ant evening of October, soon after sunset, a gen.

She had dropped one of her gloves. He picked
it up. 1t was dainty little creation of white
kid just the least bit in the world soed by con.
tact with the pavement.
Exquisite! muttered he, hurrying after the
fair loser, with the comInendabe intention of
returning it, and, perhaps, making the acquaint.
ance OF a lady who wore such a glove.
But he was a moment too late for. Just as he
was overakng her, she turned suddenly, and
mounted the steps of an elegant dwelling

marble door 81, ha -.nnd far half IA moment
with her hand dn the polished knob. The hand
was ungloved, white as snow, and beautiful as
it could be. She opened the door without ring
ing the bell and disappeared in the hall. OF
course she resided there.
The gentleman placed the little glove in his
pocket. took down the number of the residence
and walked a way.
1t was twilight when he reached his lodgings :
and going Immediately to his room, ne threw
himself into an a.:. chair Is ;ie window, and
sank into revere from which he was awak-
ened BY the presence of a visitor, whose uncere-
monious entrance put to flight a whole cloud Of
angels in white kid gloves, and little mortal
hands without them.

the work that men praise. You see the
extent Of this feeling in little things. Peo-
pie are so shamed of being caught for

most industrious servants or workmen
whilst they are standing looking at some
thing which interests them, or fairly rest
ing, they move off in fright, as if they
were proved by moments relaxation,r to
be neglectful of their work. Yet by, and

and to which they should appeal But a.
mong all classes, the working is the thing

To provide for animal wants. Not con-
temptible thing, by any means, but still it
is not all and all with man. Moreover, in
those cases where the pressure of bread
getting is fairly past, we do not often find
mems exertions lessened on that account.
