THE GOLDEN COIN.
Or, the Little Street Hegjrar.
BY GEORGE CANNING BILL.
It was the morning of anew year that hat.
just set in. bright, golden and beautiful. Tin
snow glittered like jeweled raiment i:t tht
cloudless sun. The chiming ol’ the silvery
sounds of the bells struck joyfully upon the
listener, in every street. The air was cold
though not piercing; bracing, though not bi
ting—just cold enough, in truth, to infuse
life and elasticity into every one that moved.
There was a little girl—a child of poverty
on that beautiful New Year’s morning, walk
ing the streets with the gay crowds that swept
past her. Her little foot grown so numb, en
cased only in thin shoes, and those so badly
worn, that site could but with difficulty move
one foot before the other. Her checks shook at
every step she took, and Iter lips looked truly
purple. Alas! poor Elsie Gray! She was
a little beggar !
Just like the old year was the new-born to
her. Just like the last year’s wants, and lasi
year’s sufferings, were the wants and suffer
ings of this ! The change of the year brought
no cl a ige in her condition within if. She was
poor ; her mother was a widow and an invalid,
and the child was a poor beggar!
In the old and cheerless room gleamed no
bright fires of anniversary. No evergreens
no wreaths, no flowers, stive a lew old with
ered ones, decked its time-stained walls. There
was no sound ol merry voices within the door,
to say to the Widow Gray: “A happy New
Year to you, Mrs. Gray.”
Heaven seemed to have walled her and
her family in Irom the happiness that almost
every other person enjoyed on New Year’s
day. Her rooms hail no joyous appearance,
no congratulations. Were they outcasts? —
Had they outraged iheir claims on the wide
world’s charities? Had they voluntarily shut
themselves out trom the sun light of the liv
ing creatures around them? No! a shame
take the world that it must be so answered
for them !
Little Elsie stopped at times and breathed
her hot breath upon her blue and benumbed
fingers, and stamped her tiny feet in their
casements with all the force left in them ;and
then big tears stood trembling in her large
blue eyes for a moment, and rolled slowly
down her purple cheeks as if they would freeze
to them. Site had left her mother in bed.
sick, exhausted and famishing ! What won
der that she cried, even though those hot tears
dropped on the icy pavement. They might
as well fall there as elsewhere ; the many hu
man hearts that passed Iter were as icy and
hardened.
She would have turned back to go home,
but she thought aoain ol her poor mother and
went on. though where to go she knew not. —
Site was to become a street beggar. Where
would street beggars go ? What streets are
laid out and numbered lor them? Surely,
if not home, then where should flu-y go? It
was this thought that brought those chrystal
tears —that started those deep and irrepressi
ble sobs that choked her infant utterance.
A young hoy —a bright-looking little fellow
—chanced to pass her, and she walked, and
wept, and stooped. He caught the glitter ol
those tears in the sunshine, find the sight
smote his angel heart. He knew not what
want and suffering were. He had never
known them himself—never once heard of
them—knew not even what a real beggar
was. He stooj p and suddenly before Elsie, and
asktd her tite cause of those tears. She could
make no reply —her heart was too full.
• H;ts anybody hurt you ?” asked the feeling
little fellow.
She shook her head negatively.
•’Have you lost your way ?” he persisted.
‘ No,” unsvvered the child quite audibly.
“What is the matter, then ? ’ lie asked.
“Mother is poor find sick, and I am cold
and hungry. We have nothing to eat. Our
room is quite co!d and there is no wood for us.
Oh ! you do not know all. you cannot know
all.”
“But I will,” replied the manly boy; “where
do you live ?”
Will you go with me ?” asked Elsie, Iter
face brightening.
“Yes, let me go with you.” said he ; “show
me the way.”
Through street, lane, and alley she guided
him. They reached the door of the hovel.—
The cold breaths of the wind whistled in at
the cracks and crevices, and key-hole before
them, us it inviting them in. They entered.
