lCveliness, if he had not accidentally dis. covered that she was being persecuted. He did not learn this from Cindie, but from observation. He was a kind. hearted man; and seeing the poor orphan oppressed, without a murmur, it excited his sympathy. This thing called sympa- thy is not only akin to love, but is the best part of love. It is the soul of it. which survives when the grosser elements have gone the way of all the earth.
 Had Cynthia's nature been as loving and kind as her smile and her cooking indicated, she could have held him by silken cords of sympathy herself but it was not, and so the tie of the smile and even the dinners snapped asunder. She was exasperated when sine found it out, and gave Cindie an informal "leave of absence" Cindie went.
 Carle Thornburg did not even wait for furlough, but deserted at once and went over to the enemy. They were married in the church at Butterville and started immediately for Europe to visit Carle's parents. Cynthia had terrible attack of neuralgia after their departure, and the doctors could do nothing to give her relief
 This being true story, it is hard to get moral to fit it, but perhaps the fol- lowing will do: "Ts seem," and "To be-" are rivals in the race of life. "To seem" gets of nicely at the start, but "To be" runs in ahead on the "home stretch"

 The sweet-faced woman, her hear choking, her eyes bedimmed with tears kissed the cold, white lips of the dead man, and then falling upon her knees al the side of the cot offered up to heaven a long and plaintive prayer. Then through the tedious hours of the night she con. tinued kneeling, her face buried in the white coverlids of the cot, her hands folded over her head, her body still and motisnless. On the morning another sweet-faced sister found her still there sobbing softly like child, and led he, sorrowfully away to her own apartments

 THE MAID O BALLYWHACK,
A Paroay.
BY HECTOR ELI.

Twas eve the fennel wastes were green; On every blade the weevil hung; The cornstalk dallied vii the bean The bean vii answering ardor clung. All nature, feeling buoyant, smiled; The sunbeams hecked the woodland tracl And filled vii cheer the omber wild Alang the flats O Ballywhack. Vi careless step pierced the bog My brain suffused, my palate dry, When, seated oa a moss grown log, A maiden huge chanced to spy. Her form was like batch O wool
 Scant swaddled in a coffee-sack. Description faltered-looking dull: "Behold the maid O Ballywhack n I've seen the slack rhinoceros,
 And gazed on Poland's china SOW I've scrutinized old Barnum's cross
 Betwixt the devil and COW; But 'mang Dame Natures queerest pranks And prodigies-a motley pack For breadth O wame and girt O shanks- Commend the maid O Ballywhack Her phiz was marred wi yellow streaks, Like drbblngs o'er varnish can; Her sma' eyes peered from out her cheeks, Like buttons in an ottoman; Her ample, unkempt shock O hair
 Loomed skyward like barley stack; Her aspect must hae spread despair Amang the crows O Ballywhack. Anon, vii mony heave and puff,
 She rose, and in my pathway stood; Had been made O feebler stuff
 might hae faiRted in the wood. "Avaunt!" cried, vii anger hot;
 And down the path she took tack ;; She seemed moving Juggernaut-
 This brawnY maid O Ballywhack And as she bowled amang the trees,
 She gave a sound that chilled my blood A mile away heard her wheeze,
 Whilst toiling through the yielding mud. Her feet careened at polar points,
 And all alang the broadening track The holes made by her ankle-joints
 Betrayed her flight to Ballywhack Lord how wish I'd tempted her
 Wi me to some great city go; Wi board an found " pre-empted her, And put her in a ten-cent show Then had climbed the slippery steep, Where "boodle" waits the snowman
 cack, And fame !" is in the market, cheap
 Amang the Icons O 8allywhack.

 M. CIemeHJ, edItSf ef Literary L1e.
 A very small boy, with dirty face and clothing torn and tattered, stood munch- ing on an apple in Printing House square, New York. A well-worn cap covered a tangled mass of light brown hair. There was a merry twinkle in the bright blue eyes of the dirty-faced boy, and the ex- pression of his features led one to be- lieve he was always happy and contented. This was Reddy, street Arab, who with his blacking brushes displayed his skill upon the soiled boots of the metropolis His bed was an ash box, his home the busy street. The name of father to him was but memory of his baby days. His mother, a confirmed drunkard, had for years been a resident of Blackwell's Island. He was a child of the world, free to knock about the streets of the great city at will. He found companion ship among his fellows, and became re- nowned as the pluckiest of all the sinners " in New York. Day after day he strayed through crowded streets, earning his bread with his box and brushes. His tongue was ever ready, and his pockets always empty. His chiefest pleasure was to occupy 4 front seat in the gallery at the Bowery theatre, where be meted out loud applause, little caring whether the play upon the stage was roaring farce, comedy or heavy tragedy.
 It was bright and early on the morn before Christmas as Reddy breakfasted of an apple that the man on the corner had sold him for cent. The snow was falling fine and fast, and a cold north wind blew cuttingly through the streets. It was a heavy storm, and drifts socn formed along the curbstones and on the sidewalks. Reddy threw away the last remnants of his apple, and whistling mer- rily, started down town at a rapid gate.
 "l'll make CT doll'r, to-day" he unused to himself, "and' tonight I'll hav' a reg'ler blowout"
 He kept his word, and all day long he piled his vocation on the hotel steps, the offices along Broadways, and in railways and on doorsteps. He worked steadily, resting i'll at ease when idle, and think ing only of the feast and pleasures of the night to come. He edged his way through crowds of people, who with ia, purses and well filled baskets, were hur- rying along anxious to have the Christ. mas shopping over with. Pompous matrons, in silks and furs, brushed past him. Some pushed him rudely, said he was nasty boy, and ordered him out ol their path. Bankers, merchants, trades. men and mechanics hurried past, and gamblers and loiterers, with their slow shambling gait, spoke gruffiy as they pushed him aside.
 As night approached, the snow storm ceased, and the stars looked coldly and cheerlessly down upon the city. The streets were more crowded than ever, and all seemed happy, all save few. Here and there, jostled by the surging crowd, appeared the pinched, poverty-stricken
