LITTLE TIM THE BOOT-
BLACK.
Old Aunt Jane sat beside ;hqr ap
ple-stand al! day thinking, -of po6r
sick Barney At borne, aiid dross in
the next roohi, would not forget to
to him a little. At dusk she
see
hastened homo to don her best, hap
py if sho'lmd money enough for the
“sup of tay,” the liniment, (he
medicine and the bit to lay over for
“the RS$&>
Aunt Juno was kind to everybody,
but kindest of all to littlo Tim .Bur
ron—Lame Tim, the bootblack, who
had his box in the doorway not far
off. Her interest in him began on
the day-When a big ruffian stole his
stock-in-trade, broke his crutch, aud
beat him .with tfie pieoes uud left
him bleeding in the alley-way. Aunt
Jane hiuLher hands full with Burhiiy
aud the rent, but she helped the lit
tie orphan home toiler room, nursed
him well, and set him up iu his
business again close to her stand,
where many a rose apple fell to his
share, and what the boy was more
thankful for still, many a ’ltind word,
shell as mother might have given to
her child. It was Aunt Jane, too,
who interviewed old Mr. Raleigh,
the philanthropist, and a trustee of
a certain -great charity, and Tim
taken Intd the gieut Western School,
where boys rwere trained at once for
scholars and farmers.
Soi/fim went away, and Jane kept
her stand as before, and had the
usual up and down luck, until one
bitter winter everything seemed to
turn fairly against her.
Poor old Barney died, mid his fun
oral was a great expense. “The
bits of tilings” were sold, and Jane
went to board with littfe Aiinie’s
mother,‘but her heart was heavy
And she made mistakes, and was
robbed and cheated of apples- and
crullers. And at last, one Saturday
night, when she hud what she called
the‘‘Weck’fc makings” in her poek
et, a-strange young man, well-dress
iNJj but ght a dozen oranges, and
gave liar a two-dollar and a half gold
piece to change. She gave litm overy
cent in her pocket, besides the or
anges, and discovered an hour after
that.the money was counterfeit. It
was a rainy night, and, overheated
by oxoitemont, she cuught a heavy
cold and fell into pneumonia. Annie's
mother was a close woman and poor
besides. She could not 1 afford to
keep a hoarder who could not pay
for the last week's board, aud was
to bo ill the coming one. She seut
Jane to the hospital.
That was the cud of the poor
soul's independence—the one thing
she had prided herself on. She had
not a friend who could help her; and
so, ufter such a struggle with star
vation as people seldom come out of
olive, she wai considered lucky in
being tent to the poor house. All
this was slow in coming about, and
it was just ten years from the day
on winch she had .brought Little
Lame Tim his new blacking- box,,
that, bowed with shame, she took
her place amongst paupers—she who
had been so industrious and so
proud.
Hot tears fell over the wrinkled
face. She was very miserable. Many
about her who had begging souls,
and only repined because poorhousb
fare was hard, could not.comprubend
hei* trouble; but one pious, old wo
man,, trying to help ber, whispered,
‘•that Suuduy wus always a comfort
that there was preaching and hymns,
and the parson told them those who
were poor went to Heaven as fust as
the rich. Sunday : come, you’ll cheer
up a bit,” said she.
But old Jane could not forget
how, popi; us alio had been, she had
always gone to church on Sunday
with a clean dress aud tidy hat, and
lmd never failed to put five cents into
tho contribution plate.
“1 doi^it there’s a dale of comfort
in i)au{>or preaching,” she said.
But Sunday came. Old Jane’s
“first pauper Sunday,” as she said
to lierseif. There was some oxtru
dish for broakfust. The chappoli
bell claugod and jangled under tlio
uncertain touch of ail old pauper,
and the old people, the cripples, the
half-wlttod folk made their way, iu
doleful prooossion, along the dusty
path of the bare grounds to the door
of the pluoo of worship. They
stumbled into their seats, some of
the old women , notiping that the
matron had a now bonnet; others
moving mechanically, and heeding
nothing. But soon a whisper dime
dawn the bench where Jane sat:
“It’s not our owu minister. No,
it’s a new preaolior—a young thing—
just a bit a bit of a boy.” And dis
satisfaction was expressed ns a pale,
slender young man, with a sweet
face, and just a little limp in his
