BT SI43ABKTH 8TC7ABT PHELPS.

A little fellow, not much higher than a yard stick, stunted and stubbed like a dwarf pear tree, as dirty as tbe mud under hi# f«et,aa ragged as the Coliseum after the great gale with little, resiles*, grimy bands with little, restless, snapping eyes with a little, bttugry mouth bare feet (or nearly—be wore some boles with a little shoe to tb«m, bare hands, bare knees sticking through bis trowsenL a bat without a rim, a boy without bed—that was Bobbit.

It was six o'clock of a January night, and storming too. Bobbit was standing—sever mind the name of tbe street —bat he was standing at lhefcotof it (it was in Boston), in a little snow-drift, up to bis knees. The sleet went down his neck and up bis sleeves, and into tbe holes In bis trowsers, and into the holes wltb a litfle shoes on them it hung in fringe on his old bat, and swung to and fro like tbe fringe which ladies wear, headed with guipure lace upon their cloaks. Bobbit thought of that, looking out from behind the little icicles. Ho had seen a great many handsome cloaks that dny it was what he called a -handsome day' something was gel tig on at the Musio Hall, I believe. and the streets bad been full of pretty things a* tbe sky was of sununlit, tin the clouds and tbe sleet came up. For there is a greater difference ia the streets than you would ever suspect, unless you should belong to them arid

have

nothing to do but watch them

like Bobbitt. They have their 'scrubdays' and their dress days, like you or me or anybody else but Bobbit, whose whole liie had been a'scrub-day,' from beginning to end and neither you nor I nor anybody else butjust Bobbit himself can know, I suppose, what that may mean.

It's a brick of a nlaht to have supper,' naid Bobbit, staading in the snow-drift ~-'a brick.'

Bobbit tnlked slang, to be sure, never having enjoyed the benefits of what we call a liberal education' yet I am not sure, after all, that a Harvard graduate would have understood Bobbit if bo had stood in tbe snow-drift and beard what he said. In fact you would have to know that Bobbitt did not have a supper every nlgbt to understand it altogether and even then I do not think you would understand it unless you were to go without your supper two or three nights, or even one, yourself.

Tuesday Bobbit bad a dinner Monday be picked up quite a breakfast today he would have a dinner and a supper, too, it had been so stormy. There had been a good many gentlemen afraid to leave tneir horses. Bobbitt bad learned from

long

experience to tell by

tbe color of a horse, or by his hoofs or bis ears, whether he would be restless in a sleet storm. He bad earned ten cents since noon holding cream-col-ored horses with black manes and five for a little mouse-colored mare, just shaved.

Bobbit farrled half his snow-drift into a baker's shop with him. His eyes twinkled a little, like tbe feathers of a shuttlecock when you play fast. Was it not enough to justify anyone in feeling ltko a shuttlecock to have three days'living in his pocket For you see live cents would buy you two little rolls and a doughnut and to live for two days on ten cents'worth of baked beans, why, nothiug could be easier especially If you saved your ten cents Hud took your beans hot to-morrow noon.

Now when Bobbit had got into tbe baker's shop and bought bis doughnuts, he saw two little Irish boys looking in at the baker's window. 'That's a pity!' said Bobbit. for the two little boy* stood quite still flattening their noses on the glass. They bad ragged hats and holes in Lhoir shoes, and they stood in a snow-drift, as Bobbit had done. Now when two little boys will stand still in the throat of a sleet-storm to look In at a baker's window it generally means that they do it for good reasons and Bobbit bad doue it so many times himself tbat be looked wise wbon he said: 'That's a pity.' He looked at his doughnut's, too, then at the window, then at tho doughnuts so back and forth, as he would if bad been dodging a Hay market Square policeman.

I will take three doughnuts,* said be to the baker with a little gulp, 'and three cent's worth of bread. Now I've

ot three cents left. Won't you just over a fowcold beans?' So the baker gave him the bread and the doughnuts and cold beans, and Bobbit oame out.

Halloo said he. Loo!' aaid the Irish boys both together.

You bet noU' I live in a hotel,* said Bobbit, with an air.

There was a little smell of cold beans and bet doughnuts all about Bobbit. Tbe Irish boys followed him like two little dogs, asking no questions. They held their beads out and licked their lips.

Bobbit woand la and out like a cro-ehet-needle through loops of streets. The two boys 'looked spry* and 'tagged alter, Bobbit did not speak. He kept bis on stray policemen and his bat over his eyes.

The Irish boys lookrd (north, «*ast» soui'i, west}, looked again and looked bard. They saw nothing but an old wall of an old burned building that bid tbun a little from the road and the road from them, a pile of bare bleached tins-bt-r, and an old locomotive boiler, rusty and half buried in a heap of rubbish. But tbe cold beans and th? doughnuts were in Bobbit's pockets and laith in Bobbit was in tbr. i.. arts. •Now,' said Bobbit, wltb an amazing chuckle for a boy who was going to give to-morrow's dinner to another boy, •you walk right along as ef you was going to walk a mile, and when you see I've doven. dive.' The next they knew alter that Bobbit had 'doven* into tbe old engine boiler, and tbey after him.

