Love for Love.


Ragged, dirty, ugly He had fall
len in the muddy gutter; his hands
and face were black his mouth wide
and open, and sending forth sounds
not the most musical. A rough hand
lifted him up, and placed him against
the wall. There he stood, his tears
making little cutters down his be
grimed cheeks. Men, as they passed,
laughed at him-not caring for mo-
ment to stop and inquire if he was
really hurt. Boys halted moment
to jeer and load him with their in
suits. Poor boy! he hadn't friend
in the world that he knew of. Ger
tainly, he did not deserve one; but if
none but the deserving had friends,
how many would be friendless!
A lady is passing kindness Of
heart prompts her to stay and say a
kind word to the boys who are Joking
their companion and laughing at his
sorrow. Then she looked fxedly at
the dirty, crouching lad against the
wall.
"Why, John, is it you ?"
He removes one black fist from his
eye and looks up. He recognizes
her. She has taught him at the rag
ged school.
go, ma'am, I'm so bad !"
She has him examined, then taken
to the hospital. Afterward she visits
him kindly and frequently.
A year passes by.
There is fire one night. A dwell
ing house is in flames. The engine
has not yet arrived The inmates
cannot be rescued. A boy looks on.
Suddenly he shouts
"Oh, she lives here y
Then he climbs up the heated, fall
ing stairs. He fights against the suf-
locating smoke. He hunts about till
he finds what he sought. She has
fainted-is dying, perhaps. No! he
he will save her. Five minutes of
agonizing suspense, and she is safe in
the cool air.
The bystanders are struck with the
intrepidity Of the boy. He only walks
away, muttering:
"She didn't turn away from me
when | was hurt"
Oh, friends, the stone looks very
rough, but it may be diamond.

The Bsiness Outlook.
From the Pittsburgh Comm erelal

From the Pittsburgh Commercial.
The Philadelphia Commercial List
of Saturday last notes as an unsatis.
factory indication of trade, that local
and Western buyers purchase only for
immediate wants. But why should
they be expected to do otherwise? Re-
tailers have not enough confidence in
present prices to buy ahead of their
Immediate wants; and it is better they
should buy often, and be able to pay
every time, than that they shoul buy
largely at first and run the risk of los
ing. We do not regard this as an nm
healthy indication at all, but as just
the reverse. ltshows caution and pru.
dence, and the total absence of a
speculative spirit, and that is the first
step toward the establishment of legiti-
mate business. The Commercial list
adds
"There is general disposition not
only on the part of the merchants, but
the balance of the community, to live
prudently and make a more profitable
use Of their means. Capital continues
abundant and cheap at all the great
business centers, as just at the moment
there is no safe and profitable outlet
for it."
The Boston Commercial List speaks
in a similar vein, and its comments
confirm the view taken by US upon
the same subject yesterday. 1t says:
GA few Western dealers have made
their appearance in the boot and shoe
market, and in this department we
may hear of come activity before the
month closes. But from the informa-
ton that we gather from exchanges,
and on our rounds among business
men, we look for very quiet Summer.
A large number of people are out OF
employment, capital is accumulating
in the banks, and collections are very
hard to make. Values of wares and
merchandise are still shrinking, and
until the cost of manufacturing is
brought down more in keeping with
the prices of goods, capitalists will
hesitate about embarking in new in.
dustrial enterprises. Business ex-
penses generally are too high, land re.
duction Of rents and salaries must be
made before healthy revival can
take place"
From this the conclusion is deduct
BILE that, commercially, we are in a
transition state from initiation and
speculation to the more solid founda-
tions of actual and genuine business;
and while in this condition it is idle
to look for anything but cautious
and hesitatng trade. When we get
down to hard-pan we shall feel that
we have got upon firm footing, and
thenceforward everything will pro-
coed more prosperously. Patience
and faith will save us from anything
like dependency, if we give them full
play.

"WilI you part with this child to me"
Then the mother casped to her loving heart .
Her darling, innocent boy.
She was poor and needy enough, God wot
But he was her hearts own joy.
Mrs. Ftz s. drew her purse, and the gold therein

And the child was soon her own
While the widow she turned away her he i'd

And the halls Of Ftz smythe Sc emed CHEEKY an

And like young rooster crowed!

And her face deep grief expressed,

az Iceland has been terribly af-
ficted with volcanic eruption DUR
ing the past few months, preceded by
violent earthquakes. On the 18th OF
March ashes fell in such enormous
quantities that the sun wasvailed and
the neighborhood of the Myronth
Mountains shrouded in darkness.
The fountains and streams were dam
med up with drifting ashes, the farms
and the pasturage destroyed, and the
inhabitants with their focks driven
to other partg. 1t is thought this
flight will facilitate the pending eff
forts to secure the emigration of
these people to Alaska.

How TO KEEP A SITUATION. BE
ready to throw in an odd half hour or
an hours time when it will be an ac-
commodation, and don't seem to make
il a merit. Do it heartily. Though
not word be said, your employer
will make a note of it. Make your
selves indispensable to him, and he
will lose many of the opposite kind be
fore he will part with you. Those
young men who watch the clock to
see the very second their working
hour is up; who leave, no matter what
state the work may be in, at precisely
the instant; who calculate the extra
amount they can slight their work,
and yet not get reproved; who are
lavish of their employers goods, will
always be the first TO receive notice,
when times are dull, that their services
are no longer required.

HINTS ABOUT BAKING For bis
cults the oven should be equally hot
when they are put in, but should
begin to cool little before they are
taken out; this makes them very light,
but one has to watch to keep them
from being scorched; eight minutes
are enough to bake them; if baked
with such a fire as that required for
bread, they are heavy. For gems
made of Graham flour and water, or
for corn bread, the oven should be
very hot; but the fire should have
been built some time before they were
put in, and begin to go down by the
time they are light; for if the oven, re-
mains as hot as was necessary to
make them rise, they will burn before
they are thoroughly cooked through.
Bread requires much slower fire,
but it should be even and steady from
first to last.
