AT the same hour in wrctched room,
almost unfinished, in rickety old tene-
ment house on Baxter street, poor girl,
not yet eighteen years of age, lay on a
miserable couch, dying! She had been
beautiful-that could be seen in her great
eyes, bright now that they were peering
out through the mist of this cold world
into the light Of the next-in her delicate
features worn as they were-in her every
look, wan and wasted as she was.
By her side, quiyering with his agony,
knelt boy but year Or two younger
her brother. His dress and his eugh
hands, showed that he was no idler-hc
had labored for her-for his inebriate
father; for, reader, these were the chill
dren of Judge By her side he
knelt, and sobbed and wept, for be felt
that the chill of death was coming upon
her. The little thin hand which he clasp
ed was cold as ice-her face was white,
her lips were blue and bloodless, her
breath came and went in little futtering
gasrs, and when her lips moved, only a
faint whisper reached his ear.
"Why don't father come? I am dy-
ing, Henry!" she whispered.
"Oh, God, 1 know it, Jane !" he moan
ed" Father would go for the medicine,
and-and-oh, l wish that I had gone,
but l did not dare to leave your
Kiss me, dear brother-kiss mel
shall be with mother soon!" gasped the
poor girl, and every breath seemed to be
more and more faint.
He pressed his lips to hers, and his
burning tears fell fast upon her snowy
check, He thought he heard a step as
cending the rickety stairs-he turned his
head to see if his father was coming. He
was mistaken. 1t was only the strong
winter wind shaking the crazy old house.
He heard a sigh-he turned, and with a
low moan of utter misery, he bowed his
head over the corse of his poor sister.
With that sigh her spirit had left its tene-
mcnt of suffering. Yes, amid that squa-
lid wretchedness, had persisted the girl
who had been delicately and tenderly
reared in comfort aud luxury, by one of
the best of mothers-a mother, who, with
a broken spirit, had faded away, as she
saw her once noble husband descending
step by step toward the drunkard's pit of
degradation.

BRUSSELS LAcE.-Tbe spinning of fine
thread used for lace-mabing in the Meth
erlands is an operation demanding SO high
degree of minute care and vigilant at
tention, that it is impossible that it can
ever be taken from human hands nachin-
cry. None but Belgian fingers are skill
ed in this art The finest sort of this
thread is made in Brussels, in damp, I'M
derground cellars, for it is so extremely
delicate that it is lieble to break by con-
tact with the dry air above ground; and
it is obtained in good condition only when
made and kept in humid, subterraneous
atmosphere. There are numbers of old
Belgian thread makers, who, like spiders,
have passed the best part Of their lives
spinning in cellars. This sort of occupa-
ton naturally has an injurious effect on
tho health and therefore to induce peo-
pie to follow it, they are highly paid.

WHO SHOULD SPEAK FRsT?-Ladies frequently
complain that gentlemen pass them in the street
unnOticed, when the fault arises from their own
breach of politeness. 1t is their duty to do the
amiable first for It is privilege which the Ia
dies enjoy of choosing their own associates of
acquantances. No gentleman likes to risk the
'cui" in the street by a lady through prema-
ture salute. Too many ladies', il would seem
don't ktaow the rules Of polaeness. Meeting ladies'
in the street, whom one casually met in compa-
ny, they seldom bow unless be bows first, and
when gentleman ever departs from the rule
Of good breeding. except occasionally, 10y way
of experiment, his acquaintances do not multi
ply, but he stands. probably. charged with rude
meas. A lady must be civil to gentleman in
whose company she may be placed, but gem
tleman is not upon this 10 presume upon All
acquaintanceship the first time he afterwards
meets her in the street. If it he her will. she
gives some token of recognition, when the gen
tleman may how, but otherwise he must IS on
and consider himself stranger. No lady
need hesitate to bow to a gentleman. for he will
promptly and politely answer, even If he has
70 gotten his fair saluter. No one bnt brute
can do otherwise. Shonld he pass rudey on,
his character is declared. and there is cheap
riddance. Politeness or good breeding is like
law-the treason of things"

The following few of the many testimonials which

Although are opposed to the system OF advertising

Autumn leaves around me falling
Falling on the ground.
Solemn winds around me sighing-
Sigh in mournful sound
Now each separate leaf is choosing,
As its page Of life is closing,
Space to build its mound.
Lovely flowers around me fading =.
Fading from my sight
And the lovely beds that nurse them
Wear the sickly blight;
Now their mother earth Is wearing,
As their beauty's disappearing,
Cheerless robes ofnght
Briehtplu summer birds leaving
Leaving scenes so dear
And the naked bOughs moa ming
Means too sad to hear;
Sighing wang-mournful creaking-
Winter tones so sadly speaking
Words Of cold despair
All within their seasons blooming
Blooming but day.
Lighting earth with smiles Of beauty
Smiles that soon decay; ...--
Soon their broken charms betoken
That the spell Of life Is broken, "a a
And they pass away.
Now life's autumn winds chilling,

A THRILLING lNClDENT.-An exciting incident
is given in the Utica N. Y Observer:
During the examination Of the cases Of the
alleged frauds upon the Pension Office, at
Rochester, quite an exciting incident occurred.
Captain Minor, a veteran of the war OF 1872, a
very intelligent old gentleman, was introduced
as u witness He was shown one OF the old
pay rolls 10y Mr.. Perkins, clerk Of the Pension
Office at Washington, and asked it he recollect

pointed out to him upon it, He readily an
Question by the District Attorney.-Do you
recollect a soldier in your company by the
name OF Bar-enger?
Answer.-I do, very well.
Ouesiion-Would you know that man now
Answer-I do not think should; il is a long
time since have seen him-more than forty
years.
Commissioner Conklin then called upon Bar
renger who was in the room among the wit
nesses from Tioga county TO stand up. III
rose in a distant part of the room, stood firlr
and upright, in every respect soldier. and
bowed respectfully TO his old Captain, who
after viewing him for moment, shook biz
head obviously and said:
IL do not rccolcct him and added: Gen
tlenen. il IL a long time since have seen him
1t IL furty-sx years this very day since led
my company, with The American army of three
thousand men, into Sacketts Ilarb0r."
In moment, without regard TO time or place.

cheer, loud aud long, broke from the au-
dience There stood. unexprc. .edly to each
other. the two old soldiers face to face, who
had almost half a century ago. marched shoul-
der to shoulder to the frontier to defend their
country from an invading foe. They had met
now for the first time since then; and that upon
the anniversary Of that patriotic acton So
sudden and sympathetic was the expression
that the worthy Marshal. Colonel Jewett. al
lowed his patriotism to get the start of his love
Of order and decorum, and forgot TO rap with
his usual promptnets. And the face of the
good Eatured Commissioner, Mr.. Conkling.
seemed more smiling than ever. and appeared
