Clara King laid down her Bible on the stand, and looked out of the window. It WM the lit of November, and a dull, cold rain filled the streets with mud; a few Irish women were on their way to early mass and here and there a brown sparrow hopped abuui looking for his food; otherwise there wore brick walls. The outlook was not pleasant. Clara wa a teacher in one of the city schools, working hard week d .ya, so hard that occupation kej. t her frm thinking that her father and mother ana sister all lay in Falmouth graveyard, and what other relatives she had less near and dear were scattered far and wile. Bat this was Sundav; aud as she finished her morning read ing and looked out of the window, while she waited for thy bell to ring for breakfast, he could not help a dreadful sense of loneliness settling down on her heart. It is true there was a Bible full of comfort before her, but she was tired, lonely, chilly, and the day y.as all gloom. She remembered it was November, the mouth of Thanksgiving and before her rose like a vision lue coxy warm micucii at her old home, her mother making pies at the cross-legged table; father tiling the brick oven always heated for that festival use with long wood shavings; Matty dressing up the sitting-room with bitter-sweet and ground pine, while she herself pared apples, strained squash or stirred the cranberry sauce on the stove, and without the sea sparkled and roared close by, and the low cedars on the Point rustled and writhed In tfia Voati win rl. Thun she h:td found the old red house small and inconvenient, and longed to get away to see more people and live a le3s quiet and monotonous life; now she would have given anything she could give to be back there with those three again. She would have no Thanksgiving this year; she must stay in her cheap boarding-house, spend the long day in her chilly room or the dark, squalid parlor below, and have no ray of light from the past or luture to be thankful lor. Nevertheless, Clara was and meant to b a Christian woman. The flesh is weak many a time when the spirit is willing, and she had not learned the last, greatest lesson of the Christian life that we live by dUy bread alone; that even Ileavenly manna did not provide for the morrow's food, only for to-day. She had been reading the first four Psalms, and out of them but one clause of a verse remained with her: u Who shall show us any good?" She heard this over and over with curious persisteicy; thinking of what her life would probably be along stretch of hard, lonely work, a homeless old age, a death among strangers. Bitter tears rolled down her pale lace as she entertained this spectral trouble, and pitied herself so earnestly for that which as yet was not here. There are thousands like her, poor child, thousands who borrow trouble, millions besides who have it without borrowing 1 but of these last she did not think. Strangely enough the minister who preached that day in the church she habitually attended took for his text the very line that haunted her. He acknowledged that this was a common ouery among the un happy of this world, but went on to say; . v . i 11 f! 1 3 I "II we can not reany una any goou i which U a proposition I do not mean to dispute, since a person in tne siaie oi mina which asks that question is unable and un . . - . . i. i i willing, both, to see goodness, even if it were found for them let us look for evil. There is enough of that lving about us in everv rath: we are not any of us 'all alone unhappy thou-h we are apt to think so. If there is a soul in this assembly which has ever as tea mis question in onierness oi spirit, then, oh, dear soul! let me beseech vou to begin this very day and see what evil you can find beside your own, to keep it company. Go and measure your sorrows by your neighbors; put plummet and line to nest door or next room miseries, and find out where in the scale of human wretchedness you stand. It is a real comfort to the mind of man to define and establish its position. If vou are once aware of evil, you can do some thing toward its mitigation, and your own bitter experience will help you to sympa thize with others, it may be to help them; though that is scarce to be expected from one who disbelieves in good. This is a good day to begin; it is almost time for the feast of Thanksgiving, and you who are not thankful, since the day gives you no occupa tion, ought at least to discover others who are also unthanklul and tell them how much less their sorrows aro than yours. If you A i i a are Christians, or