THE WIDOW'S VICTIMS. Hotv Pretty Young Mcu are Taken in and done lor in Chicago. Thore appears on a certain day, in each of the daily papers, an adver tisement setting forth that a “young widow lady of refinement, education, beauty and wealth, intends to make the tour of the continent, and wishes to engage, as a companion and pro tector, a young gentleman of cultiva tion and refinement, who will receive a liberal salary and have all his ex penses paid.” That brings a crowd of the prettiest young men in town to the office of tho “Employment Bureau” man, who acts as her agent. Each takes him aside and says, quite confi dentially, “My dear fellow, if you get this engagement for me, I will give you”— (twenty-five or fifty dollars, as tlie case may be.) Then the agent says, “My dear 6ir, I don’t think I ought to do it, but still, I like your looks and think the lady will—yes, I am sure she will, and I have influence with her; so just take a note from me, see her, and come back.” It means “come down” after the engage ment is obtained. Each and all see her in turn, in a magnificent brown stone mansion, and they find her very pretty, very smart; and when she seems to take a great fancy to each in Iris order, and engages him as her companion at a splendid salary, each pronounces her an exceedingly charm ing woman, and himself one of the luckiest men alive. She engages them all, and they all return and pay the agent the handsouio fee. The next day the office is closed, the rent lias been about due, and this has been the grand coup of tlie agent’s art to close in a blaze of professional glory, “bilking” even the landlord and the man from whom he hired his furni ture. As for the beautiful young widow, the places which knew her know her no more. She only engaged board for a week in the brown-stone mansion, and left before the week was UP- 4 Ifou«e Nawi'd in Two, The Paris (W.) Times says : Somo of our readers will remember a small frame building which stands near the depot, used at various times'for a sa loon. It stood upon the lands of two citizens of our tow ~ who each claimed a share in the hoi. e One wished to move it, but the otiier refused. Tlie mover, however, mode his arrange ments to move tho house, and had raised it upon rollers, when tho other served tin injunction upon him, forbid ding the removal of the part that stood upon his land. The mover was not to be balk oil, that way, anti ho gave his opponent until 12m. to think about it, avowing his intention to move the small portion which stood upon his land anyhow. Twelve o’clock came w-ith no change in af fairs, except that the mover had meas ured otf eight feet of the faont end of the building as standing on his land, and had his workmen ready, and as the clock struck 12 the carpenters “let into” the house, and commencing on tho roof, deliberately saw r od it in two as it stood, rendering both ends use less to anybody. The building still stands there, a curious specimen of architecture, exemplifying the motto that a “house divided against itself cannot stand.” A Burglar’* Heart Touched. The Pontiac (Mich.) Gazette has ' this item : “A poor young widow in ! Berlin, coning home the other night, found on her table a note addressed to her, reading as follows : • "Madame—l | came here with the intention of rob- i bing you, but the sight of this respect- ! ablo and peaceful attic room, decora- i ted with religious pictures, and adorn ed with pious souvenir* , and above all, i vour two little children, who were qui etly sleeping in their little beds and smiling in their dreams, have touched my heart, and instead of depriving you of the little money I found in the drawer, I take the liberty of leaving here fifty dollars, hoping that you will accept them as a tribute of my res pect and admiration. True the money has been stolen ; but perhaps in the j course of every day’ hie you have ta i ken money from a worse man than your Obedient Servant.” 1 If a young lady has a thousand ’ acres of land, the young men are apt I to conclude that there are sufficient I grounds for attachment. OCUL SATI KD4V NIGHT. No Home. 