KIND WORD
was spoken i'll two cases, last week 10y the
Boston Herald (Which, by the way, is paper
that is no laggard in cspousing the cause of the
oppressed, which has been the cause of doing
much good, to two poor girls, in whose behalf
the Kind words We're uttered. First, young
girl who served in the capacity of chamber
III aid, at the United States Hotel, was arrested
on suspicion Of stealing $50 from a gentleman
who was stopping there. He went out leaving
his money under his pillow, where he had
placed the night before for safe keeping and was
gone some two or three hours, when happening
| TO remember his money, he returned for it, and
10! the money had taken unto itself wings, and
| flown, no one knew whittier. Not knowing
where 10 lay the blame, it fell on the most de-
| fenccless head which happened to be that of
! the chamber-mad. She was brought before the
| MuOIritai and bp examination only
served to make it appear that she was more
sinncd against. than shining. She was spoken
of as a very respectable girl, and one that en-
| joycd the confidence Of her employer, rs well
as Of every one about the house. The only
ground for suspicion was the fact that she had
charge of the room from which the money was
taken. The court seemed to think that suffi-
cient reason to hold her under $1,000 bonds,
and she was committed to Jail to await her trial
in June next. The Herald then took up her
cause anl called for Good Samaritan to come
and release her. Some of our prominent bust
ness men found while reading the paragraph,
that there was a tender spot way down under
their vests somewhere, which had escaped
hardening amidst all the hurry and hustle of
mercantile life The next day being Sunday,
did not prevent them from coming forward,
and battling her out The prison doors We're
opened and the poor girl returned 10 the hotel,
and remained there until last Friday, when a
wealthy widow lady, living Il few miles out of
town, hearing of her trials, offered her home,
which the girl accepted, and to which she has
gone, followed by good wishes for her future
welfare.
The other case where the Herald was the
means ofturnin@ tears into smiles, was that of n
poor Woodworking slop girl, who went into the
store Of McssrS. jordan, Marsh & Co. to pur-
chase spring suit, with the hard-earned say
ines, she had accun ulated through the winter,
amounting TO So. This was all she possessed.
She had chosen her dress, and the clerk was
cutting it of when putting her hand in her
pocket, she found 10 her horror that her pocket
was empty. some Of the light-tngercd trater-
nifty had taken her portc-monnae with its CON
tents She went home without her dress, and
to work the ncNt morning, no doubt with .
heavy heart The Herald, hearing of her mis-
fortune, printed an account of it. and Messrs
Jordan, Marsh & Co., first knew of the occur
