THE LITTLE HEROINE
BY MRS. C.. , -ROLINE SOULE
Morning. again !' NA the wasted inva
lid lifted his head from the pillow and
louked pitifully over the dim . ropm.,
that the night had been longer Tu the
wretched sleep is dear. My poor, poor
wife—my darling babies—must they
freeze and starve ! Oh God ! it is tau
much !' And with tears gushing from
his eyes, the pale man buried. his head
in the scanty cuvering'and groaned aloud.
It was no wonder that he was out of
heart on that cold, dark December day.
At hest, he had hard struggle to get food,
and fur the past six months the struggle
had been almost desperate, for his wife
had not been able to assist hint in the
least, being confined to her bed with a
slow wasting disease. Ills little daughter
Maria, a pretty child of twelve, kept the
000 room tidy, and herself and little brot h
ers like wax. By the aid of her mother's
whispered directions she managed to do
up the weekly washing and ironing.
' My little sunbeam,' the father fondly
culled her, while her mother would say,
in her low, sweet tones, our angel.'
One night the young housekeeper wai
ted until it was pitch dark for her father
to come Ironic to his frugal supper. and
then, with - fearful forebodings at her heart
undressed the little boys and put them to
bed, and tied on her hood and cloak to go
for him. A crowd met her at the very
threshold. With a wild cry, she rushed
towards the inanimate form they carried
upon a board. It was her father brought
home to them with a broken leg.
A week passed since this misfor
tune. By the sale of their ,few pieces of
furniture, the wolf had been kept front
the door. But now nothintr v' remained
save the coarse bed on which the distress
ed ones slept. No coal for the little grate,
no tea lot the feve.ish lips ; no crusts for
the famished children ! W hafThould be
done ? It was a question little Marie
asked herself again and again us they lay
there watching the few pale sunbeams
that struggled' throughA he Window. And
she asked it oftener after she had risen
and dressed herself and brothers, and
smoothed the two beds. Bread th...y
must have that, day. They were all faint
even now, and the boys , ilamored fur their
break fast.
Suddenly a bright thought came to the
little daughter. She remembered having
seen in the coffee houses, young girls, no
talkr than she, wailing upon the custo
mers. Perhaps they'would try her. 'lf
they only would,' she murmured softly.

would try so hard to oblige. I am pretty
too, she might truly have added, had there
been a spark of vanity -in her- heart; for
she was a sweet child, with a brow like a
sunny snowdrift, and eyes like the spring
violets that' nestle in the woodland. I
Will trY, at least, and see what I can do ,'
and atter watching a moment the weary
sleep of her parents, she whispered to the
little" boysthat she was going out to get
some bread for -them, and hdrried aWay.
She did go to the baker's but the piti
ful story•failed to touch his :hard heart,
and there were tears on her cold cheeks
as she, turned away. *, Even' if she %Mid
secure „a place,- she - could 'hope -for- no
wages till Saturday, and there were four
weary days betw,een this and that,- Bread
would. be too .late if she waited till then.
What should she ? *asked
herself the question -with a quivering lip

the picture of that wretched
home fresh in her vision, to plead for
charity. But she did it. Again and
again she said to the passers by,
sir, please ma'm give me a penny to buy
bread for my sick parents.'
But the gentlemen bud their overcoats
buttoned to their chins, and the lathes
were enveloped in furs, and it was too
much trouble to find their pocket books
or purses just to supplya beggar's wants.
' Co to the soup house,' said one at lust,
more churlish than the rest. "l'he city
pro - vides for such as you."
It was a new id a to her, and as fast as
her feet could carry her she went, and
entering in breathless haste told her story
to the attendant Matron.
I will report the case to the committee,'
said the woman quietly, waking a memo
randum of the name and number of the
. 4reet. Come in to-morrOw morning,
,Trid I will do what I can for you.'
To morrow ! She would he too weak
to walk so far by that time, and what
would become of the rest?
With a heavy heart, she went home,
having o courage to present herself as a
waiter to any of the coffee houses she
passed on her way.
Did you get :tome ?' cried the boys,
;gathering about her, and pulling off her
cloak to see flit was hidden in her cloak
or under her anus.
Pid you get some r said faint voices
from the bed in (he curlier, aylthe
cover
let was thrown off; slid tivo pairs of thin
white hands put forth.
No, no,' she answered plaintively—
But I will try again. Keep up good
hope.'
MT=
There will be plenty out of the oven
now. Yes, plenty,' she said to herself,
as she buttoned her cloak o❑ the .thresh
old 'plenty and have some too. They
shall nut starve. Alen and women for
.sidie tee ; God doesn't hear Inc any lon
ger': There is yothing lef*tbr me to do
lout steal'
Iler face paled as she spike it, and for
w„ . niotnent's there was a wild wrestle
in her heart. Then she went on quietly
pausing an instant before eich baker's
door, and looking anxiously within. By
and-by she found one that seemed to be
empty.
A whole pile of steaming loaves lay on
the counter,/ -
She rus,l;d in and seized one, and hid
ing it under herAdoak, fled madly up the
street. But the baker had seen her from
he little sitting-room door, and was after

