The wheels were thereupon reversed and
the bow oil the boat again touched along

given the woman 70 embark. but she was
in too big hurry and furry TO make haste
properly. She first banded her child
aboard then passed over her bundle, when
the pilots bell caused the wheels To ;urn
and the boat steamed away leaving her
alone and lonely on the shore. At this she
uttered bewi.dering shricks and shed
screaming tears. bat her agony did not
bring back the steamer However. it was
seen from the shore that the passengers

An Old Shop Sign in Boston.

| remember with what interest !
used TO gaze when boy on the sign of
the Blue Ball, which stood in front of
a little three-story building at the SOUTH
west corner of Hanover and Union
Streets. There was q noticeable touch
of antiquity in the appearance of the
ball, the blue color of which was con-
siderably faded, and it did not need the
date 1903, which was marked in black
upon it to remind me of its venerable
character. But it was the association
of the old sign with the father of Ben
iamin Franklin, who kept his tallow
chandler's shop on the spot, which his
boy used to sit. that gave it such Pc
culiar interest in my eyes. l believe
the building was taken by the city for
the widening of Hanover Street, somc
thirty years ago, and always regret
ted that the plan of the owners to re-
move it to some other location was
tound impracticable. If my memory
serves me, the Blue Ball is still in eN-
istence and in private ownership, but
historic relic like this should bc in the
possession of the Bostonian Society,"
