"Lawes-a mHssy, Joel don't it look nioe in there?" "Yes but it's awful oold out here. Injun summer they cal this timeo' year, but I don't see no summer 'bout it. Did yor ever know such a wind?"

Ain't it summer in there, though »ee the big fire they got. Do yer s'pose them folks in there isever cold like we? I'm very cold, Joe," he added, mournfully, as the chill November blast swept round tho corner from the Avenue, and tho biting dampness made its way through his scanty clothing.

So Joe swung himself off the stoop, and littlo Jetnui'y, left all alone, strained bis eves more wistfully than ever to catcli the gleam of tho fite that warmed Miss Maud Congdon's elegant breakfast room.

Ilonnie,beautiful Maud! What would envious lictle Jemmy have thought if he could have seen the lovely mistress of that wonderful great bouse, with all its stately prandeur and luxurious ele trance, as she lay, not fifty yards away trom him—only a street and a massive stono wall separating them—her sunny head buried in tho soft blue cushions of her eha'.r. crying and sobbing witli a passionate pense of pain and misery beyond tho

reaeli

of reason to CTiitrol?

'•Auntie! auntie!" she called out, as her gentle friend and relativo entered the room.

My child, what is the matter? Hive you seen Howard again The only answer was a low moaning cry, as the sobbing girl wound her arms round her faithful friends, ana buried her face in the gentle bosom that had shekered her so often.

Where did vou meet him Last night,"at Mrs. Stevens's, where we went alter the opera, llo only came in for a moment. I was danciugatthe time. lie {rave me one look as passed him, but there was something in his eyes so kind and gentle that all m.v old love for him came back with redoubled powe-, and such a sense of misery poured itself upon my soul that I wondered why God so formed His creatures that they can endure such torture and still live. Oh, auntie! did he ever love

No, darling, I do not think he ever did. He certainly admired you—as who does no*?—and circumstances threw you much together but what has Howard L^ngly, the hard working clergyman, whose parish is in the poorest por tion of the city, whose life is spent among the poor and suffering, listening to their complaints and ministering to their necessities, to do with Maud Congdon, whose talent, wealth, and beauty place her in a position with which liia life of eare and toil.and sacrifice can have neither contact norsympathv?"

And yet,auntie, I would fling houses, lands, and jewels to the winds if so doing I could secure one glance of 1 ive and tenderness from Howard's eye», such as I fancied be used to give me during the happv days gone by."

But, Maud," continued the gentle lady, "with all this passionate love for your cousin, with all this wild longing for affection from him, what have you ever done to show Howard that you sympathized with bis efforts or understood his lauors? You have never attended his church or offered to assist him in his work—" "Oh, auntie, stop! My monsy has been bis to distribute as he liked, but I can not stoop to tricks and artifiee to win his lovo. Would y.ou have me emulate the admiring spinsters of his congregation, undertake district visiting, seek interviews with him in his vestry room, follow hit* about among the poor, and surfeit him with a makish sentimentality nnder the cloak of charity and relig ion Ob, no, no I can not do that. But how can I live without him?"

Oh, Maud, how wrong, how wicked you are! How little yo« understand Ufe, with all its fesponslbilities, its demands for patience, self-sacrifice, and unselfishness! Can you never learn to look beyond yourself, to shake off this terrible egotism that pervades your whole existence, and in endeavoring to understand and ameliorate the woes of others, find a medicine for your own Lift up your head now, darling, and look out of the window. Do yoa see that poor little shivering boy who is shrinking behind the shelter of that opposlto door post, and looking so wistfully over her?? Let uscill biin in, and listen to hi* story, and try to help him. It is what Howard would do."

Well, Maud, have him washed. Jem tnv, woald you like to be washed I'd ruther not," said Jemmy, with a frightened look.

Why not, you dirty boy?" "We isn't nsed to it, yer see, down wliero I lives. They does it to us sometimes at the 'House of Industry.' They killed a little feller that way last week down there. It's werry cold, bein' washed, and it'sso nice here!" and the tears began to roll down Jemmy's cheeks. The prospect of being washed appalled bis very soul: but when he looked at bis dirty hands and soiled clothing, and at Maud's sweet countenance as it bent aver bim, he reconsidered the matter, and said, "if I'll bo washed, will you kiss me?"

Yes, Indeed, Jemmy," replied Maud "and we will have no oold water either. Would you like to be my little boy, you poor little thing?"

Maud's heart waa melting toward Jemmy very fast, and when ahe saw the radiant expression that illuminated his face at her suggestion, she forgot her weariness, pain, and passian for the moment in the happiness of the friendless little boy.

May I, missus—really—really Poor little Jemmy could hardly bring himself to believe that any thing so wonderful oould really happen.

