A Touching Incident.
New York Times.

An incident of a peculiarly touching
character occurred yesterday in one of
the elevated railroad stations, that
brought tears to the eyes of the passen-

the passengers saw entering the car
little boy about years old, half carried
by an older boy, evidently his brother.

Every individual who lives to grow
up" says a writer in Harper's Bazaar.
''has in all probability asked, at some
time in his life, what becomes of all the
pins that are manufactured and lost.
An old gentleman in London has pre-
pared himself to answer the question.
By series of experiments conducted
in his back garden he has discovered
that they go the way of all flesh and
are resolved into dust. Hair-pins, which
he watched for one hundred and fifty
four days, disappeared at the end of that
time, having been resolved into a fer
rous oxide, brownish rust, which was
blown away by the wind as it formed;
bright pins took nearly eighteen months
to disappear; polished steel needles
nearly two years and half; brass pins
had but little endurance; steel pins, at
the end of fifteen months, had nearly
gone, while their wooden holders were
still intact. Pencils, with which he also
experimental, suffered little by ex-
posture; the lead was unharmed and
the cedar almost as good as new

A story of the Street.

Some time ago l witnessed most
touching incident when waiting for a
car.
It was bitter evening and two little
newsboys were shivering on the street
corner, pleading with each passerby to
buy the evening papers, and just retail
ing enough of the sensational news of
the day to excite ones curiosity and
make him take the pains to dig into his
pockets for the requisite pennies. At
last there was lull in business; the
last passerby had somewhat cooled the
ardor of the little street gamins with
his coarse, brutal, Get out of the way
you miserable little brats!" The very
words seemed to carry winter into the
little fellows hearts.
Il say, Billy, I'm most froze," ex-
claimed the smaller boy, who, from ap-
pearances was not more than 5.
The boy thus addressed was larger
and | think, must have been brother
for look of solicitude and tenderness lit
up his face, as he pulled off his outer
ragged coat, and with the air of prince
dispensing bounty, exclaimed: Are
you, Bob? Why, l am real warm; here
take my coat" and suiting the action
to the word, he held the garment while
little, shivering Bob slipped into it with
the alacrity of a youth accustomed to
quick and energetic movements.
Aren't you cold, Billy?" queried the
little urchin from under the bundle of
rags.
"Oh, no, am all right; just hold my
papers till I start the blood runnin'."
And he vigorously struck his arms to
and fro.
A gentleman who witnessed this
slipped silver dollar into the hands of
each of the urchins; he spoke kind
word, and hurriedly entered a car which
was just then passing. It would be i'm
possible to say whether the giver or re-
celvers derived most pleasure from this
thoughtful deed; for the giving that is
prompted solely by love yields unalloyed
pleasure, and by adding to the develop
ment of the spiritual nature increases
its capacity for enjoyment.
Generosity is to the soul what rain is
TO the flowers, and love for man is as
sunshine to the growing earth. They
go hand in hand, and make life nobly
worthy. Let us, then swing open the
gates of our hearts. Let us seek by
kind words and thoughtful deeds to in
crease the happiness of those around
us. We may not have it in our power to
aid with money, but all can extend the
hand of sympathy and love. All can
speak the words that come as balm to
the aching hearth. 0. Flower in June

What Dickey Heard.
(EDIrED BY AUNT CLApA =

A little boy and a little bug. The boy
was Dickey. The bug was mistress
Tumblebug and she was slowly and
carefully crawling up sloping mound
of earth, carrying home mite Of some
thing good for her babies breakfast. But
every time she reached the top of the
little mound of earth, Dickey would tip
her over on her back, when she would
roll helplessly down to the bottom
again, while Dickey shouted with laugh

The little bug was a courageous and
persevering little creature, however. No
sooner would she Land all in a
heap at the bottom than another brave
effort to reach the top would BE begun
She would wiggle slowly over to her feet
and begin to crawl up again, only to be
tipped over on reaching the top Of the
little hill again. Dickey laughed until

bug did not laugh. although I'm not
sure but that tears were in her eyes.
She was crawling bravely up the hill
for the 18th time, when Dickey heard a
whistle close behind him, and turned
about in terror to find big Ben Walden
reaching for the long silky curls that
clustered under Dickey's plaid tam-o-
shanter.
Ben was the horror of Dickey's life
just now, for he had way of reaching
for those silky curls, taking out his
knife, sharpening it carefully on his
boot, when he would pretend to cut the
curls off, one by one. counting them
carefully as he pretended to lay them
down upon the ground behind Dickey.
1t was all SO real that the little boy
would tremble all over and cry as
though his heart would break. But Ben
would laugh, and snatching off Dickey's
cap, that was the joy of his heart, would
propose to rub it in the dirt, or to cut
the top out with his knife.

fact would not prove that Christianity

would simply prove that modern business

not a confession of the fOolishness of the

The teachings OF Jesus will work in the
