Retribution.
Rs was a pretty little fellow of per
haps 6 years and he looked through the
window of tho restaurant with hungry,
longmg eyes at the big oaken and rows
cl tempting pies; at last flattening his
littis nose against the glass as if to be
nearer the beautiful viands was more
satisfying There was something in his
Mipearanee which was so different from
the ordinary little street boy that 1 first
sttqjpr-d and looked, then address ail
him with ;
"Are you hungry, little boyt"
He then tnru.id quickly, gave a little
n<xf, and said laoomoally :
“Awful!”
“Well, suppoee we go in there and
get something to eat T”
The child's face brightened ; then ho
hesitated and said, dubiously :
"Maybe mamma wouldn't like me
tik”
"Where is your mamma? How came
you here alone f"
"She’* home, sick. Tvs runnod
•way;'' and he looked up in my face
with big, brown eyes in which there wss
a sparkle of mischief.
" Run sway, have yon ? lam afraid
that i* very naughty, won’t your mam
ma be anxious
HGii.sWarick/sbs's awful took I And
I ain’t had Ay thing to eat to-day.”
" Have you any brothera and listen ?"
The little face sobered at once as he
said :
" No, only Eloise, and she's gone
away, and papa's gone away, and ma u
ma says maybe (he's going away, aud
she don’t know what II come of me.”
" Who is Eloise ? Your sister ?*’
"Yes’m.”
"Where has she gone? Won’t she
come back ? "
“ No, she ain't never coming back :
they put her in a little black oox and
took her to heaven, and mamma cried ;
she said she wouldn’t never come back
again, and I haven’t anybody to piny
with now.”
"Eloise 1” The name had struck a
chord in my heart which awakened
paiuful memories, and while the little
fellow wm talking my miud had strayed
book to years ago, and a vision of a
beautiful false fnend rose before my
eyes. Boddenly I asked the child his
name,
" Edwin Alexander Anderson."
For an instant I felt fount and rick,
happy wife and mother though I now
am. That name brought beck to me a
time ot wretchedness never to be forgot
ten, and I almost felt like turning away
and leaving the child—Au child—to hi*
fate. But, thank Heaven ! the impulse
was only for a moment; I knew now
why these brown eyes thrilled ms so;
but with tbe impulse to turn away came
a whisper from my good angel : "Do
good to those who deepi totally use you."
Aud, seeing the little fellow still looked
longingly at tbe cakes, I took him in,
gave him some buns ami a glees of milk,
and a bag of oeokiee to take iiome; but
he could not go alone probably, if, as
be said, he had run away; so I aake<l
him where ho lived, and if bo knew the
way bcosß
“ Wo lives now in No. 10 Pine street,
but I dnnno whore ’tin."
I was no* at all sure of tbe locality
myself, so bailing aa omnibus I re
qnsated to be earned to my destination;
and then tho awkwardness of meeting
his father dashed scrosv me, till I recol
lected be had said "Papa’s gone sway."
"Where has your papa gone?”
“He's gone to the dogs,”
The answer ws* certainly startling,
•nd notwithstanding, or perhaps in con
sequence of my mrvn—•'•, I smiled,
and felt in my throat a mingled incli
nation to fougb and cry. Then I said
seriooaly :
What do you mean f Who told you
that?"
“ Oh, I beard a man tell the doctor so
when he come to see Elotae, ami I found
it in the big u*ap book mamma lot mo
have to 'muse me. ”
" Founu what ?"
“ Isle of Dog* ; that's where he's gone.
I gnere ho ain't coming back.” A little
pause, then in a low, frightened tone,
" he’s swfto cram; ho made mamma ary,
be did.”
I fott guilty ot learning fomil* eeerrts
so I turned sway from that sabjeet and
said :
•• la yo«r mother very ill T*
"Oh. she’s dread'ul sick I She coughs
end w/nghs. and epxis Bp tots al red
spite; tt’e ewtal I"
Poor Etotes, the brilliant beauty, wee
Mtdeed dying I I leaked down sttbeirt
tie boy ta kJ. shebby riuthta. stal I re-
membered tbe slegunoe at his mother's
attire when we were rtria together ; I re
membered, oh, so well I But I was awak
ened from my painful revery by my lit
tle c mpantou's exclaiming :
"Here we are I"
1 paid tbe driver, aud we got out and
mounted three flights of stain in a shab
by lodging-bouea. He opened a door,
and there, lying on a stretohor, with a
ban! mattrees, wm the wreck of the
brilliant beauty I had no* seen for ten
yeaia, and who, but for tbs child, I
should never have reoogniaed. No* eo
with her, however; m the door opened
aud her chil 1 entered she held out her
