A Chiid's Heart.


The other day a curious old woman
having a bundle in her hand, aud
walking with painful effort, sat
down on curbstep up Woodward
venue to rest. She was curious, be-
cause her garments were neat aud
clean, though threadbare, and curious.
because q smile crossed her wrlnkled
face as children passed her, ltmlght
have been the smile that attracted q
group OF three little cnes, the Oldest
about nine. They stood In row In
front Of the old woman, saying never
q word, but watching her face. The
smile frightened, fingered, aud then
suddenly faded away, and corner OF
her old calico apron went up to wipe
away a tear, Then the Oldest child
stepped forward and askedi
"Aro you sorry because you haven't
got any children 7"
I-I had children once, but they
arc all d--dead |" whispered the old
woman, a sob in her throat.
"l'm awful sorry said the little
girl, a. her own chin quivered. "ld
give you one OF my little brothers.
here, but you see ] haven't Got but
two, and ! don't believe Id like to
spare one
"God bless you child, bless you for
ever |" sobbed the old woman, and for
q full minute her face was buried In
her apron.
"But, I'll tell you what I'll do" So
riously continued the child, "You
may kiss us oil once, and II little Ben
ny lent afraid, you may kiss him four
times, for he's jus. az swee, as candyP
Pedestrians who saw three WELL
dressed children put their arms around
that strange old womans neck and
kiss her, were greatly puzzled. They
didut know the hearts Of children,
and they didu't hear the womon's
words as she rose 10 co.:
"Oh! children, I'm only poor old
woman, believing I had nothing TO
live for, but You have given me
lighter heart than I've had in ten
years. - Lewis.

Loves Ingenuity.

A couple not one hundred miles
from Manchester, carried on their
courtship in rather novel manner
A young man had fallen in love with
the daughter Of his employer but
from certain ideas of wealth, a match
was opposed by the father. The con-
sequence was, that the young man
was forbidden to visit his employers
house. The old gentleman was in the
habit of wearing a cloak, and the
young couple made him the innocent
bearer Of their correspondence. The
lady pinned a letter inside the lining
of the old mans cloak every day, and
when the father went into his count.
ing house and threw of bis cloak, the
lover took out the lady's epistle, read
it, and sent the reply back in the same
manner. Love and ingenuity were
finally successful.

Mr. BEEcHER's EXPERIENCE OF
PoKE-Roor.-We recommend our
readers never to dig poke.root, sup
posing it to be horse radish. We said
to friend at Peekskill, two years ago,
that we wished she would get us some
poke.root, which grew on her place.
We understood that when it was dried
and powdered it was just as good as
purging-powder for cockroaches. She
said she would. Three weeks passed 8
she cent down the root, wrapped up in
q newspaper, and it was brought up
stairs. We saw it and supposed it
was horse.radish. We said : ''Take
it down into the Kitchen This was
done, and some Of it grated to send
up to table. 1t was passed round;
somebody took some, ard said: "This
doesn't taste like fresh root We
said ."Well, it's dead sort of bitter
Another tasted it and did not like it.
and we all concluded to let it alone.
In about eight hours after that time a
more active family you never saw.
Purging, vomiting loss of sight, and
all sorts Of symptoms Of poisoning
came On, and if we didn't have one Of
the most Wa, chfal and merry nights !
Indeed, several physicians sent word
to ascertain exactly the symptoms, in
order to correct their descriptions of
the action of the root. and we were
able to tell them exactly its operation,
first, middle and last. Since then we
have given up all thought OF using
poke.root for horse.radish.-(Chris.
