LITTLE SUNBEAM.

as the western bound train swept into q
little station on the New York Central.
1t is amusing to see the manner in
which the various occupants Of rail-
road train receive these little merchants,
who swarm through the cars in the win
ter green season. Here q rough old
bachelor, with spectacles on his nose,
hold up his paper persistently to shnt
ont the young yender from his view;
there a scented exquisite waves them
away with a j welled hand, and goes on
staring at the ladies who are getting
out at The station. These are not
the men to regard the necessities of the
poor; and it is only those who have felt
the grinding hand Of poverty who can
feel for those who are set walking the
valley Of the SHADOW,
But somehow the liquid sweetness Of
the voice charmed more than one, and
curious looks were cast down the pas
sage between The seats and this is what
they saw:
A girl about twelve years Of age, Of
snooIing h,ne oycs and nrofnsion Of
nut.broWn curls, which the wind, blowing
through the open window, lifted up aud
ioTs nol;cnt loni; in hor vnn,a f,ra
which was almost womanish, as she
looked from side to side for purchasers.
