"TINY TIM." From (ti t'lrchangC. Toole was acting in London in "Tho Christmas Carol," playing Bob Utatchitt. A little delicato girl, ono of the childron of the dressor at the theatro, whose pale face and inter. osting manner fitted her well for the part, played Tiny Tim. The sickly little child was a favorite in the theatre, and especially so with Mr. Toole. During the performance of the piece, as the reader may remem bur, tho artists sat down rogularly to a sulpper of roasted gooso and plum pudding, which wts, in the p resent instance, golnnino material. Toolo was in thei habit of chopping the viands up and giving them to the children performing, and they, when they had oaton the first help ing, returned, liko Oliver, for more. Tiny Tim, howover, like Bonjamin, appeared to oat sovon times as n1meh0 as her brethren. Sho was the first to return hor plato for moro, and always mado away with more than an ordinary adult cotl cat of goose, supplolienting this collossal repast' with plum pudding eniough for half a dozen. Toole gradually fW't an aversion growing in him for the child. Her pallor and sickness senied to him suspiciously allied with,-indigestion, the first fruits of gluttony. He struggled against the fooling for a time, but it mast.ered him, and ho could not think kindly of the little one. One d,iy, in a fit of disgust, he sawed of'ta pice of meat and bones from the savory bird and filng it into her plate with a piece of phim pudding, which left little for.the others, hoping that for once the child would bo satisfied. 3ut she wasn't. With a punctuality worthy of a landlord, she returned for more. Toolo, was shocked. "My dear," said ho, "you will make yourself sick if you cat so much. I gav0 you enough for three or four big boys. You could not have caten it in this time. Whero are the bones ?" hoe addecd, looking at the empty plate. Thel: poor child hung her head. Toole spoke again rather sharply. 'Please, sir," sobbed Tiny Tinm, "my little sister ate it." And, following the direction of her eyes toward the wings, there he saw a hungry little horde of rag muffins pitching into the Christmas cheer with an onergy that indicated how much they needed it. A light was lot in upon him. Little Tiny had been filling the stomachs of her hungry little brothers and sisters, and not her own. She neve': took another grudged morsel from the table. Toole told the story to Dickens, who listened atten tively, and at its conclusion, with a bur.st of warmi enthusiasm, cried :"Give her the whole goose and half the p)lum. pudding next time ;" and if the actor did not followv the warm, hearted novelist's instrnctions to the letter, ho acted up t,o the spirit of them, and Tiny's family never lacked a square meal during 'the run of the picce. VICTonY ont DEATIL 1-The follow ing singular courtship of a Prairie Grove gallant is an illustration that "faint heart never won fair lady." He p)roposed, but was gently re, fused. He wvent at second and a third time with the samte result. But at length lie rode over one evening and told her that he would neither eat, sleep. nor sp)eak uintil she consented to be his bride. She invited him in to dinner ; lhe shook his head. She talked on ; lho more ly looked dejected, Then she re. quested him to take supper ; a nogative shake of the head was the only reply. She played, sang and ebatted on till bed time, when a servant showed him a room; a nogative shake. She tripped away to her chamber; lhe sat (detorminod Jy still: "I don't wvishi to cause tho de o. f a good officer, so I will Syon." The released one d with muIch eagerness said ~ y dear,,lhave y'ou any cold victuals on hand?
