legions to Moscow, and the city

was compelled to retreat. They
were disappointed, and, as they
retreated ofcourse vented their
Indignation upon the sections
of the country through which they
marched. They were to pass
through a little village, in which
poor widow lived, with her one
boy, cripple. There was great

men-and women too-show what
they are. Most of them are for
themselves; they do not think of
what is to become of others. The
poor widow knew not what to do.
She had no way to move her little
effects; and she could almost
hear the rumbling of the oncom-
ing army, and already in imagi-
nation saw her cabin burning,
herself brutally treated, and her
poor little Martin perhaps killed.

Night came, the gray clouds
thickened, and soon the fine
snow came falling, falling noise
lessly; and little Martin looked
forth and told his mamma that
the ground was covered. Still
it fell, until the window sill was
covered. 1t drifted on; and

A Humorous Tramp.

The tramp in real life, bereft Of the
picturesque atmosphere with which the
comic papers surround him, is by no
means hideous creature, but sub
urban resident claims to have discovered
one with vein Of humor which would
bring joy to the heart of the comic par
agrapher. 1.-THE fellow stopped at my
residence" remarked the suburbanite,
''and asked for something to eat. My
wife CHANGED to be in the kitchen, and
she told him he could have some dinner
if he would first saw some wood. This
the tramp agreed to do and repaired
with the saw to the wood shed. After
half an hour had elapsed and the hobo
had not come to claim his reward my
wife determined to investigate. Going
to the shed, she saw that both tramp and
saw had disappeared, while the wood
pile was undisturbed. A piece of dirty
paper pinned to the door caught her at
tention, and after considerable difficulty
she deciphered the message, which read
as follows: Just tell them that you saw
me, but you did not see me saw. -
