For Sweet Charity’s
Sake.
BX STEPHEN BBENT.
Christmas eve In New York. The busy crowds
surged to and fro. Happy-faced children, warm
ly clad, lingered at shop windows to look at the
Christmas treasures so temptingly displayed
therein. Luxurious carriages with spirited
horses and glittering harness stood waiting be
fore jewelry stores and toy shops, soon to roll
home laden with presents for many a pleasant
surprise on Christmas morning.
All seemed joyous and happy. Sorrow had
almost shrunk away, only the few beggars still
on the streets looked hungrier and more hollow-
eyed than ever.
Bex Danfoith, artist, walked leisurely along
the brilliantly lighted streets. It was dusk and
the lamps were all burning, lending the en
chantment of gaslight to the varied scene.
Mr. Danforth surveyed it all with cool, in
different eyes. It was no new sight to him, for
he had visited some of the fairest cities in the
world; had studied all kinds of human faces,
and now the sight of this eager, joyous life did
not make his pulses throb any quicker than they
were wont to do, and they were very calm as a
general thing.
He was wealthy, an artist from a pure love of
art He whs tall and fair, with a noble .Saxon
face, blonde beard and splendid dark, steel blue
eyes, thirty years old, with every day of his age
stamped on his proud face. ,
He was a man well worth winning as lover or
friend.
Snowflakes began to fall, noiselessly wrapping
the world in a mantle of the softest ermine; soon
the merry jingle of sleigh bells would fill the
crisp air with their music. Mr. Danforth paus
ed for an instant to look at his watch, and a lit
tle trembling voice said:
•Give me a penny, for sweet charity’s sake.’
A small figure stood at his side. Two eager
black eyes were looking into his; a little shiver
ing beggar girl asking for alms. Bex Danforth
was not considered a very charitable man, that
is he Bever sought out particular objects of char
ity, but something in the pitiful, pleading voice
touched his heart, and he said kindly:
•Who are you child ?’
‘Lee Henslee.’
‘Where do you live?’
‘I don’t live anywhere, now. I did live with
my aunt but sbe is dead,’ with a sob.
A great throb of pity stirred Bex Danforth’s
heart and he put out his hand and abruptly
Baid:
•How would you like to come and live with me
and be my little girl ?’
‘May I, really and truly?’
‘Yes, really and truly,’ with a smile.
A look of joy unspeakable overspread the wan
childish face. The pale lips of the child touched
his hand in gratitude.
Mr. Danforth’s household was not very large.
His maiden sister.was housekeeper, friend and
companion. She was older than himself and
had been a most devoted worshipper at his
shrine for many years. In all the world there
was nothing so nearly perfect to Miss Jane Dan
forth as her princely brother. Whatever he did
or said was right with her; so when he brought
the elfish-looking^ little beggar girl with him
and said he had adopted her, she made no ob
jections but received her kindly.
It was fairy land to Lee. The luxurious
rooms, brilliant lights, and glowing fires made
her rub her eyes expecting to wake up and find
it all a dream* In the early light of Christmas
morning Mr. Danforth led her into his studio.
Standing in thiR ,-onm that was so nearly pe'riect
in its appointments, with walls lined with
splendid pictures, works of the greatest artists
the world has ever produced, and with rare stat
uary grouped in the corners and alcoves, the
child’s face grew radient and Bex Danforth was
satisfied with his ward.
Mr. Danforth’s fashionable friends assured
him that Lee would become a great beauty, and
that he was one of the best men that ever lived.
Away from him they shrugged their shoulders
and declared the little thing was hideous, and
wondered what could have possessed fastidious
Bex Danforth to adopt her. Mr. Danforth knew
what his friends thought, but smiled with serene
indifference.
When violets began to bloom, the Danforth
mansion was closed, and its master and his sis
ter sailed for Europe, carrying Lee with them.
nor was she conscious of his presence till a deep
voice said:
‘What are yon thinking of Lee, that you should
look so grave ?’
