My God. to thee 1 lift my <?yes <
As round me fast the daylight diost
In silence bowed, 1 here "confess 1
My wanderings and my waywardness. <
The world around, that knew my sin,
Saw not the penitence within;
So here I hide from mortal face,
Behind a more than mortal grace.
The deep remorse, the shame, the tear
Confront no kindly vision here,
But Jle who bled i'or sinner's sake
Knows well the heart that sorrows
break. i
And lie whose judgment cast no stone
When with the sinner left alone, ,
Will read repentance in my plea,
Nor condemnation cast at me.
Then, let the world revile and blame. !
Misread my tears and scorn my shame,
He sees my heart is sad and sore,
And bids me rise and sin no more.

To how many thousand homeless, '
shelterless beings in a great city, docs
the very name of winter send a sluid- <
der over their attenuated frames, and j
cause them to think with fear and
dread of the sutTeriugs which must be
theirs before nature shall dispense '
with its lleccy mantle, and the sun !
cheer them with its generous warmth. ]
Day after day do they crouch and
shiver in the cold streets, begging for 1
the pittance which is withheld for fear
they may be impostors, while the
wealthy man, w ho would not hesitate 1
to spend thousands for bis ow n pleasure,
goes on his way congratulating
himself that he has not been imposed '
upon, while the poor wretch who had
hoped to receive a few pennies, draws
his rags closer around him. and wonders
how many hours will elapse ere *
gaunt starvation claims him as his victim.
Should that p<x)r beggar, starving
for the want of the few crumbs which
fall unheeded from the rich man's
table, ask himself, and not without
^ reason, whether there is one who
watches the sparrow's fall, the godly
would turn away with horror at the :
sentiment, and refoice again that they '
did not give alms to one who refuses
to beliCvc. or question the existence of

< | Day after day do wo read, and in a
"* moment forget, of some one who was I
fashioned in Cod's our likeness lying
dead for want.
Dead?for want of a crust!
Dead in tlie cold night air!
Dead?and under the dust.
Without ever a word of prayer:
In tlie heart of the wealthiest city,
In the most Christian land.
Without ever a word of pity.
Or the touch of a kindly hand.
Although onr story necessitates our
giving the history of the lives of some
of those persons who beg rather tiian .

exception rather than the rule, and

Had the reader hcen in Paris on tliis
winter day, and gone to the Church
St. Sulpice. lie would have seen the \
poor cripple Pierre gazing around in
- ,JTiliWm5-'\Vns"Tuf1ei:Ty~ei)ld. and the 1
snow, which had fallen all night, was 1
still covering the cold earth with its ,
shroud.
Pierre, clothed in rags, limps pain- '
fully along, stopping every now and
then to breathe upon 11is purple ling- ,
ers,or swing hisarmsioiufu.se some
warmth in his chilled body.
In a strong Contrast to him is the ,
well-dressed, wellfed Jacques. who
meets him wit11 ;i look of scqrn. ,
"Have the women not come yet?"
asked Jacpies, in the tone of a man
speaking to his inferior.
"No. not yet: mother and Mademoiselle
Louise are busy elsewhere, no
doubt ," replied Pierre, while he gazed '
on his comfortably clad brother, and !
wondered whvthev. sons of one hither
should 1m.' In such dilTcri-iit circiun- ,
stances.
"They ought to he here." said .lac- (
qucs, the handsome, impatiently. .
"The services will soon he over, and '
tliev will miss t he charitable idiots."
"They will he here in pood time,"
said the cripple, as if to excuse their .
absence. "ton need not worrj tibout ,
t hem."
"it will he none too soon if they
come now," was the angry exclamation,
as the loving son went to seek '
some shelter from the storm, where
he could wait until the coining of his ~
mother, from whom he expected to *
get money enough to pay for his
night's carousal at t lie nearest cabaret.
I'ierre moved away. a> though ex- '
peeling a blow (which was not uneoin- l.
mon) front his brother, lie seemed to
be trying to make up his mind to say '
something to his brother, and judging
from the length of time it took him, lie
did not expect a favorable answer to
his prayer.
At last he went toward Jacques,and i
in a slow, hesitat ing way, said: <
"Jacques, 1 have got a favor to ask t
of you.
"If it is money, 1 haven't got any." t
answered the elder brother, moving away.
t
"No no. ' answered I'ierre quickly: 1
"it is not money hut. look here, Jac- >
ques, when you are angn with me. 1
curse me, heat me. if you want to. hut l
do not call me cripple not not w hen
Louise is present \
"Jacques looked at his brother, as if i
doubt ing whether he had In aid aright. |
and then, as he saw the supplicating \
look on the deformed hoy's face, he 1
broke out into a coarse laugh. a
"Indeed!" he sneered. "We must
speak to monsieur respectfully: take l

