"What, not those who are good to

Nobody was ever good to me, :"
said the boy.
Mrs. NJ was touched with the
child's answer, which strongly paint
ed his helpless lot, and the cold indif-
ference of the world. The tear stood
in her eye.
"My poor little fellow" said she,
after short pause, was nobody ever
