Mr. Fhaw contrasted greatly with Iiis surroundinjrs his 'sixties cloth fitting so well Iiis strong, manly figure; Lis clear-cut Grecian features, and dark, wavy hair thrown back with careless rrace from liis smooth brow. lie was viiung one of those wretched ten ement houses usetl by the very poor, and be töre tum was a inrloni prouj. A widow who had ju"-t buried he husband; she had live helpless children the oldest six, the youngest a nurelinir. habe, and a pair of twins anions; them. The rai;s, and. worse than all, the dirt of poverty, everywhere apparent. An expression ot almost sublime pitv rested on the countenance of the minister. The woman, with her apron thrown over her head, rocked herself to and fro, and wailed forth her troubles "I don't know what I'm a-poin' to do for myself and the little 'uns. Thoucrh my old man would have his drink, he didn't beat ti2, and brought enough to in to keep body and soul together, hut now I know we can't do not hin' hut Marve and die!" "Have you no I'ricnds?" aked Mr. .shatv in a low tone. "8cni-. but ax bad or wns oil' than us. Ye?," she said, looking up with a grateful, briiiht expression. "There is one Lord bless her! who ha done a lot for nie Miss Mebitable Shanks. She sent medicine and the doctor to the old man, and sruv me clothes and suthin' to eat; and many's the man, woman and child what blesses her for takin care of em. hy, sir, she even leaves little cards with stamps on 'em. ami Job 1'otter, who can write. semN 'cm to her when we are in a verv bad state." Ai'ter a-urin her of his svmnathv and that lie would do what he could for her, the minister wended his way home. As lie thouirht of tho-e to whom lie mipht appeal, a vision of a sweet, bright face haunted him, but while be lingered over the thought most tenderly, there was a shadow on his brow as if there was some slight jar that marred the harmony of his thoughts. Mr. Shaw was rector of one of the wealthy churches of the city, and Ma Helle Leo was one of his parishioners. Her face was Madounalike in its tender curves and beauty, the large blue eyes with just a tinge of sadness, the perfect curve of the red lips, a faultless complexion, and blonde hair that was like a halo of lig.it rouiHl the graceful head. Hut ah, w hen she talked it was like a damper, a mitona beautiful picture, marring the tints that otherwise would have been perfect. bright and witt r, but a butterfly; such a devotee to society that one longed for the expression of a single serious thought that could leaven into something like common sense this person i heat ion ol frivolity. With it all, however, she was lovely and loveable to every one, and Mr. Shaw had long struggled acainst an interest in her, the indulance of which he felt would be fatal to his future happiness and usefulness. Absorbed in these thoughts he found him self in front of Mr. Lee's house, and, obey ing an impulse, he turned into the gate and was admitted. As Miss Iee entered the parlor he thought he had seldom seen a fairer vision, and was vexed to feel his liert throb more ouicklv. and thrill with a pleasure that he felt must le controlled, she greeted liitn with that eay rrace which was one of her principal charms. "Ah. Mr. haw! I am so srlad to see you. 1 have had a real spell of ennui this moruimr. The lat novel N wretched, as both hero and heroine die in the most provoking way. all lwcau.se of some overstrained idea of duty. anl I was just wishing that someone would come in and I could have a cheerful little chat to disj-el the gloomy impresion." "Jhon 1 m afraid, smilingly, "vou will not like your present visitor, I have not come in a very cheerful humor; and, beidos, 1 wish to ask a lavor. "A favor. That is too lovely ! Consider it granted, even to the half of my kingdom. 1 am truly glad that ymi wih to ask a favor of me, because I did not think your opinion of.me was suthcicntly good for such a thing. loyou know," with a sudden droop of the eyes, "that you always make me feel a- if I am lining something wrong:" "Do 1? Well. 1 shall give you a gulden opportunity now to redeem yourself. 1 have just been visiting some of th.-c- wretchedly j oor fdinilii- in street, and 1 would like -o much if you could interest some ladies in t!i ir bcl.ali; visit tin-in mid relieve them." A look of consternation overspread her pretty face as she exclaimed : "On, indeed, you don't mean for mo to go there! How could I ew r stand it . I can't hear such jlace! Ask me clinost anything else. The dreadful men and children, the odor! I gh!'' with a shudder. "Ask me alni,.st anything else!" A look of keen dispoiiitmeiit drifted over Mr. Shaw's face. She suddenly brightened and said: "I do intend to do something go.d next weck. 1 have refused a gernian." triumphantly, "that I may attend the chanty calico hall to be given. You know all the" Ureses are for the poor, so 1 shall do some good." "And what is yourdros to he'.'" asked