There now said Bobbit, grandly. 'What do you think of this for a cheap hotel?'

Toe storm seemed all at once to bave ••topped, the great curve of tbe boiler shut it out on.y a dim, dull roar, like that of distant machinery, or fire, or

Gener'ly speaking, I can eat in the dark,' said Bobbit. 'but when it comes to company I can't.

Tbe fact was that Bobbit had just six matches and this little penny piuk candle put away under a corner of his hotel 'sofy,' on purpose for company. Nobody knows now (I wish that somebody did) how much company' Bobbit had entertained in bis hotel. •It doesn't burn not so long as might,' said Bobbit, with a jerk at tbe penny

bit pulled up an old hogshead-top against the open mouth of tbe boiler. Tbis made

warm, In tbe hotel. The little Irisb Ioys felt around with their hands, and fo md tbat there were dry leaves, salt uay, snd pieces of a worn-oat something—jacket, perhaps—underneath them.

Matress, bedclo'es, carpet, sofy, all to order aDd all to once, gentlemen,' said Bobbit. 'First-class furniture in my hotel. Hold on a spell till 1 torn on the gas.'

All in a minute a wonderful thing haopened. A little pink candle blazed up* and burned. It bad an old nut socket for a candles.ick it stood quite firm and sbone distinotly on tho beans and doughnuts.

Better fall to whileyou

can see the way to your mouth.' So they fell to,' and the Irish boys ate up tbe beans, to begin witb but Bobbit did not say anything about to-mor-row's dinner.

Got any names to you ?, said be, as they broke tbe last doughnut into three pieces, and ate it slowly, to make it last as long as tbe candle did,

Not many to tell on,' said the larger of the little guests, witb bis moutb lull. 'The woman as we run beggin'fur till she was took up for drink last summer, she called us Harumand Scarum, jest. I'm Harum, he's Scarum,'

I've heed worse names'n that, I'm sure,'said Bobbit, politely. By and by the doughnut wasall gone, and tbe candle loo. Bobbit blew out the last pink spark, and it grew" very dark in tbe hotel.

Kind o' chilly, too,' said the little landlord. 'Chiller'n common. Tbe storm must have r\r.. Sometimes it blows lu. Bat 'tain't often I oan'i keep 'most oumft'ble in my rear soot o' rooiAs.

Tula uigbt was growing quite cold enough t# emphasize. Bobbit was a little surprised it grew so cold. You see be was used to sleeping in the 'firstclass rooms,' over under the Jacket and tbe hay. Right here in the lips of the boiler it was icy and wet. The wind pulled in at tho cracks where the bogsbead top did not fit. It seemed as if the hotel wsre drawing in great breaths like an nnimal into its iron lungs. Tbe sleet, too, shot in little broadsides of it, cutting and cold. Bobbit's hands bled where it struck them but It was so dark that be did notjenow it. •The wind's the wrong way,' said Bobbit. 'My front door 'II be down afore morning. Heigho! Harum?'

Warm as toast,' said Bobbit. feeling of them. Wonder ef they could spare me tbe Jacket?'

But, after some thought,he concluded not to take tbe jacket. Tbe storm was screaming horribly overhead, this side, that side, all about, snd the wind still tbe wrong way. If the front door should go down, the Jacket would not be any too much for his little

But it was bitter oobi. Bobbit felt it all over. I should ha* liked tbe—jacket but I won't. No, I won't 1' said Bobbit. He put bis head down upon bis arm. The snow bad drifted in high and soft bis arm and bia b«*ad went down into it, like a cold cushion

I'll have a white pillar-case, at any any rate,* said Bobbit, slowly, wondering

YTby

he didn't Isugh at his own

joke. 'And I won't—no, I won't they was company. And such babies. Foiks as keeps hotels must put up— witb—onconveniences. It'ssnmetbin to hev a white—piilar-case of yer own.'

Xhe little hotel-keeper sunk lower and lower into his white pillow-case. Tbe hotel door gaped steadily. Ail the front entry filled with snow. There was so much snow that tbe boiler croaked and gaped no longer to the black night, instead, it gre.v duly white and warm, so tbe little lodgers in ibe best rooms thought, when tbey waxed eacn other up, once in tbe night, by trying to get tbeir four feet into one of the jacket sleeves.* Tbey called out to Bobbit but be lav quite still in the front entry and made no answer. So iey thought bow comfortable they were, and went to slc^p again.

Now, In tbe morning, there was a great noise inside the boiler, and outaide, too, for tbat matter. For Bobbit's hotel was drifted and drowned almost out of sight by tbe piling snow and Bobbit's little lodgers, when tbey fouud it out, whined and whooped till* a policeman,a butcher and two ahovels came to dig thein out.

