As she begged for alms of the passers by: “Have pity on me, have pity 1 pray, My back is bent and ray head is gray.” The bells were ringing the hour of prayer, And many good people were gathering there, But, covered with furs and mantles warm, They hurried past through the wintry storm. Some were hoping their souls to save, And some were thinking of death aad the grave. And alas! they had no time to heed, The poor soul asking for charity’s meed. And some were blooming with beauty’s grace, But, closely muffled in veils of lace, They saw not the sorrow nor heard the moan, Of her who sat on the cold door stone. At last came one of a noble name, By the city counted the wealthiest dame, And the pearls that o'er her neck were strung, She proudly there to the beggar flung. Then followed a maiden, young and fair, Adorned witli clusters ot golden hair; But her dress was thin, and scanty, and worn, Not even the beggar’s seemed more forlorn. With a tearful look, and pitying sigh, She whispered soft, “no jewels have I, But I give you my prayer, good friend,” said she, “And surely I know God listens to me.” On her poor weak hand, so shrunken and small, The blind woman felt a tear drop fall. Then kissed it, and said to the weeping girl. ‘lt is you that have given the purest pearl.’ Do Newspapers Pay ?—News papers are tlie strongest of fiuan eial enterprises, when well man aged and liberally conducted. — Mr. J ames Grant, in bis new book on tlie “Newspaper Press of Lon don,” expresses tlie belief that tlie profits of the London Times are $•2,300,000 per annum.

J Breckinridge is dead Lawrenceville, Ga., Wednesday, January 10, 1872. Married on Crutches. BY JOSEPHINE POLLARD. It was Miram Noble’s birthday. Great preparations were being made for an evening- entertain ment that should surpass anything of the kind within the circle of her acquaintances ; for Miram was an only daughter, and the child of indulgent parents. Mrs. Noble was in a flutter of excitement, as good bouse keepers are apt to be on such occasions, and being naturally hospitable, was "troubled about many tilings” that entertainers with more mon ey, and less heart, know very lit tle about. As for Miram, for months she had been anticipating her birth day party, arranging the list of invitations, and enjoying, in imag ination, the sweet converse with congenial souls, and the unmista kably ‘‘good time” she was so cer tain would come to honor her birthday. She had even gone so far as to select her own partners for round and square dances, and smiled at the frequency of Philip Warner’s name upon the list. Blanche Warner was Miram’s intimate friend and companion, and she had been so accustomed to bearing Philip’s praise spoken by his sister, that it was only nat ural she should echo the prevail ing song—Philip was good, an excellent fellow to have around, but when it came to marriage— why even Miram might hesitate. lie was too brotherly and kind to awaken any tender passion; and too —well, no, not exactly plain! but then, he could not hold a candle to Wardsworth King, who, at the time of Miram’s day dream, was virtually “Monarch of all he surveyed.” Philip was one you might choose, but with Wardsworth you must wait to be chosen ; and that is the reason there were so many blanks in her dancing list. Blanche in name, was not so fair in face, so b!io was to appear in rose color, with jet ornaments, while Miriam was to shine as “Undine,” with waves of delicate green falling away from her queen ly form, and pcails of glossy whiteness, peeping through her blonde tresses. But when the birthday dawned, Miram’s blissful anticipations were all put to lliglit. She was so lame from an attack of rheumatism, in duced by exposure, and want of prudence, that she could scarcely put her foot to the ground without shrieking with paiu. What should she do ? party could not be post poned, any better than the ham. turkey, and salads, that were awaiting demolition, so she sti lled the cry of agony, and by per-, sisteut bantering won a tempora-' ry truce from the advancing for ces. But tho dancing! She would have to forego that pleasure,and to Miriam a party without any dan .cing was no party at all. V Blanche ran in to mingle her tAars of sympathy and comtnissei atSon, and with that wonderful self al juegation so prominent in warm ly attached friends, offered to ,/nake a martyr of herself for Miri am’s sake. “No, indeed 1” said Miriam— “ You must accept every invita tion, and not let any thought of me spoil your pleasure. Chie cun be rheumatic without being dog matic, and I'll go through all the figures mentally, if my feet are held in a horrible vice. “Philip will feel s<> sorry,” said Blanche, “he enjoys dancing with you so much." “Well, Philip must console him self elsewhere, and not be 'a wait ing Tor a partner’” replied Miriam, singing the fntnilliar air of “oats, peas, beans.” The eventful evening came at last, and Miriam set like ft queen to receive her guests. She had more color than usual, and there WSA tin -unwonted brilliancy to her eyes, so that her friends mixed compliments with condolences, un til the poor child was ready satia ted. But when the music struck up there was a grand rush for part ners, and Miriam could physic pain as much as she chose; aud it did really seem as if the twinges were moro severe when she was alone in lier glory than when she was the centre of an animated group. She tried to look cheuful and “COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SHADOWS BEFORE!” happy, but not being blessed with j a cast-iron countenance, the marks , of pain would gather in the cor-1 ners of her month and between j her eyes, requiring all her fortitude to smoothe away the traces of their I presence before the dance was i over. “Miriam!” said a voice at her j elbow, while she was busy with her thoughts. “Philip I Why are you not dan cing ?” “My partner is engaged,” said Philip, with mock modesty. “Then choose another” “I can’t. ‘Misery loves compa ny,’ and I’ve been dreadfully un happy sitting over there alone, or standing in 4he hall, an uninteres ted, or rather uninteresting spec tator.” “You might help make my birth day party the event of the season. I depended on you, Phillip.” “Did you, Miriam ? I’m glad of that. 1 rather thought you de pended on ” “Well ?” “I thought Wadsworth King was the biggest card in your pack. Don’t annihilate me!” “That shows what a jack you are!” “Because I belong to knave'y ?” “Come, stop your nonsense. — ; There’s a gallop and a galaxry J from which to choose a partner !” “If 1 ax her she won't go, on the light fantastic toe I” “Whv not ? Phillip, you arc too bad.” “Why, you ought to know.