guit, steppod upon the platform and
walked toward tho reading-desk, and
said: “Let us pray.”
Tiie prayer was brief and earnest,
and the tones of his voice mollified
all the old womeu at once; and then
the hymn was sung oy all the poor,
cracked, wavering voices; and then
tho man began to talk to them in a
tender, kindly sort way, as lie might
to his own old grand-parents if they
had beeu iff sorrow.
“Young folks is mostly so sot up.
He isn’t,” Said Jane’s neighbor.
“I’veseen the face bofore,” thought
Juno. “ Where was it? I’ve heard
the voice, and I still don’t kiiow
where.”
He was speaking of the trials of
the poor now. And us she listened
she felt that lie knew by experience
whut they realty wore.
She listened, a .id forgot her sur
roundings; forgot that she was a
pauper. Remember onlv that heav
en wus for all, and God’b love for all,
and that Jesus was tho Savior of the
beggar as of the king. And suddenly
she heard the preacher cay these
words:
“Oil, I know how hard it is. 1
know. I know. Do you think 1
was born u rich man’s sou? No,
friends; I wus left in the great uud
wicked city a poor little orphan. 1
was veiy lame then, and walked with
a crutch, and I was not ublo to
read.
“One day, n great boy beat and
robbed uie of my stock in trade, i
was very ill aftei that, and i do not
know what would have become of
me but for a dour old woman—an old
woman who ournt her bread by sitting
at a stand all day. cilie became my
patron, she nulled me, she started
me afresh in m y boot blue king, she
helped me home, she cured for . me
us if I hud been her child. Through
her influence, a rich gentleman was
brought to notice me, und send me
to school. That I have prospered,
and I am no longer so sud a cripple,
that I Have an education, is all due,
in thebogiuniug under God, to that
poor apple woman. I pray for her
every night. 1 think of her us those
who have known their mothers think
of them; anil I know now, better
than 1 did us a child, how much all
that she did was for iicr to do,
with her -tiny earnings and a bed
ridden husband to care for.
'Ah, friends, ‘ when I speak of
the trials of the poor, I speak
from experience; when I speak of
the goodness aiid clmrrty there is
amongst them, it is necause I have
experienced thut also.”
As ho spoke on, the. Ordei of
Poverty seemed to becouic a crown
and. not d cross.
His Tstencrs looked more kindly
at each Other, lovingly at hi ill. As
for old Jane, she trembled from head
to foot, for she knew this minister
was be who hud cuce been Little
Lame Tim, the bootblack. ’
As the procession filed out of the
chapel again, she made her courtesy
to tho matron.
“May I speak to the gentleman
that preached to ns, ma’am?” she
said. “Ho kuowed me oneo.”
And permission being given, sho
lingered near the door until he
passed, through it, and gently touch
mg his arm, said:
“Sir,” you wouldn’t be remember
ing mo after all theso years, but
I’m—”
But here tho young pveaoher in
terrupted hor...
You’re Aunt June!” ho said, and
took both her hands and kissed hor
on tho forohead. “Aunt Juno!
Thank Heaven, 1 have found you!”
It was poor old June’s last puu-
er day. In a happy oountry homo
she npw presides over a liitlo parson
age, honsokoepoer to tho clergyman,
tenderly oared toV us though alio wore
of his own kin.
“I wonder you’re not uslmmed of
mo,” she says somotimos, “a poor,
unlurnt old womau.”
But tho clergy man answers:

A lady will wulk past u dozen vacant

take one of the seats just passed,

she leaves, never exactly decided at
home or abroad.
The old traveler wullts directly to
the bcBt scat in tho car that is vacant
i. e., the ono nearest the center and
on tho Bhudy side—not because it
rides caster, but it is safer in ouso of
accident. Tho old traveler never
passes u vacant scat if the car ds Aliy

journal:
In the year of 1712, Mr. Whiston,

tober ut five minutes aftor five in
the morning, gavo notice to tbe pub

persons in about London seiboa at
the barges and bouts they could lay
thoir hands on in the Tliames, very
rationally concluding thut when the
conflagration took place there would

gentleman who hud ncgloetod his
family worship for five years
informed his wife that it wus his do,

practice the same evening; but his
wife, having engaged a ball at her
house, persuaded her husbuud to
