Come stand by my knee, little children:
Too'wcary for laughter or song;
The sports of the daylight are over,
And evening is creeping along ;
The snow-fields are white in the moonlight
The winds of winter are chill,
Brit under the sheltering roof-tree
The fire sliinetli rilddy and still.
You sit by the fire. little children,
Your checks are ruddy and warm ;
Brit out in the cold of the winter
Is many a shivering form.
There are mothers that wander for shelter,
Aird babes that are pining for bread ;
O lthuiik the dear Lord, little children.
From whose telider hand you are fed.
Come look in my eyes, little children,
And tell me. through all the long day.
Have you thought-of the father abovcus.
Who guarded from evil your way;
He lieaiclh the cry of the sparrow,
And curetli for great and for small ;
In life aiidiii death, little children,
Ills love is the the truest of all.
Now go to your rest, little children,
And over your innocent sleep,
Unseen by your vision. the angels
Their watchthrougli the darkness shall keep.
Then pray that the Shepherd, who guideilr
The lambs that he lovetli so well.
May lead you, in life’s rosy morning,
Beside the still writers to dwell.

Almost a Heroine;
BY AMY BANDOI’H.
“Now, Kitty, be sure the pudding goes
over to boil at four o’clock, and keep an eye
to the roast meat, for the Deacon don't like
it burned." 0
“Yes, ma’am, I'll be sure and remember,"
said Kitty Clifford, courtcscying prettllv.
“And Kate," said Deacon Osprey, “Don’t
let stragglers in, whatever you do, for there’s
that five hundred dollars in gold in the
back bed room chest, and all the silver
spoons."
"I will be very careful, sir," said Kitty.
“Kitty 1 Kitty 1 Come here and tie my
cruvat,’ said Silas Osprey, who was fidgct-
lug before the mirror.
So Kitty stood up on a footstool, bluslriug
and smiling, to tie Mr. Silas’s cravat for
meeting.
"I wish you were going with us, Kitty,"
said the young man. with his chin elevated
stiflly in the air. “Next Sunday I’ll take
1. ’ .
“Oh, that will be nice. "said Kitty, growing
pinkcr and pinker, as her slender fingers
pulled out the bow, and adjusted the ends.
“Will that do, Mr. Silas ?” .
And Mrs. Osprey, who had followed her
husband out to the solid looking old lumber
wagon, gave a. meaning, backward, glance.
“I think Silas is getting fond of our Kit-
ty,” said the mother sagely.
“Is ire ?" said the Deacon. with a disturb-
ed face. "But, wife. how little we know
about her, except since the day since she
came here with her little bundle under her
arm asking for service.” ‘
“Yes, that's very true," said Mrs. Osprey;
“but she's pretty and smart, and I know she
is good. and—"
“Silas i Silas l —are you going to stand
there all day ?" called out the father, and so
they drove away, with Kitty standing at
the lone] y farm-house door,lier silken blown
curls blown about in the dismal November
wind, and her blue eyes sparkling beneath
their prettily arched brows.
She went back into the house, singing
softly under her breath. to prepare things
lbr the tea-dinner which the hungry church
goers would expect when they returned—a
brisk, neathanded little Phyllis, whose step
was scarce heavier on the pine floor than a
falling leaf woull have been.
She had puttbe pudding on to boil as the
kitchen clock chimed four, and ran down
into the cellar to get the vegetables from
their bins. She was gone but a minute or
two, but when she returned, the door load-
ing tip stairs, which she had left closed,
stood wide open, and on the lower stair a
muddy footprint was distinctly imprinted.
Kitty’s heart stood still with undefined
terror, as she remembered the bag of twcii-
ty dollar gold pieces in the big buck cham-
ber chest.
And while she stood there, holding on to
the table for support, she could hear con-
fused footsteps up stairs; and the murmur of
deep voices.
Then there was more than one. Kitty’s
first instinct—that of defending her master’s
treasures to the last were it with her life—
guve way to more practical considerations.
She thought of flying out into the road and
crying aldud for help, but then she remem-
bered, with a pang of despair, how lonely
.was the desolate hillside, with the nearest
dwelling full 11 mile distant.
"What can I do ? Oh what can I do ‘3"
thought Kitty, claspiug both hands over her
throbbing forehead.
But while her thoughts ran all in a whirl
and her heart beat tempestuously, the foot-
steps neared the stairway, the unwelcome
guests Were once more coming down. In-
stinctively Kitty shrank behind the jagged
brick projections of the old chimney.
Two stout-built” short men, dressed in
coarse gray, slouched down iqu the kitchen,
with the easy confidence of those who imag~
iue themselves entirely without witnesses.
Kitty had never seen them before, yet they
seemed quite“postcd" as to the various rooms
in the struggling farm house.