Mr. S-'haw-, with rather an indescribable inflection to bis voice. "The loveliest light blue silesia with a Howered cretonne front," she replied enthusiastically, "sie -velexs waist. Medici collar, shirred and very bout'ant draperies It will be beautiful, and I know it will seem very nice to some jxior woman who has never had anything like it." "Yes,1 he said in a tone quite saturated with irony, "I don't doubt its usefulness; hut don't vou think you ought to add a few yards of illusion to make sonic warm ho lies for tliose who have no lire', and a few van! of riblxm to decorate the little freezing arms?" "Now you ore angry with me. Mr. Shaw," she said hesitatingly. "Jont think me utterly heartless, but I can't goto street. It would really give me a blue chill." "I could never consent to such a cruel thing as that," he said with an unpleasant sniiie. "1 really feel tuat 1 owe you an aoIogy for intruding such a disagreeable subject, particularly after your nerves were shattered with your novel. Good morning, and he lowed himself out rather abruptly with a strange little pain in his heart. He did not again allude to the subject to her. but found other ladies who interested themselves most warmly in the work. K very where that lie went in bis charity rounds, lie could see and feel the influence of Miss fcdiank's rrod tu ts. She seemed to be an angel of mercy, w ho never tired, and who devoted her entire time to charity. All that the did was marked by a practical good sense, anil a depth of thought and feeling that he could not fail to admire. Still he chanced never to meet her. Oae day, when vutcriuj Uie röstoüice, Ue

saw in advance of him the graceful figure Ma llelle Lee. She was unaware of his presence, and, standing idly behind her. he felt as if he had received an electric shock as she a-sked: "Is there anything for Miss Mebitable Shanks?' and then received and pocketed several postal cards. If he was astonished at the question, he was still more so at the effect which his discovered presence produced ujkjii her. Neck, face and brow, even t the roots of her golden curls were dyed in a painful crimson, her eyes dilated with an expression of consternation; but with a few hasty steps he soon overtook her. He was lost ia a bewildering surprise. She was the last person with whom he would have connected. Miss Shanks in any war, and her great agitation, as lie walked beside her, increased his surprise. A sudden bright suspicion caused his heart to beat almost to suiTocation. "Tell me. Miss Ma Helle." he said, "what have you to do with Miss Shank's letters?" "I really can't understand, Mr. Shaw, what right you have to ask such a question. In all things spiritual I acknowledge your right, but in this instance vou forget yourself." "Tell nie," he said, with eager, regardless haste, "are you Miss Shanks?" A sudden burst of tears was her only answer, as she hastily pulled down her veil and walked silently beside him. A calm of perfect joy descended ujon hin as he realized the truth. He walked by her side until he reached Ler home, and then, without invitation, entered it with her. As they reached the parlor she tossed aside herhat, and stood before him more like a discovert-d culprit than the tittle saint she had proved to be. There was a dcf;ant sparkle in her eyes as she turned her flushed face to him. He took both of her hands in his. "So. Ma Belle, Ma llelle," lie murmured tenderly, your heart is a leautiful as your face, though yeu have veiled your goodness under an exterior of frivolity. This is not the general rule of humanity." "Hut, Mr. Shaw, if it is a fault it lies entirely at your door." "Have I anything to do with it ?" in surprise. "I have Im-cu thinking for a long while that you were entirely beyond my control." "Nevertheless I have only been obeying your instructions. Don't you remember, some time since you preached against ostentatious charity. Let not thy left hand know what thy right band doeth." I thought there was a world ol truth and force in it, and I have only practiced what you preached. And now, Mr. Shaw," she said, with a demure glance at him, ''if you are done with i?y hands I will not trouble you to hold them any longer." "No,':"he said gravely, "I do not wish to return them. Ma Helle! Ma Helle!" quickly and tenderly: "give me the privilege of owning them always. Won't you. darling?" She caught them quickly away. "No, no," with a l w faugh;" "it is Miss Shanks with whom you have fallen in love, for Ma Helle Lee has only had vour toleration." "Ah." he said, "tint was when I thought you were a butterfly. Now that I know you to be a saint. I beg you to share your grace with with me and help me in all good things. Iam willing to take either you or Miss Shants or, in defiance of the laws of the land, I will take you both!" Bhe hesitated, then with a lovely blush and smile, she laid her hands in his. " "One for Miss Shanks one for myself."