eany a sword, 1 suppose."
The pie,tlire which lbs coarse taunts h
had called up was soeoinieal to his f<
mind t hat lie was obliged to stopspeak- u
ing and indulge in another hearty I
laugh. ii
An expression of pain passed over
Pierre's face. He had hoped that his I
brother would grant this simple favor, n
and his sneering words cut the poor h
fellow to t he heart. ja
' Jacques!" he said, in a tone of sad- si
ness and reproach. a;
"So it. hurts your feelings to he call- e?
ed cripple, does it ?" eoiit inued Jacques
ina voice that hurt his brother more w
than his blows would. "Well, look at w
yourself what you are?" ai
"1 am a poor, deformed cripple," an- ol
swercd Pierre, as lie brushed awa\ the sji
rising tear. "And to whom do i owe!

for him?'
"YouHe! it was&fclouk." intorHilit2d
Jacques, fiercely.
"Thut is always your way," coritlttnod
I he cripple, "to make some one
ids*- steal for you. That was what
forced poor Marianne ? "
"Marianne!" exclaimed Jacques, as
he raised Ills hand to strike the one
who thus brought up the past. "Don't
you dare to mention that ungrateful
fool's name to me again. She \v:is a
heart less jade, who would rat her go to
prison than giv<> me her money," and
Jacques lurnc<KDvav with an expression
of disgust at lh<> idea of such iugrat
it ude.
"She saved you from a punishment,"
said Pierre, who was ever ready to
plead for the cauaeofthe unfortunate.
"That is enough!" cried the ruftlan,
stamping his foot angrily. "1 don't
want io hear anything more aliout
her. I have found another, who is better
looking and more useful. As for
you, as you don't want to l>e called
cripple any more "
And .lacques hesitated a moment, as
if lie were searching his brain for some
name, while Pierre, thinking that his
brother had relented, and was about
to answer his prayer, exclaimed anxiously:
"Well?"
"I'll reehristian you Cupid."
Again a look of intense pain passed
over Pierre's face, jus his brother's
laugh rang out loud and shrill.
"ho as you like," he said, wearily, as
if resigning himself to uU the insults
bis brother might s-'c lit to heap upon
him.
"Now I come to think of it," said
Jacques, contemptuously, "it is only
when Louise about that you object to
he culled cripple: perhaps " and as lie
was no longer aule to control himself,
he burst out into bis fiendish laughter
igain, at some thought which had entered
his wicked brain. Then, chuckling
to himself, lie said, shaking Jiis
head in a mocking way: "All, that
would he too good."
"What do you mean?" asked Pierre,
not understanding his brotlicr's mirth.
"You are not so stupid after all,"
laughed Jacques. "She is blind, and
lot sn't know the difference between a
handsome man like me and a miserable
abort ion like you." and again his
mirth resulted in laughter, while lie
exclaimed: "You're in love?in love
v\ it h a blind girl."
"I?" said Pierre, in surprise, as if
hardly understanding what his brother
had said, and at tin* same time looking
down upon liis misshapen form.
"1? In love?"
"Why then, are you ashamed of l>cing
called cripple before tier? Afraid
she'll lind out your beautiful shape,
eli?"
"Yes, yes, it is so." said the j>oor
l?ov, as if the words came from him involuntarily.
"I want to think there
is one in the world who does not regard
me wit li disgust. 1 f she t bought
1 was like others.she might have some
feeling ol friendship for me. Put in
love in love with her, who is beautiful
enough to he an angel?"
And there was upon Pierre's face, as
he spoke of the blind girl, a light
which is rarely seen, and then only
w hen it is lit by ;i soul pure and noble.
Jacques looked upon his brother in
surprise, lie sjiw in that uale face
>onicthing Unit In* had neversecn before,
and could hardly repress his astonishment
.
"Mow the devil did you find that till
nit? 1 don't know or carc anything
it?out her goodness," he said, after a
ihort pause. "liosh for all that -ami
is to her beauty, 1 know that her eyes
ire more use to her now than if she
sould see with t hem."
"Yes yes. she is blind." said Pierre
;adlv, "hut her face is so sweet that it
would move a stone to pity, and her
Hl? r uVt y Yfih'f'11 "aimosl*fear"that she
an see me."
"There there." said Jacques, who