inmK vou are, go ana preach to them these bad tidings of tribulalions, and see what audiences you will have, Since you do not accept the Gospel foryour selves, except in name, go and see how others live without it. les; go nil your soul with husks, and then come back, it you can not come! till then, to your Father's house, and sit down and .make merry in honor of your repentance." Clara heard no further; this strange outlook from her own standpoint so shamed and confronted her that the went home astonished at herself, yet in a state of des nondence still, for she did not know what to do, where to find another discouraged human being. She was a direct, simpleminded creature, in the best 6ense of "sin? pie." and so the sermon came home to her for herself, not for her neighbors. She looked about her at the tea table that evening with a new insight; was it possible that she could find unhappiness right under her eves? It might be so, she thought, as she looked at Miss Allen, an elderly woman, who had a room on the fourth story, just above her own. and went out dressmaking. Clara had never spoken to her before, but to-night she haoDened to sit next her, and ob served that her face was sad as well as erave. "It has been a disagreeable day, Miss Al lenfp she said, by way of making conversa tion. It has been a dreadful day!" returned the poor woman, with a sigh. "Li.d you go Clara. out to Church?" asked M0, no! this weather gives me the rheumatism so I can scarcely come down to my meals." Here was an opening. One word led to another, and Clara found that the poor wo- I maa wu to diiablfd by pain that her werk.1

was delayed or suspended, her daily bread precarious, and besides being poor she was also friendless and no longer young. Here, indeed she found evil, but finding it forgot her own miseries in consoling another's. It was not much to bring Miss Allen into her room, where her one Sunday evening luxury, a small fire, filled an open grate, and where an easy rocker rested the half-crippled limbs of the suffering woman. She rested here for an hour or two, told the young girl her sad story of loss, and pitied Clara's loneliness, and then crept up to her own bed cheered and helped. "It'll seem so good," she said, "to think you're right under me. I shall not feel half so lonesome." ''Knock on the floor, then, if you are ill in the night and want me," Clara answered. "I shall be glad to help you if I can," and she went back to her room full of plans to make Miss Allen more comfortable; she would carry her up one of the flannel sheets ehe had brought from Falmouth, and paste one of her windows with strips of paper about the sash edges, it was so near her bed. She went to rest in quite another temper from that of the morning, though she did not know it. The next day had its own work, the dull routine of school, the recurrent lessons, the stupid children. One was absent, 'Do any of you know where Sally Blair is to-day?" she asked.

"Please, m, she s down with a broke leg, said a boy who lived next door to the Blairs. So, after school, Clara went down into Elm street, and hunted up the house. It was an old brown tenement, where four families lived, but inquiries enough led her to the back-room on the second story, and open ire the doer to a gruff ''Come in !" she found Sally stretched on a cot in the corner, her half-paralyzed father in a chair by the fire smoking a clay pipe, her mother at the wash' tub b S widorw; twodirty babie8 tumbling on fl and the wholroom fllled witg h inde8Cri5able ox of dirt grea8e fry. ing, soapsuds and tobacco, that is so often the only atmosphere the poor know. Mrs. Blair wiped her hands on her apron and set a chair; the man nodded and laid down his pipe; the twins looked up in surprise, and Sally began to cry. Certainly Clara had found evil here. Sally was so giaa to see ner, nowever, mat sne felt it repaid her coming, and the twins ceased their noisy play while she sat there talking gently and tenderly to the child, who had become a burden instead of a help to that poverty-stricken familv. When she at last left them, promising to come again, and picked her way back through the filthy, foggy streets to her boarding house, just within the door she met the table girl com ing out of the dining room with tea and toast on a waiter; it was for Miss Allen, and Clara volunteered to take it up. She found her friend quite helpless, and very tearfully glad to see a kind face. Clara made her more comfortable in a few minutes, and scarcely observed that her own