Lying upon such a bed as only the
starring poor ever know of—in tmeh
a bleak, gloomy and ghostly room as
the poorest of God’s children inhabit,
a girl of ten looked ont through the
cracked and dusty panes at the great
white moon rising up from its bed so
far towards eternity, that man has
never discovered its Ideation.
Was site ten oi thirty t one could
hardly have told in the dusky room,
lighted only by the rays of the moon
—by Heaven’s own lamp. The fin*,
gers were so thin aud long that yon
would have shuddered. The face
was so wan and pale, that your
thoughts would have gone back to
some dark evening when yon tn
blingly skirted a grave-yard t
caught sight of a head-stone stand
out alone in the gloom of night. A9d
such eyes ! Great round eyes, which
glistened and sparkled as eyes never
do till Heaven’s gate has opened j u»l
enough to let the living catch a
glimpse DC such joys as man cannot
even dream of unless the angel of
death whispers in Ids ear.
Like a great s'-ip suddenly rising
out pf the fogs of the ocean came the
moon. 'It brushed away the dust
njjjddOobwcbs and crept through the
window, every beam and ray and
silvery streak seeming to be bu--
nislied the brighter in the si niggle. A I
haggard and desparing mother wKs
on the street; begging 1 for* bred.
The five iu ilM<ator»tww Numbered.
If a cricket nested in the old house,
it was in sn i'o warmer corner—in
sum** <•!' tin- gloomy rooms where it
now and then caught the laugh oF-a
child or a cheery cry from the street.
It was very still.
“ It is col«l in here,” whispered the
i moon as its beams danced over
! the ragged old quilt which covered
! the g : rl.
We have not had a warm five
for days and days—we are very
poor!’’ replied the child, as she put
ont her hand to catch, and detain one
of the shivering rays.
“ There is nothing iu the old cup»
board—nothing but a few old
dishes!’’ whispered the moon as it
ro«e a little higher and looked in at
auotiier pane.
“ Mother was sick yesterday and
could not go out,’’ explained the
child “ I have been ill for weeks
and weeks, and we have come to be
very poor ”
No fire—no food—no medicine
no light—no furniture but an old
chair or two and a table—it is terri
ble!” whispered the moon. “ I have
only been up an hour, and yet I can
see into hundreds of rooms in this
great town—see warm rooms, tables
spread with good things—fires burn
ing cheerfully and people smiling and
happy. Who comes to see you?”
“ No one !” sighed the child “ It
is weeks since I saw any face but
mother's.’’
A cloud crept between tl.e old
as they call it. I dcn’i exactly know
what ill Is, tat its something to buy
Bibles fer people who cannot read,
while j’©« n4 scarce of other intelli
gent sad^God-knowing and ‘ God

“Noipf!’’ slowly answered the

“ Anti you are cold T
“ Wc&sve only this old quilt.”

on and on, and after a time all the

music!” she answered, lifting het
head to catch the strains.
“ Is it sweet music ?”
“ It is blessed—it- is grand !’’ sbe
gasped.
“ And now tell me wlmt you see?”
whispered the moon.
“ Gates—gates of gold—a light
grander than all the sunshine in the
world—people—no, angels—it must
be heaven!’’
“It is!” solemnly answered the
moon.
In the darkness a baud pushed
open the door—feet echoed in the
bare room, and a haggard, pale-
faced woman bent over the bod and
said:
“ Awake my child—I have some
bread for us! Were you afraid in
the darkness?’’
The moon had gone. It was only
when the mother’s hand touched the
icy cheek that she sank down and
gasped :
“ God forgive me for my r poverty,
and God bless those whose table-
crumbs would have saved my child
to ine!”
The window was dark. She did
not know that the moon had looked
in there, whispered soft words to tin
dying child, and that the gates o
Heaven were opened for the pure,
sweet soul. She saw only the gloom
and tiie darkness, and she cried out

