story; and now she could not find time
to sew if she had the strength, and she
was nearly exhausted with overwork,
watching and weeping.
The tale, brief as it was, had to be told
with frequent pauses, as the invalid in
the next room coughed or tinkled bell
for her to come TO change his position
and attempt to ease the discomfort for
which there was but one real easement,
and that was hourly approaching.
While the mother was away on these
duties, the visitor talked with the chill
dren, drawing them out as to their
studies and pleasures.
The elder two evidently were good
scholars" and the youngest was a
bright, quiet little thing, prematurely
aged by continuous want and the pres
enee of suffering in the house.
And don't you love dolls or play
things? | do not see any around, nor
any books; surely you ought to have
picture books to amuse you. Do you
not go to Sunday-school? ?" for she saw
none of the usual evidences; the lesson
books; the Sunday-school papers, the
library books usually seen where there
are children, were all wanting here.
The eldest daughter quietly said:
I'VE have not been lately" like many
older people, answering the last ques-
ton first 1--WE never had many books,
and they had to go; we haven't any
now" and the baby girl chimed in:
Love dolls? Guess | doll had one
ast-Christmas-a real pretty one all
dressed-but mamma give-it-to-the
washwoman, an / amt got nothin'
now" and she broke into loud sobs.
"Alinnie!" cried her mother, reprov-
ingly, hearing the child's words as she
came back into the room.
do not blame her; it is my fault. But
what does she mean?"
Mrs. Crandall eolored deeply. 1t was
so hard to be poor, and harder still to be
forced to expose her poverty in all its
baroness, to strangers:
"Why, it is this way: l have no place
but this room to wash in, and the steam
goes right in there and ehokes him,
and he fretted so and coughed every
time | washed, that it seemed as if |
never could get through another wash
day. l never had washing done for
me before in my life, except when the
babies came" Here she lowered her
voice, though the door was partly
closed. "And so | thought we could get
along without any more washing till
it was all over, thinking every week
would be the last. But, poor man, he's
lasted along till we'd got to have some
things; and his cough worse than ever,
and | couldn't have the steam here
| nohow, and | had no money and had

all the time. but did not know who else
to go to this time. 1t is hard to always

Others and Miss Henderson paused, as
if, perhaps, she had at last brought to
notice the one case too many, for even
the rich and charitable sometimes reach
limit where they feel justified in say
ing: 81 can do no more, just at pres
emit"
ayes, l know Miss Henderson," re-
sponded Mrs. Estabrook, pleasantly, in
an encouraging tone, ''but this time my
charity fund is not quite exhausted.
What is it, please, that has affected you
SOP"
ooh, you are always so kind! want
you to go with me and see what have
seen. A laborer dying of lingering
disease and poverty, with a wife and
three children, half-fed and half
warmed. The oldest girl is about IL,
the youngest only three. When the
husband is awake the wife's time is
spent trying to ease his suffering, which
is constant; but by sewing during his
daytime maps and nights, she has kept
starvation away-not much more. Too
proud to beg, they have sold almost
everything that could be spared, and
that was not much. The doctor came
and asked me to Investigate the case,
and sec if could interest some of the
ladies | knew. | found no food, no
money, scarcely bit of fuel, and the
half-erazed dying man, seolding be-
cause he was cold, and finding fault that
the chicken broth he longed for had not
been brought to him. Poor man, he is
too far gone to know the reason why,
and blames his wife; says she is tired of
waiting upon him. | went to a kind
market man and he has sent up bas-
lzet full of provisions, so that they will
have supper and breakfast at least. But
they need fuel, clothes, medicine
everything. A more complete case of
destitution ! never saw, where there
was not drunkenness to cause it, and
the poor woman so brave through it all,
and proudly hnshing the children when
they said to me that they were hungry
and cold"
81 will go there tonight alone, and
here is $40 for you to buy and send up
at once to them what they most need
for over Sunday"
Mrs. Estabrooll wrote down the adj
dress and called her carriage. Quickly
DOMINIC a street suit, she was soon
alighting at the entrance of narrow
street, and instructed her coachman to
wait there for her, as she did not like
to intrude her private carriage and
servants where it would create a stir
and sensation, as such an equipage is
apt to do in tenement district

1t was indeed a sorrowful scene that
met her eyes. The children gazed upon
the beautiful woman in black who en-
tered their poverty home like
creature from, to- them, an unknown
world. They gazed with the widely
opened eyes of children accustomed to
patiently enduring deprivation.
They sat in silence, as if abashed by
the presence of coming death and the
poverty about them, as well as by the
presence of beautiful stranger. Had
She not been in black they would have
thought her fairy, but they had never
read of fairies clothed in mourning.
They were doing nothing" as the very
poor often are found, because they had
nothing to do" with!
Mrs. Crandall was as neat as her pow
erty would permit her to be. There
were neither rags nor unkempt heads of
hair, but patches were plainly in evil
dence. and the lack of comforts every
where.
Mr.. Crandall had been failing for
many months, and now the doctor had
said that it was but question of days
when he would be cut of his misery.
Their few savings, for they had been a
thrifty family, had soon melted away
for his medicines and their daily food.
The doctor expected no pay for his time
and advice, but the druggist had de-
manded cash for each prescription
filed. Mrs. Crandall pitifully told how
she had managed at first, by the help
of the two older girls about the house
before and after school daily, to find
odd moments to sew by daylight, but
her needlework had been chiefly done
at night. when her husbands maps were
longest Yet she had only delayed the
hour which was now TO be met, when
there was nothing for druggist OF

work elsewhere, as so often her work

LAW OF SEL.F-CEFENSE.
Where Protection Ends and Revenge
Begins.