'This Saturday night the wind howled tin if whistled by, lifting dirt, dn#t, rugs, anil the like from the street to dash thorn in tho faces of those who hurried along. And it was cold, shiv oriug, garment-.Hourchinj), as if in an ger at one who Would-be comfortablo. The heavy omnibuses rumbled by over the frozen pavement. Tho horses seemed all in a shiver—tho driver sat pounding his gloved hand on his knee, his face well* mutth'd, as the ’bus. turned from Broadway into Four teenth street. ' Every one Was hurry ing to reacbjtoine, or somewhere. “lii 1” Too late. We sprang to catch tho horses to a carriage. . The driver turned out to ihoet tho omnibus. A little, little ; ragged gui.ran to cross the street—did. not; notice'the-team —two geutleuiem sprang at tlie. same time with us to save her, but too late. The carriage, with its driver in liv ery hurried on, as if it were not worth while to pick up a ragged little girl ! We helped bear Lor into a store. Her little face and hands were blue with cold. The little calico frock and thin petticoat did nut keep the cold from her body. The ragged shoos kept her feet from the cold pavement, but thore wore no stockings or little panties to keep hor ankle and legs warm. Tlie poor little tiling moaned and shrank away as we placed her on a counter, while the great, agony-filled tears came to warm her freezing cheeks. Ueutiy as man’s hand could were the few hooks to her dress un hooked—the blood from a cut on the left side of the forehead wiped away, and her little feet warmed by our hands. Then we found two or tliree ribs broken by the foot of one of tlie horses, as he struck her down. “What is your name, little one ?” “Sarah Ryan, Sir.” “Where do you live?” “Nowhere, sir.” “Where is your mother?” “She is dead, sir.” “And your father ?” “lie was sent to prison two years ago, sir.” And here the tears fell fast and scalding. “How old are you, Sarah ?” “Ten years old, sir.” “But you five somewhere ?” “1 sleep at Daddy Burke’s collar.” “Who is Daddy Burke ?” “lie is a rag-picker, sir; and lets me sleep in his cellar.” “Ilow do you live ?” “I sweep the crossings when its muddy, anil hold out my hand, sir. To hold out the hand is to silently ask alms. “And, sir, I know- a kind lady who gives me victuals, sometimes, for Dad dy and me.” We took tlie little waif up-town where lives a good woman, and a phy sician fr-iend culled to render assis tance, charging nothing for his time and trouble. Perhaps it was two hours ago we left the little sufferer in a warm room, on a clean Led, her dir ty rags removed, and a clean little night dress on her slim body. And she watTsleeping with a tear in each eye, trying to hold back other tears. " Old Daddy Burke, in his rag-collar will wonder to-night where is the lit tle one who, it seems, begs for him in return for tho shelter lie gives this little girl who onco had a mother, and who is somebody’s little girl for all her poverty. To-morrow she will be hotter. Pretty soon she will be well, and somebody will care for her as you and wo, kind reader, would wish somebody to care for our little ones. Who of tho little girls that read this chapter of facts would change places with poor little Sarah, who has no home —no one to love her ? \Y ho would carry the load this poor little innocent must carry all the years of her life ? “Mother is dead !” “Father in prison !” God pity the little sufferer. No home—no one to keep her good, and pure, and spotless. The world is cold to her, as was the blast this night. Who will keep her from falling even worse than she fell the while siuce ; who will take her —be kind to her pray- for her—care for her, and try to make her frozen life happy? Some one will—we know it —have-asked it. and know someone will care for her as she is cared for now. If thousands who read, nnd who know of the armies of poor little chil dren in great cities who have no homes, would pause and think of their own homes, anil how much bet ter off they are than they might he— how much more comfortable they are than thousands of others, they would be happier, braver, more con- I tented and liberal of heart. Sometimes, when weary from over work, or when troubled, as all are at 1 times, we feel depressed in spirit, tired, and just a little envious of those 1 who fare sumptuously, live in idleness and extravagant luxury’. And we are tempted to close up business, sell what we have, and invest in non-taxable se curities, and live on the interest with out more labor. Sometimes we are very, very tired. The slanders of en emies—the betrayals by so-called friends —the continued strain upon the mind incidental to a severe editorial life like ours, causes us to long for quiet. , Then we throw down the pen and jgo out. Not to the homes of the rich, I for then we should be more unfitted for labor. Bat out and away to the ; cellars, garrets, and over-crowded ten ement houses, where people are so poor! We see them working. We VOL. IV.