A sick woman feebly raised her head from
the pillow, and gave her a sweet smile. —
• E sie. have you come ?” she faintly said.
“Yes. mother.” answered the child, “and 1
have brought this hoy with me. 1 do not
know who lie is. but. he said he wanted to
come and see where we lived. Did Ido ’
wrong to bring him. mother ?”
•No. my child ” said ihe mother; “If he
knows how lo pity yon lroin his little heart;
but he cannot pity me yet —he is not old
enough.”
The bright faced, sunny-heart boy gazed
in astonishment upon the mother and child. —
The scene was new to liini. He wondered it
this was what they called poverty. litseyes
looked sad upon the wasting mother, but they
glittered with wonder when turned towards
Elsie. Suddenly they filled with tears. The
want, the w oe. the barrenness, the desolation,
were a I too mu dt lor him. He shuddered at
the cold uncovered floor. He gazed rnourn
;uily into the empty lire-place. His eyes
wandered wondtringly over the naked walls,
looking so uninviting and cheerless. Putting
i i? band into Ins pocket, he grasped the coin
that his mother had that very morning given
him and drew it forth.
“You may have that,” said he, holding it
out to the child.
“Oh. you are too good ! You are too gen
erous. 1 lear!” broke in the mother, as it she
ought not. to take it Irom him.
•’Mother will give nte another if I want,”
said he ; “it will do you a great deal of good,
and I know I dont need it. l ake .t take it!
you shall lake it!” and he was instantiy gone.
It was a gold com of the value of five dol
lars !
Mother and child wept together. Then
t tey t II eJ of the good hoy whose heart had
o tentd lor them on this New Year’s day.—
Then they let their fancies run and grow
Wild, and revel as they chose. They looked
at the glistening piece. There was bread anti
luel. and clothing, and every othercomlort in
itt dep h-. They continued to gaze on it.—
Now they saw within its rirn, piciures of de
light and joy; visions of long rooms, all
wreathed and decorated with evergreens and
VoI.XXIX. No. 49.
flowers; visorie of smiling faces and happy
children; sights of merry sleigh-rides, and
the glistening of bright runners over the
smooth-worn snow.
They listened; they heard the mingled
sound of merry voices, and the chiming mu
sic bells, the accents of innocent tongues, and
the laugh of gladsome hearts. Ah ! what a
philosopher’s stone was that coin! How it
turned everything first into gold, and then in
to happiness! How it. grouped around them
kind and cheerful friends, and filled their ears
with kind voices! How it garlarded ail hours
ot that day with evergreens and full-blown
roses! How it spreads them a laden table,
and crowded it with merry guests! and those
guests too. all satisfied and happy! Oh! what
bright rays shone torih from that trifling coin
ot gold! Could it have been as bright in the
child’s or the man’s dark pocket? No; else it
had before then burned its very w?y through
and lent its radiance to others. Could it have
shown with such visions in the rich man’s
hand? No; else his avarice would have van
ished at once, and his heart have overflowed
with generosity! No. no; it was only to such
a6 the widow and her child, that it wore such a
shine, and emitted such brilliant rays, and re
vealed such sweet and welcome visions! On
ly lor such as they!
That night returned this angel boy to the
bleak room, then filled with happiness and
lighted with joy; but he was not alone; his
own mother was with him. Blessed boy! He
I passed the whole of New Year’s day in mak-
I ing others happy. And how much happier
was he himself! How his little heart warmed
and glowed lo see the child uncover the bas
ket he had brought with him, and take out,
one by one, the gilts that were stowed there!
And how overjoyed was he to see his mother
oiler the sick woman work and anew home,
and to see the sick woman grow suddenly
strong and almost well, under the influence of
their kind offers! He wondered if their hap
piness could possibly be as deep as his own. if
their New Year’s was as bright lo them as
his was to him. He knew not how any one
could be happier than he was at that mo
ment.
Years have rolled away into the silent past.
