THE LITTLE OUTCaST.


sMayn't [ stay, ma am? I'll do anything
you give me-cut wood, 60 after water, and
do all your errands.''
The troubled eyes of the speaker were
filled with tears. 1t was a lad that stood
at the outer door, pleading with kindly
looking woman, who still seemed to doubt
the reality of his good intentions.
The cottage sat by itself on a bleak moor,
or what in Scotland would have been called
such. The time was near the latter end Of
September, and fierce wind ratified the
trees around the house, and fed with a
sLivering sound into the narrow doorway,
as if seeking for warmth at the blazing fire
within.
Now and then q snow fake touched with
it's soft chill the check of the listener, or
whitened the angry redness of the boy be-
numbed hands
The woman was evidently 10th to grant
the boys request, and the peculiar look
stamped upon his features would have sug-
gested to any mind an idea of depravity far
beyond his years.
But her woman's heart could not resist
the sorrow in those large, but by DO means
handsome grey eyes.
"Come in, at any rate, till the good man
comes home; there, sit down by the fire
you look perishing with cold;" and she drew
a chair up to the warmest corner, then, sus-
piciousIy gIancing at the child from the cor
ner Of her eyes, she continued setting the
table for supper.
Presently came the tramp of heavy shoes
the door was flung open with a quick
jerk, and the 'good man" presented himself
weary with labor
A look Of intelligence passed between
himself and his wife-he, too, scanned the
boys face with an expression not eyincing
satisfaction, but nevertheless, made him
come to the table, and then enjoyed the
zest with which lie despatched his supper.
Day after day passed, and yet the boy
begged to be kept ''only until tomorrow -
so the good couple, after consideration, that
SO long as he was docile and worked so
heartily, they would retain him.
One day, in the middle of the winter,
pedar, long accustomed to trade at the
cottage, made bis appearance and disposed

Oh. there was something SO horrible in
the word jail-she poor woman trembled as
she laid away her purchases, nor could She
be easy till she called the bey in, and as

"Well," he muttered, his whole frame

rolled off may as we'll 60 to ruin at

"Tell me- said the woman, who stood
OFT far enough for flight if that should be
necessary, chow came you to 90 SO Young
to that dreadful place? Where was your
mother 2"
"Oh," exclaimed the boy, with a burst
of grief, which it was terrible to behold.
"Oh, haint had no mother ever since
was baby. If I'd only had q mother" he
continued, his anguish growing vehement,
and the tears gushing out from his strange
looking grey eyes, 81 wouldn't a been

and stole because L was hungry. Oh, L
haint got no mother-I haint got no mother
i haven't had no mother since was q
baby"
The strength was all gone from the boy,
and he sank on his knees sobbing, great
choking sobs, and rubbing the hot tears
away with ais poor knuckles And did that
woman stand there unmoved? Did she
collly bid him pack up and be off-the Jail
bird?
Ne, no; she had been a mother, and
though all her children slept under the cold
sod iu the churchyard, she was a mother
still.
She went up to that poor boy, not to
hasten him away, but to lay her fingers
kindly and softly on his head, to tell him
to look up and find in her henceforth a
mother. Yea, she even put her arm about
The neck Of that forsaken, deserted child
she poured from her mothers heart sweet,
womanly words of counsel and tenderness.
Oh, how sweet was her sleep that night,
how soft was her pillow. She had linked
poor suffering heart to hers by the most
silken bands Of love she had plucked some
thorns from the path of little SHINING,
striving mortal. None but the angels could
witness her holy JOY, and not envy.
Never-be is with her; vigorous, man
ly, promising youth. The low character of
his countenance has given place to an open
and pleasing expression, with depth enough
to make it an interesting study.
His foster father is dead, his good foster
mother is aged and sickly, but she knows
no want. The ence poor outsast is her only
dcpenence, and nobly does he repay the
trust.

Submarine Operations at He'll Gate.

nj. Maillefert aud Capt. Raaslof have re.
newed operations against the famous "Pot
Rock" nj Hell Gate, by the direction of Gov
ernment and under the superintendance OF
Brevet Major ID. Fraser U. S. A.; and the
results so TAR as known are as gratifying as
before. twill be remembered that the first
intention was to reduce Pot Rock to 20 feet
from the surface. lnean low tide.) This has
been accomplished and now the Govern
ment approaching the importance of render
ing the Gate safe for the ships of the Navy
and with them all other vessels, has deter
mined to reduce j; to "a feet; which Hercu-
lean task will in oil probability be completed
Ina few days. Some idea of the magnitude
OF the undertaking may be had from the
knowledge of the fact that when operations
were renewed, May 2lsi, 1853, the area of
the rock TO be worked against was 16,S00
square feet. Since that date the area to be
removed to the depth required has been re-
duced one.half, which leaves S,400 square
feet yet to be demolished. The most eeva-
ted point of the rock at the present time is
81 feet. The change in the eddy aud cur
rent since the commencement is so great that
Ia, IL aud 10 charges can he exploded be-
tween tdes-one, two and three were oil
that could he fixed upon the rock during the
carry operations. lie debFtS which lies
around the rock caused considerable delay,
as dragging il into the deep, or to the shore,
requires great deal of time. Nevertheless,
under the supervision of Mujor Fraser " the
work goes bravely on" As the rocks lessen,
explosions cause an increased trembling OF
the earth for long distance inland. Stand
ing many yards from the shore at the time
n charge is fired, the shock is severe and it il
reported that several rooms of buildings in
the neighborhood have had their ceiling
shaken until portions have fallen. The effecl
borders upon the wonderful. Just as the
exploding charge forces up the immense col.
uun of water, numbers of fish leap from the
water TO the height of one and two feet fol
more than 100 yards around, fall dead and
often torn in pieces. As soon as Pot Rock has
been reduced, Nj. Mailleiert will proceed to
! Now-liayen Harbor and commence similar
operations against Middle Rock.