The right of self-defense is by some
old writer's declared to be inherent in
all men by the law of nature. Now these
natural rights" are all very well, but
they are not recognized by the law of
Great Britain. 1t is the law that man
may defend himself, his wife, child, OF
servant, from physical aggression. He
may also repel by force forcible at
tack upon his property. When you, or
your wife, child, or servant is attacked.
or threatened with violence in such a
manner as reasonably to lead you to
believe that violence is about to be used,
you may resist the aggressor. And as
the best mode of resistance is very often
to attack, you may lawfully follow the
advice given by an old prize fighter to
a pupil, j. e., get in the first whack."
But self-defense must be moderate. 1t
must not be totally disproportioned to
the attack For instance, if a hulking
ruffian runs at me with knife (says the
Family lawyer, / may shoot him. But
if he runs at me merely with his fists
clenched, and ! shoot him dead with n
revolver, l shall probably be hanged by
the neck. Not that the law expects IA
man to be calm and cool and collected
in all circumstances. BY no means.
For instance, if the said burly ruffian
rushes at me with clenched fists, evil
IDENTIFY meaning mischief, and hit him
with heavy stick on the back of the
ear, I may kill him. But shall not be
hanged for that. | had right to use
the stick; and in the circumstances [
am not to be supposed to be cool enough
to aim for the spot not likely to be fatal.
] Again, self-defense must not develop
/ into revenge. Thus, if am threatened
with a knife, and by the timely display
of pistol | brighten my assailant so
that he runs away, | must not shoot
after him. If do, am just as liable as
though he had never threatened me, be-
cause / shoot at him in self-defense,
but by way of punishment or revenge

CoIorfng Easter Eggs.

Easter eggs can be colored with ami
line dye. 1t should be diluted to the
proper shade and the eggs boiled in it,.
Green, the color of hope and resurrec-
ton, is particularly appropriate, but a
variety is pleasing-rcd, pink, blue,
pale yellow and purple. Eggs can be
boiled hard, and painted in water-col-
ors with a single spring flower, as a
primrose, or a butterfly, also a symbol
of the resurrection. They should be ar
ranged in nests of moss. German chill
dren believe that the Easter eggs are
laid by hares, so representations of this
little animal are often placed on them,
or near them. Painted butterflies,
mounted on wire, can be made to hover
over the nest.-Ladies' Home journal.

took the weeping child in her arms and
"loved her. till she ceased crying? Was
not the child's wall very similar in
word and spirit to the wall she had given
voice to when Helena was taken from
her? What was she, herself, but an
older babe?
''Do not worry, Mrs. Grandall, about
getting sewing to do; will see that all
your present needs are provided for,
and by the by will be time enough to

carriage and was driven TO her home, a
wiser if not a sadder woman than she
had been for many a day. To think
that she had been selfishly bemoaning
/ Helena's transition TO a higher life,
when there was such real, living trouble
at her door, needing the comfort that
she could so easily give.
She had said that she could not give
up Helena's dolls, and little Minnie
Crandall had had to give her only doll
to the washwOman, TO ease a suffering
father. --

"Dear Helena, how glad she will be
tomorrow, to know that her toys have
gone to glad Eastertide for one of God S
little onesi"
Her neart as last was stirred to it's
most generous depths, and early Easter
morning, on her way to church, she
drove to the door of the Crandalls' poor
home, for this time the carriage held
that which made it needful to drive into
the narrow court
The faithful John had had to make
several trips to and from the carriage,
for there was basket of dainty dishes
for the invalid; and the dolls bedstead
with its sleeping twins, that would open
their eyes when Minnie should take
them up; the tiny tea table and arm
chair; the china tea set and boxes full
of other toys. There were Helena's
gowns and other clothes for Minnie,
and plain gowns of her own for the
other girls. (At home she had left in
box, ready to be sent when needed,
her own plainest suit of black for Mrs.
| Crandall.) There was a box of books,
many of them Juveniles from her own
girlhood's library, and there was not
only a Bible, suitable for use on that
"last OCCASION" now so close at hand,
but there were Testaments for Bella
and Carrie, to replace those that had
been sold for food and medicine.

heart hard and selfish"
When it was all over, Mrs. Crandall
was helped to move into brighter and
healthier locality and the tenement,
though small, was made tidy and com

came INTERESTED in her case and fine

Indeed. the Easter gift of Helena s
toys was the harbinger of good to Mrs.
Estabrook in full as great degree as
to the family she assisted out of tenn
porary slough of distress. She kept a

AFTER and rejoieed equally with the
mother when, couple of years later,
the eldest graduated from the public
school with fair business education
and at once became wage-earner. A
girl at 10 and fresh from grammar
school, who could earn three dollars a
week, looked to one of the leisure class
like prodigy.
Life was Frightening for the Gran
dalls. Two years later the second daugh-
ter did as well. There were three wage
earners now, and they were n self-sup-
porting family, all owing to the timely
help given.
In remembrance of her own gain, each
Easter sees its package marked for
"Mrs. Crandall and family"
She feels that God sent her to them
for her own good, fully as much as fol
theirs, and that then, for the first time
her eyes were opened to the real truth
of those words that she had often re-
peated, but never believed $50 she now
thinks, that SIT is more blessed to give
than to receive. "-Keziah SHELTON, in