‘Of the Christmas eve six years ago, when
asked a gentleman for a penny and he gave me
a home.’
‘Unsuitable thoughts for this evening.*
•Why ?’
‘Why haven’t you just sent Balph Hawthorne
away distractedly happy, with the promise of
this little hand ?’ touching the slender white
fingers toying restlessly with the leaves of a book
lying on the table by her side. ‘Yon see I beard
him leave just now, and have come down to
offer my congratulations.’
‘It is quite unnecessary.’
‘Wbat! you havn t refused him ?’
‘Yes.’
‘What are your reasons ? He is rich and hand
some.’
•I didn’t love him.’
‘That is not necessary in this progressive age. ’
‘Do you want me to marry, Mr. Danforth ?’
‘Yes,’ smiling.
‘Lee, come here.’
The words brought her back to where he stood
leaning against the mantle piece. Lifting her
face in his hands Bex said:
Was that the only reason yon rejected Balph ?
I do want yon to marry, Lee, but not him or
any one else, but your guardian. Lee, Lee, my
dear little girl, I thought this evening that I had
lost y(fti forever, but 1 havn’t, my darling, have
i r
‘Oh no.’
He folded tier close, and with her head upon
his breast told her of his love and how near he
had come to losing her, as be thought. At last
he said:
•Do you love me above all the world ? Ite-
member I am very exacting, and must have ail
or none.’
She walked to the window. Her heart was
throbbing, and a red glow burned in her cheeks.
‘You have all, my guardian. Whom else have
I to love but you ?’
He kissed the dear, frank lips and said: '
‘Thank God for my wife.’
Bex Danfoith has never repented his charity.
Six years later, in the dreamy glow of a Sep
tember day, a ship steamed into New York har
bor; A tall man, a young girl, and a midale-
agfed lady stood on the deck, watching for the
first glimpse of familiar land marks.
‘How good it is to be home again,’ said Miss
Jane Danforth, with a smile of satisfaction, as
they entered the carriage waiting for them.
Mr Danforth laughed. ‘My dear sister, I did
not know that you were getting homesick.’
Save the few grave lines in his face, Bex Dan
forth looked the same at thirty-six as at thirty.
The years had brongt him fame and he stood
with the few American artists that could claim
the gift of genius.
There was not an added thread of silver in
Miss Jane’s hair, and the placid face was un
changed.
But see! who would recognize in that tall,
graceful girl, the little waif of lormer years ? A
sweet face with a lovely scarlet mouth, solemn
black eyes, and crown of ebon hair half shad
ing the broad brow. She was not strictly beau-
tilul, but there was a nameless charm in the
earnest lace that won more than a passing glance.
She had never been to school. Mr. Danforth
and his sister were her teachers, and they were
fully repaid for their trouble. No girl could
learn more rapidly than she did, and young as
Bhe was, her mind was well stored with useful
knowledge. She was seventeen.
Old friends were met and hearty hand-clasps
returned, and the Danforths were soon as se
curely settled in their old piace as if they had
never been absent.
Lee was soon drawn into the circle of fash
ionable society. Those who remembered her
former life chose to forget it now, and paid their
court to the ward and heiress of Bex Danforth
with great ardor.
She was soon a bells, with scores of lovers,
all of whom she refused. There was one, how
ever, that wouldn’t take no for an answer, and,
persisted in his attentions.
The months passed rapidly and Christmas
eve came again. Bex Danforth sat facing tbe
possibility of losing Lee for all time.
He had never thought of this before. Never
dreamed of losing her, till on the new Christ
mas eve when Balph Hawthorne came to him,
and asked permission to win Lee for his wife.
The young man was rich and a gentleman, so
there could be no objection to him, and with a
pain in his heart that few can ever feel, he gave
his Consent.
