H0,c Good Is Done.

You know the touching lyric of Long
fellow, which he has called "The Arrow
and the Song" 1t is so familiar that il
looks like an affectation to quote it, but
must indulge myself once by repeating
its sweet lines:
II shot an arrow in the air;
1t fell to earth, knew not where;
For so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow, in in it's flight.
breathed song into the air;
1t fell on earth, knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak
found the arrow still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
found again in the heart of a friend''
This is exquisite. But you observe
that both the arrow and the song were
found just as they had been sent out. The
poet has not told, and no poet can fully
tell, Of the impulses that are given, the
changes that are wrought, and the work
of self sacrifice and devotion that is sug-
gested, by a fitting word dropped at the
righs moment into human soul; and
among the many pleasant surprises that
are in store for us in the upper world will
be the discovery that efforts put forth by
us, and which we supposed to be so
feeble as to be well-nigh worthless, have
been, under God, the germs from which
rich harvests of good have resulted to
multitudes whom VIC have never seen.

Tiny Tim"

Toole was acting in London in The
Christmas Carol" playing Bob Cratchitt.
a little, delicate girl, one of the children
OF the dresser at the theater, whose pale
face and interesting manner fitted her
well for the part, played Tiny Tim. The
sickly little child was favorite in the
theatre, and especially so with Mr.. Toole.
During the performance of the peace, as
the reader may remember, the artists sat
down regularly to supper of roasted
goose and plum-pudding, which was. in
the present instance, genuine material.
Toole was in the habit OF chopping the
viands up and giving them to the chill
dren performing, and they, when they
had eaten the first helping returned. like
Oliver, for more.
Tiny Tim. however, like Benjamin, APP
peared to eat seven times as much as her
brethren. She was first to return her plate,
she eat more than an ordinary adult could
eat of goose, supplementing this colossal
repast with plum pudding enough for
half dozen. Toole gradually felt an
aversion growing in him for the child
Her pallor and sickness seemed to him
suspiciously allied with indigestion, the
first fruits of gluttony He struggled
against this feeling for time, but it
mastered MIN. and he could NOT think
kindly of the little one. One day. in
tit OF disgust, he sawed off piece of meat
and bones from the savory bird. and flung
1t into her plate with piece Of plum
pudding, which left little for the others,
hoping that for once the child would be
satisfied. But she wasn't. With pune
tuality worthy of landlord, she return
ed tor more. Toole was shocked.
"My DEAR said he, ''you will make
yourself sick if you eat so much, l gave
you enough for three or four big boys.
You could not have eaten it in this time.
Where are the bones?" he added, looking
at the empty plate.
The poor child hung her head. Toole
spoke again rather sharply.
"Please, SIR" sobbcd Tiny Tim INV
,1.tle sisters ate it''
And, following the direction other eyes
toward the wings, there he saw Il hungry
little horde Of ragamutfins pitching into
the Christmas cheer with an energy that
indicated how much they needed it.
A light was let in upon him. Little
Tiny had been filling the stomachs of
her hungry little brothers and sisters,
and not her own. She never took another
grudged morsel from the table. Toole
told the story to Dickens, who list
ened attentively, and, at its conclusion,
with burst of warm enthusiasm. cried ::
Give her the whole goose and half the
plum pudding next time and if the ac-
tor did not follow the warm hearted nov
elist's instructions to the letter, be acted
up to the spirit of them, and Tiny's fami-
ly never lacked square meal during the
run of the piece-Erchonge.

until the water became black with mud
and he came out with his own color.
Then the great Spirit laid before them
three packages, and out of pity for his

Ceremonies II. Detroit.

Some women are 10th to credit their
husbands with good intentions, or to give
them the credit due their genius and en-
terprise. Such woman lives on Adams
avenue. She was fairly crazy about GER
amics, but in the midst Of her pottery dec
orations she was summoned to New Eng
land to see dying relative. Her hus-
band, good soul, decided to ceramic that
house to the most complete extent during
her absence, and he invested enough
money in fancy transfer pictures to have
bought his winters coal. He pasted old
Roman heads on the newell posts, Dor
dered the edges of stairs, had a paper
monkey climbing up each leg of the ex-
tension table, pasted an alligator on each
panel of every door, had sailors tumbling
over each other on the water-pitcher, ran
border along the base board of the par
lor, pasted the teapot with red roses, bor-
dered all the mirrors with lean dogs run
ming after fat rabbits, and gummed the
head of a trotting horse on the back of
every chair. The panels in the bedsteads
blossomed with CRATES reaching out for
weeping willows, and serpents trained
around the legs of the piano shot mad
glances at small mules with their heels in
the air.
Some men would have stopped here
and waited to be patted on the back and
encouraged to go ahead. This man wait
ed only long enough to lay in new sup
ply of pictures and make some paste. He
whacked dozen giraffes on the tea-kettle
two or three of whom seemed intent on
going up the spout, fastened an elephant
to thehandle of the spider and made the
stove-boiler fairly howl with its burden
of camels marching up and down with
their backs all bumped up. When every
door knob had been ornamented with the
phiz of Queen Elizabeth and the family
camphor bottle had been made the ground
work for a spanish bull-fght the hus-
band threw the shears ana four knives,
two spoons and his paste-pail over the
ally fence and waited for his wife's re-
turn. She arrived the other day. He
sent her nome in carriage from the de-
pot, and waited an hour or SO before fol-
lowing her. When he thought she had
time to thoroughly inspect his work he
went home. Several boys we're playing
on the walk, and as the husband was I'M
locking the front door they saw wo-
mans hand suddenly reach out, seize his
collar and haul him in, and as his
heels twinkled in the air voice filled
with emotion called out:

They are in scrape at that house
they are scraping ceramics from earth in

Asking Of people, who passed the Whsfe,
Which road had better take to the maI'
And some said, Keep straight up the nah';

And others said, All the roads are BAD
And couldn't get there whatever hau;
And, trying to get it straight in my hesd;

You can't fail to find it, john,

Ifyour route lay thus or SO;
But, How is your wheat, Johns
Never, By which road?
So lose no time in casting out
The bad wheat from your load.
When half-a-dozen sermons,
Pointing half-a-dozen ways,

Meets your anxious, puzzled gaze,
Rest assured you'll find the City
