The Downtown Beggar Girl.

It was two full hours after the carriage had
left the uptown palace, when a little forlorn
creature held out her bony hand-in front of
the large white building cornering on Broad
way and Chambers street-to solicit meagre
penny of the passers-by. The little girl was
so thinly clad you could see the outline of her
half starved little frame. The day was blus
tering, and the wind seemed to penetrate to
her very heart, as she stood there holding out
that miserable mite of hand, more like a
bird g claw than human hand
An deliberately dressed lady, blazing in
satin and jewelry, came out of the building.
"Please, lady, one penny''-spoke the little
weak, timid voice.
But the lady merely glanced at the shiver.
ing little morsel of humanity, remarking to
her companion that she wondered what the
authorities permitted such objects to block
up the way for; for streets ought to be cleared
of such nuisances."
Just then dirty rag picker, who had been
i husy y,9s in picking over s some oai in

tated 1t was, however, but for a moment
He fumbled in his dirty, ragged pockets,
brought forth coin, and dropped it into the
little girls hand.
"Did you see that manuvre," spoke the
voice of the heartless beauty, from the car
riage, a. she again addressed her friend 1T

and the friend re-entered the large building,
returned in a moment with neat little shawl,
which she threw over the shoulders of the lit
tic girl, and handing her half dollar, disap-
peared in the carriage beside her scornful
friend Mrs. C.
A whole half dollar lit was more than the
little creature had ever had in her life.
"But won't mother, and sissy, and baby
and have good dinner" thought she, as
she sought the wretched place she called her
home, to show her new shawl and the prize in
money. Happy little beggar!

FARE THEE WELL.

This beautiful production, says the New Yorl
Atlas, Is copied from the works OF a well known
lobe bard, at the request of lady, who we do no
'ften feel inclined to dsappoint. We do not thinl
1idual who will not appreciate The superior merit

FATE thee well! and if forever, -..T
Still forever, fare thee tceu!
Even though unforgiving, never
Gainst thee shall my heart rebel.
Woulo that breast were barred before thee,
Where thy head so oft hath lain
While that placid sleep came DER thee.
which thou meier canst know again:
would that breast, by thee glanced over
Every Utmost thought would show.
Then thou wouldst at last discover
Twas not well to spum II 80.
Though the world for this commend thee
Inoush II smile upon the blow,
Even its praises more offend thee
Founded on another's woe ....
Enough my many faults defaced me,
Could no other arm be found .'
Than the one which once embraced me,
To inHict a cureless wound.
Yet, oh yet, myself deceive not,
Love may sink by slow decay
But by sudden wrench, believe not
Hearts can thus be torn away;
Still thine own its life retaineth-
sui must mine though bleeding, beat;.
And the undying thought which paineth,
ls-that we no more may meet.
These are words of deeper sorrow
Than the wall above the dead;
BotI shall live, but every morrow
Wakes US from widowed bed.
And when thou wOuldst solace gather.
When our child's first accents flow,
Wilt thou teach her to say " Father.',
Though his care she must forego.
When her little hands shall press thee.
When her lip to thine is prest,
Think OF him whose prayer shall bless thee.
THINK OF him thy love had blessed!
EhOud lnpampnf,
Those thou never more mayst see,
Then thy heart will softly uemble
With pulse yet true to me- .. -r..-
Au my faults perchance thou knowest.
All my madness none can know;
All my hopes, where'er thou goest,
Whither-yet with thee they 90.
Every feeling hath been shaken;
Pride, which not world could bow.
Bows to thee-by thee forsaken,
Even my soul forsakes me now:
But 'tis done-ali words arc idle
Words from me are vaner still;
But the thoughts we cannot Birdie
Force their way without the will,
Fare thee well thus disunited,
Torn from every nearer tie,
Sear'd In heart, and lone, and bliyhted-
More than this, scarce can die.