Really and truly." repeated Maud, smiling down npn bim. "And if vou will go now and be washed, I will go home with you and ask If I may have you. Who owns you, Jemmy

"Only mar, and she's got six of us."

Ana can spare one easily," laughed Mjiud. An hour afterward Jemmy and Maud made tbeir way down Broad way .through Worth Street to Baxter. Ob, tue nauseous smells, the sickening sights and sounds, and loathsome horror, of the place! Jemmy led her into one of the rickety old tenements, and in the highest story she found a wretched family Saddled together in one room, and a haggard, sickly woman came forward, whom Jemmy called "mar." The bargain was soon concluded, the hopeless mother only too glad to accept the lclndniBFs offered to her child, for whom she could do so li'tle.

As Maud turned away and commenced the descent of the dingy staircase, a tall figure in closely fitting clerical uniform blocked tho way, and looking up, she saw the strong, quiet features and beautiful eyes of Howard Langly.

Maud, what brought you here?" Please, Sur, she came to git me, and I'm her little boy," explained Jemmy, who dreaded something might interfere with Maud's arrangements regarding his small self. "Jemmy has told you, Howard. I am proposing to subtract this small fraction from the greatsnm of human wretchedness," and she laid her hand gently on the head of the boy. "Rut wh*t brings you to this part of "this citv Your parish on the west side of the town.

Yes, but I was sent for this mornitm by a poor creature here whom I knew formerlv.

He is lying sick in the room

above us, wretched, suffering, and alone. It will be a hard winter for the poor so many are out of employment, and early as it

is,

the weather is bitterly cold. We

shall

have a hard struggle to combat the wretchedness and disease that oold and hunger bring in their train, and great efforts must be made to bring assistance to the poor creatures."

Could I help you, Howard Do you really wish to?" And an eager, questioning look came into his eyes, accompanied with a glance of admiration such as he had never bestowed upon her before.

I will try, ifyou will tell me how." Was it kindness to that poor boy that brought you to Baxter Street to-day Maud

Yes, Howard," smiled Maud "it was affection for Jemmy, pure and sim pie, that sprang into existence upon an acquaintance of half an hour, which madQ me forsake the sacred precints of the Avenue and co 'ae to Baxter Street to-day. Have I your approval, most reverend Sir."

God ble 38 you, dear 1" What a wealth of tenderness went into those four words! Then, with a single clasp of the hand, he stepped aside to let her pass, and Maud went on, with Jemmy clinging to her skirts. What had happened to Baxter Street? Whence had come the light that lit up the loathsome tenement until it shone like a palace? what made the filthy sidewalk seem a path through fair land and whence oame the glory that glided the horrible surroundings with such a strange and wonderful beauty? Only Maud saw the illumination, and she thought it came from the ligkt in Howard Langly's eyes.

Thus Jemmy went to liveiu the Fifth Avenue with Maud, whom he worshipped with all the strength of bis grateful little heart. He had a coat now full of bright buttons, like that of the wonderful Jeems, Joe used to tell bim about. His principal duty was to open the great doors of the vestibule for the entrance of Miss Congdon's guest. And the one who sought admission oftenest and received the warmest welcome was the Itev. Howard Langly.

Maud's first expedition to Baxter Street was not her last. The barriers of indolence and selfishness that inclosed her heart had been shaken bytheappealing touch of Jemmy's little hand, and melted away altogether through the ennobling influence of Howard's grave and earnest teaching.

More and more chilly grew the search ing winds, coming steadily from the north louder were heard the sad stories of privation and suffering among the poor and cold and grim and bitter, the winter settled down upon the city. Faithfully and earnestly Howard worked day by day, endeavoring to alleviate, so far as lay in his power, the misery he saw around him and Maad shook herself free of the many claims that society made upon her, to follow, bim in his wanderings and assist bim in his arduous work. Side by sido they breasted cold and sleet and snow to carry comfort and consolation to the wretched homes where disease and destitution were holding their horrid carnival. Together they set themes

Ives to work to arrest the

progress of the war of destruction waged against their helpless fellow beings by starvation and sickness, stalking together hand in hand. Many a hungry mouth tliey fed, many a shivering form they clothed, and many a bitter and despairing heart they cneered and comforted. But to Maud and Howard it seemed as it little had been accomplished by their earnest efforts in comparison with all there was to do, and their hearts were often heavy with the thought when thev returned to tbeir homes in the gray twilight, weary with their day's work.

When Mand reached her house at evening nfter her visits among her poor friends, Jemmy was always waiting at tho door ready to receive her, full of eager questions and overwhelming in his loving attentions. Then he would follow her to her room, and alter convincing himself that she had everything abont her that could contribute to her comfort, would creep quietly down stairs and wait patiently for her to appear. "Jemmy,you little fire-worshipper," exclaimed' Maud one evening, as, rested and refreshed by a bath and a fresh toilet, she entered the drawing room snd found the child standing upon the hearth gazing earnestly into the depths of the brilliant fire. "What are you thinking about?"

