Calling the FerrYman.

They reached the river, the father and
his little daughter, late in the evening
The woods through which they had pass
ed reached to the very brink and as the
night was very cloudy and very dark
the woods seemed to render the gloom
profoundly deep. Faraway on the oppo-
site shore was here and there small
twinkling light in the small, scattered
houses; while farther off still were the
bright lamps Of the great city, whittier
they were going The little child was
weary and sleepy, and chilled by the
evening air. Nothing but urgency would
have induced the father to be out with
her thus. As they came to the ferry they
found the boat on the other side, where
the ferryman lived othe father shout
cd and called, but no voice answered
then he would walk to and fro and speak
to his child, and try to comfort her; then
he would call again and again At length
they saw little light move, and heard
the moving Of the boat. Nearer and

''It's very dark, and | cannot see the

No, little one but the ferryman knows
the way, and we shall soon be over and
then soon at home in the city, where will
be light and fire."
"Oh, | wish We were there father"
Slowly and gently the boat swung of
into the stream, and though it was dark
and the river seemed to run fast they
were carried safely over, and the child
soon forgot her great fear.

About Gloves.

The rearing of kids for the sake of
their skins is in certain parts of Europe
an important business, those which COM
mand the highest prices, and regarded
as superior to all others, being the
French, called in the market 'Pcour
notioaolis.D BY some the fine quality
of these skins is attributed to a peculiar
virtue in the wild vines upon which the
young ones feed in the pasturage which
they frequent, this. however, being a
popular error, as their value is simply
the result of the care with which the
little animals are reared during their life
of four or five weeks. They are not al
lowed to roam at large, as such license
would imperil the evenness of their skins
which would become scratched by rub
bing against stones or rocks, or passing
through hedges.
They are, besides, deprived of all foot
except milk, as eating grass would tenC
to render their skins coarse. Conse
quently they are kept under wicker
coop, from which at regular hours they
are led to suckle the mother, and thil
continues until they are killed, at th'
end of four or FIVE weeks.
The younger they are killed the thin
ner the skin, but, of course, the smaller
they are the less valuable too, especial,
when they are only large enough to al

demand is all for two, three and four
buttoned gloves BY rearing the kid
in the manner just described, large
delicate as those of younger ones o
other countries where they roam al
liberty.
As France produces the best skins, SC
Paris oxcels all places in France where
gloves are manufactured, and an adept
in the trade can select Paris-madt
glove from among hundreds made else
where.
In addition to the skill of the dyers
the beauty of the shades or colors is at
tributcd to some virtue in the water of !;

In short time after they landed she
reached her home, where loving arms re-
ceived herr where the room was warm
with fire and flooded with light. On the
bosom of love she rested, and her chills
and terrors passed away.
Some months after, this same little
child had come to another river, darker,
deeper, and more still.
1t was the river Of Death When she
first came near it, the air seemed cold
and darkness covered it, and all seemed
like night,
The same loving father stood near her,
distressed that his child must cross this
river and he not be able to accompany
her For days and nights he had been,
with her mother, watching oyer. her and
leaving her bedside only long enough to
take his meals and pray foithe life Of
his. precious child.
FOR hours She had been umberine
very comfortably, and it seem a aa if her
spirit must pass away witholg her wax
ing again; but just before Il morning
watch she suddenly awoke, with the eye
bright, the reason uncloadeaI md every
faculty alive.
a sweet smile was playing her beau
tiful face.
Father, | have come againte the river
side, and | am again Warrington the fer
ryman to come and carry Uncover it."
Does it seem dark and cold, as it did
when we crossed the river?'
"Oh no. There are no dark, gloomy
trees here The river is not black, but
covered with floating silver The boat
coming toward me seems to be made of
solid light; and though the ferryman looks
dark | am not afraid of him.
Can my child see across the river 2"
"Oh, yes, but instead of the little
twinklng light here and there as before,
| can see a great and beautiful city food
ed with light and glory. | can see no
sun, no lanp;no moon, and no stars, but
it is full of light. All | hear music,

And thus she crossed the dark river

Of the blessed Redeemer The father
and mother wept, but joy and sorrow
mingled in their tears They could al
most see the golden gate open to receive
their loved one and they understood the

FOUND DEAD.

Found dead dead and alone
There was nobody near. nobody near,
When the outca~t died ON his pillow OF stone
No mother. no brother. no sister dear,
Not n friendly voice to soOthc or cheer,
Not a watching eye nor pitNing tear
O. the city slept when he died alone
In the rootless street, on pillow OF stone!
Many Il weary day went by,
While wretchcd and worn he begged for bread,
Tired of life and longing to lie
Peacefully down with the silent dead;
Hunger and cold, and Scorn and pain,
Had wasted his form aud scared his brain
TIL at last on bed of frozen ground,
With pillow of stone was the outcast found
Found dead, dead and alone,
On pillow of stone i'll the rooflesS street,
Nobody heard his last faint moan,
Or knew " hen his sad heart ceased to beat,
No mourner fingered with tears or sighs,
But the stars looked down with pitving eyes,
And the chill winds passed with wailing sound
O'er the lonely spot where his form was found
| Found dead yet not alone.
| There was somebody near, somebody near,
| To eli i'm the wanderpr as His own,
| And find home for ihe homeless here
/ One when every human door
| Is closed to His children seorned and poor,
! Who opens the heavenly portal wide
| All! God was near when the outcast died.