A clear case,' said the police officer,
who took her in hand—property found
on her. ,•She-inust go to the court-room•'
In vain she pleaded with them and told
her story.
They-must do their duty, she might
have binged ; she might nave gone to the
soup house ; there was no excuse fur steal
ing, at any rate.'
No excuse, and her parents were dying
for food
An important trial was just clos'ng, and
all the avenues to the court house were
thronged.

cer to the baker; 'we'll wait here ate.
moments No danger of her getting away
while wy grip is on her,' and tightened
his grip on the shrinking arm till the flesh
quivei ed with pain.
Take me home first,' she said sadly ;
:they will worry about rue so. My poor
mother will die if sho thinks that 1 am
lost.'
''They'll soou find out where you are,'
said he gruffly. Bad news is like light
ning, it travels so fast'
' Oh dear, oh dear ! What will become
of them?' and she sobbed aloud.
A little girl about her age was passing
by; a rich wan's child—you would know
it by the embroidered dress and cloak,
the rich velvet hood, and the costly fur
tippet and muff. But there was no false
pride hidden under the expensive rai
ment ; a warm heart was beating' there,
and'its sympathies went out fin• towards
the pour little prisoner. For a moment
she pauses as if irresolute upon her plan
of actMu ; then laying het mittened hand
gently on the officer's, she said politely :
May I. speak with her'?'
0, yes. she's not committed yet.'
Putting her soft rosy cheek close to the
purple cold one, she whispered very ear

earnestly; 'and doti't you cry any wore;

up a gaud heart;' and off she tan.
She klaeu-'-11-or mother to be one of the
most charitable of women, and hastened
home to tell her mother the story of Ma
ria ; but unfortunately she had just gone
to ride, and would nut be back till near
dinner tune.
W hat can I du ?' she cried, wringing
hands.
They want coal, and bread, and tea
and so many things, and I have only ten
cents in my pocket."
She sat down on the marble steps and
pondered. Mi at once her eyes brigh
tened, and a beautiful color._ flushed her
face.
I'll do it,' she said resolutely; 'mam
ma willfergive me when she.-knows- all.

For a moment her lips quivered; then
she spoke up quickly.
You said once, •sir,you would give me
an eagle for my . curls. Will you do it
now—today—this minute ?'
The hair dresser was astonished. What
could the child mean. To cut off those
curls, long, silken, and gold colored, the
pale gold of a starry sunbeam; it would
have been sacrilege almost for a mother
to have done it : to sell them was surely
a crime.
' Dyes she, yo - ir mother, does she know
you came here?'
No sir, but she will -not blame me
when I tell her how it was. 0 no, she
is too good.'
And how is it My dear? Make a

stroked the glossy curls as tenderly as IL
a father might She hesitated, atd then
opened her heart to him. There was a
mist ou his eyes when she finished her
plaintive story. He walked the floor a
moment as if irresolute, then stoppinr,be
fbre her, he took out of his pocket•book,
and handed her two half eagles. Shp
put them in her purse, and quietly took
off her hood.

