He hurries on with eased an 1 thankful heart; And of a sudden sees brfore him start From a by-street the figure of a ch'ld, A wretched girl in rags, who put up wild Entreating hinds, and ciiea out piteoualy, •* Oh, Sir 1 who is there^who will come and sea My fatter? He is very sickl I fearâ€" ' " My child, I will gi with you. Is it near?" And, comprehendLg what jhe scarce can say. He follows where she quickly It ads the way. Down the by street were red-eyed rum-shops And with hot breath defile the evening air. Where pines pale Poverty, while Vice and Crime With lurid orgies vex the hallowed time Across the court and upward through the gloom Of cr. aklBg stairs, she leads to a cold room, Ill-odored with foul drugs and misery, Where from his couch a man starts up to see A stranger come. " Art thou the Christ?" he cries And in the wan white face and wondrous eyes. Where now the awful fires of fever bum, Is something which recalls to Allatbum Old Rtcha; d's book-shop and one long ago White Christmas eve. " Art thou the Christ or no v «* Not I," said Maurice, as amazed he stood, " But in Hia name I come to do yon good." «' Idle your labor, if you be n»t He. No Christ at second-hsnd will do for me.

Under the buttercups, in the cool ground. While I am burning. Where are you, my girl Fide ia child my bram is all a-whirl. I c*n not see you well." She nestles near " Oh, father I don't you know me I am here." With feeble hand he takes her thin wan shoulder, And for an eager momeit seems to bold her In hia soal's steadfast gaze he sees the sad And patient little face which never had Its share of smilts; small features, which should be All freshness, pinched with early penury. And eyesâ€" still like her mother's, tender blue.

In an aviary fa London one of a pidr of singularly attractive paroqueta died, and the male bird was fa despair. Heconsoled him- self, however, as males will, with a pretty greenfinch, until, to the astonishment of the onlookers, another parrqnet appeared before the wires askfag for admittance. Noce knew whence it came and the strang- er was let fa. Immediately the faithless male deserted the greenfinch and adopted his heaven-sent apouie. The poor finch, then out in the. cold, pfaed and perched alone with ru filed feathers. The newly mated parcquets took pity upon it and con- soled ic, so that it now perches between them, and the strarge trio live happily to- gether.