Thinking how nice and warm and comfortable it is here, and bow dreadful it used to be out in the streets all alone in the cold and Jemmy shuddered at the recollection of his old sorrowful life, and the tears came tnto his eyes. "Ob, Miss Maud, you are so good to me, ana I lovo you so J"

Then he came close to where she stood and softly kissed the hand that bung at her side on a level with his lips.

Dear little Jemmy! Have I made you happy, little boy, since I have had you with me?" And she knelt down beside him and drew him tenderly to her breast.

Thus Howard found them, locked in each other's arms, with tho dusky shadows of twilight gathering around, and the ruddy firelight gleaming their happy flftces.

Tenderly he bent over them, and gently rasing Maud, transferred the clinging hold of her yielding hands from the neck of the boy to his own broad shoulders.

Will you give her to me, Jemmy No," said Jemmy, stoutly and as Howard led her to a sofa and seated her by his side, the boy followed them, and buried bis hesd in her lap. "Ualfofber, then, Jemmy?" smiled Howard. *.

Y-e-J, hslf— perhaps," said Jemmy, his regard for Howard struggling hard with jealooay in his generous little soul.

And thus, with Jemmy's armsaronnd her neck and Howard's round her waist, Maud sat, subduOd and silent with the sense of her own exquisite happiness, until Jeems the mag»iiti«iit, in all the glory of holiday attire and preternaturally shiny boot legs, broke in upon tle quiet soene, and anno meed, in his rnoet solemn tone, "Dinner!"

Oh, horror shrieked Mrs. Grundy —"onlv the assistant at St. Jerome's."

A desire for heayen is very far from hungering and thirsting after righteous ness, or may be.

SUCCESS

Test of Merit.

The great auccess of Vegetine in curing such diseases as Scrofula, inherited in tlie blood, together with the increasing demand of the medicine, is conclusive evidence of its actual merit. Mo medicine was ever placed before the public with so much positive proof of its real value as the VEGETINE, which has cured manv cases of Scrofula of five, ten and twenty years standing, where the patient has had many physicians, tried many of the known remedies and, after trying the VEGETINE, the common remark is,

It acts differently, works differently, from any medicine 1 have ever taken." VEGETINE will cleanse Scrofula fromthe system. Try it.

Unprecedented Merit. BOSTON, Jnn. 1st, IB16. H. R. STEVENS, Esq.—Dear Sir: For many years I have been artiicted with A humor in tlie blood which finally developed into Scald Head, and only those who are similarly afflicted can realize the disagreeable suffering one is compelled to endure with this complaint. For a long

time my head was in a dreadful conditiou. I used various kinds of remedies and medicines, some of which was especially prepared for me. I got no better,—inde d, constantly grew worse, the surface of my head being entirely covered with sores of the most aggravated nature, litis was my condition when 1 commenced taking the VEGETINE. which lam pleased to inform you and the public (if you choose to make it public), has made a complete and satisfactory cure of my disease and 1 shall always deem it a great pleasure to mention the unprecedented merit of VEOETINE. 1 remain, very thankfully,

OHAKLES K. SMITH.

338 Fourth street,South Boston.

All Diseases of the Blood. If ^VEOETINE will relieve pain,cleanse, purify and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying different physicians, many remedies,suflferingror years,is it not conclusive proof,if you are a sufferer,

you can be

cured? Why is this medicine performing such great cures? It works in tlie blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER. The urent source of diseaso originates in the blood ami 110 medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention.

Seventy-one Years of Age. EAST MAKSHFIELD, Aug. 1870. MR. STEVENS,—Dear Sir: I am sventy-one years of age have suffered mauy years with Kidney Coinplaiut, weakness in my back and stomach. I was induced by friends to try your VEOETINE, and 1 think it is the best medfeiue for weakness of the kiduevs I ever used. 1

have tried many remediee for this complaint, aud never found so much relief as from tho VEGETINE. It strengthens and invigorates tlie whole system. Many of my acquaintances havo

MB. H. R. STE*'ENS,—Dear Sir: I will most cheerfully add my testimony to the great number you have already received In favor of your great and good medicine, VEOETINE, for I do not think enough can be said in its praise, for I was troubled over 30 years with that dreadful disease, Catarrh, and had such bad coughing spells that it would seem as though I never could breath any more, and VEGETIXE has cured me,and I uo feel to thank God all tho time that there Is so good a medicine as VKGETINE, and I also tliink it one of tho best medicines for coughs and weak, sinking feelings at the stomach, and advise everybody lo take tbo VEGETINE, for I can assure them It la ono of, the best medicines that ever was.