[Frpm American Mail <fc Export Journal.]
Some very curious and intereating
statistics have bssn furnished me by
R- tayd, s well known contributor to
the Economist, on the subject at mer
cantile and other firms engaged in
business in the city of London. It
appear* that in the beginning of the
present year there existed in the dty
no fewer than 11,440 firms engaged
in wholesale business, exclusive of
stock exchange, publishing, retail and
small industrial trades, etc. The
wholesale businesses indude banking,
financial, insurance and other firms.
Incredible as the statement may seem,
the date of establishment of one of the
existing firms goes back to a period
before 1600. The original principals
of this firm were contemporaries ol
Shakspeare and Bacon, and it is
strange indeed that though England
has witnessed two revolutions since
the foundation^ this firm, its sta
bility anil continuance have not been
effeced. The firm in question is thas
of Marti*. •*’ Co., established in the
year 16*V», „r upwards of 3’20 years
ago. Two other firms—those ot
Messrs. Child & Co. and Messrs. Gos
lings & Sharpe—were established be
fore 1650. The Bank of England
commenced business' in 1094, having
been preceded by some years by Messrs.
Hoares, Thomson, I htnkey & Co,
Coutts & Co., Burnetts, Hoares & Co.
and the Huds'u’siJay Company. Of
merchants, Messrs Baring Bros. «fc
Co. wus founded in 1708,.and of wine
merchants the firm of Hedges & But
ler was established in 1007. The
firms of warehousemen appear to be
of* somewhat Inter date,' none being
as yet. quite a century old. There are
many classes of firms which do net-
and respecting which, he is una
ble to furnish statistics. In tin* pub
lishing world, for instance, Messrs.
Longmans have done business contin
uously since 1720, while Mr. Bent
ley’s ancestors published works upward
of 200 years ago. The 11 years from
1806 to 1877 proved rerv disastrous
to newly established firms in the city.
In the former year about 600 new
firms established themselves, of which
in 1877 only 317 remained.

I medicine in the world was ever given

Some miles west of the city lives *
a worthy old former named Hoffman,
whose daughter, Sarah, plighted her
troth with » gallant yeong gentlemaa
of Indianapolis, David Clemens Sal

bread acres of her fother, and Mr.
Hoffman objected to a marriage pop-

David, because ef her youth (i

nearly two hundred, in height nearly
six feet, and is possessed of unusually
mature judgment Tito old wan
guarded his treasure closely, but there
was a secret communication between
the lover and tba beloved, by which
the elopement was arranged.
The night chosen was n stormy one,
but Clemens and his fiend, Mr. F. C
Shofer, engaged a swift foam and
drove to the meeting place, and there
awaited her coming. Sbe had the
requisite nerve, and,. at the hour
named, jumped from, her chamber
window and struck .out in the .dark
ness for the carriage. The wind
slammed the shutter of her window
with a terrible bang that a,woke , the
inmates, and, the father gave rapid
pursuit. The girl outwimled him ip
the race, sprang into the carriage, and
w'.th loose reiu and vigorous whip the
lover and beloved and, Mr. $h »(cr

galloped toward the <jity. The girl,
has several uncles, . hard handed,
strong-fisted, stalwart follows, wH
backed the father in hi* opposition to
David, and these men joined in the
pursuit, together with their retainers
and neighbors, all of them members of
a cavalry company organized for pro
tection against horse thieves. In
squads of twos and threes the pursuers
rode to every railway station within a
radius of twenty miles, leaving Mr-
Hoffman and others to follow to this
city, warn the police, and telegraph for ,
the arrest of the fugitives.
It is seldom that a double rig j
plunges more madly over a dark,
muddy road than did the one- bearing
David and Sallie, and within a trice
after reaching his father’s residence,
on Northwest street, they were indis
solubly bouud together for life by tiie
Rev. Dr. Ketcham, of the California
Street Church. Quick as was the ride
and the marriage ceremony, there was
no time to waste, for, within a few
moments after they were made hus
band and wife, and while the company
were sitting down to a substantial
supper, in bounced six feet five of the
irate father (normal weight 225), re

the bride replied : “ I guess not,” and
seeing things hud taken a turn, the
old man stooped to parley, and then
went oft* for reinforcements. Rein
forcements came in the shape of her
brawny uncles, blit she had made up
her mind to remain with David, and
there she stuck with true feminine
devotion. Then lie threatened to dis-
temperuture—rain, wind and sunshine