Then for once he laid down brush and colors,
and sat gazing out of the window with eyes full
of stern sadness, and lips closely compressed.
His love was no light thing. It filled his
heart and life. He had never loved any woman
before, and thcnght he would rather Lee was
ddad than the wife of another.
Dusk came on, and Lee Henslee sat in the
dimly lighted library, thinking so deep-
that she did not hear her' guardian's step
Who Says Girls Can’t Cook ?
Henry Algernon Sidney called upon a couple
of young lady friends in Easton a few afternoons
since, and found them in entire possession of
the house. Father and mother had gone to the
farm in the country, and the cook had gone with
another man up the Delaware to look for trail
ing arbutus with which to trim the hop-pole
Those three young people enjoyed themselves
that afternoon to a degree that was positively
alarming—to the neighbors. But alas ! the best
of fun, like many other things, is liable to break
in two in the middle; and right in the midst of I Vinnie Beam’s parte was seated, aad Mrs. Hoxie
YINNIE’S HUSBAND.
Ridiculous Scene That Occurred
in the Senate.
During the debate in the senate to-day, over
the sundry civil bill, a very ridiculous scene
took place. It was towards the end of the bill,
and Allison, of Iowa, rose, sayiDg that he had
an amendment to offer, regarding which he had
consulted with a number of senators, and he
supposed it wonld be generally agreed to. It
was then sent to the clerk's desk and read. It
proved to be an amendment proposing to change
a clause in the bill which recently passed con
gress establishing a new form of government
for the district of Columbia. Tbe bill as passed
provided for three commissioners of the district,
two of whom shall be appointed by the presid
ed from civil life and,one to be an officer of the
engineer corps of the army above the rank of
captain, who should be designated by the presi
dent. Allison’s proposition was to change this
clause so that it would leave the president tree
to choose the third Commissioner from officers
of any rank in the army at large. Tuis was a
scheme to make Lieut. Hoxie, who is at pres
ent detailed as engineer of the district, eligible
for appointment as commissioner. Hoxie has
the reputation of being.a very honest and com
petent officer, and has given satisfaction to all
but the ring contractors, against whom he has
made continuous fight. Hoxie is married to
Vinnie Beam. Her irttffience in political cir
cles, and especially wita the scions of congress,
is renowned. Thus it was to-day that before
Allison arose with his amendment, Lieutenant
Hoxie, accompanied by his wife, and an elderly
lady and several friends, entered the senate pri
vate gallery aud took conspicuous seats. Every
body saw Mrs. Vinnie Beam Hoxie, and she
saw everybody. This was sufficient to tell how
the wind wonld blow on Allison’s amendment.
As soon as it was known-that Vinnie Beam’s new
husband was to be'fienefitted some flint-souled
senators made ungallant points of order that
Allison’s amendment was not germane to the
sundry civil bill. Shouts of ‘yes, it is,’resound
ed upon all sides, and it was then that Vinnie
Beam first silently clapped her hands in ap
plause. The question was put to the senate up
on a point of order as to whetner the amend
ment was relevant or irrelevant, and by a vote
of three to one it was decided to be relevant.
Again Hoxie’s wife gave signs of gratifica
tion. Sargent, who is a practical sort of woman’s
lights man, ventured then to express his views
on the question. He said that the only reason
for this amendment was that recently a very in
teresting young lady had married a very inter
esting young officer, for whom it was desired to
make a place. This speech caused a flutter.
Every eye looked toward the gallery, where

their jollity, Maud suddenly whispered to An
nie:
‘Oh ! w hat in tbe world will we do obout Al
ly’s supper? (You see his name is Algernon,
but they call him ‘Ally’ for sweet.)
‘Never mind, Maudy, dear! we’ll fix that. If
we can't do any better, we can cook some ham
and eggs anyhow.’