tea was cold and her butter soft because she came late to her supper. Her Bible that night seemed to tell another story to her heart; her little room, full of the home tokens and touches she had brought with her seemed no longer sad; she was filled with the contrast between t appliances and comforts, and the four bare wans, tne wooden cnairs. ana tne un easy bed above her, and the grimy, oppressive poverty of the Blairs' home. She did not even remember to pour out her own sorrows in her prayers, she felt such an earn est desire that these others should be helped and comforted. Now she had two new interests in her life, and the days seemed too short. She could make Sally a warm sack out of one she had to spare, and little woolen dresses for the twins from a skirt that had outlived its use fulness as far as she was concerned; also, out of her scant earnings she could now and then take the child an orange or a few crackers. There was a daily visit tc pay Miss Allen, a book from the free library to read to her when the room was not tco cold to sit in, a flower, perhaps, that some kindly scholar had brought her to light to the invalid's room, or a fresh piece of toast which she persuaded the cook to lot her make herself. So the days went on towards Thanksgiv ing; other people beside Llara had heard that sermon which so impressed her. Mrs. Armstead, whose husband was the pastor of the church, had taken it to her own heart; ner boy went to school were Clara was a teacher, and liked Miss King with a boyish enthusiasm. His mother, too, had watched her sad. delicate face across the church, and now that Thanksgiving t'.me drew near, she thought of the girl with kindly provision, and went one Saturday to see her. Clara was both pleased and surprised, and showed all her better self, as we all do to genuine sympathy. Are you going home to Thanksgiving, tvi XT Hnfl. " colH 1m A MnntAAl I -.-..a. m tiara s eyes nuea. -a naven i any nomei" u ooiui umu nviwuau v,wij covjrcu i i.;-- a j l u j wueu a ire u we kiss kuucueu uer lureueau. "Poor little soul!" said the motherly vis itor. "You are then the very person 1 want 1 ou must come and take your A. io see. iou musi come ana wüte your Thanksgiving ainner wita ii 'i !onn.ny thinks Mias King is 'just bully.' Forgive the slang, dear, it is Johnny's greatest compliment, and you ought to know Mr. Armstead, since you attend his Church. I shall expect you right after service; don't forget." And with another kiss she took leave. A little thing to do, perhaps, but giving a great pleasure. Clara felt as if the sun shone into her room all that day, and in the Church porch the next morning, a bow and smile from the minister's wife seemed to make the Church itself homelike. Thanksgiving Day came at last; but before it came Clara had learned its lesson; in the want and suffering of others she found fresh knowledge of her own comforts and bless ings; works had vindicated and rekindled her faith; her prayers were vitalized by the spirit of Him who came to seek and save the lost; and sharing 11 is labor she shared also His recompense. It was with a heart fully attuned to the hour that she sat down in her seat t hear Mr. Armstead's sermon, and as see turned to her Bible, to follow his Scripture reading, her eye fell again on that text of query; and with a full heart she read and receivea it an. "There be manv that sav. who will show - j - 0 j us any good? Lord, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. Thou has put glacness in my heart more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace and sleep, for Thou, Lord, only makest me to dwell in eafety." Clara's question was answered. Pretty Faces Kare In Cyprus. When a remark had been made to a wealthy native about the dearth o' pretty faces in Cyprus, he replied that the lurks twenty years ago took away all the hand soniest girls to Constantinople. Occasion ally, very occasionally, says a recent writer, one sees a maiden graceful, tall, and lithe, whose purely ureek head is adorned witn a pair of Eastern eyes. The children of both sexes are, when healthy, charmingly pretty from the age of four or nve to eight or ten; but the vast maioritv are puny, pale and unhealthy. They are nrsed too long b gby with their mothers, and are then crammed w all sorts of unfit food, such as olives, beans, etc.. never getting milk or a farinaceous diet. They suffer more than adults from malarial fever, and almost all are afflicted more or less with disease of the spleen. It Z ,31 mm 1 A Am M A " J U V.M lw I. C.