flow quick her little feet flew over the
pavement. She could hardly speak when
she had leached a baker's shop.
Two loaves, sir—large ones, too she
gasped, and threw down one of the gold
pie6es.
The man stated at her curiously. The
color rose to her brow, but she s rid noth
ing and hurried away with her warm,
fragrant, bundle.
'ls it you Mafia'?" What kept you so
long, daughter ? 'Quick, break rue a
crumb, I am faint.'
Like an angel the little stranger look
ed to them as she glided in, her cheeks
like apple blossoms, and her hair filling
over her shoulders like ripples of sun
shine.
'Marla cannot corn° home yet,' she said,
in a voice that was as sweet as a robin's
in :\lay , tinie. 'But she will return to-
I morrow; perhaps this evening, She has ,
sont me with the bread. See the two
nice loaves of bread I've brought you,'
and she tore it in fragments. Tears cours
ed down her face as she saw how eagerly
they clutched them. She had never known
how hungry folks may be, and live.
.I musr,,go
door ; but I will cone again soon and 1 .
make you comfortable,' and she hurried 1
to the nearest grocer and bought a baskefl
full of - provii.ioliA, "and erigagetrhild-tel
send in some kindlings and coal.
The little boys helped to build a fire in
the cold stove, and when it blazed merri
ly, she Pot on the kettle, and soon had a
refreshing cup of tea for each invalid, and
a platter of smoking potatoes for the chil
dren.
' Where is Maria, do you know, little
angel ?' asked the sick mother, as she gave
back the cup.
0, yes, I know,' she answered, cheer
fully. 'Di In't I say she would be'home
early to-morrow Don't worry. Better
days are cowing I'll bring her back in
the morning. Good bye.'
It was as though a fairy had come and
vanished; a kind-hearted fairy, too, for
beside the supply of coal and wood, a half
eagle lay in the sick Ether's hand.
Murmuring to himself all the tender
adjectives in the French language, the
good hair-dresser immediately hastened to'
the court room. The judge was a friend
of his, too, and he hoped to save the child
from prison. She had notyot been brunet,-

an hour. Be asked fur a private inter
view with the judge. As soon as it was
granted he told him all Maria's distress,
and the generous kindness of little The

Poor child !' good child! said his lis
tener wiping his glasses. 'She must gu
to prison, 1 suppose, but it shall be to h
chamber in my own house. Go into court
and tell the same story over; it will be
better than a lawyer's plea.'
lie did so, and there was not a dry eye
in the audience when he ceased. Even
the baker hung his head and Seemed to
muse. Before the breathless silence had
been broken he looked up and said, ' I
withdraw my complaint; let her go with
we and take all - she wtots:'-
The spacious room rung with applause ;
and while the enthusiasm was at its height
a thoughtful old man went 'about the
crowd with his hat. People's fingers
bound their pocket books as if by intui
tion, and when he poured the collection
into Maria's apron she screamed with joy.
No more hunger, no more cold, no more
nakedness that winter. They were rich.
The baker took her home himsalf,.and
told her at the door not to worry' about
bread till spring, for his Wagen• would
leave them : all they wanted every -morn
ing. How lightly she bounded up the
staircase. It was like a bird's footfall, a
singing bird's in the time oftiowers.
--'-Havo you come,-Maria? Two voices
spoke at once.
Yes mother, yes father, and we are
rich; sec 1' and she emptied - her - apron an

