BILL THE NE WSBOY.

The day was cold and stormy,
Most deserted was the street,
Upon which stood Bill, the ncwsboy
Out in the rain and s!ect,
lie was clad in tattcrcd garments,
And shivcring with the cold,
For he still retained some papers.
That yet remained unsold
He hardly dared to reach his home,
Until he had sold out:
Most benumbcd with cold, the 'Papcl
sy?"
lie tried once more to shout.
I'm stuck" he SAID, and father vii
Bcawful mad to night:
| wonder why he treats me so,
1always have done right"
Thus spoke the boy, Bill Benedict,
Whilca tear fell down his face;
He felt he must 90 home at last
TO his fathers humble place,
That cruel man was waiting
For his stolen child TO come,
TO receive his scantv earnings,
And to spend it all forum.
Alas, for old Phil Benedict,
He's received from Eli his last;
No more will he cry: paper, sir?'
For his ncwsbov days are past
His poor little form had frozen
As he thought to reach his home,
But he found a better one at last
On his Fathers IIeavrly throne.

THE RACE on .Sh.A TIES.

Five dollars and my heart to the
young lady who will beat me in race
across the pond We're the words
spoken one winter evening three
years ago. Each skater paused to as,
certain from whence the voice pro
ceeded. The indistinct form Of a man
conld be seen against the sky, as he
stood on a little knoll that overlooked
Gleason Pond, which was crowded
with merry skaters. Happy voices
merry laughter could be heard on
every hand. All became still in an
instant, when the voice Of the
stranger rang out loud and clear:
Five dollars and my heart to the
Young lady who will beat me across
The pond. Again these were repeat
ed in as ho'l, manly tones as before
WHO Is it? Whe can it be : We're
the excl 4mation heard among the
skaters as they tried in vain to get a
glimpse Of the strangers face.
Just wait minute, girls, said
VIII Bancroft. tie particular beau Of
the evening; wait, and | will try
and zee who he may be.
He may be crazy man escaped
from some lunatic asylum, said timid
little Army Gordon, creeping to the
side of her big brother for protection.
Pshaw YOU little coward, ex-
claimed a beautiful brunette, standing
close by, watching with much inter
est the group gathered around her
and the stranger on the bank.
I'll tell you, said Will, returning.
i think the fellow is none other than
Walter Arlington--he who has lately
graduated at-Coilege, and is so
famous as a skater.
OH exclaimed the lady Just men
toned, and if one had observed her
closely they might have noticed the
color come and 90 on her usually rosy
cheek ; yes, | met him once in I.ew
York last winter, and | know this to

The girls looked one at another,
each seeming to seek the other's
thoughts.
Five dollars and my heart to the
young lady who will beat me in race
across the pom.
We'll, Olive, spoke up several of
the girls, as they looked toward the
right beauty in centre, as if to gain
advice from her on the subject.
I'm off for the ice, said Olive,
striking forward. 1T will be such
fun. Come on, girls.
It's my own opinion said a tall,
thin-looking man with a scorched
looking beard, that the man is an
im-im2oster.
And | believe the ladies would be
better off not to pay any attention to
the scamp, said another fellow with
very high hat and sleek face, who
stood close to the first speaker.
Let Tall hat and Buff Whiskers
stand back if they choose no one
will care : and a sprightly little blue
eyed laesie started after Olive.
If the fellow is handsome, | don't
know but I will go too and another
was added to the small group.

Pale and anxious faces watched oy

A New Invention.

"Bottling daylight " is one of the re-
cent Yankee inventions; and an Ameri-
can named Vanderweyde is the discover
er OF the bottling process. The story

it seldom possible to take portrait,
turned to experimenting, and, after
nearly blowing himself up, conquered
the problem. And he has made light
condenser that produces a photograph
independent of day; in fact as perfect at
midnight as in a merely foggy morning,
OF as perfect as one takes by the GUS
tomary apparatus in the clearest of days.

vention of very great value, and sure to
be in demand all over the world.
