noticed little fellow, aged about ten years, toer
ably well dressed, trndgng along quite merrily, in
company with youth whom we supposed to be
his brother On looking at his feet we discovered
that he was shoeless and our heart was directly
panied at the unexpected exhibition; for, the
weather was cold and the ground was damp, and
the wind whistled about him. On turning round
to inquire into his condition, we perceived new
pair Of shoes under his arm, the peculiar merits
1.-THE neatness and stoutness) of which he was dis
cussing with his companion, while on his face
was gratifying glow of delight. The poor boy
had bought new pair of shoes, but, as we sup
posed was fearful Of soiling them by wearing
them home, or, ii may have been that he intended
10 luxuriate in them, for the first time to-daythe
Sabbath-and 10 make noise with them on his
entrance into the Sunday school-room, as tito let
his fellow-pupils know that he was as well shod
as themselves.
A short time afterwards, passing along the same
-Lousiapa-two little girls attracted our
attention They were probably ten years Of age.
Their garments were apparently as few and as
light as would have been agreeable in the sultry
months Of Summer; their heads covered with
faded hoods; their general appearance denoting
The extreme Of poverty. Each carried large
basket. They were in search Of unclaimed and
refuse particles Of wood, Vth which to illumine
some cheerless hearth. They were shoeless, and
shivering, and shrunk from the keenness of the
northern blast, and took shelter in the basement
entrance Of the City Hall. This however was
but poor comfort and it not until the one
had reminded the other Of her duty that they both
again sailed out in quest of fuel
What contrast to group Of children whom
we saw FIVE minutes afterwards; clothed with
fnrs and cloaks, and every kind of garment that
could protect them from the bitter influences of
the weather; they laughed upon their way to their
homes, which are made glad, probably, with all
that renders life DESIRABLE never rejecting for a
moment on
How many feel this moment want
And all the sad varieties Of pain"
