SORROWS OF THE POOR.

Some one has declared that there are few satlder sights than that of family Bible in n pawnbroker's window. Still another person says that the story told by such mute witness IS livaled by that to be read from seeing a set of carpenter B 1 tools in fhe same place. Both nre tokens of downfall one of r. ligiouS feeling, and the other of industrial and dome silc life. A teacher in city school attended largely by the poor tells the following story
 I was going home late from school on q cold night, when met one of my schol ars-the brightest girl of all. She was trotting along. clasping something tightly to her breast under her great sIlawl-the | garment which was her mothers, making her little figure look strangely grotesqne and f,rlorn. The tears were running, dts regard, d, down her cheeks.
 "Why, what can be the matter ?'' ask. ed, putting my hand on h'r shoulder.
 "Oh, nothing, ma'nm.'' she said, as soon as she recogniz d m-; but tue effort of speaking was too great, and she burst into sObs.
 ''It must b. something" insisted ''Step inside this doorway and tell me- What is that under your shawl?"
 Then her sobs T.. doubled, and Ahe allow ed me to draw forth the conceal, d package -Longfellow's poems, which hat givrl her at Christmas.
 "I've got to pawn it" she whispered holding her head low in shame.
 "Why? Who wants the monty?'
 'Mother; there's nothing to eat in the house. She meant to finish her sewing to-day, and get the pay for il /; but las night father was gone till twelve, and whrr he came home he wasn't just right.

I don't suppose I ought to feel sc about my book-I eau get it b cS again but its hard to think of ifs lying ronnd 1T the shop"
 Suppose you make me tie pawn broker" said I, giving her some money ''And when you have had twelve perfec days at school, you shall have it back again.
 How her eyes sparkled
 "May I?'' she cried. May I, truly Oh, how good you are Oh, am glad ?
 She could not thank me i'll ords, anC so she .impplsively kissed my hand, as sht laid the book in It, and darted Vay witl the money.

4 PRINTERS DREAM.

A printer sat in his office chair, his b lots were pa ched and hi| G. t tn ndbare, aud his face nked weary and worn with care. While sadly thinking of business debts, old Morpheus slowly around him rp {, md b fore he knew it, lte sndde ily si"p i; and while sleepIug, he dreamed that he was dead, from trouble aud toll his spirit had fled, and that not even a bw-beli toll d for the peaceful rest of his COW hide sole. As he wandered among tue shades, that sm ks and scorch in low'r hades, he shortly observed an iron door, that creak- ingly swung on hinges alar, but the e". trance was closed with a red hot bar, and Satan himself stood peeping out, and watching for travellers thereabout, and thus to the passing printer spoke
 "Come in, my dear, it shall ,st you nothing, and never fear, this is the plnct where I cook the ones who never pay their subscription sums, for though in life they m " escape, they will hud when dead it k tJo late ; I will show you the place where 1 melt them thin, with red-hot chaius aud scraps of tin, and also where comb their heads with b oken glass aud melted lead, and if of refreshments they only think, there's boiling water for them to drink there's the rcd hot grindstone to grind down their toes, and if they men ton they don't like fire, I'll sew up theii mouths with red-hot wire and then, deal sir, you should see them squirm, while turn them over and cook to a turn"
 With these last words the printer awoke and thought it all practical joke, bu still at times, so real did it seem, that h' cannot believe it was dream, and ofter he thinks with a chuckle aud grin, of tho fate of those who save their tin, and never pay the printer
