She was standing III Il window looking oui
upon the snow, and upon turning around IL

that, by looking upon the snow with the
sun shining upon it, her eyes became tiaz-

the hurt was not of Il serious nature but

Almost an Accident.

been given them, they might have aliglted
safely, notwithstanding these rather dan
grr"uS and at times slippery aids. But the
train stopped hut an instant, and there be-
ing Il number to get of this particular plat
form, those in the rear crowded upon those
in front, and the consequence was that, to-
gether with the cr0wding and the jar of the
starting train, which occurred just us Mrs.
Carter was stepping off, she was thrown for
ward upon the ground and her child fell
between the cars, almost upon the track.
Her friend and her child were ut the same
tine thrown backwards upon the platform.
Fortunately for Mrs. Carter, her husband
was standing ready To assist her off, and by
his efforts prevented what might have proved
u much more injurious fall. How the child
escaped serious injury is IA marvel, and can
only be explained on the ground that there
is special Providence watching over chill

There is a place in Phila-

the whole city by heart; and
if he knows nothing about
the value of cloths, or of
clothes, he is as well off, as
if he we're a good judge Of

The reason IS that every
thing to be found there is
made therc-madc and sold
under a system which rarely
allows mistakes to occur, and
which corrects them, if they
do occur.
