Norton street was not a fashionable
street, nor was the two story dwelling
occupied by William Lowe either hand
some or costly. 1t was marked, how
ever, by an air of neatness which indi-
Gated that its tenants were not regard
less of outward appearance.
We will take the liberty of introduce
ing you into the little sitting room,
where Mrs. Lowe and her children are
even now seated. A plain serviceable
carpet covered the floor, and the re-
mainder of the furniture, though OF a
kind which would hardly be selected
for a drawing-room, had comfortable
home.like appearance, which simply
satisfied the desires of those who de-
rived their happiness from his her and
less mutable source than outside show.
Mrs. Lowe was seated in a rocking
chair, engaged in an employment which
I am aware is tabooed in all fashionable
society-I mean darning stockings.
Emma, girl of ten was brushing up
the hearth, which the ashes from the
CRATE, in which blazing fire was now
barning, had somewhat disordered,
while Mary, who was two years young
er was reading. Charley, n little rogue
of five, with smiling face which
could not help looking rogueish, was
stroaking the cat the wrong way much
to the disturbance of poor Tabby who
had quietly settled down to pleasant
dreams upon the hearth rug.
All at once knock was heard at
the door.
Emma said the mother, you may

invite them in, for it is cold day.
Emma obeyed her mothers direc-
tions.

"NoT AT HOME"

Pious and benevolent people who
contribute money towards the conver-
sion of the heather will be- rather sur
prised to learn.that civilized England is
offsetting some of the work of fthe mis-
sioparies by sending manufactured idols
to India to be forwarded to the wor-
shipers of Buddha. At least, this is
the story that New Yorker, who is
fresh from the countries where idol
worship is at its height, tells reporter.
These idols are made in Birmingham,
and are called "Brummagen gods and
find ready market among the Hindoes.
They are ranged along the shop shelves
and are just as much recognized
article of commerce in that country as
chilldren's toys are in this. The gen.
tleman says that vessels arrive in the
ports there with boxes of heather gods
on one deck and Bibles on the other.
1t will strike the average reader that
the missionaries would do well to put
in some hard work in Birmingham first,
and then perhaps their labors would be
less arduous in the heather countries.

A railroad switch, entirely different
from anything heretofore known, has
been invented. 1t is operated by lev
crs, controlled by the engineer in the
cab of the locomotive, which, striking
a balance wheel. between the rails oppo-
site the switch, throws it open or closes
it, as the case may be, shifting the
rails to one side or the other as the en-
gineer pleases. The inventor claims
that the switch can be operated sue
cessfully when train is going at the
rate of sixty miles an hour, and thinks
it is destined to create revolution in
the system of rail-shiftiug. He has
shown it to Superintendent Kendrick of
the Old Colony railroad, who regards
it favorably, and will probably have it
tried at different points along the road.

mot AT HOME. /"

An elderly man, shabbily dressed,
was seen stalking through one of the
fashionable streets in large city one
cold December morning, supported by
a large staff which he graspcd firmly in
one hand, while from his other swung
q bundle wrapped in coarse cotton
handkerchief. His coat. was of coarse
gray, and had evidently seen hard SER
vice, though still perfectly whole and
neat. The traveller walked slowly
along, as I have said, examining care
fully as he passed the names on the
door-plates. lie finally paused before
dwelling of snowy eSlerior, which, if
we may credit the testimony of the
plate upon the door, was occupied by
Alexander Beaumont.
"Alexander Beaumont yes, that's
the house," murmured the traveller to
himself, as he asccnded the steps and
rang the door bell.
His summons was answered by a
servant, who, after moments scruti-
ny, which apparently was not of very
favorable character, said roughly;
"Well, sir, what do you wsut!"

the old man, without needing the inten-
tional rudeness.

Il think it very doubtful, but | will

inviting the old man to enter, though
the day was cold, and his clothing
seemed hardly sufficient to protect him
from its ipclemency,
Mrs. Beaumont was reclining on a
fauteual in room handsomely furnish
ed. The last new magazine was in
her hand, and her eyes were listlessly
glancing over its pago:. She was in
terrupted in her reading by the entrance
of the servant.

"A man q gentleman, you mean?

for she well understood what made up
gentleman in the conventional sense
of the term; it isn't gentleman at
all, for he's got an old gray coat, and
doesn't wear gloves.
'What can he want of me?'
