little white ghost. in the door.
He turned quickly. frightened at her

doorway was sheltered from the street, so
no one saw her a. she leaned her head
half against the doorpost and half against
his arm as he knelt beside her, with fear
and pity in his honest young eyes.
The little waves Of hair curied softly
about her brows and show ed the delicate
loneliness Of the pure Young face as 1t
dropped against his shoulder. 1t was only
for a moment that she leaned there, faint
and silent; then the tears came into the
dark ewes. and she began to cry in hope

must help her or show he wanted to. SO
with a queer. feeling in his own throat, he
gave the soft brown hair timid pat and
said, Don't cry'" quite in tender way.
At the sound Of his voice, she seemed
to know how she was showing her heart
to this stranger, for weak and trembling
as she was, she rose and fled, leaving him
alone. to go about his usual way.
The tears were almost in his own eyes

at Mrs, Fitz Simmons he felt so warm
and strong with sympathy. He could feel
even then where her head had touched his
shoulder; she would have to bear it all

when he thought Of George, and that in

tonished at the ideas in regard to him,
held by one who was a total stranger.
He scarcely glanced at the house for
the next two or three days, for fear she
would think he was remembering Friday

thankfully welcomed.
His heart beat fearfully as he went up
the steps. Perhaps she was ill or gone
away forever-no; there she was, much
as usual to all outward appearance. though
he fancied there was paleness still on
her face and the traces Of quiet tears be-
meath her eyes.
To stranger there would have seemed
no difference probably. for she was always
quiet; but he grew to fancy there was
wistful sadness nova. days in her dark
eyes, that deepened when she smiled. He
longed to comfort her as mother might
might have done; to take her in his arms
like a child, and share with her his own
young strength.
The Cranes were two, dull old fogies !;

her hurt alone.

The Arab.

The Arab is born gossip, rivalling in
his ability to manufacture news at short
notice New England sewing circle. II
you ask him what is happening, he looks
at you with a scrutinizing glance, makes
up his mind what kind of news YOU want
and then cody starts to tell you quantity
Of stuff which he makes up as he goes
along. The Arab is gifted man in many
respects. He can kiss your feet if you
are able to do him a service, and after
you have done il he will set fire to your
house or brain you with piece of your
own furniture in sweet forgetfulness that
you have been his friend in time of need.
He can cheat in trade almost as deity as
a Christian and exhibit great many
other vices which belong to high state
ofcivilization. Arab has himself shown
powers Of deception of high order, and
If he would only resign and emigrate to
America he could become a first class
politician, or q SPLENDID railroad presi-
dent, or defaulting cashier of rich cor
porltion, and it would not be necessary
for him TO change his moral nature in the
very least. He would here find himself
among his equals, one of class of men
who can steal an office and then use its
influence for personal gain. Yes, he is
a rare man in Egypt, but he would feel
entirely at home in this country.

A Warning to village Boys VINO are wont
to Congrcgatc In the Country Printshop.
New Cowan Conn Messenger,
A striking example Of the dangers
which are TO be found in the average
country printing Office was afforded in
The Messenger Office recently--those
mysterious dangers which lurk amid its
machinery, ooze from its ink kegs, lie in
wait in its paste pot, and scintlllates from
the editorial scissors. Mr.. Horace Ed
monds, colorcd, aged thirteen, has long
had pudding" on this Office for wet
days, and cold days, and particularly,
publication days. On Saturday he paid
us customary visit, and while a job was
being made ready on the jobber, incau-
tiously placed his hand upon the i'm
preston arm, where IL was instantly
caught between the impression and roller
arms. which pass within about one-quar-
ter of an inch Of each other. There was
howl to which Comanche war-whoop
would be murmur, a whisper, sigh;and
then, as he was released, when the arms
Cleared" themselves, Mr.. Horace Ed
monds colored. aged l3, stood not upon
the manner of going, but he few, she'd
ding howls and blood, profanity and
fngernails at every jump. He now ap-
pears with the lower extremity of his
left upper limb looking much like a
sugar-cured ham in white canvas jacket.
And in this connection we wish TO add
a word Of solemn warning to the boys
who are apt TO make loating rendezvous
ofthe country print-shop-some solemn
facts not generally given away by the
profession. Such has become the adul-
teration of type metal with strychnine
and paris green that to exposed youth it
| is deadener Cases are known whose
apparently robust young men have gone
straight from their cases to the beer,
leaving an unprotected landlady to
mourn the loss of cases. This has often
happened. And, moreover, it is no.
torious that uncorked barrel of ink ia ex-
tremly inilammable and tremendously
explosive-muchm more so than even Mrs.
Mary Livermore at female suffrage
convention. Then again, the practice of
some editors of keeping the original
poetry in a pot of three-months-old
paste prodr ces a sublime-ate compared
to which nitro-glycerine is baby pow
der. Instance: Some 346 years ago the
explosit n Of twenty-seven barrels of ink
and the editorial paste-pot in the Green
wich Observer office blew up and mashed
nineteon boys who were playing seven up
in the sanctum. Among the mashed. un-
fortunately, was the favorite son of Mrs.
Susan b. Anthony-hence the where
fore she has ever since blown up the
newspapers This phase of the catastro-
phe Cantwell be too seriously deplored.
We trust the boys will take warning.
But they won't. If the press keeps in re-
pair, and our present stock of boys holds
out, we shall start nail factory in the
spring. We wish it to be distinctly un-
derstand that We pay neither personal
damages nor doctors bills; nor while We
keep lots of 'sorts," we don't agree to
"sort-up" lots Of boys who may choose
to sacrifice minor attachments at the
shrine of the art destructive of boys.

The idea that human beings, made in
Gods image, having the power to think,
To reason and to act, could live, even ex-
ist, in such a hoyel was incredible.
Wading through mud and slush, coming
over the shoe-t0ps, | bent my head ana
entered. The room, if so 1t could be cali
ed, by any stretch of Imagination, was 80
low that could not stand erect The
cold bare earth that constituted the floor
was damp and slippery, as the rain came
trickling down through the open thatch
and formed little pools upon the ground.
Near suggestion Of fire were hud-
died woman and four children, the
eldest not more than eight years Of age.
As entered they all arose. | was hor-
rifcd to see that they were without
stockings and shoes, and their clothing
was so torn and ragged that II afforded
no warmth whatever.
The mother and her little girls were
blue with cold. Their features were
pinched with hunger. Their whole APP
pearance indicated the want and suffer-
ing they had been enduring for wears,
In one corner Of room was what they
called q bed Il consisted OF four posts
driven into the ground On stringcrs
were laid four rough boards, and on these
boards were dried leaves and heather,
covered with a few old potato sacks,
There is where the family Of six persons
slept.
There was no window in the house,
the only light and ventilation being fur
nished b. the door and the cracks in the
thstched roof
As for meat, that is something they
never dreamed of eating. Only once a
year do they dare TO hope to taste it. On
Christmas day they manage, if they can,
10 boil the half Of pigs face and they
mix their stirabout with buttermilk to
make a gorgeous feast That Is the only
meal thcy ever have, and the pleasure of
this indulgence is destroyed by the terri
bic remorse that follows extravaganza.
Two meals of potatoes a day-that is the
diet they are born 10, live upon and die
upon As to their clothing that is some
thing to horrible to talk about.
In a ride of five milcs-from the door
Of the hotel in Cork to Blarney castlc-I
counted over 500 women barefooted,
whose feet had never known stocking
or shoe.