tad not heard the latter part of the
tcnlcuue, hut who had started toward
iomc drinking saloon where ho would
ind more congenial companions, "stop
rour muttering and come along w it h
ne. I want you. Cupid; come!"
For once Pierre determined to resist
lis brotIter's tyranny.
"1 w ill not go." lie said, in a voice
lie vainly endeavored to make sound
lirm.
i-lii!" cried Jacques, in amazement.
"What's this? rebellion, eh! now do as
1 order you.or look out for a lieatiiig,"
ind the brute in human shape went
( ward the cripple with hand uplifted
o st i ike.
Just at that moment the sad, sweet
mice ot a young girl was heard not far
>tT,and Pierre started with delight: lie
ceognized the tones of that, to him,
mgei song, and his purpose was changed
immediately.
Like ;i voice from heaven did the
lOles. welling over with despair,speak
:o the deformed tad. tilling his lieart
.V ii h peace and love.
Jacques," he said softly, "you are
>lder tli.in 1, you're straight and
urong.and I must submit to you: tint
,vhen 1 see the use you make of your
a length. 1 am satistied with my ugly
ihape and miserable weakness.''
\nd as he tinished speaking, lie
:urned in the direct ion from which the
,uund proceeded, and stood in anxious
wpectaney. await ing the approach of
lie blind girl, who had so entirely
. hanged i he course of his life.

The minister of police was so aslonshed
by the sudden act ion on the part

With a low low to the now

eft the room, and proceeded directly
o t he apart ments of the countess.
Meeting a servant as he went
hroUtfh the lofty halls, lie directed
iiin to wait on t he < 'oiint de LiniereS;

liuht prove fatal.

sequences If her secret was made
known to hef husband, she hardly
thought of What she had said, and
consequently lielieved that the count,s
order for his nephew to return to him
after escortIng his aunt to her apartments,
referred only to the question of
the marriage which the king desired.
It was an exceedingly simple task
for the chevalier now to induce the
Countess do Liniores to call upon the
young girl lie loved, and after giving
her Henriette's address, and receiving
her assurance that she would visit the
young girl on her return from church,
the chevalier took his departure, leaving
the countess to wander tsiek in
tiie dark and terrible mazes of the
past, while he should seek Henrietta's
society, and lie happy as lie basked ill
the sunlight of the loved one's smiles.
The servant wliom l)e Yaudrcy had
sent to the assistance of the count,
found that gentleman In the greatest
state of excitement, consequent upon
the behavior of his nephew.
"Send the chief clerk to mo," said
Ik; Linlercs to the servant.
When the clerk entered, lie found
l.i.. ..Ut../ I
in-, viiiui 111 a more quiet rrame of
mind; but from bis manner of speaking,
the elerk knew that his superior
was in no enviable mood.
"You will find out immediately
where the Chevalier l>e Vaudrey has
concealed the girl whom he carried
from the garden of Hcl-Air!"
The clerk's movements were just as
mechanical and automaton-like as
ever, and lie would have preserved the
same machine-like movements had he
found the minister of Police dead in
his chair, instead of simply in a rage.
In a few moments the clerk returned.
"The young woman is residing in
the Faubourg St. llonore," lie said,
stitlly, "hut there is reason to believe
that the chevalier does not contribute
to her support."
"Have a guard ready to accompany
me. I, myself, will arrest this girl."
Not a look of surprise on the subordinate's
face. He evinced no surprise.
if he felt any. but left the room
toexcute t he count's demands.
"1 will see if this insane idea cannot
he driven out of the hoy's head." said
Dc Linieres, talking half to himself.
"The girl must lie taken to La Salpet
riero, and the chevalier may cool
his ardor in the Hastile until he can
look at the matter in a sensible light."
Thus did the worthy minister of
police imagine that he could separate
two loving hearts, and cause one to he
false to the other.
His own marriage had lieon one of
blind oliediencc to his parents, and
with a heart that heat only in tinhope
of royal favor, he could not understand
tiie fidelity of boin love.

