some matches, sir?" said the voice of
q Boy, rs we were seated in our sane.
tum IN MOOD contemp!a,Ive, abou,
eight o'clock Il few nights ago.
No we answered in tone that might
not have been altogether courteous or
good na'ured, because the same ques-
ZION had often been asked us before,
twenty times u day. This answer VIC
gave without looking al the cnIit, or
giving 4 second thought to the matter.
Please buy some matches sir, said
the youth; III give you five boxes fora
bit.
Boz we have no use for them boy, or
We would purchase of you.

The tones of the chlI's voice were so
plain'ive; his manner Of speaking and
his pale haggard countenance bore such
evident marks of trnihfulness and hon
es'y, and his bearing was SO manly that
we could not if we had tried, to do other
wise than listen to his tale.
How many sisters have you? we
asked.
Three sir.
Are they either OF them able to assist
your mother?
Oh, bless you, no sir. Mary is but
seven years old, Pauline, only four, and
1.-THE Kate can barely toddle across the
u or. Mary. though takes care Of
Kate some Of the time, and that saves
poor mo. her some trouble.
And what, we asked does your moth
er do for your support?
She binds shoes, sir. Ma sends me
