THE EMERALDS.

One wintry afternoon in January, away up in the bleak attic of a wretched tenementhou.se, & pale, sad-eyed woman sat sewing. The garment upon which she was engaged was a very rich dress. The twilight closed in rapidly, with a blinding fall of snow, a bitter, wailing blast, that made the windows rattle in the casements. .Still the pale-faced woman stitched on. "Mother," piped a sweet voice from the cot beneath the window, "shall you get the fine dress done? Oh. my mother, I'm so hungry. If I only had some tea and a bit of

sausage. She worked on steadily fur a few moments, paused only to brush a tear from her white cheek, then arose and shook out the glimmering robe. " 'Tis done at last," she said. "Now mother'aJittle girl can have her supper; only be patient a little longer, Flora. Ross, Ross, where are you, my boy?'' A manly little fellow came out from the little bedroom beyond. "The tine dress is done, Koss," aid his mother; "and you must run home with it as fast as you can. Miss Garcie will be out of patience, I know. Tell her I couldn't finish it one moment sooner, and ask her to give you the money. We must have it to-night. And you can ' stop in at 31 r. Ray's, as you come back, and buy some coal; and we must have some .bread and tea, and a mite ot butter, and you must get a sausage, Kons, for poor little Flora."

"1 II get them all, mother, he said, "and be back in time. You shall have big sau- . nage, little sis," he added, turning toward the cot. The girl nodded her curly head, and her great, wistful eves sparkled with delight. "And you shall have half of it. Ross," she piped, in her splendid bird voice. "Hadn't you better put on your thick acket, my boy?" continued h'is mother. Th wind cuts like a knife." -Pshaw, little mother, I don't mind the wind." And awav he went down the creaking stairs and out Into the storm. Miss Garcia Fontenay was is a perfect furore of impatience and anger. Her dear 600 friends were assembled in the halls below and her handsome dress had not come home. What did that beggar woman mean by disappointing her. At that moment there was a ring at the door and a voice in the hall.

"Please tell Miss Garcia my mother could not finish it sooner; she wants the money tonight." The servant took the handsome dress and message. "I'll never give her another stitch of work," cried the angry beauty; "I ought to have had it three hours ago. Here, Fanchon, dress me at once there's not a minute to lose. .No, I can't pay to-night I haven'ttime. He must call to-morrow." "But we've no fire and nothing to eat, and my little sister is sick," called the little boy, pushing up tne grand stairway. "Shut the door, Fanchon!" commanded Miss Garcia. And tbe door was closed in his face. Froia the porch at the parlor window Pansie watched the whole scene, her violet

eyes distended with childish amazement. "Poor little boy," she said, as Rosa disappeared down the stairway; "sister Uartia ought to pay him. It must be dreadful to

stern and commanding, "I want to know how you came by this?" The boy's clear eyes fell; he flushed and stammered, evidently .embarrassed. The jeweler put 'aside the emeralds, and taking the lad s arm led him into a small ante-room. "You are a thief, sir," he said. "That necklace belones to Mr.Fontenav he bought

and I know it was wrong to take it, but but my mother and sister are starving." The jeweler hesitated. "You don't look like a thief," he said; "but I will send for Mr. Fontenay; that will settle the matt.T at once."

lie dispatched a messenger accordingly, and Ross sat down in a corner and sobbed bitterly as he heard the driving winds and thought of his mother and poor little Flora. In half an hour Mr. Fontenay came, bringing his daughter, little Pansie. with him.

He put out his little brown hand, which Psnsie instantly clasped in her chubby palms. "I'm not a thief, sir," he said at last, addressing Mr. Fontenay; ''I never stole anything in my life. I know it was wrong to take the necklace but but, sir, mv little sister is starving."

The merchant drew his hands across his eyes. "You're a manly little fellow," he said, patting the lad's head, "and I do not in the least blame you, but I will take Pansie's emeralds, and she shall give vou something more available. Here, " Pansie. give this to your little friend." He put a gold piece into Pansie's hands, which she tendered to Ross, with the iniune-

tion that he should run straight home and buy lots of goodies for his sister a command that he was not slow to oley. 4,I think we shall not lose sight of the little fellow," continued Mr. Fontenay, as Ross disappeared in the stormy darkness.

Again the good neighbors raised money, and once more a messenger was dispatched! This time the messenger was successful. The paralytic was found to be Jasper, and was brought home and nursed with the most devoted attention by his wife. For months he lay on his bed unable to move without her assistance, unable to speak. Hia sufferings were ended by death recently, but before his spirit winged its flight, speech was restored, and he asked and received the pardon of the woman he had so heartlessly 5eserted, and obtained from her a promise' that she would write to his former wife and ask for her forgiveness This Jlrs. Jasper did and received a reply by which she was informed that the

"You shall take it," she commanded imperiously, I have lots of jewelry and fine things run home now and buy your sister something to eat." " She closed the door with a bang, and Ross stood irresolute in the stormy gloom. Should he ring the bell and return the jewels to Pansie's father, or should he do as she had bid him? lie thought of his mother and poor little Flora watching wistfully for his return, lie could not go back and see them starve. "With a sudden feeling of desperation he thrust the glittering necklace in his pocket and dashed down the snowy street. The gaslight blazed brilliantly in a fashionable establishment, and its bland proprietor looked down inquiringly on little Kots as he approached the glittering counter. "Would you like to buy this sir?" Mbere was a tremor in 'the boy's voice as he asked the question, and tha band that held

And seating her beside his desk, he took the check and hurried out. Pansie Fontenay threw back her veil and leaned her head upon her hands, a puzzled, reflective look upon her sweet said face. "Where have I seen this face?" she asked herself over and over again. "It is so familiar; who in the world can it be?" , His return bsoke in upon her meditation, and after receiving her money, she hurried away to ber humble lodgings. The following afternoon was even more blustering and storay; the wind roared and the sleet tinkled against the window of tha little room in which Pansie and her fsther sat

The old mountaineer, when he comes to die, with his last whisper says his snowshoes are lost, with the stage-driver he is "on, a down-grade and can not reach the brake," the minor can ; notget to the air-pipe, tbe sailor says "e'ght bells have sounded,"and the gambler plays his last trump. A little girl died here a few years ago,, and as her mother held her wrist and noted the fainting and flickering pulse a smile came to the wan face and the child whispered: "There is no more desert here, mamma, but all the world is full of beautiful flowers." A moment later the smilo became transfixed. In an Eastern city, rot long ago, a Sister of Charity was
