"Then l may be of some use in the
world. Keep your money, Mrs. Mer-
Ger, don't want it. Tell your boy to
get well, and by next week shall have
home ready for you to come to-
Peter passed on to the next ROOM
This was occupied by young girl and
her mother. They had both sat up all
night to earn the last of the rent, which
they knew would be demanded in the
morning. They looked very pale and
careworn.
You do not look WELL" said Peter.
edo you work very hard?"
eve have to-" said the mother, sur
prised at Peters changed manner, I" for
we are paid very little. Here is the
rent"
"It is New Years day." said Peter,
cheerfully. "I shan't take it; you
may consider it as New Years pres
ent."
"You are very kind said both, with
grateful surprise.
And l have concluded to reduce
the rents one-third from henceforth, :"
said Peter.
"Do you make shirts?" he inquired,
cutting short the grateful protestations.
Yes"
Then you shall make me dozen.
Here is some money to buy the mate
rial. How much have you got for max
ing them?"
We were paid thirty cents at the
shops"
Then I will pay you double, and in
advance"
Peter left two happy hearts behind
him.
Il never knew how happy it made
one to do good" thought he, joyously.
"What fool have been not to find
out until was sixty-twor"
The next tenant had the money ready,
but Peter noticed that her boy was
without shoes.
What is the name of your SOM"
he asked.
Edward" said the mother, sur
prised.
Then give the money back to you
as New Years present for him. The
little fellow needs it more than / do"
So Peter went his rounds. He had
never passed happier day. He re-
mitted the quarters rent in every in
stance, as he had determined in the be-
ginning, and his opportune gift shed
rays of sunshine over many humble
hearth.
This was beginning of new life to
Peter Riggs. Henceforth he lived for
others as well as himself. AS he had
promised, he fitted up house comfort
ably, and Mrs. Mercer and Charlie
came to live with him. In their cheer
full society he enjoyed himself ten-fold
as much as he ever had before. The
old expression of greed has faded out,
and in the benevolent-looking old man
who now walks the streets, warmly and
comfortably clad, you would hardly
recognize old Peter Riggs, the miser.-

Lad nv the Blind.

Some wears ago, in Paris, there was a
small restaurant, known as the Blind
Mems Cafe, much frequented by the
blind, where an orchestra of blind musi-
clans performed for the amusement of
patrons.
One extremely dark night in winter,
when thick fog had fallen upon Paris
so thick that no one could see his way,
nor SO much as distinguish a street lamp
ten feet away, and when policemen, car
rying torches, here and there assisted
some cropping foot passenger to find his
course-a gentleman, seeing another man
walking along confidently and boldly,
ventured to say to him:
"Sir, will you please tell me where you
are going?"
"To the Palais Royal" said the gentle
man, who was walking with such sure
footsteps.
Sand how do you find your way SC
readilyf'
sob, never mind; never get lost Dc
you wish to follow mef"
"Thank YOU
So the first gentleman caught hold Of
pocket of the others overcoat, and start
ed after him. Not thing could HI
descry, but his companion marched con
fidently along. At length the two ar
rived under the familiar arches of thu
Rue de Rivoli.

Turning Out to the Left,

There is new fashion in park driving
which will cause trouble if it is persisted
in. A large numberof coach and saddle
horses have been imported from England
within few years. Many of the i'm
ported horses are kept in New York and
are now driven by their owners in the
daily park parades. The young men
who have. not English born horses try
to get their own horses up in imitation
of them, with clipped names, banged
tails, and English harness. Young men
who drive dog carts take especial pride
in having their horses. carts and men as
English as importation or imitation can
make them.
Some bright young man has discovered
the way to tell the real English article
from the imitation, and other young
men are taking advantage of his discov-
cry as fast as they learn it, though the
knowledge has not become general vet.
Horses have habits as much as men. A
horse that has been used to doing things
in certain way in his youth wants to
pursue it when he grows up. IN Eng
land drivers turn to the left in passing
instead of to the right, as in this coun-
try. AS an American bred horse in
stinctively turns to the right an English
horse turns to the left. Some Young
man noticed this and told his friends. 1t
is now the correct thing for young man
with an English horse in driving to pass
his friends on the left.
When other young men who haven't
English horses learn this they may try
to turn their horses TO the left, too. 1t
will not be easy, for many American
| horses will resent being forced to adopt
English customs. 1t will not be safe
thing to attempt unless there is an I'M
derstanding between both drivers. If
| you see two young men struggling to
pass on the left when their horses want
to go on the right, you may know that
they are not ignorant of the law of the
road, but that they want to be as fash
ionable as other young men with real
English horses.-New York Sun.
