three had been found buadled together in
the corner of an elevator near the
railway track. The tale of these
young tender lives as told by
themselves Was sadder than any words,
because neither their own words nor any
language could express what some, who
saw their lips move and watched The con-
fiicting emotions OF their faces and eyes,
felt. Poor little outcasts. how they ri, al

The N. E. FESTIVAL.

The young ladies Of the Methodist church
were indeed fortunate in selecting last
evening rs the time for holding their ice
cream festival. The day preceding had
been extremely warm, and the state of the
atmosphere at night was but little changed.
As consequence everybody was anxious
TO find cool place, or partakc OF some
thing of a cooling nature, and by O'Clock
the skating rink was filed TO overlooking
with seekers after ice cream and
lemonade. Some ten or eleven
large tables had been arranged
for the convenience OF those at
tending, but such was the crowd that no
sooner WAS a table emptied than it was in
stantly reGllcd, and the energies Of the fair
walters were taxed to the utmost in sup
plying the wants of their patrons. "Rehec-
ca at the WELL" proved a
novel as well as thor
ougbiy acceptable feature OF the evening,
and had the well not been wide and deep
its resources would have been exhausted
early in the evening. The young Indies
having the affair in charge have every real
son TO congratulate themselves upon lis sue
cessful issue, both from 4 financial and er-
joyable standpoint. Every one present
seemed to enjoy themselves, and the even
ing passed most pleasantly. the merry
throng not dispensing until nearly mid
night.