“Come on. J lm, we’ve got all we’re likely
to get in this confounded old shanty,” said
one. balancing his foot on one of the iron
dogs, “and besides the folks will be home
presently. ~
“Sandy Bill afraid l"jeeriugly called out
the other, who was opening and slruttiug the
various cupboards and drawers about the
apartment. greedily eyeing their contents.
“Hallo ! here’s some silver spoons.”
‘fStow 'em away and let's be moving,"
said Bill. “Contouud this bag! it jingles
like a string o‘slciglr bells.
“Well, come then,” said the other discou-
tentedly. “I opine that five hundred aint a
had day's work ; but somehow I thought.
from the looks of the crib, there might be
some old silver or some such grubbings."
And they loungod out, side by side, with a
cool deliberation that was almost appalling
to the trembling girl who lurked in the Mind.
, ow of the jagged brickwork.
But Kitty Clifford’s mind had been at
‘work while she stood there; her resolution
was taken. Hurriedlv tying it shawl around
lierhead and shoulders, she sprung out of
the house by the back way, and hastened
through a lonely piece. of woods which
formed a short cut to the road they must
presently emerge Iipou.
“They would be hidden away somewhere
long before I could summon help," thought
Killy. “No—whatever is done I must do
myself."
On either side the road was shut in by
stunted cedar bushes, mingled with the clev-
er growth oi the gleaming silvenbirch, and
Kitty knew she could keep in sight of them
unaten.
"If they should see me i If they should,
suspect my errand," thought poor Kilt ,
withtlirillsof cold terror. “Ohl igwould
helrard to be murdered in these olrt; y
woods ; to have my master think I stole I re
gold—and Mr. Silas——"
While these thoughts passed through her
ruled, the 'ring of coming footsteps echoed on
the frozen ground. Kitty’s conjecture had
proved correct—they had taken the Hill
road.
Onward, steadily onward, they pushed,
Kitty contriving to keep as irly parallel with
tliciu, though she had to fight her way
through matted vines and ilioriiy bushes.—
Fortuuatcly the wind had risen. rind its
mournful sound through the tree tops, bid
the noise she unavoidably made. lest licr de-
tection would have been little short of inev-
itablc.
But with every precaution the peril was
_. . . . .l._ _A. ....‘--._._..- 5..
great. As she stepped incautiously upon the
fallen branch of a decayed tree, it snapped
beneath her tread with a sharp, splintering
sound. The two men paused to listeii,seem-
ed to consult together an instant, and then
turned quickly toward the very copsc in
which she was hiding.
Poor Kitty 1 She sank uoiselessly down
like a wounded bird, crouching away in mor-
tal terror. But. although their footsteps al-
most touched the fiulteriug ends of her
brown shawl, the gathering dusk stood her
friend, and they passed by, unconscious of
her presence.
It was several minutes before Kitty dared
to riseolice more to her feet; and then they
were half way upa hillside dotted with black-
eutd stumps, where a charcoal burner’s
shanty, long unused, and in a ruinous condi-
tion, stood, with its one uuglazcd window,
seeming to survey the valley like at eye.
Kitty saw them disappear into this but—-
she saw them emerge once more, descending
Ilie uneven slope with long, running strides,
and striking once more into the read.
And when they passed the concealed
watcher, the muffled, jingliug sound that had
heretofore accompanied their footsteps was
gone.
“.You're a fool, Bill 1" sullculy exclaimed
one. as he stopped to rest on the edge of the
road, and the other stooped to drink from a
clear little stream, using the hollow of his
hand as an impromptu goblet.
“No, I ain’t a fool," said Bill, dashing the
qright drops away from his moustache; “but
I don’t see no use in running unnecessary
risks. Suppose we should meet some one ‘2"
“We sbau’t i"
“I’m not so sure of that. Anyway. it’s
best to be on the sure side, and tc-morrow
night—"
Their voices lowered it little now, died
away into the distance. anLIKitty, standing
alone in the woods, tried to collect her seat-
tcred thoughts into some definite plan of ac-
ion.
“Shall I still follow them? or shall I go up
and see if they have not hidden their booty
in that but ?”
For one moment she hesitated, then she
began to creep up the liillsidc,wilh weary
feet and lagging limbs, for fatigue and terror
were now beginning to tell upon her slender
frame. .
It was nearly dark when she crossed the
mouldcring threshold and stood in the sell-
tary cabin. Through the started timbers of
the roof the steel gray sky gleamcd with un-
natural light, while the hall decayed boards
of the floor creaked and gave beneath her
weight. A fluttering noise in one corner
made her heart turn chill. and the next
instant she perceived it was but u dusky
winged bat, beating itself against the beams
and rafters.
