I bHievethe boy came tosteal. Why
else did he creep into the kitchen win
dow without knocking ?
Pet was sitting there in one of her
thoughtful moods. I could see through
the side window, though the luxuriant
grape-vine hid me completely from
view. At first sight the boy startled
me. He wag uncouth—lie was ugly.
Not only jhat, bqt big brow was low;
find to me his eye w<is vicious. S »me
children would have screamed at the
s'giit 11 Mich an apparition—Pet did
not. Instead, a siiiiie bn-uc cvep her
face like a butst ol sunshine.
Nothing human repulsed her I haw
shuddered to sec her clasp a filthy little
creature round the neck. Everybody
was ‘nice’ with her; And in her vocab
ulary ‘nice’ meant good.
But to go back tc> t.ie rough intrud
er.
It stgrtled him to see her smile, but
in an instant the boj’ looked ashamed.
A flush spread to the purplish ; \vel!-
tngs under his eyes.
‘Is ’oo hungry ?’ cripd Pet, in a clear,
small, bird-like voice.
A moment after, she emerged from
her corner with a lovely rose apple,
that filled both her wee hands, andTun
ning toward him, her ej’eg shining—I
thought I never had seen so beautiful
an expression in a human face.
‘Take ’us and ’ool be nice—’oct is nice;
aint ’oo ?'
The boy looked down at the small
b’e.'Sing ; his lips w orked a little. Sure
am I nosetmon would have reached his
poor heart as did that little act. He
seemed to hesitate.
‘Take it,’ said I, cheerfully; ‘Pet
would rather you wogld eat it, I know.
What did you wish when you came?
Can I do anything for you ?’ comiDg in
as I spol;e.
The tears stood in his eyes now.
‘I don’t know as I want anything,
ma’am, I—well—I—I—don’t Know as
I need anything!’
‘Have you a home ?’ I asked.
‘A—a—home—that’s vvliat I never
had.’
‘Dive hint somefin more, mamma,’
said Pet, pitifully, grieving for the tears.
H • looked at her with an a'tnosi wer
slnpful glance.
‘I have two or three cords of wood
that want splitting and piling, down the
cellar,’ saiq I.
‘I’ll do it,’ he cried, brightening.
1 looked at him keenly.
‘C m f trust you ?’ I asked ; but I
tried to say it with a stnile.
‘Yes, yog may, ma ’am; indeed jou
may,' he said; and then, with a swik
motion, jerked his sleeve across his
eyes. lie to.d me that be was called
Bertie, and 1 imparted his name to Pot.
Go every little while she would pat-a-
pat to the head of the cellar s.tgirs, and
cry out, ‘Bertie, is ’op, nice?’ then
throwing back her little head, and
buisiittg in such silvery peals of laugh
ter; and I laughed sofdy to myself
every time I heard her.
Beriie came next day to finish h : s,
job, and his gray eyes grew positively
beautiful at the sight ol j J et.
‘O, I love her. ma’am,’ he exclaimed,
O, I’d give anything if I might kiss
her, ma’am.’
‘Pei, Bertie wants to kiss,’ I said.
‘Is ’oo nice?’ laughed Pet, suspend
ing her busy little operations.
‘J{o—no—I aint nice,’ he said, re
morsefully.
Ghe seemed to deliberate a moment,
then she said slowly.
‘Well, ’oo must be nice;’ came up to
him and put up her lips.
lie kissed tier—made that swift,
av/kward motion with his sleeve Again,
and hurried to his work.
Mj r kusbaud became interested in
the boy.
‘Depend upon it, Hetty,’ said he, ‘he’s
a neglected genius, or he never would
have shown such sensibility. I'll see
about him.’
He did see about him to some pur
pose. He gave him occupation ; found
him reliable and steady work. The war
broke out—Bertie eulisted-was, wound
ed, and came near dying iu the hos
pital. From that sick bed he returned
home, refined, spiritualized. Ah, me !
be came home to weep over Pet’s still,
waxen featutes.
‘U, my little salvation!’ he pried,
with tears of agony ; hinder God—my
little salvation!’
Pet, in her home above, must re
joice tf she sees Bertie—now an earnest
student in Christ; for this sketch is
not all fancy. Bertie will be a shining
light, a brand s^.ved from the burning,
to minister to the heirs of glory.
As for Pet, do you think 1 ever
wished her back? Never.
My vyaiting angel—my seraph guide
to the courts of heaven! My own lit
tle child thajj never gave the heart that
loved her t^sjDgle pang!' ‘Of such is
the kingdom,’and # with such my blessed
darling is safe forevermore.— West
Virginia Christian Advocate.
A bigh—life young lady of Pittsburg
went to a drug store and asked for lauda
num for a sick child that could not
sleep. She got it. and left, and the
druggist, suspecting that something was
wrong, sent a stomach pump after. The
pump arrived at her residence just af
ter she had swallowed the laudanum
and was immediately set to work. She
was successfully bailed out of the jaws
of death, and sent on her way rejoicing.
It was a little love affair. The exam
ple of that druggist is worthy of im
itation. It would be well if they all
would send a pump qr an antidote after
their poisons. : ' * ‘
The Old Minister’s Blessmg.
