THE BEGGAR.
A TRUE STORY AND NO FICTION.
One cold, windy morning, the last
Sunday in December, lfc'47, a half nak
ed man knocked timidly at the base
ment door of a tine substantial man
sion in the city, of Brooklyn. Though
the weather was bitter even for the
season, the young man had no clothing
but a pair of rag led cloth pants and
the remains of a flannel shirt, in rn-tny
large rents, and which exposed his
muscular chest. But, in sp te ol his
tattered apparel and evident fatigue, as
he leaned heavily upon the railing of
the basement siairs, a crit’cal observer
could not fail to notice a conscious air
of dignity, and the marked traces ol
cultivation and nllnement in his pale
and haggard countenance.
The jloor was speedily opened, and
disclosed a comfortably furnished 'oom
with its glowing grate of authracite, be
fore which was ^placed a luxuriously
furnished breakfast table. A fashiona
bly attired young man, in a brocade
dressing gown and velvet slippers, was
recliping nt a soft fauteuil busily read
ing the morning papers. The beauti
ful young wile had lingered at the ta
ble, giving to the servant in . waiting
her orders for the household matters of
the day, when the timid rap at the door
attracted her attention. Sue command
ed it.to be opened; but the young mas
ter of the mansion replied that it was
quite useless—-being no one but a
thievish beggar. But the door was al
ready opened, and the sympathies of
Mrs. Maywood enlisted at once.
‘Come in to the fire,’cried tbeyoung
wife, impulsively, ‘before you perish!’
The mendicant, without exhibits"
any surprise at such unusual treatment
of ft street beggar, slowly entered the
room, and manifesting a painful weak
ness at every step. On Ins entrance,
air. Maywood, with a displeased air,
•lathered up his papers and left th.
apartment. The compassionate lady
unwisely p’aced the half-frozen man
near the fire, while she prepared a bov/1
of fragrant coffee, which, with abundant
food, was placed before him. But no
ticing the abrupt departure of her has
band, Mrs. Maywood with a clouded
countenance left the room, whispering
to the servant to remain until the
stranger should leave.
She then ran hastily up the richly
mounted staircase and paused befote
the entrance (1 a small laboratory ami
medical libary, occupied solely by her
husband, who was a physician and
praeiical chemist. She opened- the door
and entered the room. Mr. Maywood
was sitting at a small table with his
head rtsting o.n iiis haiids, an; arently
in deep thought.
•Edward,’Said the young wife, gently
touching his arm, ‘I fear I have dis
pleased you; but the man looked so
wretched 1 could not beat to drive him
awav,' and her sweet voice trembled as
as she added—‘You kniw I take the
•sacrament to-day.’
‘Dear Maty,’ replied the really fond
husband, ‘I appreciate your motives.
I know it is pure goodness of heart
which leads you to disobey me, but
still I must insist u; on my former com
mands—that no beggar shall ever be
permitted, to enter the house. It is for
your safety that I insist upon it. How
deeply you might be imposed upon, in
my f;< quent absence from home, Ishud
der to think. The man who is below
may Lea burglar in disguise, and al
ready in your absence taking impress
ions in wax of the different key-holes
in the roorn,_so as to enter some night
at his leisure. Your limited experience
of city life makes it difficult for you to
credit so much depravity. It is no
obarity to give to street beggars; it on
ly encourages vice, dearest.’
‘It may be so,’ responded Mrs. May-
woo'l, ‘but it seems wicked not to re
lieve suffering and want, even if the
person has behaved badly, and we
know it. But I promise you not to
ask another beggar into the house.’
At this moment the servant rapped
vioently at the door, crying out that
the beggar was dying.
‘Come, Edwaid, your skill can save
him, I know,’ said his wife, hastening
from the room.
The doctor did not refuse this appeal
to his professional vanity, for he im
mediately followed her Hying footsteps
as she desended to the basement. They
found the mendicant lying pale and
unconscious upon the caipet, where he
had.slipped in his weakness front the
chair where Mrs. Maywood had seated
him...
/He is a handsome fellow,' muttered
the doctor, as he bent over him to as-
cer tain the state,of his pulse.
And well be might say so. The
glossy locks f off raveri hair had fallen
away froiri a broad white forehead ;.h'8
closed eyelids were bordered by long
raven lashes, which .lay like a silken
fringe upon bis pale, bronzed cheeks,
white a delicate aquiline nose, and a
square massivechin, displayed a model
ot manly beauty.
