A GOOD STORY.
Intellect in Rags.

I. was a bleak wintery day. Heavy
snow drifts lay piled up in the streets Of
New York, and the whole appearance Of
the city was cold and dismal.
Seated upon the steps Of one Of the
large dwellings on ffth Avenue, was a
boy apparently thirteen years Of age
He was literally clothed in rags, and his
hands were blue. and his teeth chartered
with cold. Lying upon his knee was
newspaper he had picked up in the streets,
and he was trying to read the words upon
it. He had been occupied thus for some
time, when two little girls, clad in silks
and furs, came towards him. The eldest
one was about twelve years old, aud 90

and fixed them upon her in undisguised
admiration. t
The child Of wealth stopped before him
and turning to her companion exclaimed.
"Marian, just see this fellar on my
Steps! Boy what are you doing here ~
81 am trying TO learn to read upon this
little bit Of ofpaper," answered the boy.
The girl laughed derisively and said :
"Well, truly! I have heard Of intel.
lect in rags. Marian, and here i. is per-
soni6ed."
Marlan's soft hazle eyes filed with
tears, as she replied:
"Oh, Louise, do not talk so. you know
what Miss Fannie teaches in school, The
rich and the poor meet together, and the
Lord is the Maker Of them ALL"
Louise laughed again, and said to the
boy;
sect up from here, you shall no, si
on my steps, you are too ragged and
dirty"
The boy arose and blush crimsonet

"Don't 60 little boy, you are so cold
