The Orphans. Are you asleep, Susie?" whispered a half sobbing voice, coming from a sorrowful looki little boy, as he bout over hja sis ter's Ad. "No Benny; what's the matter? Does it hurt you yet where he whipped you?" "Yes, awfully; and I'm so hungry. lie wouldn't give me any supper. 1 tell you I won't stand it; l'm going to run away." "And leave me, Benny ? I should die in this old poor-house alone ;" and Susie raised herself in the bed, and looked mournfully out of the large window. "Let's run away together! Wouldn't it be nice if it was summer? Then we could go away off in the woods, where nobody could find us, and pick berries and nuts to . at and have a splendid time." "Hush, Benny; talk low, or you will wake up some of the others. You know it isn't summer, and we should freeze and starve to death if we left here now !" "I'd ratlr freeze to death than be treat ed as I am; and I am about starved now," replied Benny, half-cryiug. "I'll tell you, Benny. My teacher told us last Sunday 'that everything belonged to God;' and she told us once, if we prayed - m earnest he would answer our prayers." "Don't you think, Susie," interrupted Bonny, looking wistfully out at the clear blue sky, lighted by myriads of bright stars, "that that big star up 'here is where God keeps all his good th like nice cakes and pies?" "Oh. no I of cour.:i; don't ; but I think he keeps his at ney in :t; and perhaps if we pray to lim very hard he will just drop us some down. Then we could (to just as we wanted to, and have everything we want. 0 Benny, let's kneel (own and pray this minute !" Down went four little knees, clasped were four little hands, closed were four litt'le eyes, and earnestly moved four little lips. God listened to their petition, and answered it in his own wise way. After their prayer was said they crept softly to the window and . looked anxiously up at the great star in the sky. Suddenly they clasped each other's hands, and Susie whispered joyfully, "lie did hear us! lie did hear us l lie did( hear us! I saw sonie thing bright fall right on that big house over there." "I suppose he didn't drop It 'zackly straight, or else the wind Nlew it away a little," said Benny. "Ilow shall we ever get it't" "We'll have to wait till morning, and then get off some way and tell the folks that live there all about it, and ask them to let us go up and get it. We must go to bed now, though, so we can get up early; and I'll tell you, Benny, maybe we wou't ever sleep in this old peor-house again," said Susie, as she kissed him good night. Mr. Herman Rock, the owner of the "big stone house," was a roured, delsolate old man. Once he had been, different, when his sweet wife and child were alive, but since their death he had grown crusty and miserly. So people were rather afraid of himi, and let him mostly to himself and his maiden sister, who kept house for him an was his only friend and companion. On the morning following the beginning of this story, as Mr. I'ock and his sister Celia wt re taking their morning meal m Iheir great clean kitchen. tihre came a timl knock at the door, and on opening it who should appear before them but little Susie and lBenny from the poor-house! The children both seemed very much frightened at first, but soon Susie sununoned up courage and related her story, about her lonely condi tion----how they were abused, their prayer and the bright thing they saw fall on the house, and then asked pe~rmiissioni to take a ladder and climi> up to get their treasure. She told her story so simpile and innocently that the two lieners' faces thst wvore an amused expression, which mooni softened into one of p)ity, and icy lettera that, had long bound Celia Itock's heart soon melited away in a flood of tears as she took lIhe lit. tIe ones ini her arms tad lavished en them ninny kind wvords and fond caresses. "'Give I henm sonice) biLk fast, thien come into 1,h Bitt ing-roonm.'" coimmainded Mr. Rp9k in a heatre votre as ho left the room. Celia Itock kniew by tihe changed look aind excited appearance of her brother that something uncommon was about to occur; but, she was not prepared for what happen edl when she came before himii. '"Celia Rock," said lie, walking hurrIedly across the roomi, "you and I have stiut out the sunlight fromn our lives long enough; we have