out of tho snow ou tho floor. ' I ahall p;o out as a snow-boys while you remain there, just 8,8*1 wrap^you up, aud see what lots of cash I shall eafru. God, has sent the snow to be our ^Yiettd.; the aims Bfr?li make us firo," "caj- p??r njaimed ehirdl'* whispered the widow to herself, but God boa gru uTbuHly jjlvcu hini aolS^fittt? heart!" Tho snow ha?! fttvijf is^'twavily and as rapidkjM in -Xoudoritffe in the county.

The only ia*od in onr villas was made by the rougj^oicea of specula ting navvies, who kerj|pj?at*uually sug gesting that we mtj^ have the snow cleared.

A After a little coug?bratioo. heedless of snow 'drift or snY^I'Ower, he took his way to the bake$'si and entered the shop hopefhh "Drat those boys,X! #?d' tho baker's wife, "they ncithcr^'rve uor take rest !

The baker euterednche>shop b. fore his wife had time to answer. "A shovel aud a broom, is it ?" eaid tho jolly baker. "Aud brcauso I was' kind to you yesterday, you expect me to be kind to you to-day?" , "Hope, sir, not quite expect." "Ob: oh !". b.ii.l tho baker, "chops words, dees it ?? And if. I did lend them, how do 1 know yon'Wftuld return them?" ixl would promise pou, sir; mother knows I ucver told a lie in my life; you might go to mother and ask her." The baker lent the child what ho re quested; at five o'clock he had u?t re turned. "I told you so," said the baker's wife. "Yes, my dear; but as you did not believe what you said yourself, how could you expect me to believe you ? The child has an honest face ; has, I am sure, becu well brought up, and, more over, is very like poor Liddy Boyd." "She. was a fool," said tho baker's wife. "Because sho married the man she loved ? Did uot ij ?U do the same ?" "I did not marry a scamp," answered tho baker's wifo; ami though she was dusting the counter with her apron, she looked proudly at her husband at the same time. "Here comes our little snow boy,'' said tho baker, as doe, weary and foot sore, but smiling, went pust the window. "Here's your hhbvwS&ud broom," said tho little fe I low, "and many thanks, sir; anu, pica?, x wuut u i.,u.j,tuuj and hero are tho coppers?L made tenpenco halfpenny; aud at oue house the lady, besides the mouey, gave me this tract, and a groat bun." "Which you ate?" Raid tho baker's wife. "0 no !? he exclaimed; "L kept it for mother.'.' "What is your mother's uame ?" in quired tho baker. ' Mrs Loyd sir." "Mrs. Lloyd ?" he repeated. "Liddy Lloyd ?" "1 don't know, sir, as to the Liddy ; I never heard her called anything but Mrs. Lloyd. I oall hor mother." "Was her nameBoyd before she mar ried ?" "It might be, sir; she has a brother, I know?Uucle Boycd." "Does he uot take oaro of her VI "No, sir; he's very bard, sir, 1 know, to mother; and {die prays so much for him ; double to what she doaa for me. Qood night, sir, and mis trees !" He paused, and then asked, "If it was to snow again to-night, sir, would you please loud me them things again ?" "I'll tall you wo go ajcjg," answered tho bakor. "I shall go with you to aeo your mother." Joe was very glad when the baker ju oTbeed h n solitary cold baud in his large Warm ?be j and when the child said he must stop and inquire at the coal-shad about couch, his friend only laughed and astonished htm by the rapidity and the magnitude of bis 'purchases?-hot soup and meat from a cookshop, tea, sugar, three large caudles, and a hundred of coal, and all for Joe's mother 1 At last the child burst into tears. "What is the matter now, little, snow boy ?" inquired the baker. '?Nothing, sir ; only mother will have all the wants without my help \'r "3fo, my child ; it is all through you that she will receive this little help from an old friend. If you had not practiced self-help, and loved your mother, you would nbfr have enlisted my sympathy aod'nad my help 1" ' "Mother was afraid ol the snow," said little Joe, "but I told her it came for ?m?a ?? 1 - "Did you ever bear this, little snow boy," inquired the baker?(l 'That all things work together for good to thoso who love the Lord V ."Yes, sir ; mother has said it, though she's so dull at times. This is the house, but I think you are too broad across the shoulders to get up the top stairs." For an instant the baker doubted aud looked iuquiringly at the child ; could it be that he had made up a story about bis I mother." But Joo added, "You con get up sideways, sir, us the landlady does I wheu she comes for rent." I think we all know bj* this time what a kind heart the baker had, and.can be iieve that he felt very sad when he saw the once pretty and bright village girl a faded wornout womau ! (lJoe should not have brought you here, Mr. Glascotc," she said, drawing a threadbare blanket around her. "I do not want to iutrude my poverty on any lone/' "* ?* " *?Mother/' interrupted Joe, "the gen tleman's very kind, but wc have money of our own, mother, I earned ten pence half-penny as a snow-boy ; did 1 not tell you the snow came for good?" "God sends poverty as well as richis,' observed lier visitor, "and if-wc knew all, onO is often ns great s blessing as the other; your life fell among hard lines, but that will make you. the hap pier, perhaps, by and by. At all events, among all your trials" (the baker laid his hand on Joe's head as he spoke") "he gave an angel to your bosom." "That's truo," faid the widow ; "but see how greatl}- evcu my poor child has been maimed and nfflictcdj" -~ "Losing my arm '" exclaimed little Joe. "Why, mother, that's a blessing ! ?I'll have the onc-armcd boy for my doo,' said one lady, and gke gave me two pence, and wheu the other lads said they would do it quicker, she repeated, 'Slow and sure.' A great big navy, who at Grst pushed mc off the pavement, when ho saw I had but ouc arm, patted mc on the back till I shook again, and said 1 was a brave little man, and he would let mc sweep where I liked ; he spoke as if tho street belonged to him.

