in '_Wall::stréet. . At.noou,. Alice was ~ in
-Wall street,‘ ‘too. _Spri'i_ig'Viug-_ lightly from
the carriage, she tripped up "stairs, and
waVs__at’ Mr. Dui'and’s= desk just as‘ a young
female turned from-it to go out. Having’
received the six hundred, dollars,- Alice
left immediately, and was soon at Smitli’s
bazar chatting gayly, with a young friend
whom she met there.. ‘ Both ’ were look-
ing at the handsome cape and mail which
"Mrs. .Durancl_ had ‘fixed. _.upon for, her,
daughter the day before. They were
"beautiful indeed, and the young ' ladies
having exhausted theusual vocabulary of
Zepithets in praising them turned "to look at
-others. Just then a hallow, .suppreVssed
scough close ‘by her, caused Aliceto turn,
asa young girl passed on her way to the
-sewing room. 'l‘hither, too, she went, a
few moments after to see if a dress she
-had making there was finished.‘ The su-
»perinten_dent of Vwork had it in her hand,
and was reprimanding some one for, com-
ing so late. ’ ; _' ’
,~“ I am sorry to disappoint you, ‘Miss

you must work fast, and make up for lost
time.” . 1 l -
I .As_tlie sewing-girl took. the garment
she coughed again. Oh, that disimal
sound i It touched the heart of Alice,
for she recognized in Jane Lester, the
one that passed her-in theolfice and show
room-. She looked at her a moment and
‘thought, is it by the labor of such as she
that my parents are paid, andI obtained
money to lavish on costly clothes?- She
went up to the girl, who by this time
was diligently at work, and said, in kind
low tone ; - »
“ Don’t hurry at all ,-_I’m not in. the»
least need of the dress.” . , V
’ “Thank you, ma’am, but I will soon
‘have it done ; if I‘ am not at work on
this, it will be on something else."
“But why do you..work. at all ?: With‘
that cough you ought not ,to- come out
in such weather as this.” _ » i
“ What would become of us—-of father,
I mean, and the children’-—if I were idle Y”
“ Do youhave to support them?” ask-
ed Alice, with__eager, cui-ios_ity,. -, _ :-
; ' -.“ Not when father is well, but he has
been sick all winter, and I paid out the
last of his savings this morning ;, so_I,
must try and earn morethau »ever.”—-"
Again that cough. . 1
"‘ Well, if that is the case you must
consult a doctor, and _do, someting for
yourself, or you will soon be unable to
work» atall.” ' — ‘
Jane shook .her head. sadly. “No,
indeed, we cannot afford to have a doctor
for father, and I could not think of such
a thing for myself.” . . « - 1
There was a moment’s pause-then
Alice spoke, . . 9
“. Give me your address and I will send
a. kind physician there who will not
charge you anything. But he must per-
scribe for both, and you ‘must. follow his
directions.” -
. “ Never mind me, Miss, ~1’m not so bad
as you think,_and shall be better _in a
little while. I cough more. than usual
this morning, from having walked so fast.
Miss Durand returned to the ‘store
more thoughtful than when she entered
it. She did not get near the five hun-
dred dollarfurs, but took a set at one-
fifth of that price, and departed——leaviug
her sudden change of taste. —
‘Great was the indignation of her fash-
ionable mother, when she learned ‘the re-
sult of her daughters‘ shopping.
“Why, thatis not the set I chose?”
said she, -when. the boxes were opened.
“ I know it, mother, but I preferred
these.”
“You have a strange taste, I must
confess. V Anybody can get stone mar-
ten.” - ' ~ ' I
“Then I,shall still be a la. mode.” re-
plied her daughter with a smile.
“ Yes, with the vulgar hcrd,”. said the
lady, scornfully. - . '
’ "‘ They are pretty, equally comfortable,‘
and did not cost- near as much as the
sable,” answered Alice, in exteiluation.—
But the mother wasnot mollified.
"‘ What-had you to do with the cost ?
Didn’t yourfatber give you enough to pay
for the others?” . ‘ .
“ Yes, ma’am, and more t0Q”
-' Howifllara Morgan will laugh when
she sees theseiold fashioned things i And

. “ I care not for that, and shall enjoy
minenone the less for seeing her with
more costly. ones.” ' . ~ _
To avoid further .remonstrances, Alice
retired,t.o' the library, and addressed a
note to Dr. Weston, the family physician.
She beg'gc_d‘liim to call that -GVVGFIWE‘ 9"

