the worst place, and | don't know how
| shall conceal it; perhaps | can drape
my sash gracefully over it, pinning 1t
tight to the skirt beneath the loops, and
it wont look SO dreadful. Oh dear!
after all, the worst thing about it is that
I've worn it half dozen times already,
and every body knows it, and will say,
There comes Nettie Locke in her old
blue again."
This last thought was SO narrowing,
Nettie couldn't restrain few tears, and
they fell, drip, drip, on the old blue"
and added another stain to its already
damaged beauty.
Right on the bosom, too," Nettle
said, drying her tears quickly. "How-
ever, it isn't so bad / can cover it
with some natural roses"
She sat down on the bed beside the
still lovely dress-though it had Ger
tainly seen its best days-and pinned a
flower here and ribbon there, singing
softly the while one Of Strauss's exquis-
lite waltzes. The delicious air she was
singing took her thoughts captive pres
emily, and carried them far away from
the present and all it's perplexities. She
dropped the flowers, rich ribbons, and
laces from her listless hands, as men
tai vision passed before her of the COM
lag ball-a vision of fair young girl
in a cloud of mist-like tulle and rosy
blossoms; a vision alluring as Aurora
herself when she comes through the
gates of the dawn, scattering roses and
dewy diamonds in the pathway Of the
day god a vision that brings a flush to
her cheeks and a sparkle to her eyes.
She sees the tender light in her lovers
eyes as he bends to tell her how fair she
is in his eyes and in the eyes of all men;
she hears the passionate sweetness of
waltz and galop, the passionate sweet
ness of whispered words and low re-
plies; but above the music of the
bands, above the sweeter music of her
lovers voice, above the sound of laugh
ing voices and dancing feet, she hears
a cry for help and succOr. She gave a
last deciding look at the old blue, with
its stains of wines and sweets and a
last despairing thought to the vision of
herself, radiant, beautiful, in heecy tulIe
and rosy blossoms then drew her purse
from her pocket She choked back a
few rising sObs, but resolutely counted

Mamma" she said, us she seated
herself at the luncheon table, Il am
going to wear the old blue, after all !;
and if Phil doesn't like me in it-well,
can't hel p it,"
Phil will like you in any thing, I
fancy" her mother said, smiling. g But
why have you abandoned the diaphan-
Gus robe that was to be SO becomingw

laugh and a sob, | am going to use my

softly, " | can only echo your fathers

A Street Firm.

A boy and girl, aged II and Is respect
lively, named Reedy, attracted consider
able attention about Penn street hotels
and in the vicinity of various public re-
sorts. The girl has her apron gathered
in bag-like shape in front of her, into
which is piled and packed any refuse
she happens to see on the pavements or
in the cutters. The other day she had
two soft and spelling cantelopes, lot
Of tobacco stems, old paper, horseshoe,
and a few other articles The boy had
his pockets full Of cigar stubs, and he
is generally very busy hunting for them.
The twain are always together. The boy,
in reply to questions, said: eve Just
goes out and gets all we can git ri ght
and that amt in a wrong way. Don't
must 60: just goes out ourselves, don't
We sis? We goes all about and gifts
what we can git. Amt got no shoes
and no good clothes; must do something
to git along. We kin find many things
in the cutters that the people don't know
nothin' about. We can sell what we
find. Amt many lookin' the cutters as
we does. 0, no. It's new business.
| smoke, [ do. She eats the cantdelopes.
Man civ us these. Ifyou've got couple
of pennies We'll take 'em, won't we, sis p
While the boy was talking the girl was
munching her melon, and when her
opinion was asked she smiled, nodded,
and said: @"That's all right, Tommy"
And the unfortunate waits went down
street with one half Of their attention to
the pavement and the other half to the
gutter. 1t was a picture of one phase of
city life, anyhow

Louis A,lolphp Thiers

The death of eX President Thicrs is great misfortune jo France. He has fallen in har- ness in the cighty-hrst year of his active old age The leader of that Republican party upon whose mighty shoulders rests the sc- curity and well-being of France, his death may shake its internal harmony. In the face of thc great peril that threatens France, it is sincerely to be hoped that such result will not follow. The death of Thiers was caused hy apoplexy. His suffcrings were apparent ly slight No event short coup detat or a Communist rising could have created so pro found an impression throughout France. It's effect on the present political crisis can not yet be properly weighed. Gambetta is now without a rivalin the Republican party. but his advanced views are so alarming to the Left Center, that the Republican party, as whole will probably seek to counteract the evil effects of Thiers removal, by put ting forward Grcvy, ex-Prcsident of the Chamber of Duputics, as a candidate for the succession to the presidency. in the event of President MacMahon's retirement.
