HOW HE WORKED II.
hoy Sells Newspapers and Charitable
People mt the Samo Time,

AS l was ascending the steps of the
al" road station, not long aga L
nearly stumbled over small boy
seated at the bottom of the second
landing, says writer in the New York
Herald. He was an Italian. about
eight years of age. Under his arm
was a couple of newspapers, although
the hour for selling them was late-1O
p. IN.
Stopping on the landing above to
finish my cigar before boarding the
train. again noticed the boy. who
had settled his head comfortably upon
his arm and lay apparently fast asleep.
A man came upstairs. fingered a
moment at the lads side and then soft
ly slipped coin in the boys hand,
making no attempt to awake him.
When his benefactor's footsteps died
away the urchin started up to examine
the coin. spat upon :. tcl lick and
stored it away.
The rumble of downcoming train
caused him to prick up his ears and
fall back again into his somnolent atti-
tude. A certain infantile grace peeped
forth from his smudgy face as it lay
upturned, partially revealed by the
Pickering glare of the gus. His papers
dangled carelessly under his left arm
that hung Imply and detected like by
his side.
It was an effective pose in its pathos.
Interested l still watched the artful
little fraud.
Passengers began to descend. The
first, a prim, spinster-like female.
stopped short, handed him a coin,
bade him keep the change. took pa
per. advised him to go home, and went
on.
After her tripped an airy, fairy like
miss, amid great rustling of skirts,
radiant in beauty that set off to ad-
vantage sparkling jewels and rich rai-
ment. She threw up her hands in dis
may and emitted little cry of horror.
oh, George" she cried, ''see
therep"
George was her escort.
He gallantly arose at once to the
situation. Diving into his pocket he
transferred therefrom quite little
sum of jingling change into the boys
hand.
Sympathy seemed contagious.
Other passengers contributed liber-
ally and went their ways. leaving the
boy alone.
He sat upright. carefully counted
the spoils and then settled down again
for more business. How long this
lasted. whether the little fellow had
evolved this scheme from his own in
ner consciousness or been padroned-
so to say-into it, had no time to as
certain.
This Is but one incident in thou
sand in metropolitan life which reveals
that charitable people are hoodwinked
very often in their indiscriminate aims
giving.

THE BEGINNINGS OF LONDON.
A Town In the Mids. of Marshes With
Small Prospect.

A Town In the Mids. of Marshes With
Small Prospect.
Let us go back to the beginning of
all things writes Walter Besant in
Harpers monthly-to the lay of the land
In which London was planted. The
reader, ii he will consult that very ad-
mirable book, ''Loftie's History of
London, will find a most instructive
map. 1t shows the terrain before the
city was built at all. The river Thames,
between Mortlake on the west and
Blackwall on the east, pursued a SER
pentine way, in the midst of marshes
stretching north and south There were
marshes all the way. At spring tides
and at all tides little above the com.
they were always swampy and covered
with ponds; half dozen tributary
brooks flowed into them and were lost
in them. They varied greatly in
breadth. being generally much broader
on the south side than on the north.
On this side the higher land rose up
suddenly in cliff or steep hill from
twenty to five-and-thirty feet in height.
This cliff. followed from the east. ap-
preached the river, touched it at one
point and then receded again as it went
westward. This point where the cliff
overhung the river, was the only place
where the city could have been
founded.
/ call it a point, but it consisted of two
hfllocks, each about tbirty-five feet
high, standing on either side of the
little stream of Walbrook, where it flows
into the Thames. On one of these hills,
probably that on the west, was small
fortress of the Britons. constructed
after the well-known fashion of hill
forts. numberless examples of which
remain scattered about the country.
On the other hillock the Roman city
was first commenced
Here was the beginning of the city;
here was instituted very early ferry
over the river. On the eastern hill the
Romans built their forum and basilica
with the official houses and quarters.
When foreign trade began to increase,
the merchants were obliged to spread
themselves along the bank: they built
quays and river walls to keep out the
water. and the city extended laterally
to east and west just as far rs was
convenient for the purposes Of trade;
that is. not farther than Fleet street
on the west. and the present site of the
Tower on the east 1t than began to
spread slowly northward but slowly,
because mile of river front can accom-.
modate great working population.
