Carl Mkmmiitqei:.
Chapter I.
I had' noticed the fuco on the
streets. It was a sad, sweet lace.
Dark blue eyes and curly hair,
solt thin lips, und a round faco.
She had noticed me and had caught
iny eye, and she dropped her own
lustros eyes to the ground in fear.
There was something noble in the
glance, and it haunted me for ma
ny days.
It was winter. And notwith
standing the weather, she had on
no shoes, and was scantily clad.
She was perhaps between eleven
and twelve years old, but there
was care written on her face, and
thero was a strong determiueded
will shining in her eyes. After
awhile Inoticed that she came by
my store every morning at an early
hour and returned late in the even
ing. Her face was always the
•amo.
I was a merchant, and this was
in the city of M. I called her into
the store one evening and gave her
pair of shoes. She seemed to be
very thankful, but showed a de
sire not to take them. I furnished
her with some hose, and overcame
her scruples and she went away
delighted.
! [But on the morrow when she came
by me, I noticed that she did not
have on the shoes. I became in
terested more and more, and 1
formed the determination of be
coming better acquainted with
her. lam a pretty good judge of
trees and I knew that she was an
honest girl.
It was not long before an oppor
t • ity offered itself of which I de
. mined to avail myself,
One day the girl came by the
store on her way home in the mid
dle of the day, a very unnsanl
thing for her. I followed on the
other side of street, a short dis
tance off, so that she would not
perceive rne.
1 thought she must live some
where near at hand ; but in this I
was mistaken. She kept on
through the streets, without ever
stopping.
It began to hail and although it
heat into my face with great vio
lence, the little figure before me
never stopped for it. It seemed
that she would have sought the
protection of some of the build
ings on the way. But, no; she
had a purpose and nothing could
stop her.
I noticed that she had a bundle
under her arm, and this she was
trying to keep from the rain and
hail. She did not bestow any at
tention upon her own sufferings.
I was lost in surprise and admira
tion at the nobility of soul that
must have belonged to the little
figure that walked like a nymph
before me.
She passed every street without
flopping anywhere, and passed
on out of the city, through the su
’• trhs, and never stopped until she
came to alittlehut about three quar
ters of a mile from the ontskirt of
the city, and when she came to the
door, she did not knock but open
ed the door and went in.
I did not go to the cabin imme
diately, but lingered. I did not
know what excuse to give lor in
truding ; and not knowing w'bo the
cabin might contain, I wished to
consider. At last I overcame my
ecrupleß, and walking up to the
door, I knocked.
The little girl came to the door,
and though with reluctance she
asked me to come in. I went in and
the sight that met my view was
enough to make the heart ache !

A young tellow once ottered to kiss
a Quakeress, “Friend,” said she,
tlieo must not do it.” “Oil! by Jove!
but I must," said the young man.
“Well, friend, #s thco hast sworn,
tlco may do it; but thee must noi
mako rpractice of it.”
“Jennie, you aro my sweetkeavt,”
said a nine year old suitor, as he
sat alone with bis heart’s idol, the
other evening. “How can Ibe your
sweetheart,” asked the little miss,
“when lam 13 years old, and you
aro only 9?” “Aro you thirteen?”
“Of course I am." “Well,” answer
ed the juvenile beau, after reflecting
:: !b “I'd fee); thirteen, too, if 1
hams'' lrick so much when 1 was
little.”
A Briii-li baronet recently failed,and
his assets me thus •numerated by the
trustees: “A railway rug much worn, a
set onyx studs, a pencil-case, an opera
glass out of order and useless, a pair o
gaiters worn out, a gun-cleaner and
cartridge-extractor, a fishing-rod,a silver
watch, three pairs of woisted stockings'
and a lantern; altogether worth about
twenty dollars.
There was a rector in England who’
after his establishment in a
preached the same sermon to his
congregation Sunday after Sunday
—a very good sermon, but always the
same. At last the f armors sent a depu
tation to request a change. “Very
well,” said the nctor, "but now ht
any one of you tell me all aboiit that
sermon.” Not a peisoncould give an
account. ’Then,” resumed the
clergyman, “I'll continue to preach it
till I‘m sure you all know what it con
tains.”
ITEMS LEFT OVER FROM EAST
WEEK’S ISSUE.
The Supreme Court of Maine has
recently decided that if a person buys
a railroad ticket for passage between
two given points, he has a right to
ride an equal distance anywhere on
the road, and in any direction.
The press is agitated over the
third-term aspirations of General
Grant. It is well understood that he
is laying ail of his plans to the ac
complishment of that end. All the
probabilities are that be will be. the
next Republican candidate.
The papers are vigorously discus
sing the subject of a war with Spain,
for the possession of Cuba. They
have been fighting the Spaniards on
paper at intervals ever since the
murder of Captain Fry.
What cc t on has done for North
east Georgia is pithily stated by the
Gainesville Eagle, as follows :
“Nearly all the formers have fool
ishly invested largely in commercial
manures, and Northeast Georgia is
to day in no better condition than
the cotton belt. They have planted
cotton and neglected their grain
crops, stock and farms, until every
thing is run down. They have but
little money, and nearly all are more
or less in debt.
It is estimated that the sugar crop of
Louisiana this year will be 45,000 hogs
heads greater than for any other season
since the war.
men the lofty palm tree of Zealand
puts forth its flower, the sheath bursts
with a report that shakes the forest,
but thousands of other flowers of equal
value open in the morning and the
weary dewdrops hear no sound. Even
so many souls do blossom in mercy and
the world hears neither whirlwind nor
tempest.— [Spurgeon.