A
' she set” out immediately for the residence
‘of Mr. Lester. Something told her that
she-wouldfind Jane at home; and sure
enough, she had‘ become so much worse
that it was impossible for her to leave
the house, yet she was trying to ‘sew,
that the family might not starve.‘ ‘ The
doctor had. found Jane and her father
extremely ill ; but as they were in scam-
fortable house, barely furnished =witll
necessaries, it is true, for not a superflu-
ous article was there, he feared.to. wound
theirgpride by offering more than his pro-
fessional services. It is needless to say
he returned the money sent by Alice, on
the first opportunity. Alice, to whom"
the contrast between her own luxurious
home and the cheerless apartment she
was in, suggested real poverty, which the
feeble efforts of Jane to continue at work
confirmed, ‘felt that something more was
needed. .- . W » '*
“This, surely, is disobedience to the
doctor’s orders,” she said, gently» taking
,the_.work from thetinvalid. .- -
, f‘,_Now. you must not-plead necessity,”
she continued, “for here is a reply inad-
vance to that argument,” and she slipped
her purse into ._Iane’s- trembling hand.‘
No word of. thanks fell from - the poor
gi_rl’s quivering.lips,_ for .the generous -aid
so d_elicately_ given ;. but her glistening
eyes’ and silent pressure of the hand that
bestowed it, told her gratitude. -
Many visits, after this, did the child of
luxury and wealth make to the dwelling
of the sick girl, whom neither her Vloving
care nor physician’s_ skill" could save.-
Gradually shc paled away, very gradual-
failed, ‘but her heart grew
stronger all t e while—strong to endure
'to earth-—-strong tolmeet the terrors’ of
death, so near. ' Her father was recover-
ing, so the meek daughter was' resigi'iecl,«
since. the little ones would have him to
provide for them.
Alice was -returning home from visiting
the Lester family, one day, and had just
emerged from the cross street into Broad-
sed, filled with ladies and gentlemen of
her acquaintance. She .did not observe
them, but Clara Morgan caught sight of
her, and said to a young inan near by
her‘side— ’ V _
“ Well, if there isu’t Alice Durand
coming out of Ann street, and on foot
too l What in the world can she be do-
ing there?” ' ' ' _ '
' “ Not visiting any of her friends, I im-V
agine,” said Mr. Benton: '
“There is no knowing ; she takes very
curious freaks sometimes. Only think of
her purchasing a set of cheap furs, when,“
to my certain knowledge her mother
wanted to have some like -mine.”
“She certainly could afi'ord the most
fashionable and expensive.”
“Of course, and that’s what makes it
appear so strange.”
‘ “ It seemed somewhat strange to.
‘George Benton, too, for he had heard.
the circumstances of the purchase from
his, sister, who was with -‘Alice at the
time’; but still he believed that she must
have had good motives for the act—Miss
So,
Ann street, where only poor people live.
That is fact numbei'v2,” and he began to
make deductitious, yet reserved the final
inference‘ to be drawn from further prem-
ises. Factnumber 3 was furnished not
long after. It was on this wise. He
was at a
girge party, and searching
through the crowded rooms for Alice,’
whom .he presumed to be there, his atten-
tion was arrested by the conversation of
two young ladies. V .
. “ Yes, Bell, it is, as you say, a beauti-
ful dress; You know that elegant em-
broidered robe of Alice Durand’s? Well,
I determined to have one like it, "but the
only person I know of who does that
kind of work had to get sick just as I
wanted her.” .
“ How provoking ! That’s alwa.ys the
way with these needle women ; they
think nothing of disappointing us. I
would never employed her agaiu.~.if I
were you.” .. .
“ Nor shall I ; Jane Lester has done
her last work for me,” said the speaker,-
no other than Clara Morgan.
“Yes, ‘Miss Lester has done her last
work of that kind. You are quite right
— Miss Clara.” »
They both started—-it was Dr. Weston
who spoke ; he had heard their heartless
remarks, and there was unusual serious-
ness in his tone .
“ Why, who‘ do you know of her ?”
asked one of them, «
“ That she is very ill,.and will not- re-
cover. Indeed,.I think . she would have
been in her grave before now, but for the
kindest of care.” '
“ I anrglad she is so fortunate,” said
Miss Morgan with a sense of relief. “ It
is not every one in her situation that can
afford a good nurse.” - —
“Nor could she, but for the goodness
of one in similar circumstances to yours.”
“ Indeed l but you do not mean that any
one of our circle is exercising such uncalled
for condescension ?”
I do mean that tyre is one young lady
of my acquaintance of‘ “ our circle,” that
can“ both devise and perform generous
deeds, however lowly the object.” ,
“ Of whom are you speaking, doctor?”
now inquired Mr. Benton, who had been
an observant listener.
“ I must mention no names,” replied
‘Dr. Weston with a smile. “ She would
not thank-me for making public her pri-
vate charities.” ' _
“ Yet you have actually done it, said
‘one of the young ladies.
“I have commended the action with-
out giving to the actor a notoriety she
would shun”; and let me .add, my dear
girls, her .cong:luct is worthy of i‘mmita-
tion.” .V_ _
“ It’s plain to be seen some one is to
becunonized as a “saint” or “sister of
mercy,” to say the least,” said Clara, as
"soon as the doctor. passed on.
: “ It must be Alice,” mused George
Benton. “ I know of none other to whom
Dr. Weston’s words can apply, and I half
suspect it is some charitable mission that
keeps her from here to night.”
It was a spring morning in April, June
Léster’s‘couch had been drawn to the
window, that she might share in the
sweet influence of that glorious moiniug.
She lay there, calmly thinking of the
the sundering of sweet ties that bound her '