There was a lime in Eoglaud when
people were sent to jail for holding re
ligious meetings and worshipping God
according to their own consciences;
and that, you know, was the reason
our forelathers came oyer to these wes
tern shores. They wanted to be where
they could worship God in their own
way. A wicked rich man had a spite
against a dear old minister of the gos
pel, Mr. Rogers. The wicked rich
mau was a justice of the peace, and he
thought he’would gratify ’his spite by
send.ng the old minister to jail. Sir
Richard Richard—that was the rich
mau’s name—heard that Mr. Rogers
was to preach in a barn one night, and
ue sci.i two spits to find out who his
hearers were,' and then appear as wi —
nesses against them.
The spies did as they were told, and
broought him tL names ot the peopje
who were at the little meeting. Gir
Richard immediatley ordered them all
before him. They knew he was’a vio
lent man, and they came expecting the
worst. While waiting in the great
hall, Sir Richard’s grandchild, a little
irirl ran in. She looked at the kind
bid minister, and the kind old minis
ter looked at her. Then she went up
to him, and he took her on his knees
and talked with her, for he loved the
‘little ones’ dearly.
Pretty soon a servant came in, say
ing, as one of the witnesses was s:ok.
they mi°ht go home and leturn anoth
er day. ° They did so, and Sir Richard
made out a writ to send them all to
jail.
When they came back, the miuismr
hoped he should see the little girl
agfiin, and he brought her something
in his pocket; nor was he disappoint
ed, for in she ran, and threw herself
into his arms.
‘What for yo.u here, sir?’ She ask
ed, looking wistfully into his face.
T believe your grandfather is going
to send tpe and my li icnds here to jail,,
he said.
‘To jail!’ cried the little girl. ‘Why,
what have you done?’
‘Nothing,’ said the minister, ‘but
preached; and my friends here did
nothing but listen to me.’
„ ‘1 hen my grandpa sha’n’t send you
to jail,’cried she. Giiding out of bis
arms, she ran to her grandfather’s room,
and knocked with both her feet and
head on the door. Of course he iet
her in.
‘What you going to do with my
good old gent'.Ginan here in the hall,
grandpa ?’ she asked.
‘That is nothing to 3’ou, child,’an
swered grandpa; ‘you go about your
play.’
‘No, I sha’n’t, grandpa,’ said she.
‘He says you are going to send him and
his friendsto jail. If you do, grandpa,
1 11 drown myself in the pond as sop,n
as they are gone* 1 will indeed.’
The child was a great favorite witjj
Si? Richard, who had nearly spoiled
her, Ghe was wilful and very resolute,
and as he allowed nobody in the house
to contradict or oppose her, he was now
afraid to do so himself; therefore his
wicked designs were Quite shaken, nor
would she leave him until he promis
ed to let the poor prisoners go free.
Pretty soon he stepped into the hall
with the writ in his hand, and said to
Mr. Rogers and his little flock, T have
here made out your mittimus to send
you all to jail, as you deserve: but at
my grandchild’s request, I withdraw
from the proseeutionj and set yo.u all
at liberty.’’
They all bowed and thanked his
honor - The good minister stepped up
to the child, and 'aid his hand upon
her head. Lifting up his eyes to heav
en, he said, ‘God bless you, my dear
child. May the blessing of that God
whose cause you now did plead, though
as yet you know him not, be upon you
in life, at death, and through all eter
nity.’ Then he and his friends went
away-
Tlie minister never saw the Ijttle
girl afterwards. But did God’s bless
i,ng follow her? She grew up to be a
rich and gay young lady. Her graud-
father died aud left her his great pro
perty. She did what she pleased, and
weut when she pleased; and lived in
fashionable pleasure.
And was she happy? No, no, she
was not happy, for the blessing of God
asked by the good minister was follow
ing her. But would not that make her
happy ? Ob, no, not in the way she
lived, because fr!;e was living without
God.
One day she sent for a doctor. He
came.
‘Doctor,’ she said, ‘I don’t ail much
in my body, but I have an uneasy
mind I can’t get rid of.’
‘I had,’said the doctor*‘until I met
with a little book that cured me.’
‘Book !’ cried the gay lady, ‘I read
all the books I can lay my bands on
—all the new plays and novels ; but
for all that I feel no better.’
The doctor then said he would bring
her his book if she would promise to
read it. She promised ; and th’e next
time be came he put a little volume
in her hands. It was the New Testa
ment.
She did not like it at first. ,But,’ she
said, ‘as I never read it before, and
have promised, I will give it a reading.’
Ah, the blessing asked by the good
minister was on her as she read; and
she saw what her soul needed—a Sav
iour, a precious Saviour—a Saviour’s
forgiveness and love. She found it all;
and she- became famous in her day for
the love she bore to Christ and His
dear people. Her bouse in London
was open to all who loved her Lord,

4n Aftoniahed Old Lady.
