II was a cold wintry day. Heavy
snow drifts lay piled on the streets of New
York, and the whole appearance of the city
was cold and dismal.
Seated upon the stone steps Of one of the
largest dwellings of Fifth Avenue, was q
boy, apparently about thirteen years of
age. He was literally clothed with rags,
his hands were blue, his teeth chartered
with cold. Lying upon his knee was q
piece Of newspaper he had picked up in the
street, and he was trying to read the words
upon it. He had been occupied thus for a
time, when two little girls, clad in silk and
furs came towards him. The eldest one was
about twelve years old, and 60 beautiful

them upon her in undisguised admira-

The child of wealth stopped before him,

Marian's sof. hazel eyes filed with tsars,

"Oi Louise, do not talk so you know
what Miss Fannie teaches in school. The
rich and poor meet together, and the LORD
is the maker of us all"
Louise laughed again, and said to the lit
tie boy:
"Get up from here, you shall not sit on
my door steps, you are too ragged and dir

He arose and burning blush crimson

Marian said:
"Don't go, little boy, you are so cold;

How to Keep Apples.

As the apple season is at hand, the fol
lowing suggestions from the editor of the
american Agriculturistwill be found yalua.
BILE:
Late last spring we were enjoying ap
pies picked and packed the previous Octo-
Der in Western New York. Thew were as
fresh and juicy as the day they were ont in
the barrels. The secret of their long keen
ing Is worth knowing by all Eastern peo.
PIE who order their fruit from the West.
and who have lost much by the bruisipp of
the apples on their journey. They were
packed, when they were shipped. in oats
and have been kept in a close upper room
through the winter. The advantages of
this method are several. You get oats for
about thirty per cent. less than the price
IN the Eastern market. These are handy
for the horse, if you keep one, and for the
hens, If your stock is limited to few fowls.
They preserve the apples from all bruises
on the passage, by rail CT canal, which is
impossible without something to fill up the
crevices. As the freight is so much per
barrel, there is no additional charge for the
oats. The oats are great safeguard
against rotting, where the apples are kept
In close, tight room without fire. The
closet room, aud the still closer envelope of
the Darrell and the oats, guard against the
sudden changes of temperature SO common
IN our winter cline. With the thermome.
ter at zero out of doors, they " i'll not freeze.
Is they should be frosted little. il is drawn
out so gradually by the oats that they are
not injured. We have ever seen any
method so satisfactory as this for transport
ting and preserving APPLES"

MAN-For the benefit of woman. it ma
be well to record the fact that man is no
where found 50 true to his natural impul-
ses as when at home. Would she glance
as his true character, she must drop int
the domestic circle IN an unwary moment
Trust him not while away from home, in
the pursuit of business or pleasure. for
mercenary or other considerations may in
duce him, for time, to lift the frOwn from
his cOuntenance, and to put on all the airs
of ease and gentility; but seek him in the
bosom of his family, and you will find him
exercising his true spirit. Witness the
strength of coniugalities-thc power of af-
tections over all that he has and is-and
his full character will appear before you,
glowing in excellence, or sinking into
insignifcance.