Toe result was that Henry.Algernoon was let
into the secret that the cook was away, and the
girls didn’t know > nough about cooking to dis
gust a cannibal, but were going to try for his
sake, and he accompanied them down into the
kitchen. With a herculean effort he sawed off a
couple of slices of ham about as thick as a board
and left the rind on them, telling the girls his
mother always did that to keep them in shape—
the ham not the girls.
Maud, without the slightest hesitation, took
down the teapot, measured out » tea-cupfull of
green tea and another of black tea, which she
put in together; a ffd, as the kettle was boiling
she hall lWled'T^ie pot with witter, ?.wfset it’ on
the back part oithe stove to draw. Annie went
into the cellar, and came back with an air of
confidence, two pounds of butter, a dozen eggs,
and a pitcher of milk. She laid them down and
said inquiringly.
‘Maud, when cook makes ham with cream
gravy, did you ever notice whether she puts in
butter and Hour, or the sugar and milk first ?
‘Oh no, Annie, you mix the flour and milk and
sugar, and then put the butter in the pan.’
‘How much butter?’
‘Oh, 1 don’t know; ’bout half-a-pound, I
guess.’
Annie cut off a chunk of butter about the size
of a colt's hind foot and put it in a pan that
was already hot on the fire; and while it was
melting beautifully she proceeded to mix up the
other things, which in a moment she poured in
liberally and conscientiously. The pan hesita
ted a moment, as though it bad been astonished
at something, and then commenced to foam
away in fine style. While the girls wiped the
perspiration off their faces, Henry Algernon,
sitting on the edge of the kitchen-table said:
‘Now girls, why don’t you flip in your ham?’
‘Oh ! sure enough !’ and each girl grasping a
slice of ham, dropped it gracefully into the
seething pan, the contents of which of course
sloshed over like a Fourth-of-July-orator; and
there went up a smoke iu that kitchen along
side of which the smoke of Sodom and Gomor
rah was like that of a ten-for-a-cenfc cigarette;
and if it had not been that the tea-kettle boiled
over just then, and put out the confl igration.
there might have been trouble.
When Henry Algernon, Maud and Annie ven
tured in from the shelter of the grape-arbor aud
looked upon the wreck, they all mildly sighed.
‘Oh, pshaw!’ observed Annie; T don’t care —
so I don’t! I can’t cook anyhow !'
‘Never mind, Annie,’ replied Maud consol-
ingiy; ‘go down into the cellar and get some
bread, and I’ll cook some eggs. Ally, how do
you like your eggs ?’
‘Well,’ remarked Algernon, with the air of an
epicure who had graduated in a fjur-dollar
boarding-house, ‘I'm not at all particular; but
if I have a preference at all it is for broiled.’
Maud looked at him wildly for a seeftnd; but
she was not going to be put down by any young
man who wore a mole and two hairs on it for a
moustache, and she got down the broiler and
set it over tbe coals to get Warm. Then she
broke six eggs into a dish aud finding the broil
er was so hot she couldn’t lift it, deliberately
trailed the eggs across it. The natural conse
quence was another Sodom and Gomorrah, and
another retreat to the grape-arbor, while the
teapot, having-boiled itself dry in a second at
tempt to come to the rescue, cracked open, let
the damp tea out on the stove, and added a sep
arate and distinct perfume to the scene that
was rather pleasant.
Both girls showed strong symptoms of wash
ing their aprons in their eyes, when Algernon
came gallantly to the rescue, sayiDg:
‘Here, girls, let’s call this a conundrum and
give it up, and go to some place where we can
buy ice cream and cake aDd strawberries with
out the trouble of cooking them.’