He drew her to him, and felt that one ser mon at least had been bread cast upon the water, which had returned to him ai'ter many days. DID GRANT BELIEVE THAT TILDEN WAS ELECTED? .Mr. George Washington Childs Says So. IMr. Childs in New York Tribune. 1 General Grant was staying with me during the canvass of the election between Tilden ami Haves, and on the morning of the mo mentous day he accompanied me to my of fice. In a few moments an eminent repub lican Senator ami one. or two other leading I'cpublicans walked in, and they went over the returns. These leaders said "Hayes is flirted." an opinion in which the others co incided. Oeneral Orant listened, but said nothing. After they had settled the matter in their own minds he said: ":entlemen. it looks to me as if Mr. Tilden was elected." He afterward sent for me in Washington and said: "This matter is very complicated, and the people will not be satlsgul unless something is done m regard to t which will look like justice." "Now.'' l.c continued, "I have sioken of an Llcctoral Commission, and the leaders of the party tire opjoscd to it, which I am sorry to see. They say that if an Klectoral Commission is a ji'-intcd you might as well count in Mr. Tilden. I would sooner have Tilden than that the He publicans should have a President who could be stigmatized as a fraud. If I were Mr. Hayes I would not have it unless it was settled in some way outside of the Senate. This matter is opposed by the leadin.: Kepubhcans in the House and Senate and throughout the country. President tirant invited the loading Sena tors to iline with him that day to get their sentiment. He said to me: "You see the tccling here. I lind tbemilmost universally opi-osid to anything like an Electoral CommisMon. 1 named a leading Hemocrat in the House, who was, jxrhaps, one of the most prominent men in the country, a man if great intlucnce and of great integrity of character, whom it would be well for Gen eral (iruTit to see in the matter, and the suggestion was at ted on. I sent for this gentlcir;.n and pift the dilemma to him in President Grant's name as follows; "It is very ban. I for the President and very embarrassing as to men on his own side that this matter does not seem to lind favor with them as well as to have I enioeratic opposition. Pep ul licans think you might as well count Tilden in. but a- the feeling throughout the country demands as honest a count of the thing as iossible. this Electoral Cotninis-ion ought te be ai"iointcd." The answer at once ':.s that the IVniocrats would favor it. and it was through that gentleman and General Grant that the matter was carried throng. Grant was the originator of the plan, lie sent for Mr. Conkling, and said with deep arm Muess: "I'liis matter is a ?oriou one, and the jK'opIe feci it very deeply. I think t hi Electoral Commission ought to Ik aplointcd.'' Conkling an-v,crel, "Mr. Prcsidclit. Senator Morton who was then the acknowledged leader of tii Senate is opposed to it. and opjKs-d to your cllorts; but if you wish the Commission carried. I can do "it." He said. "I wish it done." Mr. I onkling took bold of the matter and put it through. The '.calling Hemocrat I have spoken of took the initiative in the House and Mr. Conkling in the Senate. General Patterson, of Philadelphia, who was an intima'e friend of General Jackson, and a lift-long Democrat, was alo sent for. He had large estates in the South and a great deal of " intlucnce with the iK-mocrats, and particularly with Southern Democrats. General Patterson was upward of eighty, but he came down there and remained one or two weeks, working hard to accomplish the purpose in view. After the bill hud passed aud was waiting for nignatnre. General Grant went to n State fair in Maryland the day it should have been signed, and there was much irrturbation about it. General Grant acted in good faith throughout the whole business. It has been said that the changing complexion of the court threw the matter into Hayes' hands and if the court had remained s it was, Tilden would have been declared President. General Grant was the soul of honor in this matter, and no one ever accused him or even hinted that be was untruthful in any way. I. for one, don't believe that lie could tell a lie or act deceitfully. Any Small Hoy, Willi a Stlik, can kill a tiger if the tiger happens to be found when only a little cub. So consumption, that deadliest and most feared of diseases in this country, can assuredly be conquered and destroyed if Dr. Pierce's "Golden Medical Discovery" employed cady.

