The Beggar Princesses.

There is scarcely day that, if you walk
in the garden of the Luxembourg, you may
not see an elderly and young lady walking
side by side, one sad as the other, both in
deep mourning, now grown rusty Qt has
been nine months since the death of the
imperial prince) both bearing all those thou
sand and one indications of poverty which
strikes the observer. The elderly lady has
grown fat. She had great beauty once.
She has all wrinkles now, more of them fur
rowed by care than by time (though these
are not wanting). She was famous once
for her grace; she now waddles carelessly.
Her elegance was town talk she IS dowdy
grown. She had palace and $4,000 once
she now lives in q miserable garret, with
servants for neighbors, and she is dependent
on charity for daily bread. Mother and
daughter both are princesses the daughter
is a granddaughter of L.etitia Bonaparte
Napoleon |, King Jerome, King Joseph,
King Murat, King Louis were her great
uncles Empress Josephine, Empress Maria
Louise, Queen Hortense were her great
aunts Napoleon Ill, was her second cousin
and yet there are days when If you, a
stranger though you are, were to offer
mother and daughter a five-franc piece they
would take it il they did not they would go
to bed breakfastless, ,dinneress, supperless for
that day. A hard fate2 Nevertheless, nobody,
not even the people who give them aims, pity
them. Pity is withheld, not SO much because
they enjoyed $4,000 annually for eighteen
years without giving one thought to the rainy
days (whose clouds were always visible above
the horizon), but because they had great
share in bringing those rainy days ON France.
One is the wife, the other is the daughter,

What Saved Him.

During the "hard winter" of 1877,
when thirty thousand unemployed workmen
haunted the streets of New York, driven to
beggary or too often theft, man rang the
door-bell of house in one of our large
cities, and asked for something to eat. He
told a glib story of his discharge from a
wooen mill and said he had wife starving
not far away.
The mistress of the house made it rule not
to give aims that winter except after personal
examination of the case of each applicant.
She went to the kitchen and ordered a
substantial meal set before the man, who ate
ravenously. He was young, honest-look-
ing fellow, but there were heavy marks of
dissipation on his face. Suddenly ha drop
ped his knife and fork and sat staring at the
door.
"Who's that ?" he cried. "Johnny,

The lady's little child, girl of three,
had followed her from the nursery, and
stood in her white gown in the doorway, her
fair curls tumbling over her face. The

Rev. Spencer Compton, the earnest evan

France, relates the following incident 4:

evening in my cabin, feeling thoroughly un-
well, as the sea was rising fast, and was
but poor sailor. Suddenly the cry of

feet. l heard trampling overhead, but re-
solved not to go on deck, lest should inter-

poor man. What can l do p / asked my
self, and instantly unlocking my lamp,
held it near the top of my cabin and close to
my bulls eye window, that its light might
shine on the sea, and as near the ship as
possible. In half minutes time | heard
the joyful cry It's all right, he's safe upon

day, however, was told that my little lamp
was the sole means of saving the mans life
it was only by the timely light which shone
upon him that the knotted rope could be
thrown so as to reach him. Christian
worker, never despond, or think there is
nothing for you to do even in the dark and
weary days. Looking unto Jesus, lift w
your light; let it so shine that men may see
and in the bright resurrection morning, wha
