A young man who had lately been
on three-day's debanch, wandered
Unto the reading room of hotel where
he was well known, sat down, and
stared moodiIy into the street. Pres
emily a little girl of about ten wears
came in, and looked timidly about the
room She was dressed ia rags, but
had sweet, intelligent face that could
scarcely fail to excite sympathy.
There were FIVE persons in the room,
and she went % each begging. One
gentleman gave her fve-cent piece,
and she then went to the gentleman
spoken Of and asked him for a penny,
adding, II have not had anything to
eat for whole day. The gentleman
was out of humor and he said Grossly,
Don't bother me; 60 away; haven't
had anything to eat for three days.
The child opened wide her eyes III shy
wonder, and then turned slowly to-
ward the door, She turned ihe knob,
and then, after hesitating a fe " mo-
ments, walked up TO him, and gently
laying the five cents she had received
upon his knee, and, with a tone of
true girlish pity in her voice, eff you
haven't had anything to eat for three
days, you take this, and go and buy
some bread. Perhaps / can get some
more somewhere" The young fellow
blnshed to the roots of his hair, and
lifting the sister Of charity in lis
arms and kissed her two or three
times in delight. Then he took her
to the persons in the room, and to
those in the corridors and the Office.
and told the story, and asked contri-
buttons. giving himself all the money
ne had with him. He succeeded in
raising over forty dollars, ard sent the
little one on her way rejoicing.