How 10 Estimate Railroad Damages.

An intelligent correspondent Of The Boston
Post, in speaking of the Norwalk disaster,
remarks that the estimates of damages that
should be recovered are altogether too low.
In England juries estimate damages upon a
reasonable and scientific principle. The fol-
lowing example is given:
"a lady was travelling with her husband
on the Midland Counties Railway, in 1851,
when another train ran into theirs, killing
the husband and several others. The lady
brought a suit-a sum was offered but she
would not accept it-nnd it was contested.
The killing was not denied, nor the careless
ness of the action: il was merely question
of damages. The lady proved that her hus-
band was professional man, lawyer, l
think, and that his average annual income
was $4,000. His age was proved, believe
he was 36. Life insurance tables were then
consulted, and the average length or duration
of lives beyond that period WINS asceriained.
The probable duration of liis life, or its value,
as life insurance has il, was found, aud il
reached, think, so years, or IA years beyond
the period of his death. They then took
either one.hnlf of his income, or one-ihird,
one-h huff believe, for the lady, and compui-
ing the value by compound interest for Ia
years, awarded the amount, and Il icas nearly
seventy thousand dollars"

THE ANTI-SLAvERY BUGLE.

and having no desire or expectation Of ever
having anything to do with Zinc mining or
Paint manufacture-that we consider the
substitution Of Zinc for Lead os the basis for
Paints one ofthe most valuable improvements
Of our age. The Zinc White gives brighter
color than White Lead, goes farther, and we
believe is more durable, but we await further
experience on that head. The Brown Zinc
is also superior article, goes far, and is one
Of the most economical Paints ever used.
But the great superiority Of Zinc inheres in
the fact that il is inocuous, while Lead Is an
nctive, insidious poison, which, now that an
unexceptional substitute has been found,
ought never more to be used. Too many
painters lives and limbs have already been
sacrificed through Painters Collie, and other
diseases induced by inhaling the deadly
fumes Of Lead. And this effect upon those
who apply il cannot fail to have its less OBJ
vious counterpart in the experience of those
who occupy apartments painted with Lead
especially those recently painted, or rarely
exposed to free currents of air. Lead Paints
should never more be used on the inside oI
houses, and in fact we perceive no good ren'
son for using them at all, unless i be where
Zinc Paints are unattainable. Tribune.

Stamped Letter Envelopes.

We understand that Mr.. Nesbit hns large
number of the new stamped envelopes for
the Post-Office Department now ready for
delivery. Mr. NJ, severnl months ago, expend-
ed large amount ofmoney in erecting COM
modious place, with steam.power, for the
exclusive purpose of manufacturing these
envelopes. Some one hundred and fifty
males and females were Immediately EN-
ployed TO prosecute the work. The white
and buff paper is ofsuperior quality and made
expressly for this purpose, with water lines
having the letters p. o. ID. U. s., being the
initials Of the Post-Office Department Of the
United States, which nre as easily distinguish
ed as if they were printed in ink. The sheets
of paper are cut into envelop size by cutting
machine run by steam. They are then EN-
bossed with the likeness Of General Wnsli-
ington then stamped, on stenm presses, with
the various denominations Of postnges /; then
pnss through the process Of self sealing, and
finally are carefully examined, counted, and
packed in large cases ready for Shipment
The operatives nre principally females, and
the contractor has spared neither pains or
expense in getting up this article in the most
handsome style. Mr.. Nesbit has adopted
stringent rules for guarding the iactory-ihe
same rs at the U. s. Mint. This is done TO
prevent forgeries or distractions Of the en-
velopes, aud under no circumstances are
strangers admitted unless accompanied by
himself or a trllsty employee. The factory
is nlso guarded nt night by watchmen. When
the contract was first given out, il was de-
signed to bring them into Use by the first of
June, and the contractor has already vast
quantity ready for delivery at Washington,
when ordered by the Pos,naster-G General

And iand-birds' voices on the glad ears chime

And sea-weeds float in emerald lustro rare,
Like the shorn tresses of merm aidens hair

Its bright white clifisl the guards Of libertyl
And bravely cheering gladly on they come,