AMERIOA~T?ii CON SEQUENCES OF HORACE UREBLBY'b ELECTION?PaOPIIETIC TALB. The followiug is supposed to have been written in 1892 hy Max Adbler who was a witness to the terrible scenes which occurred at the time of which | the story tells; . "You ask ma to tell you, nay children, of tho evcuts which immediately pro ceeded the destruction of the once great American Union, and tho capture of the country by its present European rulers; and to say something also of the causes which led to these deplorable results, undertake the task with a .heavy heart, for whenever I revert to .that terrible < time I cannot help contrasting our proud condition np to that ratal year; With the humiliating position oecupied now by tho American people. The story ia^rj short one. In tho fall of 1872 Horace Greeley, the editor of a newspaper In New York, was elected President of the' United States. The people voted fof him because they believed him to be an honest man. But he was vain and weakT | and he entertained certain fanatical and I preposterous notions?about agricultu I ral matters, for lustancvj he was detor- | mined to force upon the people at all I hazards and despite |alLopposition. He believed, among other things, that every man ought to go to the Wcs& to eafn his bread, and long before be was chosen President he used to advige .everybody to move to that region as a cure for all the disasters |which could befall the human family. "As soon as he reached the executive mansion, which we used to call the White House, President Greeley organ ized an army of two hundred thousand men, and proceeded to force the Seaboard States westwjrnr* at -the point of the bayonet. Tho utmost violence trie uscHf" Those who resisted were shot dow'4, aud their dead bodies were carted off to a national factory which the President had established for making domestic iTertilis? era All tho large cities of the East were depopulated, and'town* ifere empty. The^aarojy swept < before it millions of men, women nnd children, ubtfl the vast ^plains west ot Kansas were reached, when the pursuit ceased, mid the army was drawn up in a continuous liuo with, orders to shoot any who attempted te visit the East. Of course hundreds of thousands of these poor creatures per ished from starvation. This seemed to frighten President Greeley. and he sent a me?sage to Congress recommending that 700,000 volumes of a comic book of his, eufilled 'What I Know About Farming,' should bo voted for the relief of the. starving sutferers. This was done, aud farming implements and seeds were supplied; and then tho millions ol wretched outcast* made on effort to till the ground. Of the results of this I will speak further on. "Iu the meantime the President was doing infinite harm to tho country in another way. His hand-writing was 80 fearfully and wonderfully bad that no living man could read it. And so, when he seut his first annual message to Cou grcsa?tho document was devoted whol* ly to tho tariff aud to agriouhuro?'-a sentence appeared which subsequently was ascertained to be 'Largo cultivation of rutabagas aud -beans is the only hope of tho American nation, I am sure.' The priuters not being ablo to inter pret this, put it in tho followiug form, in which it wtnt forth to the world : 'Tho Gear of lluwia could jnot keep clean if he washed himself in tho whole Atlantic Ocean once a day.' Ttts perversion of the message was immedia tely telegraphed to Bussia by the Kubj iau Minister, and the Cxur was so in dignant that he instantly declared war. "Just at this time President Greeley undertook to writo some letters to Prince Bismarck upon the subjoct of potato rot, aud after giving his singular views at great length, he concluded with the statemeut that if the Emperor Wil liam said that t-ub-soil ploughing was not good in light soil, or that guano was better thau bonedust, be was 'a liar, a villian and a slave.' Of coarse the Emperor aleo immediately declared war, and became an ally of Kussia and of EogUnd, against which Utter country Mr. Greeloy h?d actually bnenn ties already, because one Queen in her speech from the throne, had declared t^bc Tribvnc.'c advocacy of a tariff eC pi? iron idootfiUry; aud turb tiie poaste etmsm re-*.
