NONE or OUR BUSINESS.

"a little girl was heard to finish her
evening prayers with these words: "And
l saw a poor little girl on the street to-day,
cold and barefooted; but it is none Of our
business, is it, God?"1
None of our business! Wandering and sim
full,
Allthroughth the streets Of the city they go,
Hungry and homeless in the wild weather !;
None of our business! Dare we say so 2
None of our business. Children's wan
faces,
Haggard and old with their suffering and
sin,
Hold fast your darlings on tender, warm
bosoms,
Sorrow without, but the home light
within.)
What does it matter that some other wo-
man,
Some common mother, in bitter despair
Walls in a garnet, or sits in a cellar,
Too broken-hearted for weeping or prayer?
None of our business. Sinful and fallen.
How they may jostle us close on the
street.
Hold back your garments Scorn. they
are used to it;
Pass on the other side, lest YOU should
meet.
None OF our business, On, then, the
music,
On with the feas,ing, though hearts
break forlorn;
Somebody's hungry, somebody's freezing,
Somebody's soul will be lost cre the morn.

HORROR AT TIE oHuR.w

| Fire Destroys Tenement House mt
| Boston, and Ten of the Inmates Lose
| Their lives N vs.
BosToN, Feb BIN July, forty-four
years ago, nino persons were burned to
death In fire on North street. Boston
had not recorded counterpart in fatal
ity to that disaster until Sunday morn
| ing shortly after midnight, when fire
broke out in tho dwelling house Nos.
$50 and 261 of that same street. occii-
| pied mostly by Italians and ten
persons were quickly burned to death,
three others fatally injured and six
more seriously If not not mortally hurt.
! There is q diversity of accounts as to
the origin of the fire. 1t is believed
that the fire started in the clothing
store of Maurice Ruhey on the first
floor; and some minutes before it was
discovered it had eaten through
the partition wall of the hallway which
contained the stairs leading to the tene-
ments above. Tho wooden stairway was
like tallow candle and the flames
swept up it like flash and took hold of
the rear stairways ascending from the
same hallway and thus cut off all es-
cape for the occupants. The scenes
which occurred among the inmates when
they were awakened were of tho
most exciting description. There was no
way for them to get down, and as
they ascended to the attic tho flames
followed swiftly upon them. Shrieks
of terror, groans of agony and cries for
help filled the air. Men, women and
children filed the windows and
piteously pleaded for help. Some
of the more venturesome even hung
from the windows by a slight
hold on the sills.
In ten minutes those whom it was
possible to save had been taken from
their positions of peril and the wounded
had been taken to places where their in
juries could be cared for.
1t was not until after the fire had been
practically extinguished that the in
terror of what was then but she'll
could be examined. Chief Weber,, fol-
lowed by several fremen, went into the
building at a little past l o'clock and
with difficulty assembled to the upper
floors. The stair-ways from tho street
to the second floor were completely
burned away. When the chief and
they found under one of the windows n
human form, burned to crisp almost,
the two palms clasped together, kneel-
ing as though at prayer. Further search
showed in other parts of the top floor
seven other human forms, almost COW
cred with cinders and ashes Seeing their
escape from theflames below to the street
impossible, because the stairs were
roaring masses OF fire, the terrified VIC
tins had evidently rushed to the upper
floor in their attempt to escape and had
there been roasted as though held in
furnace. Later two bodies of infants
were removed from other parts of the
building, and the completed list of ten
human lives was made up. The injured
were removed to hospitals and the dead
bodies were taken to the morgue for
Identification.