hand, saying in a low, breathless voice ;
“ Eddy dear, where have you been ? "
Then she raised her eyes, and, seeing ms
standing in tbe doorway, she turned
deathly pale, and, throwing up her
hands, said, wildly: "Oh, God, she
haa ooms, she hM come I Alice, Altos,
form vs ms I lam dying now I "
Forgive her? Yes, with tbe grim
shadow of death hanging over her I
could not do otherwise. I went to th*
bediids and took her hand.
"I am glad to have found you,
Eloise j all is forgiven."
I could rev no more ; the poor, thia
tecs. f< verish svm and shrunken form
made my heart ache. She seised her
eels up, and, clutching mv hand, said:
“ listen, Alice, lam dying I must
speak now; my punish men! is from
Heaven ; he hM left me. You are re
venged, and my little girl hM gone, and
he"—pointing to the boy-" the image
of bis father, will soon be alone, «ul
alone I M v father and mother and sister
are all dead, and his father—l de not
know if he is living or dead, but be
should not have my innooent boy to
ruin. Ob, Alice, you look the same m
ever; will you take care ot my boy ? ”
For an instant I reooilel; 1 take Edwin
Audareon’s child to my house to live
with my children ? It seemed imp.*
•ibis; but those large, wistful eyes were
fixed ou me ; I must answer.
"I will find a home for him, Elotae.”
"You will not take him yourself.
Alice?'' And she rataed hssuelf up, and
excitement tent strength to her voice.
"Allee, I heard of your mamage to a
good man. Hxve you children ?"
“ I have a httie girl 8 years old and a
baby.”
" Then for God's sake take my boy
aud make him good ; let him be your
child, and, when be gets old enough to
underetand, give him Chat deck," point
ing to one on a table at her ride. “ I
have written out my history M a warn
ing to him and all tny papers of any
value are there ; I have nothing left of
mv father’s property ; Ae hM sold it all
and squandered the money. I believe
he went to Europe and is living some
where in Italy with another of his dupes ;
my boy ia portionlaes. Will you, oh,
Alice, will you forgive all and take
him ?"
"I will."
I could say no more and. the excite
m«nt being over, she fell back exhausted.
I summoned essi«tones from one of th*
other rooms, and beg'ged them to go <<“
tbe nearest physician ; bnt it wm t°°
late ; he came tint to say that she wm
going foaU and ere night she died with
her bead ou my ehoulAer.
I had sent a' note to mv husband ex
plaining my sbaenoe. and he w»« there
with a carriage to take homo myself and
our new ohud. He knew all. I bad
told him the corn secret of my heart
before I married him. A* Eloise bad
•aid, he wm a goo-1 man, ami when I
told him her wuh about her boy be
•aid quietly:
“ The child to ours now.”
There was a quiet funeral, and Elotae
Andaraon wm laid beside her tost little
girl.
And this to the story of our two lives.
Years before, Eloise Grayson and J,
Alice Browne, were together at Ms lame
C.’* boarding-*cb<>ol for young ladies.
Her father wm called wealthy, and she
and a sister several years her ssntoi
were all that were left of a large faasily.
Eloise was very beautiful, and, whan al
school she ba«i admirers who would meet
us and bow in our daily walks.
After we left school I made her s visit
of a few days and invited her to come
aud see me in our quiet wtantry home
when she liked. Bba bad however, too
gay a life and too many admirers to ears
to accept my invitatton then. Mean
while I settied down at home and helped
my motbsß eew and learned to keep
house, and atoo learned something etoe
—to love with all my heart a handsome,
dashing young man who had come to
our qutet village to stay lor s tew days,
but had lengthened out those days into
weeks. Edwin Andaraon almost llvvd
at my fotber’s house, and, at toot, with
my father’s full ouuaret, we wore tn-
course in the tallness at my toy I
wrote to all my friends, and Eloise
among the othere. Not long after, she
wrote to say abe wm coming to make ms
that loug-pronuaad vtart. Wall, abe
oame. and at her vary first meeting with
Eiwui she completely monoj.oirt.xi bis
sitentoon ; she earns *to my room that
night and declared herself obarmoil with
tarn-"a ports* Adouie.” Bbo ousted
mo, called ass a sly puao for eatoblug
such s handsome man in that out of tbe
way place ; then kissed a*o good-night
and left mo with a strange chili at my
heart Ido no* know bow it wm, but
abe wm always with us; we never
seemed to be alone, and she angroeaed

