tucked snugly up in bed in the spa
cious nursery above the stairs, Mrs.
Audley told her husband why she
was interested in the fate of man
whose face she had not seen for TWEEN
ty years.
"That's right, my little wife, said
herAusband, folding her fondly to his
breast, when the simple tale was con-
cluded, "never forget one who has been
kind to you in the days when you
needed kindness most"
Ralph Moore was sitting the self:
same night in his poor lodgings, beside
his ailing wifes sick bed, when a liv,
cried servant brought note from the
rich and prosperous bank director,
Charles Audley.
"Good news, Bertha" he exclaimed,
joyously, as he read the brief words.
I'VE shall not starve-Mr. Audley
promises me the vacant situation"
"You have dropped something from
the note, Ralph" said Mrs. Moore,
pointing to slip of paper that lay on
the floor.
Moore stopped to recover the estray.
1t was fifty dollar bill neatly folded
in piece of paper, on Which was
written.
in grateful remembrance of the
silver quarter that kind stranger be-
slowed on the little chestnut girl,
twenty years ago"
Ralph Moore had thrown his morsel
of bread on the waters of life, and
after many days it had returned to
him.

The crimson window curtains were
closely drawn to shut out the storm
and tempest of the bleak December
night-the fire was glowing cheerily
in the well-flled CRATE, and the dinner
table, all in glitter with cut glass,
rare china, and polished silver, was
only waiting for Mr.. Audley.
"What con it be that detains papa?"
said Mrs. Audley, a fair handsome
matron of about thirty, as she glanced
at the dial of tiny enameled watch.
Six o'clock, and he does not make his
appearance"
"There's a man in the study,
mamma - come on business" said
Robert Audley, a pretty boy, eleven
years old, who was reading by the fire.
oI1l call him again" said Mrs.
Audley, stepping to the door.
But, as she opened it, the brilliant
gas light fell full on the face of an
humble looking man in worn and
threadbare garments, who was leaving
the house, while her husband stood in
the doorway of his study, apparently
telieved to be rid of his visitor.
"Charles," said Mrs. Audley, whose
cheek had paled and flushed, "who is
that man-and what does he want9'

Unwilling TO go TO Heaven

There was a clergyman who often
became vexed at finding his little
grandchildren in his study. One day
one of these little children was stand
ing by his mother and she was speak
ing to him of Heaven.

"Please sir, will you buy my chest
nuts?"
"Chestnuts No y returned Ralph
Moore, looking carelessly down on the
upturned face, whose large brown eyes
Swallowed by tangled curls of haxen
hair, were appealing so pitifully to his
own. "What do l want with chest
nuts?n
"But please, sir, do buy EN-
pleaded the little one, treasured by the
rough kindness of his tone. "Nobody
seems to care for them, and-and-"
She fairly burst into tears, and
Moore, who had been on the point of
brushing carelessly past her, stopped
instinctively.
Are you very much in want Of the
money :"
Indeed sir, we are" sobbed the
child; "mother sent me out, and
NAY, little one, don't cry in such
heart broken way, said Ralph, smooth
ing her hair with careless gentleness.
81 don't want your chestnuts, but
here's a quarter for you, if that will
do YOU any good"
He did not stay to hear the delight
ed. incoherent thanks the child poured
out through rainbow of smiles and
tears, but strobe on his way, muttering
between his teeth:
b "That cuts off my supply of cigars
for the next twenty-four hours. l
don't care though, for the brown-eyed
object really did cry as if she hadn't
n friend in the world. Hang it |
wish I was rich enough to help every
poor creature out Of the slough Of
despond." !
While Ralph Moore was indulging
in these very natural reflections, the
dark orbed little damsel whom he had
confronted was dashing down the
streets with quick, elastic footsteps,
utterly regardless of the basket of UNI
sold nuts that still dangled on her
arm. Down an obscure lane she dart
ed, between tall, ruinous rows of hous-
cs, and up narrow wooden staircase
to room where pale, neat looking
woman, with large brown eyes, like
her own, was sewing as busily as if
the breath of life depended upon every
stitch, and two little ones were con-
teptedly playing in the sunshine that
temporarily supplied the place of the
absent fire.
"NIary back already? Surely
you have not sold your chestnuts so
soon?"
ooh, mother, mother, see y cjacu-
lated the brcathlcss child. "a gen.
tleman gave me a whole quarter =
Only think, mother, whole quarter"
If Ralph Moore could have seen the
rapture which his tiny silver gift diff
fused around it, in the poor widows
poverty stricken home, he would have
grudged still less the temporary pri-
walton of cigars to which his gener-
osity had subjected him.

MARSEILLES ITEMS.
MARsEILLRs, Nov. lG.

MARsErLLss, Nov. lG.
About six weeks ago, the Assistant Super
intendent of the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific railroad issued an order instructing the
station agents of Marseiles, Ottawa, Utica, La
Sale and Peru, to sell tickets 70. freight trains
Nos. 10 and -, at any of the aforesaid sta
tons; and said order contained clause ad.
dressed directly to all conductors of SAID
freight trains, requiring them to carry all pas
sengers holding tickets. We sincerely thank
the Assistant Superintendent for that order,
believing that his intentions were to accommo.
date the citizens of the aforesaid towns and
cities, and, undoubtedly, he will be surprised
to hear that the order is entirely ignored by
some conductors. We are compelled to run
the same risk of not beng carried, or of being
carried past our station that we were before
the order was issued. We buy tickets and
then have it at our option to not ride at all,
or jump off while the train is going at the
rate of eight or ten miles an hour. Some con.
ductors are gentlemanly, and from true sp.
appreciation of their position, obey the order
ef their superiors; others arc mere BEARS
bearing the resemblance of men. and by acct
dent being clothed with little authority, pre-
sumo to disobey orders, and practice despioa.
bic tyranny over the travelling public, think.
ing thereby to impress the natives with the
idea that they are great men, and that no au.
thor!ty exceeds their own.
The great mass believe these despicable
practices arc carried on with the full knowl.
EDGE and consent of the Superintendent, and
IN consequence he gets many cursing which
he does not merit; therefore, we deem IL DIN.
IT, not only to the public, but to him, to OK.
pose the tyrants and bring 1t to his KNOWLEDGE
in this public manner, in order that he NAV
redeem the character of the company, which
is rapldiy sinking into unpopularity.