Told by an English Toll i ate Keeper i:i Youth's Cuiiatiliii. There is one night, a winter night, I shall never forget. It was wild and clattery, and the windows of my little house by the toll-Rate thook ami shuddered with the weather-aue. After midnight there came in a handsome man, with a soft video, lie wanted to wait for the early morning mail-coach, lie said. He was showily dressed, with a ureat plossy pluine on "hi peaked hat. On his velvet cloak, with cherry-ripe lining, was silvery lace. He was very easy and frank, and he pleased me much. "You must he h.nesonie here, old gentleman,''' he said, in a musical voice, 'since you say you have no wife or child. If you had a little prattler here, I guess you would be -rood to it?" "Of course I would," I returned, and then we both dropped into a drowsy silence, and listened to the low. woodchuek-like singing of the green wood sap. I was the first to sjeak. "Mister," said I. "it is none of my business, but excuse me if I ask what is your occupation." "Oh, certainly." he. replied, with gay pood-nature. "I am a travelling w7.ard, a conjurer, a tragedian at times. I live upon the whims of the public." Soon after I stretched out. and was just going oil" to sleep, when I heard a ijueer noise, a noke like the cry of a child, where my filai;reed gentleman sat. "What is that, sir?" I inquired. "I am doing it for my own diversion." he explained, 'mo I won't drop to sleep and lose the coach. I am also a ventriloquist. I can imitate a peevish child to perfection." "tlo ahead." said 1. "fkon." said he: and presently, if I ever heard a tired ciiild, it seemed as if I heard one then, and the last I remember, before I fell asleep, wa? bearing faint cries, growing fainter, ot "father" 'mother!" When I opened my eyes again, the gray face of dawn was at the window, the snowwas clicking upon the door, the coach had come and gone, and gone too was my fantastic gentlema n! Hut there was something strangely warn near my face and neck. "Scat!'' I cried, thinking old puss had crept near, as the room grew colder towards morning. Hut instead of a cat (there lay the brightest little girl, in a blue hood and mink wraps, tue little girl my fine gentleman nad all the while under his cloak, when he was pretending to be a ventriloquist. "hoorfy!" I shouted, nervous and bewildered. "What door name?" demanded BlueHood. "Caleb Mittens," I replied, as meek before this babe as it it had been President of the Turnpi ke Company. "Caleb Mitten, Caleb Mittens," lisped the little tbinir. "Then I must be Little Mittens Little Mitts; don must call me Little Mitt-." "All right! Little Mitts it is." said I. "IVk is doing to be dood?" further inquired Little Mitts. 1 promised to be "dood." and from that moment and this promise the child clung to me like a slender vine with crceers. She went nearly wild over the oddities of the old toll-house; the snutl'-rolored cat, the brass-headed andirons, and particularly tbe tall, moon-faced, old-fashioned clock. "I know," she chirped, "w'v don make that clock stand up and fold its hands in the corner. It aint been nice, and it's got to stay there and count ever so many before it can come down and play." I held her to the window, to see the snowflakes sifting steadily down. " Mittens!" she exclaimed, lavin; her pink palms together like mated sea-s'.ulls. "See! see! The world is tilling up with white ;es ana miners: In the window li' ht I had a fairer view of her prtlty face. I pon the matter of eves, nature seemed to have Ven undecided, tor one eye was skyblue and the other a good black. One day I ask d her about it. "Tos," explained Little Mitts, "niv mamma bad blue eyes, a ml my papa black. nd 1 was my mamma s and papa s girl both " Lut beyond the colors of the eyes, and "a great big, ever so big, house among the hi;h tret s," her nu mory did not go in the recall of the event? of her mysterious babyhood. From the first time she saw the toll-bar swung, it became to her a source of boundless delight, causing her often to shout and dance with a glee that was almost a rapture. Lvery passer through the pate, human or animal, interested her, and was interviewed by. her. Once a sheep-herder came up, with several hi.ixlied beads, whereupon she ran to me, radiant with surprise, ami shouting. "O Mitten, come out! come out. ijuick! There's whole big lots of prcat joodle dogs at the gate, and they are all in a hurry to get doo, 'tos thev are all crying, 'bar! bar!' " She thought, the "baa" of the sheep was the cry of "'jar! bar!" which fietfnl jkup!e make when they are anxious to get throuuh. "Well, the rest is sad enough, and I can hut make it short, for it is too dreadful to dwell UHn. Little Mitts prew yearly taller and handsonicr. L'veryliody said she would make a splendid woman, even if one eye was black and the other blue. I could never wean her from tending the toll-bar. "Young ladies," said I, "have no business tending toll-gates." "I'm not a young lady," she declared, laughing until both eyes became the sime color, and that color the jolliest blue. "I'm your Little Mit. for life and death." Tint darkness was nigh. One fearful night Uttle Mitts sat up with me later than was her wont. There had been robbers in the neighborhood. "Mittens, dear," she inquired, "aint you afraid of roblrers? You have no help ot hand but slender mc, and it is generally known that you have saved money, and that it is in this house." . "I have not the least fear, Little mits," said I, rciuririgly, aad tkcu she kissed xue,

