THE LITTLE SflOW-BOY.
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.
When Joe got out at^-jfiM^et door the
streets wer? uear^S^ocked up, the
omnibuses did not'J*n, the fow cabs
that appeared cam?-*ut With all the
dignity of horses; bufc^?e ?<>?? remark

opinion, a more tbAgj#^r.,.tmare ?f noise
and bustle; but on'tH^d ?' January it
was as though we w^**trioJ&en wtth a
plague. The only ia*od in onr villas
was made by the rougj^oicea of specula

Little Joe was s&#&whafc perplexed,
after bis dctormiu*j|*o*U to go out as a
"snow-boy," the fact^at be had neither
shovel nor broom. A
After a little coug?bratioo. heedless
of snow 'drift or snY^I'Ower, he took
his way to the bake$'si and entered the
shop hopefhh
"Drat those boys,X! #?d' tho baker's
wife, "they ncithcr^'rve uor take rest !
What do you want mMC
"Please, ma'm, if} bad a broom and
a shovel I could ear.?;8omcthiug for my
mother by clearing *\%IX)' snow."
"Well I"
"I thought the ?$fl gentleman hero,
who was so kind to rf|*^yesterday, might
leud them to me, Mother and 1 had a
beautiful tei last fight?thank you,
ma'am; but we ha\fc very little of auy
tdiiuv iiir.Lo duvJa^flhsW.
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. Mother,
my half arm gets mo smiles and kind
words and friends ; I was right about
the snow, mother; 1 was right about
the snow !"

The kind baker found his way to Mr.

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