THE LEEDS MANUFACTORIES
From a valued friend, we have the follow
leg interesting deseliption of Probably the
largest.. mill-in -t-he world, •May we not ask
our American English . contOutur to let us
hear from her again.
Leeds stands at. the North-East corner
of the clothing district of the \Vest Ri
ding of Vol kshire. It is the chief* town
of the district, in respect both to the flat
and woolen manufactures. None of the
other towns, excepting, perhaps, Barns
ley, partake in any notable degree in the
former of these two manufactures; but
at Leeds it has led to the construction of
one of the fittest factories in the world,
and to others of great magnitude.
No one who pretends to knowanything
about, Leeds at the present day, can afford
to remain in ignorance of Marshall's flat
mill it, is one of the lions of the place.
Without, within, over it; under it—all is
vast, strange and wonderful. Situated at
a short distance South of the River Aire,
and bounded mostly by_poor dwellings, it
must be sought for before it will be found;
and-when found, there is one portion of
the establishment, the old mill, which is
too much like other mills to call for ob
servation; but the new mill is a marked
feature.
Egypt seems to have been in the
thoughts of the architect when he plan
ned this building; for the chimney has
the form and proportions of the world-re
nowthid - "Cleopatra's needle ;" while
the entrance exhibits a front nearly
analagous iu character to that of an
Egy p Clan Ve . . - -
The building, unlike almost all other
large factories, is only one story in bight.
It. exhibits on the eastern higade a long
range of massive pillars or pilasters be
tween the win ows, and a bold cornice
running along the top. The whole front
being formed of stone, and minute detail
being avoided; there is a sort of massive .
grandeur in this lung low facade. The
other facades are remarkable only for
their great length. Those who have the
good fortune to get a peep into the inte
rior, will not soon forget the sight which
I meets the eye. One room occupies the
whole : but such a room ! if we call it
the largest in the world, we cannot be
far in error. About Jour hundred feet
ling by more than two hundred broad, it
covers nearly two acres of pound. Bir
mingham is justly proud of its Town
i Hall, but this wonderful factory room is
'nine times as large; Exeter Hall is of tlAe
largest rooms in London, but it -would re
quire seven such to equalthe area of this
foully, the London club-houses present
(lades of- great length ' but it would re
tinue four of the largest to equal the
length of this pout. The room is about
twenty feet high, and the roof is suppor
ted by about fifty pillars The spaces
between the pillars allow the roof to. be
partitioned off into a series of flattish
domes, or groinedirches, sixty or seven
ty in number; and in the eentte of each
dome is a lofty conical sky-light, of such
large size that the whole series. together
contains ten thousand square feet of glass.
The view through the room is quite with
out a paralell. Vista after vista meets
the eye, formed by. the ranges of columns;
whether we stand at the side, the end,
the corner, the centre—still these long
stretching, well-lighted, busily-occupied
avenues carry the eye in beautiful per
spective to far distant points. There are
I believe, upwards of %a thousand persons
in this*room alone, mostly females;• and
the large.and cJimplicated machines are
very numerous: yet there is a kind of
airiness and• roominess felt, unusual in
in factories. Here, in one part of the
room, are t'. - e "flat drawing". operations
going on; in another part the t'roving"
in another the "spinning;" in another
the "twisting;'' all with such perfect liar
tnony and system, thatoopfusion and idle
nogg are equally out of the qu i tgion.
'We have seldom any indueerdet to visit
itieloWer regions of a factory, the vaults,
-or passages of the basement, Init such a
visit is not with Out its interest in this
vast - structure. Bd. - alt. - Vaulted passages

building. These arrangements are con

steam engine employed in forcing air into
the largo steam-chests,' whore it becomes
heated preirioui to being passed into the
Mill; 'and in order to regulate the temper
attire to the state of the weather, valves
and' dooykare placied in various parts.
Aslittle'inducementhtive gener
ally', to yibit the reef as the bagemerit of a

strongest part of the -- whole •
The 'roof is n green', fteld,• on which ; <it
we Mistake not) sheep ,are, allowed to
graze! Being so large and so ~ f lat,; and .
being_coverod thickly with_ _Oaster and
asphalte, the roof , offers a good support
for a stratum of earth; while this earth
renders an equivalent service by protect
ing the asphalte from the heat of the sun.
Hero we walk, then among the grass—
" out in the fields, if we please so to term
it ; and at every fcw yards we meet with
the skylights, which shoot up conically to
a height of seven or eight feet above the
grass. Beneath us, we look down through
the skylight at the spindles busily at
work ; above us, is the. blue sky; around
us, the buildings and smoke of Leeds.—
The
drainage of this factory-field passes
down the fifty pillars which support the
roof: they are made.hollow for this pur
pose.
If anything could mako us delighted
with the flat manufacture, it would be to
see it carried on in this unequalled room.
There are, howcv(r, many dirty processes
which are conducted in the old mill; and
all the other flat mills of Leeds have these
less-attractive operations."

TILE DRIVER DIDN'T LIKE 'EM.—One
of I tit r vast army of reporters was in Spring
field, Vermont, a few weeks ago, and
visited, by invitation, Smith & Mason's
extensive works for the manufacture of
the famous Patent "Eagle Talon" Hooks
and Eyes. A peculiar feature of this
wonderful Yankee invention is, unlike all
other hooks and eyes, they will not un
clasp of themselves, however much they
may be pulled, pushed - or shaken ; and,
although easily managed by the skilllul
fingers of the diviner sex, they are an un
revealed secret as it were, in the clumsy
hands of man.
On leaVing town the next morning, on
the box of the stage, our reporter was
profuse in his compliments—to the dri,
ver—of the mechanical skill and ingenu
ity displayed in Springfield, remarking
that he thought the 'Eagle Talon' Hooks
and Eyes was one of the greatest inven

'O, yes ; they unhook 'em easy enough,

'But you don't like them !'

