how, having plenty of money, he WAS

caught and imprisoned with the worst

EDITH WARREN.
a TALE OF TIE REVOLUTION.

About quarter of a mile from Col
iybark's Point, ON beautiful little
knoll, stood, in the time Of the Rcvolu
tion, a nest and pretty (for in those
days it was very pretty American farm
lonse, which was Inhabited by an old
native whom We shall cali Adam War
rrn, his ''beticr monty" and two lovely
daughters, just budding into woman
hood. From the piazza or Tie house the
view of the surrounding uutry was
beautiful. The Inajrs,ic Hudson,
short distance from the duuway-the
Ii ghlands, and the tall trees with their
rich foliage made it a sc,no almost en-
c',anting, The quiet aud peace OF the
GOOD old farmers were not disturbed in
. those days by the noise OF steamboa!,
and uther river craft; holy calm per-
vadcd all around, aud nature seemed
fairly intoxicated with her own lowell
ness.
Close By the kitchen loor Of the farm
house was well, which was said tn be
over an hundred feet deep; at the bot
tom Of which old gossips shrewdly hin
ted that "luts of gold" was buried to
prevent its getting into the hands of the
British aud Hessians. Adam Warren's
house was two stories high, very large
and commodious, with plenty of room
for his family, and more to spare 'for
company" In tl,oSe days painters and
carpenters. were not so plenty as they
are now, you probably know, gentle
reader, and therefore Adam Warran was
prevented from having the external ap-
pearance of his house looking just as he
wanted it-for he was man of very
great taste, and rather upper ten.thou-
.sandish in his views
1t was the close of the last day of the
summer of 1888, that our story common

Twenty Years of vice.

Many years ago, celebrated Italiua
artist was walking along the streets of
his native city, pcrplexcd and dcspoud-
ing i'll consequence OF son e irritating
circumstances or misfortune, when lie
bch,ld little bny OF such surprising
beauty that he forgot his own trouble
and gloom in looking upon the angelic
face before him.
THAT face must have" said the
artist, ''fcr my studio. VIII you come
to my room and sit for a picture, my
ii'tic ann" .as- &
I he l,tle hey was glad to go and sec
the ctnrcs and pencils and curious
things in the artists room, and he Was
still more pleased when he saw what
seemed to bc another boy, looking just
like himself. smiling from the artists $
canvass.
The artist took great d,al Of pleas
mc IN looking at the sweet, innocent
face. When he was troubled, or rrita-
ted, or perplexcd, he lifted lis eyes to
THAT lovely image on the wall, and its
beautiful, hopeful features and expression
GAINED dis heart and made him happy
again. Many visitor to his studio
wished to purchase that lovely face !;
but, though poor, and often in want of
money to buy food aud clothes,
lie would not sell his good angel, rs he
called this portrait.
So years went on. Oftentimcs, as he
looked up to the face on that glowing
canvass, lie wondered what had become
of that boy.
Glow should like to see how lie
looks now wonder if should know
him. Is he good man and true, or
wicked aud abandoned? or has he died
and gone to better world?"
One day the artist was sirolling down
one of the iuc walks Of the city, when
lie behcld a young man whose face and
micn were SO vicious, 50 dcpraved, so
almost iiend like, that lie inyoluntarily
stopped and gazcl at him
What spectacle should like to

artist to himself
The young man asked the painter FOR
money for he was boggar as we'll as
thief.
Come to my room and let mo paint
your portrait, and | will give you all
you ask, = said the artist.
The young man followed the painter
und sat for sketch. When it was flu
ishcd and he had received few coins
for his trouble, he turned to go, when
his eyes rested upon the picture of the
hoy he looked at it, turned pale, and
then burst into tears
"What troubles you man ?" asked the
painter.
1t was long before the young man
could speak. He sobbcd aloud, and
seemed pierced with agony. At last he
pointed to tho picture on the wall, and
in broken tones, which seemed to como
from n broken heart, said:

his oay into one Of our principal hotels

He sat down to dinner, and being re-

pressed a desire for some baked beans.
This was brought him, and from the
gusto with which they were oaten, evi-

plate was cleared in an incredibly short
space OF time; and the attentive waiter
was at his side.

guest announced his decision:

took away the empty plate, 'you would

night. closed the window. Imagine
their feelings, after the heat and excite
mcnt of the preceding hours were over,
on beholding the corpse of her who was
to them all they held dear on earth. On
gazing on her cold, clammy brow, an icy
tremor ran through the veius of Eliza,
and sho sank back in chair, her lips
colorlcss, and her checks as white and
pale as marble. Edith stood for mo-
ment speechless but, recovering herself,
she ran up to her, fell upon her knees,
and as she impressed a kiss upon her
clay cold lips, uttered that sweet and
holy word, Mother ~
The sun rose mild aud beautiful next

of death and sorrow.