locked up our talenits lonlg enouigh; we have hid( away our gold long enough. Laet us nowv undo the shruters and let in the sunlight: unfasten the rusty l-olts that bar in our talents and imuprove them, dig up our goldi and make use of it, that we may be as stars in God's hands to drop blessings amid comnforts to lis little chihdren.'' Bo Susie and1( Benny did find the gift God sent them--not iii a bundle of gold on the top) of Mr. Itock's hotise, as they had ex pectedl, buit ini a p)leasanlt 1home1 insid. And when in after years they prayecd for blessings which seemed so bright, they added trutstingly--remembering the past "'answer, Father in thine own way. The snow- ireaiker. The loose snowv drifts dleply b)etwceen Truckee -atnd Hierraville, Nevada. The mail is carriedl tri-weekly, hence the road has to be travele<d onie way each dlay. Dur ing the heavy winter weather the sleigh which carries the miad is drawn biy thiree * bhores, driveni tandem. By this imeanis a sIngle broad path is beaten in the midd(le of the roadl. When the storms are ragiing it is necessary to carry the mail oni horsuback. Its average wveight is from 100 to 150 pounds each trip. The mai-bags are straped oin two hmorses, which are 1led by the driver, Bol Rousseau, who rides a third horses. A fourth horse, with only a halter on, is turn ed loose to break the road. This horse is kept for this sole purpose, and is called the "snow-breaker." For six winters this ani mal has traveled the Sierra valley road. Turned loose at either Tlruckee or Sierra ville, ho will at once set out upon01 his dreary journef. The winds obliteratb all traces of she narrow path, but with marvelous instinct the horse follows its every turn and wind ing. Sometimes the huge dritte bewilder him for a moment. and missing the hard beaten path he sinks out of sight, in the logse snow. Out of sight Is used quite eliterally, for it frequently occurs that, his body is completely co9ered, and his head alone Is above the surface. I lihe knows on * 1 which side the trail lies, lie will p)lunige and struggle to regamn his foothold. If,' as sometimeos occuss, lie is confused as to the a proper directIon he possesses the wondlerfuil itstinct of keeping perfectly quiet until the driver dismounts from his horse and conmes iorward to poInt out the roadl. By means qaiong stick the driver finds the trail, and nga path for a few feet in front of the dleomfited snow breaker, speaks aii en A do~uraging word tothe poor animal. Every nerve and. musele is i mmedliately strained to-regaln the lost path, and the horse again rep#nqs, his task of gutde.

AGRICULTUR E. RAxslro'POTATos UNDICH STrAW. Occasionally some farmer iiasgreat suc cess in producing potatoes by diaoppiun the seed on green sward and coverint, it with refuse straw, old hay, or othe sorts of litter. When this Is the cas ho generally informs the public of hi method of cultivating potatoes and fo a time it becomes fashionable. 1Farm era who are not succesful in this ineth od of raising potatoes do not say any thing about it, and as a conscquenc the public are in ignorance in relatioi to the ratio that exists between failure and successes. It Is obvious that rais lug potatoes under straw or other litte can never become general for the rca son that sufiient material can no ordinarily be obtained for covering thi seed. Still most farAners can raise a small patch in this way to excellen advantage. The best results are ob tained by cutting the potatoes ll piece, of suitable size, dropping themn on a sot after the grass is a low inches high ata covering them to the thickness of siy inches whit refuse hay, straw, or ma ure, ashes, and line soil is an adv.an tage. 'I'he rain will carry them dowi to tihe roots of the potatoes. It Is no necessary to drop the potatoes in rows l'he pieces may belpi.ce 1 within a foo of each other, ats no cultivation Is re quired. A little earth thrown over ti t,craw covering will keep it in place and preserve tie moisture In it. Al most all the labor required to raise po tatoes in this way cotsISts In handliaat the material cmployed in covering Lill seed. The turf soon decays andal allord. sustenance for the growing potatoes 'rlt potatoes are very easily harvestet in the fall and come out of the stram almost' ats clean as if they itad beet washed.