LOOK OUT FOR METORS.
Astronomer* Kxpect tlie l.eonid*
About November ttt-ltl.
People who took so much interest
in the expected big shower of meteors
three years ago which failed to materialize,
may get ready for something
to happen the latter part of next
week when astronc .ors all over the
country will be on the lookout again
for these celestial visitors which have
so far failed to put in their appearance.
The possibility exists that they
may still put in an appearance in considerable
numbers, but if there should
lie :v uri'iit. riiu.iluu tJ.ie u..a? o.
jority of astronomers would be as
much surprised as they wen* by the
total failure of the expected shower
in lS'.m. At the same time noltody
whose business it is to watch celestial
phenomena will dare to neglect the
vigil next week beeausc of the bare
possibility th.it the meteors may come
after all.
It' they do. there will be a great
scramble to revise the calculations
by which the failures of lS'.w, two
and l'.KH have been explained. The
lielicf now is that Jupiter and Saturn
drew the main swarm of thu meteors
aside from their previous path some
time lietween the last showers in istii;
and 1807 and the end of the nineteen
century, Hut there may possibly be
another swarm traveling hi a parallel
path, which will meet the earth this
year. <)ne unforfunate circumstance
is that the full moon will be shilling!
at the time when meteors are due, it
they come at all. This would make
the faint ones invisible. < >n the other
hand, many of the November meteors
are large and bright, and these would
not be much observed by the moonlight.
The time to be on the watch
for them is after midnight on Thursday,
Friday and Saturday next week.
The direction to look is toward the
northeast, the apparent center from
which the meteors radiate when they
appear in number, being the sickleshaped
figure marked out by principal!
stars in the constellation Lion.

