A WIRES DEvoTIoN.-Woman' de-

Illustrated than in a recent case in New
York city. Patrick Twohey and his
wife, Margaret, have for two years occu-
pied apartments in the seventh story of
a tenement at 81 Park street, and their
drunken quarrels had become so frequent
that the neighbors had come to pay no
attention to them. Recently, when
drunk, TwOhey poured benzine on his
wife's clothes and then set the oil on
fire. The cries of the woman brought
help. and although she was very seri-
ously burned her life was saved. She
told the whole story Of the crime to
those who assisted her. The woman was
taken to the hospital and the brutal
husband to the Tombs. and on the ex-
animation of the woman, who was sup.
posed to be making o death-bed state.
ment, she declared that her husband
was innocent of crime and that the burn
ing was the result of carelessness on he
part. She strongly adhered to this dec
laration, and in this way saved her hus
band from merited punishment.

A CHRISTMAS STORY.

There is a girl, or to speak with rude
precision, ''an old maid, in Boston by
the name Of Jennie Collins. She is
PLAIN, common little person. with the
Yankee thinness of favor, sharpness of
eve and alertness of comprehension She
may be rich, but we guess not. She
used to take an interest in the Labor
movement" and was seen in the state
house, pleading for eight hours and 9TH
er notions But she soon made up her
mind that the poor sewing girls, and
shOp-girls. among whom her lot was cast.
would all 60 to the bad before the Leg
islature did anything for them. She
concluded she would take hold herself.
1t was a rather bold move, for she was
not Beacon street kind of person. Her
fame. as far as she had any. was counted
notOrity rather than good repute, so that
she had no introduction to the full
purses. But she went to work and rails
ed from those who did know her small
sum, with which she opened ''Bof6n's
Bower" and began to give substantial
meals at cost prices to the class above
mentioned. 1t was very humble business
for some time. but it was good work.
She gave her whole attention to it. and
from year to year Bofin's Bower has
beer a growing institution and bless,

within reach of it. Now they are hold.
ing n fair to increase its rcsoursces for
the present winter.
We tell this story just at this time,
because we need men and women who
will give themselves to the alienation of
the condition of the pinched and the
abandoned. There are people enough
who will give money, but money requires
the intelligent mind, the discriminating
Christian sensibility to put it where it
will do the most good. We need places
opened in the poorest regions of this
city, where people can resort. 1t don't
make much difference whether the OPP
portunity for meals is given them (not
to be given away, or merely reading
room, or play-room, or sewing-room,
or sitting room. or a MUSHROOM, or a
place where they can bring thier babies,
or all these opportunities together.
Some place is wanted apart from their
ill-kept homes and the thick-set grog-
shops around. Anybody who will at
tempt to keep open such public room,
or tenement of rooms, to be there, and to
cast around the healing influence of a
pure resort, taking up such duties or
such labors as seem most to be called
for, will do a great work. We doubt
not the money can be easily supplied,
the personal service is the real Christian
sacrifice to be made. 1t will be sure to
do good. to exert SOLDERING and abash-
ing influence on the Modocs and others
in need of civilization, who, under the
influence of better surroundings, will,
