A ROMANCE.
The Story of Lonesome Little Cat and
 Lonesome Little Girl.

Lonesome Little Girl.
 Once on time there was little girl, and there was little cat, and they lived five miles from each other, and the little girl had never heard of the little cat, and the little cat had never heard of the little girl.
 The little girls name was Nell, and she lived with her grandparents, and she was lonesome because she was all the young small little person there was in the house. The little cats name was Capertoes, and he was lonesome because he was barn-cat and great hunter" Now, cats like to catch rats and mice; but they like other things too-such things as fires and rugs, and gentle words, and the touch of a gentle hand.
 Now Capertoes had grown sick of the barn, and of rats and mice, and one night he left the barn and set out ito seek his fortune" It was a long, cold, snowy road, and Capertoes went, and went. and went, all night. But at the end of the night. and at the end of the road, he found his fortune.
 As he was passing house, little girl with brown eyes and brown hair opened window, and called to him: kitty, kittyr'
 Capertoes stopped, and after looking at her a minute. he went up to the window. The little girl told him her name was Nell, and asked him what his was; and when he had heard her talk bit, he liked the sound of her voice, and the touch of her hand was soft and gentle; and presently, when she asked him if he would not like to be her cat, he jumped in and staid and was her cat always afterwards. But his name there was Velvetcoat, not Capertoes. E. Fdrnlan, i,. Our Little Men and Women.

DIGNlFlED HONESTY.

How It Was Rewarded by a Diminutive
 Chicago Newsboy.
 A Avery small newsboy stood at the corner of Superior and Clark streets yesterday afternoon. Under his arm was solitary and bespattered copy of a paper. Satisfied either by the plethoric condition of his pocket, caused by suc- cessful run of business, or by the
 armth of the sun, he disdained to call his wares.
 A rotund and austere officer of the North Side Street Railway Company passed. He stopped abruptly, ap- preached the lounging youngster, and said: '.Nes0s, boy," at the same time slipping a coin into the hand of the urchin, who, in turn, dextrously deposit ed it between his teeth. Delivering the wrinkled paper the boy sent dirty hand into his trousers pocket and pro- duced four pennies and nickel, which he emptied into the extended palm of the dignifed purchaser.
 You should be more careful, sir," said the rotund gentleman, glancing at the change and then handing it back to the youngster. '1 gave you a Scent piece not a dime"
 Not muscle of the boys face moved. The same dirty little hand went mp to his mouth and returned with the Scent piece. Quick as a flash the coin had again changed owners.
 What's this forP" gasped the digni- fled official.
 "Keep der money" replied the boy, with wave of the dirty hand; '1 likes to reward honesty"
 The dignified gentleman blushed to roots of his hair and stood for a moment gazing at the back of the self-possessed urchin, who had turned on his heels and sauntered Chicago Neo0s.

"You Never Said So Before, John "-Pa-
 thetic Scene at a Mothers Death-Bed.
 A venerable clergyman of Virginia said lately: ,:Men of my profession see much of the tragic side of life. Beside 8 death-bed the secret passions, the hidden evils as well as the good in hu- man nature, are very often dragged to the light. I have seen men die in bat tie, children and young wives in their husbands arms, but no death ever seemed so pathetic to me as that of an old woman, member of my church.

His Was a Different Case.

MT. Flepper, of the North side was com blaming yesterday to his grocer of the poor character of the lacteal fluid his milkman sold him, and the latter advised him to get lactometer.
 "A lactometer! Whats that?" he asked
 "An instrument which determines if there is any water in the milk''
 "Well, the lactometer wouldn't do me any good"
 "Why?"
 "What I want to determine is whether there is any milk in the water he sells me. {" Chicago News.

A NEW AMUSEMENT.
Transformation Scrap-Book, and How
 to Make It.

The question of how to amuse the chil dren is being continually answered in one way and another, by new inventions in toys and games. Yet the ready-made play things are not nearly so satisfying to our girls and boys as those they may employ their taste and ingenuity upon, in manu- featuring themselves. We therefore intro. duce the Transformation Scrap-Book to our young readers as something any child can make, as an exceedingly amusing picture-book, and on account of the va rious and ever-changing pictures it pre- sents, toy not soon tired of.
 A blank book is the first article required; one eight inches long by six and half or seven wide is good size.
 Cut the pages of this book across, one third of the way down. Fig. 1 shows how this should be done; the three-cornered

MAssACREs OF CHnIaTI ,Ns.--Advices
from Ching Too Foo, the chief city OF
tine Province of Secheun, State that
the natives Of the eastern part OF that
province and those ofsNorthern G >
chiu.Clina have risen against the
Christians and are nassacrng them
and destroying their property. This
active prosecu ion is attributed to the
iplprudence of English and Ameri-
can missionaries. In Coehin-C China
alone, 50 Christians have been killed
aud their houses burned and their
farms destroyed. In Sechuen gem
eral massacre of the Christians is re-
ported to be in progress, and they
are killed wherever found. 1t is
said that whole villages occupied by
Christians have been destroyed, and
that all the lands occupied by profess
ors of that faith are being devasted.
The Apostolic Wears residence in
ScchueE has been burned to the
ground, and not piece of furniture
nor book nor paper WAS saved. The
foreign Consuis barely escaped from

suitable monument in honor Of the memory
of General Grant. That might be worked up
before going out of the country to find objects
for public testimonials. Mr.. Gladstone de-
serves the gratitude and admiration of all the
world. But he will have to take it out in adj
miration, for the present, as there are too
many things in the United States that need
money to complete them. One thing at a
time, and that one thing that New York city
should look to, is a monument to the memory
of the hero of Appomattox. It is foolish to
be sentimental before being patriotic and just.
He that provideth not for his own hath denied
the faith, and is worse than an infdel.