what 1 felt, but I locked my door at
night now; I could no* bear to haor
Eloise rhapsodise about my tore, whom
I never saw now except in her society.
She stopped for six weeks six weary
weeks to me. Thea one day. after a
longer ride than usual with Edwin, aha
announced that she must go home a*
once. Her talk and manner were flighty
all day. and until late at night *te heard
bar moving about her room packing her
trank—such elegant efothao as aho had,
putting my qmei mualins and cambriee
in the shade. Next morning she beds
u* good-by and want away, my fattear
remarking after she had gone:
" Well, I don’t want to be inhospitable,
but 1 hope that girl won'* ooare hare

All day I waited and watstesd <te
Edwin. Now, I thought, I will hare
him to myaelf ones store; but he did no*
ooua Ins next day passed, and still
he did M* some. On the thtadday at
weary waiting I too* up the n* repays*
after my father had got through it
and looked carrisssly and abeestiy at
the advertisements, the local items, and
than my eye wandered to Ute marriage
liet. There I saw tbe marriage of Alex
ander Anderson to Elotae Greyeou. I did
not faint nor scream. I only felt numb
for a while, then I quietly handed the
pspM to my Biotiter, pointing to that
place, and m quietly left tbe room and
went uj>-atam to my own chamber. •
where I Mt by the window, looking out
oil the moonlit garden, and tried to uxt
deratand. My mother soon followed
ms. and than paaaed the asoat. aataernhie
hours of my exist, nee; say first tare and
frith and joy all sbattaracL Ot ooarea I
frit m if I bui dis ; but I wm proud ; I
would not ba pitted by the neighbore |
and ao I threw off tbe awful pain when
Iwm with others. Youth is rev buoy
•nt; I had good health, a rood bouse
and good parrots ; sad soon tiro bright,
leasing oourin* were invited to make us
a visit; so in time I crushed this love,
which wm am bow, from my young
heart.
Five year* afterward I mst and learned
to love with a quister, deeper sAscitou,
born ot respect, tny good husband, Hen
ry Halford, an elderly lbwyer, who snare
to sse my father about a lawsuit, and
having ei*me cnee eesne sgatauM4nflli<k

b autiful house in the city a* it* mistrem
and hi* honored wife. We have two
dear little children, and I am very hap
py, and very proud of my " rioarly "
husband.
We call our new eon Alexander Hal
ford, dropping the old name forever:
aud I pray that he may bo m good and
honorable a man re his adopted feltere

Though ws seem grieved at the short

to retire Thu*, although tbe whole Mfe
is allowed by every one to be short, tho
teverri divisions of it appear long and
tiritoua. We are for MSigthemug ow

the part* of which it to composed. The
uaurer would be very well satisfied to
have all the time anslhilatad that Um be
