Putting BY the Odd Pennies.

A small Satsuma jar, that stands on
the desk of o busy woman, receives
the odd pennies, or what she calls
the unexpected money"-that found
loose in pockets or bureau drawers.
There will never be enough money in
it TO found a hospital, or TO build a
home for insane dogs, but there is al
ways enough TO send a Posy to a sick
friend, a paper to somebody way of
where little reading matter can be got

day. Once started and well managed,

tents except when you are taking stock

seems to break the spell. Pennies are
gregarious--and where one goes an

A Modern Ruth.

She was about as big as n sparrow
and rs lively. She had bare feet and
naked legs, but she did not seem to
mind a little thing like that. Perhaps
it was the dirt which kept them warm.
II may have been custom, which they
say is equal TO the warmest of furs, or
it may simply have been that she did
not know any better. All | know is
that when / asked her il she was MT
cold she said: "Coldl Nawl What
for sh'd | be cold furi"
really could not answer this CO.
nundrum.
Like Ruth of old-Boaz's Ruth-she
was cleaning, but it was not among
the sheaves. II was on Water street
among the warehouses, where the big
ships come in and lie at rest, their
sharp noses poked far over the land,
their labors over for the time being,
their rich cargoes, which they had
brought over 50 many leagues of tum-
bling water, being trundled into the big
warehouses. Careless bags and boxes
sprung leaks in her behalf, and if the
big, burly, good natured longshore-
men were particeps criminis would
not be surprised if the recording angel
looked the other way and did not see
the act. And so it happened that sun
dry beans Of coffee and stray cloves
and sticks of cinnamon, and even the
bean Of commerce and of Boston,
found their way 10 the pavement, and
thence to the basket of the bare legged
human sparrow. She was brisk. she was
industrious and she was full of energy,
and the outcome Of her cleaning was
wonderful TO behold.
My heart was filled with sympathy
and love. | felt the little miss was a
poem in rags. and / was SURE under
meath her rude exterior there dwelt a
soul that was fitted for higher and
better things. desired to commune
with her, and approaching, full Of
reverence, / said To her:

and ~tcnderly. | have wondered why

She looked upin my face with a look
OF divine innocence.
"Yer wants To know" said she.
Il do" was my reply.
"WhatN yer givei'she asked.
"A quarter" replied, though taken
somewhat aback.
She opened her lips in a smile that
was divine and in a voice as full Of
melody as a mountain brook she told
the secret Of her toll in these strange
words:
me mudder keeps a boardin' house"
