Looking for a Place.

swell, Johnny, have you succeeded to-day,
my son"
Nothing good to-day, mother. have
been all over the town almost, and no one
would take me. The bookstores and groce-
ries have plenty Of boys already; but think
If you had been with me, should have
stood = better chance. o, you look 50 thin
and pale, mother. somebody would have felt
sorry, and SO took me, but nobody knew me,
and nobody saw you"
After reading q portion Of Gods holy
Word, the mother and her little boy knelt
down together in their loneliness, and prayed
the Lord to take care Of them. They were
very poor, but they knew that God also takes
care of the poor. They knew also, that God
would do what was best for them. o, it is o
sweet thing to thu soul, to be able to say,
sincerely, "Thy viii be done"
Next morning was the Sabbath day. The
Sunday School bell rang. The sun was shin
ing bright and clear, but the air was exceed.
ingly cold. The child had no overcoat. and
was still wearing part OF bis summer cloth
ing. He was in his seat just as the SUPER
inter dent and his teacher entered.
Who is that little psle-faced boy in your
class" asked the superintendent off Johnny,s
teacher. s-
"Hls name - Jones; he lives on Stone
stree, and must visit him every week. He
is a well-behsyed boy"
II should like to know more of him, and
will see him after school,
The superintendent did not forget him,
and when the class broke up. seeing him
linger behind the other scholars, went up
and took him by the hand kindly. "Did |
not see you yesterday, looking for place,
on Water streetf'
z. was down there, sir, looking for
place"
"Why did you not take that place which
the gentleman Rad for you in the large gro
Gerry stores"
20, sir, I did net know they sold rum
there when first went in, and when saw
what kind Of store it was, was afraid.
My father once kept q large store like that"
and the child shuddered when be answered.
"why d. ~ not keep the piece Of gold
money that you found on the floor AS you
were coming into the store2"
Because il was not mine, and thought
that the gent! eman could find the owner
sooner than could.
s"He did, my boy; it was my money.
Did you not geta place TO work in, yes
terday ?"
~No, sir, all the places were full, and no
body knew me.~
swell, my boy, you may 60 now and tell
your mother that you have place. Come
to me very early in the morning. Your

know as much about my history as the pub
lie would care about knowing; and although

the manuscript, have no fear that your work
will not be faithful one.
Yours, very truly.

CHINESE STREET JUGGLERs.

AIetter from China to the Chicago
Tfifane says
'sStreet jugglers and mountcbanks
abound in Canton, and in fact in every
Chinese city. They also travel from
place to place throughout the country,
Displaying their feats, and picking up
some cash here and there. AS gen
erzi thing their juggling feats do not
amount to great deal, yet some of
them are very clever, and would create
fully as much of theatrical ft1'ore in
the United States as did the Japanese
performers. Sword-swallowing and
stone eating appear to be the common
estfeats, and operators of this descrip-
tian can be seen in almost every street.
Cine fellow, however, performed num-
her of feats in front of our hotel which
demand from me more than passing
notice. He stationed himself in the
centre of the street, and blowing a blast
upoH q bugle to give notice that he was
about tolbegin his entertainment, he
took a small lemon or orange tree, which
was covered with fruit, and balanced it
upon his head. He then blew sort of
chirrupping whistle, when Immediately
a number of rice birds came from every
direction and settled upon the boughs
0f the bush he balanced or futtered
about his head. He then took a cup
in his hand and began to rattle some
seeds IN it, when the birds disappeared.
Txhing small bamboo tube, he next
took the seeds, and putting one in it
blew it at one of the fruit, when it
opened, and out few one of the birds,
winch futtered about the circle sur
rounding the performer. He continued
tssshoot his seeds at the oranges until
MeaTly dozen birds were released. He
then removed the tree from his fore
head, and setting it down, took up a
dash, which he held above his head,
when all the birds few into it. He then
covered it over with cover, and giving
TIA whirl or two about his head, opened
ftsnd displayed quantity of eggs, the
siielIg of which he broke with little
stick, releasing bird from each shell.
The trick was neatly performed and de
fed detection from my eyes. The next
trick was equally clever and difficult of
detection. Borrowing handkerchief
from one of the spectators, he took an
oesHge, cut O small hole in it, then
sqaeezedsall the juice out and crammed
the handkerchief into it. Giving the
orange TO o bystander to hold, he caught
mp 8 teapot, and began to pour cup of
tea from it, when the spout became
cssgged. Looking into the pot, appar-
emily for the purpose of detecting what
was the matter, he pulled out the hand
kerchief and returned it to the owner.
He next took the orange from the by
stander and cut it open, when it was
found to be full of juice. He performed
anumber of very pleasant feats, but I
have given enough to satisfy the reader
Tint they are equally as expert as the
Japanese.