Goldsmith's Deserted- Village.
A recent traveler thus writes of" Sweet
Auburn, loveliest village of the plain :"
" When Goldsmith was a boy, and hill
father curate of the parish, the place was
called Lishoy, and that name it still bears
among the peasants in the neighborhood;
but that which the tourist asks after it
at Athlone, is Auburn; the name which
Goldsmith gave it in the poem. It is
not much of a village—it is still deserted
and straggling; even around the" decent
church" there is no assemblage of houses,
and all that marks it is that, a little more
frequently than on the common toad, you
will find in the neighborhood of Auburn,
the thatched hovels of the poor. Miser.:'
able houses they are. I had become
quite interested in many of these little
huts in the southern and eastern part of
Ireland ; but here at Goldsmith's early
abode they are squalid and filthy. They
have not even the advantage of external
neatness. On the top of one the gratis
was growing, not prettily as ivy clings to
old walls, but thin and scraggy, as the
hair which sometimes crowns the head of
a bald man. Before some there was a
cow yard, and the manure was reeking
not six feet from the cabin doors. Pigs
were basking before some in the sun, and
as I looked in I could see nothing but
filth and wretchedness. Dirty children,
who were never clean in their lives, could
be spied iti the
_chimneys of lhe -hovels,
and tvonienat the doors crouching around
un iron pot, looking so, old and wrinkled
that one would think that death had tried
them in vain, and given them up to live.
Some were, closed, the men women and
children being away harvesting. A de
serted village, truly, the poorest dirtiest
places that l saw in all Ireland.
" Riding along a little further, an iron
gate appeared, and through the gate a
lane of some ten rods in length, and, at
the end the ruins of a large house. I
did not need to be told that that was the
parsonage. The car passed through the
gateway and up to the deserted mansion.
It was a sad sight. All roofless window
less and doorless it stood, and every wind
of heaven whistled through the walls of
the house where Oliver Goldsmith was
nursed and bred, and where the original
of the " Vicar of Wakefield," the Rev:
Charles Goldsmith, thlt good and simple
old man, reared his large family.. But
the deAcration within
The parlur is now used as a potato
patch. Their tops were green on the
very spot where the good man used to
entertain his selected friends. The cows
had taken possession of the kitchen and
study and 1 had carefully to pick out a
path to the. chimney place. These were
the three rooms on the lower floor, and it
is very easy to see how large the study
was, although the partition walla have
entirely disappeared; by the cream ool
ored.plaster of the - outside walls:Allah:
enclosed it."
S' MAKING LovF.—A book ought to be
written on this subject, under the title of
"Every man his own Idiot; or, Twenty
Seven Methods of being a genuine Don
key." Certain it is that people make
love quite as irregular as the Vermonters
make maple sugar—every man on his overt
hook, and in a manner peculiar to himself.
There is a straight-forward business
style in which real estate and bank ac
counts are enumerated and fitted up, with
a declaration that his worldly possessions
and himself are substituted by the sub.
scriber. There is the style poetical;
which delights in rhyming " kisses" with
" blisses," and in boring trees, books,
flowers, moonbeams, etc. There is the
style sentimental, in which rope-ladders,
stern parents, pistols and
~ , daggers, and
other variations of du i l life figure. There
is the style bashfulr'in whiCh the parties
meet in dad's orchard or mam's kitchen,
set themselves at twelve or twenty feet
distance, speaking no_ words whatever,.
only occasionally " sighing wofully," and
"hitching up" towards each other, with
down-cast eyes, at the rate of three-quar;
ters of an inch per hour. We. have al
ways thought this bashful and worthless
kind of courtship the most interesting es;
peciully when the parties thereto hardly
know what "ails 'ens !" But of.all the
methods of making love, that common one *
of meaning nothing, serions, is the stupid
est.and meanest; and any man who will
take up the time and'altention of an eli
gible young minor with that idea in his
head, ought to be provided with an ar
mor of asinine cuticle and sent to fight
the Amazons of Dahomey or Jeff Davis'
rebels.

shown through the Laboratory of our celebra4
