Living Iu New York.

Eli Perkins has been visiting the poor
Of New York. He says:
The first hut We visited was occupied
by sturdy German, his wife, and six
children. The lord Of the mano. was
smoking n cherry pipe. As we passed
into the little 7x6 yard, big bull-pup
made II lunge for us, but soon came to
the end Of his chain, where he hung
with his mouth open. He gnashed his
teeth and invited us to early dinner.
"Git e.o-u-t F" shouted my friend.
"ron't yes pc feared OF mine toggy,
for he is tied very tight nit n stirring, I"
said the German.
Inside the miserable hut were conl
cooking-stove, u bed, n table, aud u good
many pictures Of saints, and two not
very checiul cruciRxions (crucifxions
are never cheerful pictures to mel, A
very pretty German girl was standing
over the stove, while n red-headed boy
sat on the floor md grinned, and the
big.faced mother stood with her sleeves
rolled up to receive us. There We're no
extn chairs, and only one window in
the house.
"Nhat wages do you get, my good
man ?" l asked.
"Yel, works for two tOllnrs for day.

"Why don't you leave this wretched

Of Mr.. Greeley.
"yel, the chiIdcrs are all girls but

Outside, the man had n fine pig, and,

81 love your answered the father.
How calm and happy lay the boy on his
fathers breast. The very peace Of Heaven
was in bis soul.
And now love, more tender than that
ielt for any of his children, was born for
Alfred in bis fathers heart. In his pity
was mingled less Of regret and di,appoint-
mont, and more ofa sweet compassion. He
saw beauty in the thin, colorless face,
and u depth Of meaning in the large, beau
tiiul eyes that he had never seen before.
Thai poor body holds an imprisoned
angel y he said to the mother one day. He
bad come home yexed and out Of humor.
Many things had gone wrong with him.
His heart was full Of angeragainst one who
had crossed bis path and tried to do bin
wrong; and the tcmpter, who knows his
opportunity, was filling his mind with
thoughts Of retaliation.
But when he looked into the face Of Al
fred, and saw its patient sweetness, angry
feelings and evil thoughts vanished like
morning mists In the sunshine. He forgot
the fretting trials Of the day, and was lifted
into Tranquil regions.
"Morc and more, every day, do ! feel
this,n answered the mother. "God is
good to our dear boy, and good to us in
him.n
"And he is only cripple--a helpless
sufferers burden and a care,n said the
father, his voice dropping into tender, re-
gretful tone.
"0h, mol Don'tsay 4 burden and care,n
was quickly replied. alt is my daily de-
light to be with him, and to minister to
his needs. Love gets as sweet a return
now as when he first lay babe upon my
bOsom.n
The years passed on, and Alfred found
his work. 1t was good and great work,
though he knew II not.
"Thcy serve tho Lord who only stand and
walt"
lie did more he stood waiting with a
sweet patience that diHused itseli around
him in sphere MS palpablc to the spiritual
sense rs the odor Of flower is to the nat
uTal sense, and all who came near him felt
the tranquilizing power Of this heavenly
atmosphere. Leon grew to be a strong,
earnest man, active in good deeds. There
was time, as the self-reliant, seli-willed
boy stood on the verge Of manhood, when
passion and pride threatened to mar the
Just proportions Of his forming character ;
but the power Of another life, purcr, sweet
cr, more loving and patient than his, soft
ened his asperities, lifted him into regions
Of clearer sight, and helped him to see and
feel the beauty Of goodness. With hisown
weak hands, Alfred could notm0y the out
side world but he held such power over
the heart Of one whose hands were strong
to do the bidding Of an active mind, that
he made himself widely felt, and always
on tile side Of right and bencticencc.
And not alone through Leon did bis pure
life blossom and find fruitage in the world
Virtue seemed to go out Of him, whenever
a human soul came near enough to draw
from his full.chargcd inner life an electric
current. lfr
Yes, the mother was right; God had a
place in the world for the poor cripple, and
work for him to do, aud the world was bet
ter because Of his life /; poor, inefficient and
ctamped as 1t seemed in the eyes Of all.

Cut into small pieces a pound OF per