DEATH OF A FOOL.
A VilrMliui Whether It should He
Mourned or Applauded.
The Washington Post says It is a
f|UestSon for serious consideration
whether the death of a fool should be
mourned or applauded by enlightened
soeiety. At Cold Springs Harbor, N.
Y., the other night a young fellow
named Volkman volunteered to let a
patent medicine fakir shoot an apple
olT his head, a la William Tell, and
v?cii? nuuuy Kineu ?iL me uuru nre. A
troupe of wandering vagabonds was
visiting Cold Springs Harbor exploiting
Llie sale of some cure-all prophylactic,
and one of the features was the
apple shooting act. The marksman
always called for volunteers, none of
his gang having the slightest anxiety
to assume the part, and the night of
the 2r?th instant young Volkman responded.
lie was a barber, eighteen
years of age, and the support of a
small but needy family, but 1 lis profession
had familiarized him with
deadly weapons, and lie cheerfully assumed
the role of "Jimmy." As we
have already said, lie was killed at the
third (ire,and now the question arises:
Shall we rejoice or weep over the consummation?
of course, unthinking
humanitarians will weep, and there is
much to warrant them in weeping.
On the surface, a bright young life
has been snuffed out. He was only
eighteen, lie was a barber. An aged
grandmother and other relatives were
interested in his advancement, and
fond parents lived In Germany. There
was no telling what he might or might
not achieve. The future was all liefore
him, and yet lie was sacrificed to
a mountebank's vanity and the vicious
appetite of a credulous and gaping
crowd. That is one aspect of the incident,
but there is another. We
must consider tlie possibilities of a
youth capable of such mad folly as
voting Volkman gave way to. It is
proper to inquire whether he could
ever have become a good and useful
citizen. The most dangerous member
of society is a fool. Nobody but a fool
would have put an apple on his head
and stood there for a common fakir to
shoot it off. Volkman may have been
possessed of all the public and domestic
virtues. He may have been an excellent
barber, with every prospect of
rising in his profession. No doubt he
enjoyed the confidence and good will
of the most respectable citizens of
Cold Springs Harbor, but w;is it
safe?for lie might have marrie
1 and multiplied? to perpetuate
him? A man capable of doing as lie
did must be regarded as :l mi>naiv
Careless of his own life, why might
he not have become careless of the
lives of others? It is not as if he
were a bricklayer or a tailor. Persons
engaged in those occupations may
build a smoky chimney or a pair of
trousers that bag at the knee, hut a
fool h;."ber may shave of a mole or
cut a throat. It is an open question:
Shall the fool he killed, or shall he l>e
permitted to increase and multiply?
Columbia's Steamboat I.inc.
The Columbia State says since the
organization of the new Columbia and
(ieorgetown Steamboat company the
directors and ntlicers of the company
have not lieeu idl<? though the public
oas iicarn very little of what lias been
gohig on toward bringing about the
desired opening of river navigation.
As a matter of fact the lirst installment
of the stock has already been
called in. and the president of the
company, Col. John C. Haskell, has
been at the North for some days getting
the proper bids for the furnishing
of the boats with which the line
will he established. As soon as lie returns
witli these figures the order h>r
the boats will lie placed and will provide
for prompt delivery. The company
proposes to purchase only lirsLelass
boats. < hie of the directors
Thursday said that the lioard hoped
to open the line by the tirst of January.
but it would certainly l>e in operation
by tin' lirst day of February.
It is very likely that the opening of
the river lioat line will he made the
occasion for quite a popular celebration
anil jolli beat ion.and the tirst trip
down the river will probably lie made
by quite a party of the live business
men who have endeavored to reduce
Columbia's freight rates and make
Columbia what she should be the
wholesale centre of this part of the
count ry.

Monday nitiht, Nov. ."i, between
dark and ten o'clock, Mr. It- It. Kline
was shot and killed a Unit three mil* s
east of Klko. The murder occurred
witliin a few hundred yards of Mrs.
McCur ley's residence. About 11
o'clock the same night. Mr. Will McCurlev
came to Klko and to the residence
of Mr. W. M. Jones, where Mr.
Kline boarded, and told Mr. Jones
that Mr. Kline was dead and he l?elieved
that his brothers, Men and
Arthur, had killed him.
Mr. Jones and three other citizens
or rciKo, proceeded tot lie MeCurley
neighthnrhood. called oil George MeCurley,
a married son of Mrs. MeCurley.
who showed them where Mr.
Kline lay?a few feet out from the
road, on his hack, in a ditch, stone
dead. There was a large woun 1, evidently
made by a gunshot, that penetrated
the base of the brain and must
have caused almost instant death.
There were small shot wounds on the
neck, face and Ixxly.
George MeCurley stated that his
brothers, lien and Arthur, had killer:
Kline, hut neither he nor Will could
give any cause for the deed. After
the killing lien and Arthur MeCurley
went to Hlaekvillc, telegraphed to the

7 feet touched my hl|>a. I was as helpless as a liaby for nearly twelre months. B
m The lumclrj of my arms and leas were hard and shriveled up. I suffered death a B

^ came to see me. Ho told me to try your 'l It nr. cm icius." He Rot me one bottle B H
"f the medicine and I beiran to take it and before the ttret bottle was used up I ? I