—-NO. 50- see men, women, children actually starving. We see dirty, raggecq freezing littlo ones suffering. They are innocent of all save poverty. Litr tie orphans, whose mothers arc dead, whose fathers are in prison, or poor, miserable victims of dissipation. Then our heart grows strong, ami wo ure ashaniod to think we "would shirk our share of life’s labor. We see how much better off w-e are than are thousands upon thousands of oth ers, and foel happy, contented, and anxious to live for a and to help the poor who have no homes. Then, w-e think how good and kind our friends are—how much better off than w-e might be—how we are blessed with health, and enough'-to keep want from the door, and how Jittle we do, compared to wliat wq might do, . to make the homeless ones bettor off and happier. ' Then we rest awhile v-libre otir heart is—gather strength for tho w-ork of life, and continue on as we have begun, in hope that some day there may not be in our country so many poor little homeless starving children —so many heart-broken sufferers as there are all over the laud this Satur day night.— ’“Brick” Pombhoy, My KirtliuigkG One vear still nearer home r Fife’s journey soou roust cease, And tliis o’er wearied heart aud braifr> Kejwso at last in peace< Still nearer those dear ones, Whose nilHrjinage now o’er Dwell, sale from every earthly cure/ W ith Christ forevermore.

Yes, the walls are canvass-hung; there are paintings with Rombrand tesquo effects of light and shade, tho gorgeous coloring of Titian, and tho mellow, tender tints of Claude ; some, touched with delicate mezzotint art—* others, quieter by far, that recall stip ple and lino. Dear Facets, that I have known and loved, how ye shine upon me now iu the gloaming! The picture yonder would haunt ait artists’s dying dreams —a pomegran ate face, whose glowing beauty seems to have caught the fervor of a thous and summers, the bloom of a thons und idyllic J tines ; the softened splen dor of tho eyes, the dusky hair, tho cheeks whore crimson shadows dwelt, the perfect, passionate lips, make up a •ortraiture of rare loveliness that will 'ivo in my mind’s vision for all tho years to come. Here a face, clear-cut, and dainty and fine, so full of spiritual strength that it realizes that wonderful Do Staff's description of herself, “a soul lire in a body of gossamer.” Another picture : the light gleams white and cold, but not whiter and colder than the face it falls upon. In tellect is enthroned there ; but tlie ex quisite face is never tender —a stony pride has frozen the faultless features into a statute’s beauty. And now there looms up before me, a gigantic face, grand, massive and awful; with eyes whose lurid depths the plummet of my thought could never fathom ; a face dark and splen did with a Lucifer-like beauty, but with a Tantalus expression, inscruta ble, baffling all conjecture. Here, companion pictures, that wear ing the immortelles of an immortal friendship—my beautiful ideals ? How can I dissect laces so altogether love ly ? That is Lavater’s specialty —I leave it to him. The light grows dim and weird, the pictures vanish and leaYe me lonely at a forsaken shrine. The altar lights out, ami the picture above the altar has its face turned to the wall. Hero where tint shadow’s are deepest crouch es the skeleton of a dead friendship. Little friend, the coffin lid could not have hid you from me more drearily. Leagues of land, “the groat w’ater” and Lethe’s sadder sea lie between us twain; but the ghost of that old, bright time bursts its cerements of coldness, haunts memory’s strange corridors, keeps a niche in the hearts inner temple, lives in my very squl. And though tlie friendly friend has grown most unfriendly, the dear faith faithless, the phantom of that lost love wears ‘the beauty of the faces seen in dreams.’— Mary Howies. “If you beat me, I’ll call out the soldiers,” as the drum said. You can always find a sheet of wa ter on the bed of the ocean. When Patrick first tried peaches he said he liked the flavor, but the seeds lay heavy on his stomach. Why are young ladies at the break ing up of a party, like arrows ? Be cause they can’t go off without the beaux, and are in a quiver till they get them.
