er, who remained at home, that on rising
up from prayer, in her closet, she heard a
noise as though some one was with her in

whence the noise proceeded, something
took hold of her invisibly and pressed her
firmly to it, as if she had been embraced
by some one, and the same moment she
without seeing anything whatever
very distinctly, the voice of her departed
daughter, saying quite plainly to her,
Mamma I am 50 happy-I am 50 hap

heard nothing more. But what wished
for change did we all perceive on our dear
mother on coming home She had regain

Incidents are not rare among the poor
and down-trodden in society, Of the true
marks of manhood. Many poor, bare
footed and ragged boy carries within his
bosom the true elements Of affection and
kindness and were these boys allowed a
fair opportunity with the more wealthy
and favored class of children they would
rise to emnence and renown. The follow-
ing little incident reveals the real charac-
ter of true manhood in the little hero of it.
May he live to reach life of honor and
usefulness
"When, three weeks since, some forty of
the children in charge of the Children's
Aid Society of New York, were arranging
for removal to the West, boy was OBJ
served folding with great care his old cap,
having previously taken out of its lining a
small piece of faded calico john called
friend, what are you going to do with
that creased calicor Please, sir, it is not
creased it is all that | have to remember
my dead mother by F.; it's part of her
dress which | cut off when she lay dying
in the garnet in - street. The ques-
ton and the answer were too much for the
little fellow, and putting the strip under
his shirt, next to his breast, he buried his
face in his hands, and filled the room with
his sobs"
Man, woman, whoever you be, speak
tenderly to that boy across the way He
may be an orphan. His mother and father
may be both in the graveyard yonder.
Dear child he has nothing but his own
little hands by which to work his way in
the world. Speak kindly to him. Per-
haps some day an orphan may walk the
earth whose name and yours shall spell
alike Christian Secretary.