Sam'a Sledding1 Trip to the Susquehanna Some Puzzlea and Solutions. Philadelphia Times. Sam lives near the Susquehanna river. He is a head taller than the table in his mother's kitchen and he can see out at any window in the house without climbing into a chair. Sam's mother is a widow. At least everybody says she is a widow, because one stormy morning Sam's father tried to take a raft of logs down to the Chesapeake Bay and he never again was seen. There are many hills around the house and some of the hills are high and steep. One day last week Sam got homo from school in time to chop a big pile of wood before supper. There was more than an hrtnr nf rlavlicht left in the skv when he had split his last stick, so he asked his mother if he could go out and have some fun with his 8led. "Yes," said Widow Freeling, "you may run to the little hill for a little minute, but keep away from the river and don't get hurt." bain scam per ea quiCKiy on over tu snow and soon reached the top of the little hill. It was so cold that Sam's nose felt like an icicle. The snow was covered with a smooth crust, which was hard enough to bear Sam's sled, but which would break under Sam's feet. "Good, thought bam to himself, it's a goin' to be nice, for I can scoot down hill and the runners won't cut through, and when I'm a pullin' up hill 1 can get a good foothold for climbin'." He hugged his sled in his arms, gavo a kick and sped away. Widow Freeling, who just then was loooking from a window, smiled as she saw how nicely the sled was goingand how Sam was enjoying himself. Up and down, up and down, up and down went the happy boy, making a trip every two minutes. Uy-and-by, when Y idow x ree ling glanced at the little hill, Sam could not be seen. 'I guesspie's on t'other side of the hill," she said to herself. But Sam wasn't on the other side. He had made up his mind to try one of the big hills, for he was a daring boy, and couldn't be contented with such mild "port as the little hill afforded. He was warm now and his breath seemed like steam, lie puffed and blowed as he tugged his 6led up a slope a half mile long and he felt the blood-run through his veins, so hot was it and so eager was he to do a big deed. When he reached the top of the great hill he clapped his hands in glee. BeFore him was a hillside that sloped for a long ways to the south. It was a better slope than the one up which he had just climbed. He looked at the house down bv the little hill, and, as he saw the blue smoko curling from the chimney, he laughed to think what an appetite he would have for . r i tne supper mat nis moiner was preparing. r or an instant u occurreu to mm mat ii would be better to use the northern slope of the hill, but, being full of the love of bold things, he stretched himself at full length face downward, on the sled and chirruped as though he were chirruping to a horse. Wrhat a pretty sight it was to see Sam run down the slope! J ust look how slowly thu sled is going now. Sam is out of patience with it; he chirrups; he Kicks; he doesn't see why the sled is so pokey. But at this minute isn't the sled running somewhat taster? Yes, so it is I It made a spurt then. See how Sam's scarf is flapping be hind. Look! look! how the sled darts now; how it flies down the snow-path it's got speed on now a bird couldn't catch it a swallow would be lett beninai liurrani turrah! hurrah! But let us follow Sam. Sure enough, he . '.ja 1 s ratner Dar a to louow, oecause it seems as hough he is never going to stop. The hilläde is longer than he thought it was. II) Is getting scared himself, lie sees the foot if the hill, but he fears it will be hard to stop the sled without an upset. At the foot of the hill is a wide hollow, ana cn the other id f ,h h llow ig a risine 8lo 'She'll . run up that a little ways and come to a standstill," said Sam, under his breath. Tho sled reaches the hollow nie? across it like r. flash and shoots up the other slope not a little ways, &s Sam thought, but a long distance, for the gio is not 8teep indeed there a break in the elope and the elod feels it In . L.t : -.u- .u-. the break the sled gains for a moment, in8tead of losing headway. gto gam gtop di your toes into tho snow! throw the sled on its side! Mop or you are over the crest of the hill and it's supper time and Widow Freeling waits bv tne DacK-iog nrei Sam is not able to break the crust with hu toes. He can not lurch the sled, which is like a runaway horse, ne is on the crest; ho is over the hilltop; he 3 gone. When the sled mounted the crest of tho hill Sam looked down tho slope on the other side. His heart seemed to stand still. He saw that the slope led down to the river. He tried hard then to get off the sled, but his