‘Is he dead ?’ asked the young wife
anxiously.
‘Oh, no; it is only a fainting fit. in
duced by the sudden change of tem
perature, and, prehaps, the first stage
of starvation,’ replied t]ie doctor sym
pathTzingly; He had forgotton for the
moment his cold maxims of prudence,
and added jM ‘he must be carried to
warm room without a fire, and placed
in ft 'comfortable bed.’
The coachman was called in to assist
in lifting the athletic stranger, who was
soon carried to a room in the chambers,
whore the doctor administered with bis
own hands port wine sangaree. The
young man soon became partly con
scious; but all conversation was forbade
him, and lie sank quietly to sleep.
‘He is doing well; let him rest as
long as he can; should he awake in our
abcence, give him beef tea and toast ad
libitum said the doctor professioually,
as he left the room.
In less than an hour afterwards, Dr.
Maywood and his lovely wife entered
the gorgeous church of the most Holy
Trinity.
Amid the hundreds of fair dames
that entered its broad portals, dressed
with all the taste and magnificence that
abundant wealth could procure, not one
rivalled in grace and beauty the orphan
bride of the rich physician. Her tall,
graceful figure was robed in a velvet
silk itiat only heigtened by contrast her
azure eyes, bright with the lustre
youthful happiness, yet ther- was a
touch of tender pity in their drooping
lids that won the confidence of every
beholder, ’/he sonwy ermine matilla,
which protected her from the piercing
wind, rivalled, but could not surpass
Jelicatepurity of her complexion.
Many admiring eyes followed the
faultless figure of Mrs. Maywood, as
she moved with unconscious grace up
the central aisle of the chr. b, but none
with more heartfelt devotion than the
young, wayward, but generous man,
who iiad reccrtly wed her in spite of
her poverty and the sneers of his aris
tocratic acquaintance.
The stately organ had pealed its last
rich notes, which were still faintly
echoing in the distant arches, when
stranger of venerable aspect, who Had
previously taken part in theseryic s of
the alta, rose and announced for his text
the off-quoted, but seldom applied
words of the Apostle:
‘Be not forgetful to entertain stangers,
for thereby some have entertained an
gels unawares.’
Dr. Maywood felt his forehead flush
painfully; it appeared to him for the
moment that the preacher must have
known his want of charity toward strap
gers, and wished to give him a public
lesson ; but he soon saw from the tenor
of his remarks, that his own guilty con
science had alone made the application
in this particular case. I have not
space, nor the power to give any syuop
sis of the sermon ; but that ir, combin
ed with the incident ot the morning,
effected a happy revolution in the minds
of at least one of i.s hearers—so much
so, that on the return of Dr. Maywood
from church he tej aired at once to the
loom of the mendicant, to offer such at
tentions as he migfeu stand in need of.
But the youug man seemed to be mucb
refreshed by rest and nutrious food, and
commenced gratefully thanking the
host for the kind attentions he had re
ceived, which, \vit!rout doubt, had sav
ed Ids life.
•I am not the beggar that I seem.’
said he. ‘I was shipwrecked on Fri
day night iu the Ocean Wave on tny
return lrom India. My name was
doubtless among the list of the.lost—
for I escaped from the waves by a mir
acle. I atternped to make my way to
New York, where I have ample funds
in bank now awaiting my orders; but
I must have perished from cold and
hunger, had it not been for you and
your wife’s provident charily I was
repulsed from every door as an impos
tor, and could get neither food nor rest.
To be an exile from one’s native land

the perils of the ocean, to die of hun

eit was truljra bitter fate, Sy name
is Arthur Wiflet,’ added the stranger.
‘Why that’s my wife’s family name
—she will be pleased at her agency in
your recovery*’
Of what State is she native?’ asked
Arthur Willet eagerly.
‘I married her in the town B ,
here she was born.’
At this moment, Mrs. Maywood en
tered the room, surprised at the long
absence of her husband.
Arthur Willet gazed at her with a
look of wild surprise, murmuring—
‘It cannot be— it cannot be. I am
delirious to think so.’
Mrs. Maywood gazed with little less
astonishment.
‘What painful rm'stery is this ?’ cried
Dr. Maywood excitedly, addressing his
wife, who then became conscious of the
singularity of her conduct.
Oh, no mystery,’ she replied, sighing
deeply, ‘only this stranger is the very
image of my long lost brother, Arthur.’
And Mrs. Maywood, overcome with
emotion, turned to leave the room.
