A little—’(is a little word.
But,much may in it dwell: *
Then let tho’warnbig truth be hoard,
And learn the loesou well.
The way of ruin thus begins;
Down, down, like easy stairs.
If conscience suffers little sins,
Sooti larger oues it hears.
A. littlo theft a small decoit,
Too ofton loads to more;
’Tis hard at first, but tempts the foot
As through an open door.
Just as the broadest rivers run
From small and distant springs.
The groatost critics that men have done
Have grov/n from little things.
The child who early disobeys,
Stands now on slippery ground;
And who shall to 1 in future days,

.Not Quito A Tramp
‘No tramp wanted here, young chap;
■so you may jog along/
The speaker was a fine looking and
apparently an easy going gentleman of
middle ago who was at nding leaning
over the gate, looking out on tho road.
The gate opened on a gravel walk which
led up to a two story cottage house.
In front of the house, and at tho sides,
tho ground was overloaded with trees,
shrubs, and flowering plants, which, to
say the least of it, did not show careful
attendance. Altogether it was a bright,
cheerful and attractive place.
So thought, no doubt, the stranger,
whoso halt near tho gate had provoked
Mr. Horton’s utterance. He was not ar.
ill looking, man, or boy, for he could not
ho twenty-one, but bis clothes were
ragged and dirty, his shoes worn and
muddy, and his general appoaranco un¬
kept and disreputable.
He had stopped in the road and bad
directed at the man, or at tho house, or
at the grounds, sr at; 11 three, a wistful
look, which might intimate a wish to
enter. It was this look which Mr. .Hor¬
ton had answered, when lie addressed
the young follow, aDd advised him to jog
along.
‘I’m no tramp, sir," replied the stran¬
ger. not? Then looks belie
•You are your
your nature. You can’t deny that you
have all the symptoms."
•That is true, sir; I know that I am
poor and ragged, but 1 don’t consider
myself a tramp. I am looking for
work.’
‘That's what they ail say. They are
all looking for work. To say that is to
advertise the fact that you are a
tramp.’
•I suppose I must bo a tramp then,
but I wish I wasn’t.'
•You do? That’s one good symptom,
anyway. Are you sure you won’t run
away from work, if you should And, it,
or lie down and go to sleep by the side

‘I am sure that lam willing to earn

mv living, and
chance at it.’
■What sort of work can you do ?’
asked Mr. Horton. ‘Everything lu gen¬ ;
eral and nothing in parte alar?’
‘I know that l could put that yard of
,
yours in much bettor trim than it shows
,
now. - ’
‘Humph ! That don’t oiler an open¬
ing. The flowers are my wile’s pets,
and she is like a dog in a manger about
them—won’t touch them herself, or suf¬
fer anybody else n> touch them/
‘I can draw your portrait sir,’ sug¬
gested ,
tho boy.
‘You can T Are you a wandering art¬
ist in disguise?'
‘You ask mo what I can do, aud I
know that I can do that.’
‘Any of tho tools of that trade?’
The boy produced from the pocket of
his vest some crayons and the stump ol
a load pencil.
‘All right,' said Mr. Horton, ‘I will
try jou ou that job. Como in/ i
He opened the gate and led tho way j
to the house. On tho varabdah were J |
some chairs, one of which he offered to
the boy.
‘Want, any more tools?’ he asked.

article, Air, liorton clamped brought upon _ a out drawing the required board; j j
also some crayon holders and a sharp
knife.
‘I am a sort of an architect,’ he said,
•and keep these thing on hand. But |
hadn’t you better eat some lunch before I