An old lady whose home is in the
cquDtry, and hadn't bppj) ip pincinnridi
for seyeral years, parpe in yesterday to
do some trading, her principal bpsin,q$j
being one of the few eventful incidents
qf he? life, the purchase of a new bon
net. She hadn’t had a new bonnet
sir.pe she was ip Cincinnati the last tune,
and that was seyep years ago; nor naa
she seen apy of thp npvy-fangled con
trivances— -tfifies light ps air,—which
the wqmen wear now-a-days iu place
of bonnets. As a new bonnet was the
engrossing theme in her mind on en
tering the city, of pourse she was qu
the alert atqnpetqsee what the fashion
was. Jmagine her ponstprpatiop, then
in standing on Fourth street wafehipg
the people passing by. For a time ste
was perfectly speechless, and then slip
was observed to throw up her hands
and exclaim:
‘For the land’s sake ! are the women
all crazy, gaddin’ through the streets
with nothin’ on theit blessed heads?
What’s become of all their bonnets ?’
She went into a millinery store and
accqsted a ‘gentlemanly and obligipgd
young lady in attendance:
‘You see I came in the hull waf
from Clarmont county to buy a bonnet.
I’ve worn this one goin’ on eight yeajy
It’s a little out of fashioo, I reckon, and
I want one that is right in style. I
didn’t know what the women was
wearin', so I stood out here a blessed
hour to see’em pass, and I hope neve?
to see my old qian agin if saw ope ^o-r
man with a.bonnet on durin’ the hull'
time. Some had a dqll’s handkercief
laid on the top of the head, others had
what looked to,? all the world, like
oyster pptties trimpped with blow’d
glass, and I declared to goodness if a
woman with a, big rutaburga turnip 1
on the b.apk of jjer head, in fly net }
wore any coverin’ ‘ ceptin’ a yellow
circus ticket tied on with a ribbon !’
When informed that the styles she
had seen were the latest thing in the
bonnet line, the old lady’s astonish
ment increased, and she was thorough
ly bewildered by tbe time she had ex
amined each variety embraced in
milliner’s collection, particqlafly wheq
she learned the accompanying pricea.
She declared that it was enough to set
any one crazy to s. e such vanities as
women are running to now-a-days— 1
‘Twanl so when I was a gal,’ said she.
‘women wore bonnets in them days
kivered their heads, and tied’erp qncie?
the qhip insttd of fasfn ’qrp to the
hack hair.’ She left ip great disgust*
and said abe would go back to Clar
mont and wear her old bpnnet till mil
liners got to makipg bonnets again.—

Handshaking;
How did the people first £et into tbo
habit of shaking hands? The answer,
says All the Year Round, is not far to
seek. In early and barbarous times*
when every savage or semisavage vvqs
his own lavy-giyer, dudge, soldier, and
policemen, and had to watch over hi9 r
own safety in default of all other pro
tection two friends or acquaintances; or
two strangers, desiring io be friends
or acquaintances, when they chancpA
to meet, offered each to the o,tber the,'
right haod-nr-the band that wielded the
sword* the dagger, the club, the toma
hawk or other weapons of war. Each
did this to show that the hand was emp
ty, and that neither war nor treachery
was intended. A mau cannot well
stab another while he is in the act o(
shaking hands with him, unless he bq
a double dyed traitor and villain, and
strives to aim a, cowardly blow with thq
left^ while giving the right and preten
ding to, be on good terms with the vic-
tem. The custom of hand-shaking
prevails, more or ies, among all civil
ized nations, and is the tacit avowal of
friendship and good-will, just as tjhq.
kiss is of a warmer passion.
Ladies, as every one must have rer.
marked, sqldoija or never shake hands
with tbe cordiality of gentlemen; un
less it be with each other. The reason
is obvious. It is for them to receive,
homage, not to give it. They capnot
be expected to snow to persons of tbq
other sex a warmth qf greeting, which
might be misinterpreted; unlesg 6uch
persons are very closely related to
them by family or affeqtion; in which
cases, hand-sliakiDg is not needed, and
tbe lips do more agreeable duty.
Every man shakes hands accordingto
his nature, whether it be timid or ag
gressive, proud or bumble, courteous-
c r churlish, vulgar or refined, sincere
or hypocritical, enthusiastic or iudiff-
ernt. The nicest refinements and idio
syncrasies of character may often be
discoverable in this fashion.
‘Having frequently seen good things
in the Drawer from little folks, I give
you tbe following as a specimen brick
from our Western home:
‘Willie, who is just entering upon -- •
his fourth winter, had very attentively
watched one of bis aunts dressing, fpt
an evening party; and as it was sum
mer time, and fashionable, the dregs!
did not come as far up on thq neck ii* : '
Willie’s ideas of proprieety suggested.
He went to her ward robe, and in q,
moment came back pulling a clpse fit-,
ling basque after him, w hen the follow
ing conversation ensued: •’
‘Aunt. ‘.What is that for?’- L ~
Wfilliel ‘Eor you to pat on.!
;‘Aunt. *|£ut I' am dressed npw'. Iy
look pretty, don’t IV ' J
• ‘Willie. ‘Yes,’ giving a modest
glance at her shoulders; ‘but somebody
might see you.’ •