hand had caught between the runner and the wood work. The sled which had slackened a little on the slight up-grade. now fairly flew. 1 he iron runners cracked and snapped against the snow crust like angry dogs. The air went backward with a whizz. Cling, Sam; cling foryour Iitel , The sled gained speed with every inch. It drew nearer and nearer a river bluff. J reached the bluff, toppled on the brink an fell. Sam knew for an instant that the sled had left the snow and was flying through the air. He felt a shock and instantly his mind was blank. Slowly his sense of feeling came back. In the first glimmer of return ing consciousness he seemed to see an army of little men all around him. The men were no bigger than his iack-knife. They were armed with swords of ice little bits c sharp-pointed icicles and they appeared tu be sticking the swords into his left arm be tween the elbow and shoulder. Sam tried to lift his arm away from the little men, whereapon they grew furious and thrust a ihousand times harder, so that the poor arm felt riddled through and through with needles. But as the minute assed Sam's mind became clearer. The ittle men with icicles vanished. Sam mad? a great effort and sat up. He saw that thousands of bright stars filled the sky. Oveihead was the bluff from which he had fallen. He was in a bank of snow. His sled was under his left arm, and it did not take Sam long to decide that the arm was broken. A few yards away was the river, which wa covered with ice. "Oh, if mamma only knewl" Sam sobbed; "if mamma only knew 1" He brushed away the tears with his right hand and setting his teetb hard together I ii.,., mi i.r i struggled to his feet. Then ho took breath i great, buvu. "Held helDl helot" he shouted, and the bluff echoed the shout and another bluff reechoed it. But there was no answer. The sky seemed as though it had no heart. The river was black and its waters gurgled under the ice. Again Sam shouted and many times again. "I shall freeze," said Sam. I shall die and poor mamma won't have anybody.1' Then he cried so pitifully that the wind moaned too. It was laying: Til

help you, little lad; shout once more." And Sam shouted. Then the wind appeared to

whisper: "See what I'll bring you after you shout another time." And as Sam shouted another time he heard a real answering shout, not an echo. "Hillo, boy, hillo, hillo, hillo! Where be ye, boy?" "Here," said the boy, '-here I am under the bluff." Sam saw two men running along the river shore, drawing nearer and nearer. Clo?e at their heels was Widow Freeling. Her hair was streaming in the wind and her face was like the snow. She sprang ahead of the men and took Sam in ner arms. She trem bled greatly, and when she lifted her head to the sky nobody but Sam could hear her say: "I thank Thee," for her words were thick in her throat and her eyes were full of tears. Little Folks Abroad. London Truth advertised recently to give a prize ot 2 2s. for the quaintest saying of a child. From several hundred contribu tions received the following are selected: "As wo were talking one day about churches and their curious ceremonies, a little boy remarked that he had seen a chrisening, a funeral and a wedding, but he had never seen a divorce."

I would rather have a little donkey.'1 A little girl, aged five, going to bed one and kneeling down night to s ly her prayers, said: "Oh mamma, may I only say Amen tonight? I am so tired." A DogThat Beats Dr. Tanner. Placer Argua. Iowa Hall can boast of a dog that outTanners Tanner, having lived forty-two davs without food or water. On the ICthday of September the animal owneJ by Mrs. Armstrong ot Bird's Flat, disap peared from its home. Thev marveled much at it3 prolonged absence, and, after futile inquiries and search, concluded that it had come to its death from cause unknown. On the 28th of October a neighbor out hunting cows was attracted to the edge of an old shaft by a faint yelping at the bottom. Peering down the shaft he discovered the long-lost canine. A ladder was secured and a boy sent to the res cue of the famishing animal, which could only shiver and laboriously move its tail for joy. The bottom of the shaft was tramped as hard and smooth as marble, and the sides as high as it could spring were furrowed and torn in its frantic efforts to escape. A aiet ol warm water ana milk was administered, and at last accounts it was recovering rapidly. Its weight befbre it disappeared was over 100 pounds, and when it was found it was less than twenty. A lady was praisinc tho amiability of her friend's husband, and asked how in the world she had ever brought him to such perfection; whereupon the friend sweetly answered that she did it chiefly with a oro-quet-mallet.