‘1 am not so hungry, sir, but that I
am willing to cam a meal before I eat
it. Will you have the kindness to sit j
down?’
‘Side face or front?'
‘Side face, if you please, I can do 1
that the best,’
Mr. Horton seated himself, presented
his profile to the ragged artist who went
to work without more ado. His strokes
weie'qmek, vigorous and artistic, aud
in a surprising short time a capital
sketch of Mr. Horton’s head and shoul¬
ders appeared on tho paper. The gen¬
tleman looked at it and puckered his
lips so as to produce a low and long
drawn whistle.
‘I am not ready to pronounce you an
angel, young fellow/ ho said, ‘but 1
may truly say that l have entertained a
pretty fair artist unawares—though the
entertainment is yet to come. Hero,
Emily! Bella! Come out boro and wit¬
ness a new sensation !’
Airs. Horton hurried out on the piaz¬
za, with the young smter Bella, and her
little girl, Lulu. For an answer, Mr.
Horton handed his wife the crayon
sketch, which was hastily scanned with
starts of surprise and ejaculations of
delight.
‘What a nico likeness?’ exclaimed
Mrs, Horton. ‘Where did it come
from?’
■This younf person did it just now,’
answered Mr. Horton.
‘Goodness! Gracious me 1 I woudor
if ho would make one for Lulu.’
‘Of course he would, and of Bella
and the whole tribe, if you want one.
But he is tired and hungry, and you had
better give him something to eat before
you ask any more of him ’
*1 will gladly do that. I am sure
that this kindness of yours is worth a
dozen pictures.’
‘Give him one anyhow, and wo will
talk about the rest. It wont do to bo
too liberal at the start. Please to fol¬
low my wife, young fellow, and I have
no doubt that you will feel better when
she gets through with you.’
When the young stranger was wash¬
ed and combed, and had been fed, his
persoual appearance was improved, and
he had gained in ease and grace of
manner. He was anxious to make a
picture of baby Lulu, aad was permit¬
ted to do so, producing a likeness which
sent the fond mother into ecstacies.
This production having been suffi
eiently admired, Mr. Horton dismissed
the ‘female rabble, - as he choose to call
them, coraled his artistic tramp for a
conversation, asking who he was and all
about himself.
His name was Abol Kentridge, and j
he was the son of a miller at Queens
port, Md-, who had died suddenly, leav- j
ing worth an estate less than so encumbered nothiug. Abel as to be j j
had
gone to Philadelphia to seek bis fortune, ‘
and had found nothing hut disappoints |
meat and poverty. He knew some- j
thing about milling and gardening, hut'
could find no employment in the city, j
and went iuto the country to look for j
work, out his tramp like appearance !
verge told against of despair him, when and ho ho encountered was on the j
Mr. Horton.
‘There is no milling to do bore,’ said I
that gentleman,‘hut I have no doubt J
that my wife, sinco you made that
sketch of Ln’u. will allow von to straigh¬
ten up these grounds. ’If you turn nut
as well as 1 Hur.lt you tell, 1 may find
something else for you to do '
>So it was settled that Abel Iventvidge
wa to remain at .Mr. Horton's. A room
was prepared for him, ami some of hi,
partly worn garments were
fitted to him, and he was sec to work
on shrubs and dower ap*j grass plats
His work was quite satisfactory, and ho
acquitted hitnaelf gene*iliv so as to
gam tho confidence and respect of all
the house. Besides the work on the
grounds other odds and ends of employ¬
ment were found for him about the
place, but nothing was said to him
about his compensation,tj
Thus was ho kept busy for a week,
at tho end of which tiijao Mr. Horton
gave him a written order, and directed
him to go to tho village *md select for
himself suitable clothing to tho amount
named in the order
‘Hut I have cot earned so much as
this,’ no suggested. wj|
‘if you haven’t you earn it,’ ro
plied .Mr. Horton.
When Abel returned ffora the village
he carried his head somewhat higher
than when bo set out, and appeared to
be, vrhat nature and Jfemieatioti had
made him—a young gaptlemau of at
tractive person and manners.
He was ushered into the room in
which the family wore seated, and Mr
Horton coraled him for what ho called
a business talk.
What do you know about milling!’
ho asked.
‘1 was never regularly employed by
my father,’ answered Abo!,- but I pick¬
ed up many points of, the business
while I was about his .place— shori !y
before he died, I invented, or be lived I
had invented, an improvement on the
turbine water wheel, by which greater
speed could be got with the use of loss
water, and my father said it was a
good thing. After agebjjjpfer his death l gave my
model to a patent ijje, pur¬
pose of applying for a patent; but the
agent finally told me: that ho had been
unable to procure a patent, because
the examiners decided there was noth¬
ing new in tho invention. That dis¬
cern ragM me more than any of tho rest
of my disappointments.’
‘Wnat was the agents name ?’
‘Silas Northwick.'
‘And your name is Abol Kentridge?’
‘Yes, sir.’
•That agent lied to you, Abel,’ said
Mr. Horton. He procured the patent,
which is very valuable, aud meant to
swindle you out of it. llo would prob¬
ably have succeeded if you had not
come to my house.’
‘How do you kDowthis?’ oagerly
asked Abel.
‘I am a sort of a speculator and occa¬
sionally dabble in such affairs. North
wick offored the patent for sale to mo
before I porcoived that it was in the
name of Abel Kentridgo. He assured
me he could procure all tho assignments
from the patentee, who desired to sell,
and I told him if ha could do so I would
negotiate with him. Ho is to meet
me to-morrow and bring the assignment
aud of course you eau’t have signed
your name in Philadelphia while you
are at my house.’
‘I should think not,’ indignantly ex¬
claimed Abel
‘Therefore, Northwick s assignment
will bo a forgery, and l shall briug him
hero and confront him with you.’
Mr. Horton was as good as his word,
mot the rascally agent at the time and
plaeo appointed. Northwick did not
have the assignment, although he pro¬
fessed the ability to produce it as soon
as the negotiation should bo concluded,
aud Mr. Horton had brought him to tho
houso for tho purpose of winding up
the transaction. There he was confron¬
ted to his astonishment and dismay, by
Abel Kentridgo, arm it was made evi¬
dent to him that his swindling scheme
was discovered
Tho upshot of the interview was that
Abel get possession of his precious pat¬
ent, and Northwick was glad to go clear
of criminal proceedings. Mr. Horton, if
‘Now, my boy,’ said
you will take me as yourpartuer in this
business, I will furnish tho needed cap
ital to push it, aud 1 have no doubt
that both of us will grind out a grist of
money with your turbine wheel/
Abel gladly accepted this arrange
meut, aud t he result soon became so
satisfactory to both parties that Mr.
Hortou heartily congratulated himself
upon tho fact that his supposed tramp
had mg taken his advice to ‘jog along/
It should bo added that his pretty
Bistor-in law, Bella Grattan, also found
in the same fact cause of sell-congratu
latiou.
