NY OLD GOLD THIMsLE.
BY ANNA MORRIS.

There it lay upon the table. Not
one of your modern affairs, that a
weeks hard sewing would demolish.
No, my thimble was of the old-fash-
ioned red gold, with a band of or
namental work about it, in lighter
shade of the same metal, and with
a steel top. No need to look hor-
rified, my dear madam or miss.
vastly preferred it to yours-with
its onyx or agate top-good for moth
ing bat to look at. My thimble
was an old and well-tried friend!
Alas--that l should have to say it
my only friend! And now / must
part with that, as / had parted one
after another with all my friends
both animate and inanimate.
| took it up from the table, and
turned it over in my hand, letting
the last rays of the setting sun strike
upon its curious ornamental band.
The thimble had originally been my
great-gran n d mothers property,
brought for her from some foreign
country by her husband. She had
given it to my grandmother-her
eldest dsughter-- -. in hef turn
would have given it to my mother,
but my mother died when | was a
little baby, and so grandma kept it
for me.
"Take good care of it, child"
she said, when her failing sight
warned her that she should not use
it much more. at has always car
ried good fortune with it, and
trust it will continue to do so.''
But grandma's kind wish had
scarcely been fulfilled. Not long
after this she died, leaving me quite
alone in the world, for had always
lived with her. My father had died
some years before, and had no one
belonging to me. Grandma's an
nuity died with her, and it did not
look very likely that l could earn
my living in that little village; SO ]
mustered up all my courage, went
to the nearest city, and taking a
cheap but respectable room, began
to look about for work. could
find nothing better than sewing for
shops, but although the pay was
small, my expenses were not heavy,
and l got slong pretty well, with
occasional employment from rich
ladies.
But after while the city air and
close confinement to my work began
to tell upon my health, The hot
summer days seemed to stifle me,
and grew weaker and weaker. At
last l broke down altogether, and
lay for weeks between life and death.
The woman Of whom | rented nv
room had taken what care she could
of me, suppose. She was poor
and had plenty to do besides waiting
on stranger.
When | grew strong enough to
look about me, Ifound my room
stripped of all the little things had
brought from home 10 make it COM

left, but the furniture which be-
longed to my lsndlady, and nv
thimole. Doubtless that would
have gone also, bnt for the fact that
it happened to be rolled mp in the
piece Of work that had sewed on
last, and she had not found it.
She said my things brought but
little. that she was obliged to sell
them to buy my medicines. and she
limited very plainly that I owed her
for several weeks board. God for

The marines were first established in
1864, when a corps was formed to sup
ply trained sailors for the fleet. The
merchant navy at that time was not
large enough to supply the kings
ships, and the impressed men were in
general unruly. A certain number of
marines were therefore placed in each
ship to keep the crew in order. Thus
at first marines were trained sailors,
and not soldiers, althougha at that time,
and both before and after, the fighting
in men-of-war was done by soldiers.
No special regiment was set apart for
this duty, but sometimes one and some
times another was employed. The duke
of York (~afterward James H. was in
command of q regiment which was for
some time employed in this way