good-night and clung to me with a tenderness unusual even for her. before she went to her bedroom out of the toll-house. Jjiter than midnight I let in two powerfulbuilt men, dttectives, they said they were, searching for deserting soldiers. They had crape drops over their faces, "to keep the sleet rom their eyes," one of them explained. I turned to give the fire a jog, at which one of them thundered, "Now then, old man, pass over all your ready cash !" I turned and looked at them. ' Each was covering me with a revolver. "Never!"' was niv reply. "I vrould rather die than lose all I have, in my old age and feebleness." "Click! click!" went their pistols, as they slowly pronounced, 'One'' A gust down the chimney drove the smoke into the loom. "Two!" There was a lipht step. Some one entered. Three !' I saw a Hash, I heard a loud report, an oath, and a wild cry, and then there came a swift roll of smoke. 1 lie smoke of the chimney and guns was lifted by a gust of wind from the door. I saw a white tiKure fallinp. It was Little Mitts, shot through her blessed body. She had cc-me to save her old worthless fosterfather s life! Then the lire flared, and the room was still. The rufrians must have tied, for I saw theni no more. Regardless of all else, I carried her to the btd. and bent over her. No one but God, who knows the vast depths there are in stricken human nature, knew how I felt. "Kiss me, Mittens, dear," shegasjed; "and have no heart of fear, for the road I am going stretches out fairer and brighter before mc and oh, the Golden Gates are opening! Kiss me farewell, dear old father and" the tiolden (iates had opened. She was dead. 1 have never been able to unravel the mystery of her abandonment in her early childhood, but I still try to keep the promise I made her to ''be good," hoping some day her little hands may open the (iolden Gates and let the old gate-keeper pass through into that world she saw in her vision.

A Sunday-school teacher was much amused at the peculiar use of synonymous words by one of ids pupils. (Question: "Name the lirst five books of the New Testament." Answer: "Matthew, Mark, Luke, Johu. aud the Tricks of the Disciples." "Where did Adam first live?" asked a New York Sunday-school teacher of her scholars. No restonse. "Why, children, you must know; it was in some garden. Now, what garden was it?" "Oh, I know, laum!" said a little fellow with a foreign accent, holding up his hand. "Well, my boy, what garden was it?" "Castle Garden, mum!" There is a certain spoiled child of our acquaintance who reflects sadly on her parents by displaying conceit that must be liereditary. The child has been carefully instructed in praying, and has been told whom to pray for, and her nurse is included. So she folds her little arms and prays that "Sally may always live in a good family where there's a nice little girle like me." "How much will your new school-books cost, Johnny?" asked his father. Johnny calculates to himself, sotto voce, "lmiu'e see: sixty-two cents for the singing books, seventy-live cents for a new 'rithmetic, one dollar and twenty-five cents for a " new jogprcphy, twenty-live cents for a new hockey, half a dollar for a new bat, and a qnarter for candy." Then out aloud says: " 'liout four dollars!" Little Sammy was looked upon as quite a prodigy in the Farr family. It was customary to nave him show off for the entertainment of guests. One morning Mr. Farr said, "Now Sammy, get your Bible and read to us, beginning with the verse at which you chance to open." This was to convince his hearers that Sammy had not been made familiar With certain chapters only. Having ojened the book, Sammy read, in loud and measured tones, " 'Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bustle,' " etc. New Tlieory In Natural History. Enthusiastic Younjr Naturalist.

Messrs. llexter A: Newell crossed the Columbia at Alkali on the new steam ferry the other day with a band of Gl 1 hcrscs, brought from the Yakima country, which tLcy will drive over the trails to I hcyt line, expecting to be four months on ibe road. They had a force of twenty herders and fifty saddle cayuscs for them to ride. These horses were unbroken, and as every day the herders had to change horses, there was tuts of fun in camp. Kach man had to. catch and ride the horse pointed out to him by the I oss. If he could not ride the "buckintx cay use" selected he bad the privilege of selling out to one who could. The siht when the order to mount was given in the niornin discounted any equestrian display ever seen in lUirnu m's Vi reus. Such racing and chaii and bucking, stifT-legged. as then took place was a caution. One agile cayuse carried his rider through a wagon, and then leaping on top of a small tent came down inside of it.
