THE HOME CIRCLE.
HOW JOE FOUND Ills CHRISTMAS.
THE FORTUNATE RELEASE OF AN INNO-
 CENT SOUL.

Poor Joe stood alone on the SUreeU corner; a bundle of papers under one arm, his raw, red hands in his ragged pockets, his wet sodden feet in their wretched covering aching with the cold; his gaze travelling duly from the windows of the big office building op- posite to the pedestrians on the pave ment-and from them all he extract ted no ray of comfort. He was very wretched, was poor Joe, and yet he did not know it, for wretchedness was so part of his existence that he knew no other state. The only time he was not wretched was sometimes in the summer, when it was neither too hot nor too cold, and he could escape the eagle eye of the park policeman, and sleep contentedly under some shelter ing tree; or when in the dusk he could find an opportunity to slip noiselessly into the river and let it's cool flood lave his sweltering limbs.
 He had no home. The only shelter he knew was the dirty rooms of Bridg- ct O'Halloran, who sometimes let him bunk in the corner of her kitchen, and gave him bite and sup when she was not drunk. He said that Biddy was very good to him,-so she was.
 This was a miserable, dirty day, with the snow from the late storm moving under the feet of the shoppers and in the street, and yet with a chill in the air that presaged another storm. Yet the Christmas shoppers hurried by, regardless of snow or wet or chill. They had happy faces. The anticipa' tion of pleasant surprises gave them joy, and all and every one had some small sum at least to spend in Christ mas shopping, and they had no glance for poor Joe, who stood there on the corner, shivering in the chill wind and at regular intervals opening his blue lips to let the cry Of "Papers!" is sue from them. A cry that might re- mind one of the mournful peep of g half-grown chicken, deserted by a heartless 'hen-mother and trailing around the world alone.
 l IVC1y OuC pcooCd Oy h1ul, luo I1o OAS wanted his "papers." At length OF the platform of crowded street car he saw man, with many packages under his arms, who beckoned to him as the conductor rang the bell for the motor man to start. With a bound he reach ed the car, handed out a paper, an6 then ran along by it's side, while .hi' customer fumbled in his pocket fol the change.
 And then, he did not know how ii was, there was shrill cry from tht street, the sound of harsh whistle , blowing furiously, a roar, crash. Al automobile sped carelessly down thu , street, with several muffled fgure and many packages loaded in it. 4 } policeman cried to it to stop, crowt ] gathered around the corner and thu ) car, and poor Joe lay senseless ant bleeding there.
 r When he opened his eyes it wa , night, and he lay in a hospital cot il l a hospital ward: but yet he knew no l where he was. It was large room . and the walls were glistening white Around the sides were many white ' beds and in them were human forms ; and around them moved Sisters O
