While thus engaged, my attention was attracted bv the clear, yet sorrowful notes of a little girl, who seemed to be asking fur charity. Now this is such a common sight, n all large cities, that it hardly attracted rt second glance. She went to them all and t<>ld her story, jet more of them gave it credence enough to bestow aught. She came to my fiiend, who was seated but a few feet distant, and 1 overhead her story. ISliu wai a most beautiful child, apparently not iii'TO than eight years of age, and her destitute condition at once commanded my attfiit km. She had upon her feet a pair of old gaiters, without stockings, and her delicate little limbs were red and benumbed with the ii 11 - -< uiu.;i mi'i. j ier ouier garments were very jioor, ami in keeping willi lier destitution. My friend, whose large wesilth had always been the means of doing <:ood, happened to 1 ?e reading at the time, and paid but little attention to what was said. In faet, he had been often imposed upon about that time, and therefore paid hut little attention to what she told him. ' lleio,' said he, giving her-a gold dollar, ' take this and buy you some clothes ; now go home, quick.' I watched the expression of the child's countenance as she received the coin, and its very workings gave lie to the thoughts that she was an impostor. T nudged my -friend and directed his attention to it, and lie at once called her to him. ' Tell mo, sissy, what is your naino ?' ' Clara Wentworth, sir,' ehe replied promptly.

"With a buoyan' heart the poor littlo girl left the room, ana my friend seemed deeply moved. 4 Clara Trucman, was once the hello of ft , and can it he that Frank has dragged her down to this ?