‘Stay one moment,’ pleaded the
stranger, drawing a small mounting
ring from his Anger, and bolding it up,
asked if she recognized that telic?
,She shrieked aloud, ‘Merciful Heav
en ! It is my fathers gray hair! and you
are—’,
‘His.son, Arthur Willet, and your
loDg lost brothet!’
Mary Willet May wood fell upon the
njendicam’s breast, shedding tears of
sweetest joy and thanksgiving.
Dr. Maywood joined in cordial con
gratulation and sympathy, and retired
from the sacred hour of reunion, say
ing to himself
‘Be not forgetful to entertain stran
gers, for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares.’
Livingstone—Hi3 Probable Fate.
At the final fortnightly meeting of
the session of 1869-70 of the Royal
geographical Society of England, in
London, June 14, Sir R. Munchinson
referred to the present position of Dr.
Livingstone and the succor which is to
be s nt to him.
He said: There have been great mis
apprehensions about this affair, and I
have received numerous applications
from active young men anxious to go in
earch of Dr. Livingstone, supposing
that there was a real expedition about
to start from this country or elsewhere.
There is no sucit expedition even in
imagination, and certainly none in reali
ty, contemplated in anyway. Dr. Liv
ingstone has been more than three years
and a half in the heart of Africa, with
out a sing c European attendant. lam
not sure that the sight of a young gen
tleman sent out from England, who was
n< t acclimatized, would produce a bad
fieri ns .end of a good one upon tny
friend the Doctor, for he would have
to take care of the new arrival, who
would very soon die there, and the
poor Docter would have an additional
load. I have, therefore, to announce
that there is do such intention whatev
er. I have received a dozen letters
from admiring young volunteers, who
are anxious to distinguish themselves,
but who have not the least idea of what
they are about. I have every reason to
believe that the £1,000 that the govern- *
ment has given will go out by the Con
sul of Zanzibar, who happens, acciden
tally, to be in this country, and who is
going out immediately. He will in
struct D.\ Kirk, the Vice Consul, to
refit the same expedition which was
started before, but which was impeded
by an attack, of cholera. The cholera^
has passed away entirely, the country
is free from Zanzibar, and the only
difficulty now is to get to Ujiji, where
my dear and valued lriernl was and still
is, for he cannot move for w rad or back
ward without carriers, supplies, and se*
forth. It will take two months or
more for those supplies to go from the
seaboard to Ujiji, therefore you must
put aside all anxiety for some months
to come. I hope in seven or eight
mouths hence you will hear good news,
and that very soon after that we shall

Death tF a Famous Bird.—Tb&
French papers announce the death of
Jacko, the famous parrot of the War
Office in Paris. Jacko was brought
into the office in 1830 by Marshal.
Sault, and he remained for forty years
at his post unaffected by revolutions or
party conflicts. After a time he come
to be looked-upon as an indispensable
appendage to the War Department,
anti when there was a Cabinet crisis
the people used to ask who was to get,
not the'War Office portfolio, but the
War office parrot. Though he served
under eighteen diileient ministers, he
always remained consistent to the priti* -
ciples which were instilled into him
when he first entered office. Both un
der the republic and the second empire-
he remained a siaunch Royalist, and
there weic a few members of his party
who spoke their minds with so much
frankness. One day his repeated cries
of “Vivo lo Roi” so annoyed Marshal
St. Arnaud when he was War Minis-'
ter that he ordered the indiscreet bird
to be tur. ed our. Jacko had a friend,
however, in the pouer, who took him
into his lodge and taught him to add
‘Me St. Arnard” to his usual cry. The
bird was then put back into his room,
and as ihe Marshal was passing, scream
ed out; “Vi/e le roi de St. ArnaudL'*
■‘A la bonne heure,” said the Minister,
and Jacko was at once re-taken into
favor. Of late years the clerks tried to
teach him “Vive l’Empereur !” but ha
never could bring out the entire sen—•
tence without tremendous efforts. Ha
got on very well as far as “l’Etnpe—
but at this point he seemed to choke,
his feathers stood on end, and his eyes
rolled with an anxious expression as
if he felt his conscience reproaching
him. At last, after several minutes of
intense struggling he would just jerk-
out the last syllable “—*reur,” iu a
hoarse, sepulchral tone. He died im
mediately after the Duchess of Brirry,
and on the anniversary of the deathofj'
Napoleon V., three’ days before the-
Plebiscitum.

nothing of it.’ ‘Yes,’ replied the Doc