To her kind inquiries how she had pas-
ed the night, and how she felt -this morn-
ing, Jane replied : A V
“ Oh_. comfortably-V—‘quite comfortably ;
much pain, but patience to bear it‘; lit-
tle sleep, but many pleasant thoughts.”
-. .“ I have brought you the first spring
flowers from our garden. Are they not
beautiful?” * , ' _
“They are, indeed, Ithank you for
them, and oh, much more, for the flowers
of peace and hope. with which your kind-
ness has cheered my pathway.”
“ Think not of '_tIlt'l.l},-, dear girl,” said
Alice, with muchfeeling ; “I have been
far happier for the little I have done than
it could possibly render you.”
“ I will tax your kindness with but one
more request ; it is that your father will
permit us to remain in this house until I
am gone. You know that next week we
sho_uld.move as father must take a small-
er dwelling now.” ,
“ That is" all "arranged ;-, -he will not
move all, but stay here free, ~from‘: rent ;-
and I will come sometimes to see the
children. ‘They shall not'want.” .. .

pocket the little Bible, whose, precious .
"contents had long been the sewing girl’s

“.Is there any particular chapter you

her those exhulting words with such an‘

FREEDOM son rue CHILDREN.-'—The fol-
lowing sensible and much. needed’ para-
graph is from Blackwood’s Magazine ‘:
A“ child of three years of age, with a
book in" its"infant‘ hands, is a- fearful
sight ! A It is too often the death-warrant,
which the condemned stupidity looks 'at—-
fatal, yet beyond his comprehension_.-V-4
What should a child three years old be
taught ? Strong meats for weak digestion
make not bodily strength. Let there be
nursery ryhmes told them. I would say
to every parent especiallyevery mother,
sing to your cliiclren ; tell them pleasant
stories ; and if in the country, be _not_ too
careful least they get a little dirt upon
their hands and "clothes; earth is very,
much akin to us all, and in children’s out-
of-door play, soils them not inwardly.-
There is in it a. kind of ponsangunity be-
tween all creatures ; by it we touch upon
commousympathy of our first substance,
and beget a kindness for our poor relation
the brutes. Let children have a free,
open-air sport, and fear not though they
make acquaintances with the pigs, the
doukeys,- and the chickens—thcy may form
worse friendship with ‘the wiser-looking
ones; encourage a. -familiarity with all
who love, to court them—dumb animals.
love children, and children love them.--.
There is a language among them which
the world’s language obliterates in the
elders. It is of more importance that
you should make your children loving,
than that you should make them wise,
that is, book wise. Above all things,
make them loving; then they will be
gentle and obedient; and then, also par-
ents, if you become old and poor these ‘
will be better than friends that will never
neglect you. Children brought up lov-
ingly at your knees, will never shut their
doors upon you and point where they
would have you go. ‘»

Gor A Coiir.iss.~—Thc_v manage matters
and things rather queerly up North.————
During a heavy snow storm, 9. party of
ladies and gentlemed started from Pot-
tersville, Essex C0,, to the village of
Scliro,on, a distance of nine miles, across
Schroon Lake. They started in an old-
tasliioned sleigh’ with an old fashioned .
driver, and after an old-fashioned ride of
three hours, pulled up as they supposed
in the village of Scliroon. Instead of
that they had driven around in a circle,
and after traveling some twelve miles,
found themselves back in Pottersville.—
They warmed up at Pottersville, taking; .
something hot that “ buoyed up a piece
of lemon peel,” and again started _for
Schroon. To make things all right this
time, one of the party borrowed 9. Com-
pass-and actually ‘did the whole distance
according to the rules- laid down in “Bow-
ditch’s Navigator.” The new idea. was
crowned with complete success. The
driver steered the horses, and the compass
steered the driver. After a delightful
drive of four and a half hours the party
arrived at Schroou, with six frozen ears,
four illuminated noses, and a pair of hors-
es that could not have gone another mile
to have saved the country.
