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 Picture Gallery.
In memory’s dear old ‘gallerie/
with the golden twilight of otiier
days falling upon the pictures, there
—I lingor.
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

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

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.
