 z Long years ago, lttlesboy, ragged and dirty, seated himself upon the steps of state-
 y mansion on Fifth Avenue, New York, and was there bueily engaged in trying to read from q pit of paps, when his attention was attract ed by two. .itlesgirls, richly dressed. The eld- est of the two particularly attracted him, for she was as beautiful as an angel but as they came nearer to him, she lifted up her head and exclaimed 1 Boy, what are you doing here ? The. boy answered that he was trying to read. The child of afiuence derided him and said she had heard of intellect in rags. and he was the very personifcation of it. Her compan- ions answer was, that, i,'the rich and poor meet together, and the Lord is the maker of them ali. v Ths elder girl drove the boy away from the steps but, the younger one took him into her dwelling and warmed and fed him taere.
 When ihey parted, the little girl said, You must not, forget Marians HayAs,'l And Miss Hayes,he has never fugotten her.'ogbc ~ i That ragged, dirty boy is now before you, ladies, as amemberJ of onsress and allow me, Miss Gardner, totender my thanks to you for the kind treatment of that boy .t5 .E

 Marian and Mr. Hamilton were walking to- gethsr one evening, when the latter drew from his boson, an old and well, worn primer, and handed it to Marian. ,,. .a ,s.-sz,'[ ,,,a;.

 Marian trembled, and did not traise hereyes, when shs saaya the well well llremembeled book Mr, Hamilton took ookr her hand. and said :sragsbaIs
 Marian, Jimmy, has never forgotten you. Since that day you were so kindbtol him and gave him this book, his life had one great aim, and that was to attain to greatness, and in af- ter years to meet that aministering angel who was the sweetne fer of my days ofpoverty.' When Iief yourhouse with this book, returned to my humble home ten times happier, and went assiduo usly to work to 'llearn to read My mother was an invalid. and ere long learned we'll enough to read to her. When my mother disd,g 1T found good friends, and was adopted by gentleman in W----.t As his son have been educated. A year ago he died, and left his property to me. Of all the pleasing ,men-i ories of my hoyhood, this one ee"aee.ed ri.h nthT you is the dearest. have kept this primer, next to my heart, and dwelt upon the hope of, again meeting the giver, l have met her.

 Louise felt deeper grief than ever when Ma rian told her she was to become the wife of Mir. Hamilton, th. poor boy whom she once spurned from the door, and derisivey called | intellect in rags Bot she learned a severe lesson, and one that changed the whole eur rent of her life. For while she stunned Mr. Hamilton ; but bs preserving, kindness he made her feel easy in his presehts, and sbs is dUw lths! acknowledged friend of, the Congress man and his nobeM " '.'.'' .-,.'',', -,