— She’s gone through all the elogics, and is now two feet deep in the isms—rheumatisms, 1 mean.” “Phillip Warner, do you mean to say you decline dancing ou my account ?” “-Most assuredly, Miriam —dar- ling;” and his voice dropped to a tone that startled Miriam, aud | gave her cheek a momentary pal lor. Was it so ? Had Phillip fixed his heart upon her, while she had never once thought of him as a lover? and was she quite ready to say him nay ? He could never stand in the same relation to her | as he did before lie made this sud den avowal of his love, and she was glad when the evening was over and she could think in sol- I tude. Wadsworth King had been de voted to Blanche, and bad merely been civilly polite to poor Miriam, so the color of that dream was changed, and there wasn’t any foundation at all for even an air castle to bo built upon. Miriam’s lameness increased rapidly, and it was but a few weeks after tho birthday party that she appeared on crutches. Phillip was her regular escort. Did she walk in the direction of Broadway, she was sure to meet him there quite unexpectedly. Did she *nd Blanche take the cars, and then a saunter through Central Park, there was Phillip, ready to act as guide and interpreter And it became Biich.a inattar of course, that Miriam finally decided that her life would be a blank without Phillip. Yet, how could she ask him to accept her as his wile ? how could pile tell him that these hours of pain had made her know liis worth, and appreciate him fat above any other suitor for her hand ? Did he love her well enough to make tlie sacrifice : Fur lu>w could she tell but what she was a crip ple for life ? She put the question to him one evening whets he seemed moro se rious than usual. “Would you marry a wife. Phil lip, who went on crutches ?” “I would marry you, Miriam,” he said, holding her face between his hands, and sending an honest glance into the depth of her own honest eyes, “1 would marry you, Miriam, if yon never walked an other step i” and then he laid up on her lips tho «caJ at' his affec tion. So they were married ; and it was a strange sight, indeed, to see a bride on crutches; but Miriam was far moro happy than she was at her birthday party, for now she had a good, strong arm, and a stout, honest heart to lean upon. Miriam knew the efficacy of prayer, the capacity of hope, and so ahe hoped aud prayed that her lameness might d«oart, even set ting the limit of her reprobation. ‘ Let me cast away my crutches at tlie end of two years !” was the burden of her petition. On the first anniversary of Phil ; lip’s wedding, Blanche was unit I ed to Wadsworth King,and Miriam laid aside one crutch in honor of the occasion. Blanche insisted on having it exhibited as one of her bridal presents, and much sport was occasioned by its unique ap pearance. Two years passed, and brought again the season when Phillip and Miriam were wedded, and Mr. and Mrs. Noble declared their inten tion of opening their house to their friends. Miriam had a little surprise which she mentioned to no one, not even to Phillip. It was that which lent such a glow to her cheek, such a light to her eye, that her husband declared bo was more in love with her than ever. The guests were assembled, the music breathing delicious melodics through the house, when Miriam entered the parlor, arm-in-arm with Phillip, tlie observed of all observers. The musicians struck up the “Lancers.” “Will you dance, Mrs. Warner?” asked a young gentlemen so ex clusively polite, as to bo very maladroit. “Certainly,” said Miriam, before ho bad a chance to apologize. "Phil ip, take my crutch, if you please;” and to Phillip's utter as tonishment, she resigned this em blem of her weakness into his hands, and immediately took part, in tlie quadrille. * Nobody thought of keeping time with the music, or confining attention to the order of dancing. Congratulations were in every touch of the hand . that met Miri am’s own, and even Mr. and Mrs. Noble joined in the “grand chain - ’' It was a regular jubilee—on eman cipation festival and Phillip promenaded around too - luorr, making as much fuss over tlie crutch .as if it had been an unex pected legacy, ns it was, undoubt edly. Blanche is now the hnppv moth er of a young King, and Miriam spends the most of her time with her sister in lover, as well ns in law, so active and happy, that it would bo difficult to imagine she was- die same Miriam who was was married on crutches. —AT. V. Weekly. Killed in Court—Gon.R. IMvvls of Mississippi, Shot Dead. An unpleasant state of freljng has existed between Gen. Reuben Davis and S, M.

It is generally rep- i resented that Davis ha t what is i forcibly called “ft violent way” about Ivin; whereas Meek was j upon ordinary occasions among j the mildest of men, a modest, un obtrusive gentleman, lie was in sulted by Davis at tliat time, and felt mueli aggrieved. After that they never spoke to each other. On Friday last they again met on opposite sides of a case in tlie j i Court House of Columbus, Missis-1 | sippi, when Davis, as usual, in-j dulged in violent and offensive I language, and so irritated meek l that lie could beat it uo longer. He said : “Davis, I can’t stand your brow beating . any longer.) Defend yourself.” Meek jerked , out his pistol, and Davis proceed- ! to draw his weapon, but was too slow, and was shot before he had i his weapon ready for use.