She stole trernulously forward to look in-
to the black, yawning chasm of the mud
chimney, the only place, as it seemed to her
where anything as large as the Deacon’s cau-
vass bag could be concealed. And as she
picked her way a board sprung beneath her
feet—a board which had been loosely laid
across, two beams without any securing nail.
Instinctively she stooped—and there before
her, wedged in between two heavy timbers,
over which had lain the board, was the little
canvas bag.
She caught it in both hands. hugging it
close to her breast, and burned toward the
door. But. as she advanced out of the close,
mouldy air of the cabin into the gray No-
vember twilight, the strength seemed to die
out of her limbs, the vitality to ebb from her
heart.
“SuIcly, surely I am not going to perish
now," she thought wildly,“wlien the danger
is all surmounted, the peril all past! God
will never let me die in this lonely place 1"
Tire half murmured aspiration was still on
her lips when all sense and feeling left her,
and she 'sank utterly unconscious on the
doorstep, with the canvas bag still clasped
to her heart.
It was quite dark when the old lumber
wagon rolled tip to the door, and Mrs. Os-
prey camc into the house carrying the “ex
tra" shawl upon her arm.-
“Kittyl Kitty! Why, where is the
child ?"
In vain she called. The fire had died out
upon the hearth—the pan of vegetables stood
upon the table,» just as the girl had left
it—ihe doors were open, and altogether
there was an air of confused desolation about
the dark and dreary house.
“Deacon Osprey." said the frightened mut-
ron, grasping her husband’s arm, “what does
this mean 1'" » -
The Deacon set his teeth tightly together,
biit made no answer. He walked silently
up stairs into the back room, and presently
returned.
“It means, wife,” he said, in a husky
voice -—
“Hush," sail Mrs. Osprey, with a start.—
“What’s that ‘2"
“Something at the door,” said Silas, rising
to open it. As he did so, a slender figure,
drenched with chili rain, and rolled Iii soiled,
brier-torn graments, lettered forward into
his arms, and the bag ol gold fell to the
kitchen floor with a dull, heavy sound.
“Kitty!" he cried ; “mother, it is Kitty,
and she is dying !" .
But Kitty Clifford was not dying—she
was only fainting from fatigue and over ex-
ertion, and Mrs. Osprcy’s kindly care soon
restored her to strength and animation.
The Deacon listened silently to her story,
and when she had finished, he stroked licr
bright hair down with a gentle touch.
“My little girl." he said, “you have been
very brave.” .. a
“Were you not frightened, kitty .r” asked
Silas, tenderly. .
“Yes, but it was worse when I came to
myself after that. fainting fit in the cabin on
the hill. 0, it was so dark—so dismal—so
solitary. with owls booting in the woods,and
a but flying round and round close to the
ceiling."
When Messrs. “Jim and Sandy Bill" came
after tlieir‘secreted treasures the next night,
their state of minds may easily be fancied.
But they never suspected who the uiarplot
was. Least of all would they have dreamed
of pretty Kale Clifford, who was just engag-
ed to be married to Deacon Qspj'ey’s s91;
Silas—N. Y. Ledger.

part of the material for such a sensation.—
Prescnlly an old woman. with a fashionable
Portugcse hood oii. approached me. This
hood is of thick blue cloth, attached to a
{cloak of the same stuff. and is a marvel of
v
ugliness. It stands up high, and spreads far
abroad, and is unfathomably deep. It fits
like a circus tent. and a woman’s head islrid-
den away in it like the man‘s who prompts
the singers from his tin shed in the stage of
an opera. There is no particle of trimming
about this monstrous capote, as they call it
—il is just a plain, ugly. dead blue mass of
sail. and a woman can’t go within eight
points of the wind with one of them on;
she has got to go before the wind or not at
all. The general style of the capote is the
same in all the islands, and will remain so
for the next 10,000 years, but each island
shapes its cupotcs just enough differently
from the others to enable an observer to tell
at a glance what particular island a lady
hails from."

“Speaking of those prodigious Portugcse

(prououccd rays), to make a dollar, and that
all financial estimates are made out in rcis.
We did not know this until after we had
found it out. and found it out through Blu-
chcr. Blucher said he was so happy and so
grateful to be on solid laud once more. that
he wanted to give a feast—said he had heard
it was a cheap land, and he was bound to
how: a grand banquet. He invited nine of
us. and we ate an excellent dinner at the
principal hotel. In the midst of the jolity
produced by good cigars, good wine, and
passable anecdotes, the landlord presented
his bill. Blucher glanced at it and his conu-
tepauce fell. He took another look to assure
himself that his senses had not deceived him,
and tires read the items aloud, iii a faltering
voice, while the roses in his cheeks turned to
ashes :
—)f-

‘Oh, my saluted mother l'

Great Czesai ’s ghost,thcrc ain‘t money enough
in the ship to pay that bill! Go—lcave me
to my misery, boys, I'm a ruined communi-
ty.’ I think it was the blankest looking
party I ever saw. Nobody could saya word.