And those two girls grabbed the smoking ham
off the fi re, as one man raised up their voioes and
and said:
‘Amec. ’
drew back with confusion, and hid her blush
ing cheeks behind her fan. Sargent continued
his unpleasant speech, and finally, to cap the
climax of the scene, Mrs. Hoxie burst into tears
applied her handkerchief, aud pulled down her
bridal veil. Dan Voorbees saw this, and the
great heart of the Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash was toucher]. He at once flew to his
feet, and with melo jfematic voice exuorted the
senate to pass the amendment. He launched
forth into a fulsome eulogy of Hoxie, his great
merit, etc At this kind-hearted action of oor-
hees, Mrs. Hoxio indulge*. in a few hysterical
symptoms. She firstUaugied, then cried, and
then wined her blackLyesiind trembled. Eve
ry senator saw the anguish of Hoxie’s wile, and
the vote was put. As the roll was called, Mrs.
Hoxie anxiously bit her linger nails and peered
over at each senator. At every yea response she
smiled, aud for the nays she frowned. Finally
the vote was announc^iWilrs. Hoxie had cur-
his hands, and libiug inVj? seat, gave a milita
ry bow to Yoorhees aud Allison, each of whom
recognized it and went out. Subsequently Mrs.
Hoxie received the congratulations of a score of
senators.

At the Paris exposition they exhibit opera
cloaks, shawls and other female toggery made of

beauty of the thing is evident, so is the young
lady within them.
A Sunday-school teacher was telling her schol
ars the other Sunday about a bad boy who stole
a hundred dollars, when she was interrupted by
one of her auditors with the qunj: ‘And how
the dickens did he get such a bally chance !’
We endorse the following which we clip from
the Southern Herald published in New York
city.
A great part of the misery and unhappiness
of individuals and families grows out of mis
takes in planing at the beginning, for the con
struction of character anu fortune m the future.
In this matter, a bad ‘begining is not likely to
make a good ending.’ So it is in the construc
tion of society, and the basis of business and
government. Many communities, and even
nations, have a kind of mushroom growth.
They flourish and grow up on a rotten basis,
nourished by a poisonous atmosphere. And
when their decay comes, as it surely will, the
desolation is great and the ruin dreadful.
We turn the above remarks into practical use
by way of pointing out a lesson to the people
of the South. The Southern States were each
reconstructed once since the war on the mush
room principle—a grand political and social
monopoly. Now belioid the ruin of it! But
the South must go forward, and will be recon
structed again. In what manner and on what
basis is it to bo done ? The old basis of South
ern society is certainly safest. A well regulated
agriculture people are always most seeuie in
their business as well as the stability of their
society. Such a condition fosters individual
strength, and enjoys the absence of monopolies
so common iu a manufacturing and commer
cial community. The Southern people need
and should desire no better foundation on
which to build. No innovations or feverish
schemes are wanted there. Great monopolies
would prove a curse to the country. The peo
ple have the means of success in their own
power. They do not feel their dependence and
should not, ou outside influences. Even emmi-
gration, the tkiDg they need most, is not an
absolute necessity.
The peopie of these Southern States do, how
ever, need and are seeking aid in the way of
more capital, more industries, more good peo
ple. But for that capital to come to them iu
the hands of unprincipled men, or those indus
tries in the shape of great monopolies and
rings, aud the increased population as a bab
bling and mongrel tnrong from ail nations,
will not bless tbe South. Tue South wants a
people to come into tbeir midst as much like
themselves in nationality, religion, habits and
blood as possible. This class is found now
largely iD other States of the Union, especially
North and Erst. The industries they would
carry with them into the South are the ones
most needed there! To ih’ake piows and hoes
and axes, is of far more importance than to
grow grapes and build wine vats. The native
soil of the South knows how to grow grapes,
and it is fortunate that the natives there do not
know how to build wine presses. The grapes
are good enough just as they grow.
We need immigration—more people and
more diversified industries—but we must look
to the kind. The getting of such immigration
as the South needs, should be the work of
statesmen and philanthropists.
A coxcomb, talking of the transmigration of
souls, said: ‘In the time of Moses, I have no
doubt, I was in the gold calf.’ ‘Very likely,’ re
plied a lady, and time has robbed yon of noth
ing bat the gilding.’