Puppies,' said the policeman, letting sunlight la, froze up here over nigbt. A batch of pup—hol-loo!'

For bis shovel struck hard on something, and It was no puppy. It was the little hotel-keeper, on bis white pil-low-case, asleep and cold—so sound asleep and so cold tb neither tbe policeman nor Harum nor Scarum could wake him, though they tried tbeir best for an hour. •Hegive them other youngs uns tbe warmth of tbe whole freezing concern 1' said the policemen, talking very last. That's what I call g-r-l-t I'

Harum and Scarum called it a great pity. They did not know wbat else to call It.

A norful pity said Haruuijiis they were marched off to tbe Little Wanderers' Home. 'Where's he gone to?' whispered Scarum.

Purrgetorry, mabbe,' suggested Harum. Will he keep hotel In Purrgetorry?' asked Scarum, alter a little very stupid tbongbt.

It's tbe praste as knows. I don't,' said Harum. Now Scarum was thinking a very curious thing. If he keeps hotel in Purrgetorry,' said Scarum to himself, I hope they'll give bim three cumf't'bles and coald beans every day,jist.' But be did not think of it long enough to say it and be wouldn't have known how to say it, if be had. Besides, tbat is the end of tbe story.—[From Trotty's Wedding Tour.

Onr Chromo.

For some months we have contemplated adopting the plan or many of the leading eastern magazines and papers of giviug chromos to mail subscribers. Tbe announcement has oeen delayed until this time for the reason that we could not get a chrumoof such merit as would be-satisfac-tory. it gratifies ns to announce that we have at last succeeded, beyond our expectations. By a lucky hit we succeeded iu making an arrangement with a New York religious weekly, by which the Joint use ot the chromo Good Morning is secured. It Is bright and new, and is peculiarly attractive. Upon this page we give a wood cut representation of it. But what, do our best, can we show by one impresslou? wbile hechromo bas the advantage of sixteen impressions and as many different shades of color. On this wood cut we print 1,000 copies In a single hour, it requires two months' time to get out an edition of the same number oi Chromos. Wonderful as it may appear, this chromo, which any dealer will tell you Is orth *4, is GIVEN to every yearly subscriber to the Saturday Evening Mail. And the Mall costs only 82 a year.

Now is the Time!

The long winter evenings are at hand, and the people waht a good newspaper to read. The {Saturday Evening Moll takes on sight, and should be In every home. We want live, reliable, permanent agents—men and women—In every town, village and neighborhood. Good wages can be mad* by any active person. Our chromo, Good Morning," given to subscribers, is acknow ledged to bo the finest ever offered by anj paper In the country. Send il.OOlor sumplt chromo and agent's outfit.

How Chromo8&re Made.

Sow are chromos made? This question is frequently asked. Chromos ore produced by lithography, a process Invented by

ALOIS SESKFEI.1KU, OP MUNICH, toward the end of tbe last century. Lithography is tbe art of printing from stone. The most obvious difference between lithography and other modes of printing lies in the fact that it employs a perfectly smooth surface, while wood-cut and type printing is done trom lines raised above the surface steel engraving on the contrary, from lines sunk into the surface. The possibility of printing a design from a smooth surface, which at first sight would appe-ar impossible, is obtained by treating tbe stone (a peculiar carbonate of lime) with various chemical agents, which tend to make those parts of the stone bearing the design susceptible to printer's ink, while the parts bearing no design will reject it.

CHK0*0-I.tTH0aBAPHY

is simply tbe art of printing from stone in colors. But still tbe art is not simple. To reproduce a good painting is a work entailing no small amount of labor, skliland outlay for the colors cannot be printed all at once, but must be laid on one by one, now overlaying and mixing with each other, now heightening each other by contrast and in tbe end all combining to form on* grand and harmonious whole. When consider that the best of these publication must pass through the press twenty, thirtj or.

EVEN FOKTT TIJIKS,

each Impresslou adding anew color, prlnl ed from a separate stone, especially drawn by tbe artist for the purpose, and that it takes from twe to twelve months of unremitting labor to bring oat a first edition, w* shall, perhaps, be willing to allow tbat lb« art Is not so simple after all. From a philosophical point of view, tbe great valu« of chromo-lithograpby Is to be found in the fact tbat it Cheapens good art. It has been called the "NIOIOCKACY or

and Justly so. In these days of high prices of paintings, it is a comfort for the well-ed-ucated, bat slender of pom, to be able to decorate their walls with seeh close and conscientious reproductions. Badly executed print*, gnadlly colored by hand,which formerly pained the sight at every torn, have almost been driven oat of existence by chromo-lithograpby and while tbe leading new*papei were formerly content wKb offering to th^ir subscribers Uw cbeapes engravings ti market aflbnled, tbey no* vie with es» other to supply good eopteset good painting*, a f*at which Uie ebion atone baa enabled them to accomplish, is by tbis invention that wears permltta*