It was as if every soul had suddenly been
stricken dumb. Wine-glasses descended
slowly to the table, their contents untested.
Cigars dropped unnoted from nerveless fin-
gers. Each man sought his neighbor's eye,
but found in it no ray of hope, no encourage-
ment. At last the fearful silence was brok-
en. The shadow of a desperate resolve set-
tled down upon Bluclicr’s countenance like
a cloud. and he rose up and said : 'Landlord,
this is a wretched, mean swindle, and I'll
never, never stand it. Here's $150, sir, and
it’s all you'll get—I’ll swim in blood, sir, be—
fore I’ll pay a cent more.’
Our spirits rose and the landlord’s fell—at
least we thought so: he was confused at any
rate, notwithstanding he had not understood
a word that had been said. He glanced from
the little pile of gold pieces to Blucher sev-
eral times, and then went out. He must
have visited on American, for, when he re-
turned, he brought back his bill translated
into a language that a Christian could under-
stand—thus: '
10 dinners. 6.000 reis, or S 6 00
% cigars, 2.500 reis, or 2 50
11 bottles of wine, 13,200 reis, or 13 20
Total, 21,700 reis, or $21 "(0
Happiness reigned once more in Blucher’s
dinner party. More refreshments were or-
dered. .
I think the Azores must be very little
known in America. Out of our whole ship’s
company there was not a solitary individual
who knew anything whatever about them.
Some of the party, well read concerning
most other lands. had no other information
about the Azores than that they were a group
of nine or ten small islands, far out in the
Atlantic, something more than half way be-
tween New York aud Gibraltar. That was
all. These considerations move me to put
in a paragraph of dry facts, just here. which
I might not venture to if I were writing
about worn-out arid written-out Europe
The community is eminently Portuguese
-—that is to say, it is slow, poor, shiltless,
sleepy and lazy. There is a civil govern-
ment appointed by the King of Portugal,and
a military governor, who can assume su-
preme control and suspend the civil govern-
mental. his pleasure. The islands contain a
population of about 200,000, almost entirely
Portuguese. Everything is staid and seitled,
for the country was 100 years old when Coi-
umbus discovered America. The principal
crop is com, and they raise it and grind it
just as their great—grcat—great-grandl‘athers
did. They plow with a board slightly shod
with iron; their trifling little barrows are
drawn by men and women; small wind-mills
grind the corn, ten bushels a day, and there
is one assistant superintendent to feed the
mill and a general superintendent to stand
by and keep him from going to sleep. When
the wind changes they bitch on some don-
keys, and actually turn around the whole up-
per half of the mill till the sails are in prop-
er positiou, instead of fixing the concern, so
that the sails could be moved instead of the
mill. Oxcn tread the wheat from the car,
after the fashion prevalent in the time of;
Metiiuseluli. There is not a wheelbarrow in
the land—they carry everything on their:
heads, 0I on donkeys, or in a wicker-bodied
cart, whose wheels are solid blocks of wood
and whose axles turn with the wheel. Therc‘f
is not a modern plow in the islands, or al
llrreshing machine. All attenipls to intro-
duce them have failed. The good Catholic
Poitugee crossed himself and prayed God
to shield him from all blasphemous desire to
know more than his firtherglid before him.
The climate is mild; they never have snow
or ice, and I saw no chimneys In the town.
The donkeys and the men, women and
children of a family, all cut and sleep in the
sameroom, and are unclean, are ravaged by
vermin. and are truly happy. The people
lie. and cheat the stranger, and are desperate-
ly ignorant, and have hardly any reverence
for their dead. That latter trait shows how
little better they are than the donkeys they
eat a sleep with.Tlie only well-dressed Por-
tuguesefilu the camp are the three or four
well-to-do-families, the Jesuit priests and the
soldiers of the little garrison. The wages of
a laborer are 20 to 24 cents a day, and those
of a good mechanic about twice as much.—
Thcy count it in rcis at a thousand to a dol-
lar, and this makes them rich and contented.
Fine grapes used to growln the islands, and
an excellent wine was made and exported.
But a disease killed all the vines 15 years
ago, and since that time no wine has been
made. The islands being wholly of volcan-
ic origin, the soil is necessarily very rich.—
Nearly every foot of ground is under culti—
vation, and two or three crops a year of each
article are produced, but nothing is exported
save a few oranges—chiefly to England.
The mountains on some of the island are
very high. We ,sailed along the shore of
the island of Pico‘, under a stately green
pyramid that rose up with one unbroken
sweep from our very feet to an altitude of
7,613 feet, and thrust its summit above the
white clouds like an island adrift. in a log!
We got plcifty of fresh oranges. lemons,
figs, apricots, &c.,iu these Azores, of course.