That little girl—Elsie Gray—is a lady. Not
a lady only in name, but one in every deed, in
heart, in conduct. She dwells in a sweet su
burban cottage, and her husband is devoted
only to her. The husband is no other than
the generous boy who, on the New Year’s fes
tival. accosted her tenderly in the street and
went home with her. Her poor mother sleeps
quietly in the little church-yard ; yet she lived
to know that God had provided lor her child.
She died resigned and happy.
Are there coins, either gold or silver, that
must be locked a way from sight ? Are there
any containing within their depths such sweet
visions, such happy sights, that they must lie
under lock and key, lest happiness and com
fort may become universal 1
Here is one one —where comes another ?
A Lady’s visit to a Printing Office.
‘So you sit there there all day and cut
pieces from the newspapers; I should like
that, it is so much like patch-work.”
“Yes, madam, we exrissorize, though we
are obliged to weave considerable cloth our
selves. Suppose you occupy our chair, and
give the public your ideas of editing a pa
‘Me ! goodness ! I wouldn’t sit down here
and write where everybody is writing alone
for the world; wiiting makes a person so cross.
Besides your table is all ink. it would soil my
new dress; why don’t you have a nice mahog
ony table, and nice white curtains at the
windows? What makes you hang up these
dusty old papers in the room? If I was
obliged to stay here, the floor should be wash
ed. and a carpet laid down; it must be dread
tul to live in such a manner ”
“O, those are fiies; we eouldn’t dispense
with them very well; and for a carpet we
fear it would frighten away our customers.”
“Dear me. the gentlemen are so careless
about everything nice that I don’t think they
are comfortable unless their rooms are lit
tered up. Did you write all these sheets to
day?”
Certainly, nd we are not through yet.”
‘•Why it takes me a whole day to compose
and copy a letter. 1 hope you don’t 6crawl
and blot so when you write to the ladies'”
‘‘We never had that pleasure, madam.”
“No —you don’t write for them either, or
yon would not print such stuff as you do.”
‘ Don't put anything more in the paper
about Oregon or Congress, will \ou?—it is so
dull. But what tire these men doing in the
toher room, with their sleeves rolled up, and
making motions as though they were going to
fight somebody ?”
“Those are our compositors setting type. —
You see they have a stick in one hand, and
‘hey place the types in with the other.”
‘ 1 don’t see any slicks unless you call the
little pieces of iron so; what names you have,
I always thought a stick was to walk with.”
“Well, ours makes the words walk; those
little boxes that we call casts, contain the
letters, and the printers put together into
words and sentences by the aid of that little
piece of iron you speak of.”
• Well. I declare! doctors and lawyers I
knew had cases, but I never knew that prin
ters had before.”
“Certainly, madam; they sometimes are
foul eases and hard cases, too , but what can
be expected of those who lead the lile of dev
ils ?
“Why.do they? I’m sorry to hear it. Du
tell me what that man is filling that trough
with water for.”
•He’s going to wet paper, you know.”
‘O. yes. I thought you sprinkled your pa
pers and ironed them, to make them look so
smooth. I suppose this great gallows looking
machine is your mangle ?”
‘•That’s the press, madam ; and this handle
here is the Archimedian lever which moves
the world! Just notice its power—you per
ceive its bioken lever—”
‘ V\ by in the world don’t \ou have it men
ded Tae in< n are are always so slack, but
vvliat are these things that resemble pic
ture frames ?”
“Those are what we term galleys.”
“You have galleys, hey? I didn’t know
that printers were so much like Romans be
fore !”
“Look, yonder! What is that toy doing?”
‘ O. lie is distributing a handful of pi !”
“I shouldn’t thi.ik a handful of pie would
be much amongst so many.”
• What are you goingtodo with those slips
of printed paper.”
• These are proofs, and we are obliged to
read them ; won’t you sit down and heljT us?”
“No indeed ! 1 can’t bear to read any kind
ol proof, unless sometimes in trial for breach
of promise. 1 don’t believe the ladies would
make very good printers.”
•■ Pardon us madam, but we think they
