Little Bspno-A True Story.

A dull, leadcn sky. All day the
snowflakes have steadily fallen, and
now, as night approaches, not vestige
Of the frozen earth remains. Beppo
walks YEARLY along his beloved guitar
held closely under his arm. He sees
the lights lit in happy homes; he sees
the children with their faces pressed
against the panes, watching with de-
light the fall of the flakes, for to-mor-
row will be Christmas, and the snow
will aid Krss Kriukle in his visit; and
a sad smile lights mp his dark face. for
the snow that brings happiness to them
brings him deepest sorrow.
As the little wanderor strolls on he
thinks of that land Of mellow sunshine
far over the sea, and Of the happy home
he had before his parents died; and,
in contrast to this, he thinks of the
home he has now, and Of the wicked
padrone who took him from bis cher
ished country.
These last thoughts arouse him to a
sense Of business, and, clinking the few
pennies in his pockets, he takes up his
position at the entrance Of a thcater
which is ablaze with light. Then, blow
ing his breath upon his stiff, cold fingers
he plays few Wild sweet notes upon
his instrumental prelude to Home,
| Sweet Home He watches the gayly
attired people pass into the warm build
ing, but none seem 10 notice the little
figure shrinking in the shadow. None
save the gruh' burly policeman, who
roughly grasps his shoulder and says;
Come, Young un, move along now!'
And Beppo, utterly disheartened,
moves on. 1t has been poor day for
business; he does not dare TO 90 home
with the few pennies he has earned; and
now the stern mandate OF the olhcer
has cut OF his last chance OF getting
more.
He pauses under a gas-lamp, and, by
its iickeriug rays, he counts bis pennic:
over just ten-enough for coffee and
rolls; and no crosses over to a little res
tnurant, and Is soon INDUCING in a bill
