"1 do wnmler why tin wo little savages are allowed Li make a roasting hill of the |atl>- lie highway grumbled an uneoiiimonly pretty girl, as she besltaLsl in great pertur bation half way up the improvised slide lueUliiietl. It was an irregular and rather preeipi tons eross street of a suburban village. It was treacherously icy ami swarming witli juvenile roasters, one of whom had carried a strip of silkisl ruby tlounee with him as lie darted past her. "It is quite list had ! ami my very liieest dress, too," she romplaimsl, mentally, as she stopped to draw lack and pin together the damaged bit of drapery. In the nunoyanceof the moment she did not reflect that something more unpleasant war quite |iotwible If she were not vigilant. She w'tis quite too rugroased to hear ls>y ish shouts of warning in the road above Iter, or to sis* au agile figure that was springing aflVightodly toward her. A big sh*d freighted with half a dozen reckless urchins, had startisl down tin* tempting dix-eiit ; on the glassy track it had liocouic partly titiiuiiuagcable ; in a second more it would lie tqioii her unless she Inssl those warning shouts or a miracle 1 titerisis *il to save her. Uefore she really had tiuic to comprehend her |s*ril or understuml the sudden, shrill vociferation, there wtis a wild w birring in the air aikl a tiugliug sluK'k, ami tin* next instant stie felt herself violently w liiriisl a side by a strong arm whirl) had seized her as the sled Hew past. The agile figure of a manly pedestrian, whose affrighted gestures she had not no ticed, had Hung himself lietwecu her and death, or worse, and site was safe. As she strugghsl to lu*r feet a cry of grat itude and pity quivered from her starth*d lips. She fully realized what her jieril had l**cn and her pity was for licr handsome rescuer, who wits lying stunned and bruised and bleeding before her. "Oh, what can I soy to you ?—what can I do ?" sin* faltered, in a distressing voice, as she Lent over him. His handsome features were alarmingly pallid, and there were tiny drops of warm ml blood staining the frozen snow which pillowed his fallen htuul. Hut the bright dark eyes enclosed with a Hashing smile which was delightfully tran quiliziug. "Say only that I have made a charming friend," he smiled, as with a wince of pain he uplifted himself to a sitting jmature. "I am not badly hurt. 1 have a surface gash on my cheek, 1 think, and I have a notion there is a sprained limb. I shall uot lc able lo get to my destination—that's cer tain," he added, as lie made an heroic at tempt Li stand uprigh, only to siuk liuck again with a suppressed groan. .lust then the hig sled was hauled hack up the str*ct, the reckless coasters all jieiii tent and terrified, and eager to render every service. A helpful idea brightened the girl's aux ious face. "It would IK* an hour Imfore pnqier as sistance could lie brought to you here," she said, in her quick, sweet, girlish voice. "Hut there is a dear, motherly old lady liv ing in that little cottage at the top of the hill. Ist the lmys put you on the sled ami take you up to her. She is my friend and she will lo whatever I wish." And so a few minutes later the injured young gentleman was snugly ensconced on a cosy lounge of the rosy little cottage and a physician had Is*n sent for. "Ah, you will Is* all tight again in a few days," the doctor said, cheerfully, "only you must kis*p yourself jK*rfeetly quiet, and not try to exert yourself in any way." "I can reconcile myself to the situation easily if you will promise to clier my im prisonment occasionally," the gentleman said, with one of his Hashing smiles toward the pretty girl, who readily promised what he weined so eagerly to desire. ' And that was the lieginning of pretty Doritnla Grey's acquaintance with the handsome young stranger whom she had exalted to a hero —a king among men. lie had done only what any other man would have done in similar circumstances. He had simply snatched her away from the track of the fiving sled. He had )K*r*eived no risk to ldinself,no sacrifice :he liad lieen safely heyoml any col lit* ion with the coaster —it was his own awkward stumble on the treacherously glassly incline which had caused his mishap. The js ril was over w hen he had slip]M*d tt]>on one of liis heels and fallen. It might havehappeued just the same even if he had not hastened gallantly to the rescue of a distract I ugly pretty girl. Hut these were trilling little truths which he did not deem absolutely necessary to re veal. It was too pleasant to iose as a wounded hero, and to have his tenqiorary confinement enlivened by the visits of his graceful and iiitesting new acquaintance. For his own sake he preferred not to siKii! her little illusions on the subject. And so Doritnla went homeward, taking with her the image of an elegant figure and handsome countenance of a fascinating young stranger, whose tones were like mu sic. whose smile was like a Hash of sun light, whose brilliant black eyes had gazed admiringly, almost tenderly, into Iter own. Her own great brown eyes were bright as stars, cheeks Hushed with a curiously wa vering rose tint, as she at length entered the fine old yellow stone mansion a the fur ther end of the village street. "What on earth lias kept you so long Dodo ?" queried a tall and stately young lady In an elegant morning dress of Sevres blue satin. "Did they have the kind of paehn braid I wanted at the store ?—or did you forget your errand, and stay all this time gossiping with that simple old Mrs. Merrou ?" The rose tint deepened to crimson on Do do's pretty cheeks, hut she did no choose to explain what had deterred her at Mrs. Mer ron's cottage on the hill "I couldn't get the braid, Gretta ; they don't keep it," she answered. "It is a bon net braid, anyhow, and that wouldn't do for your dress." "A lionnet braid ! dear me ! How stupid a dressmaker can be !" Gretchen exclaimed, impatiently. "Hut if she will only have the dress finished somehow by the time Mr. Lestrange gets here I won't grumble about minor blunders. And now, Dodo, do ho o hliging and help me with the trimmings of the ancient hall gown." "It is too ancient to lie rejuvenized, Gre ta ; it ought, to he replaced by a uew gown altogether," said Dodo, looking with decid ed resistance at the Risk suggested. "It tle)H*nds on yott. Dodo, whether we, any of us, ever have anything new again," sighed a faded little woman from her inva lid ehair Is-fore the lire. I lotto looked distressed, and all tile lovely color suddenly paled from Iter pretty checks. "th utility, how dis s it depend on me ?" she falterisl, although she guessed what the allusion meant. "1 think you will never quite forget the hours which we have p:uuusl together here," lie said, with seemingly a regretful glance around the room, ami at motherly Mrs. Merrou, asleep owr her kiiitting U*fore the flic. "They have lmen hour, to lie remem herisl by lsth of us.' He had Wut over her until his dark mus tache brushed her forehead ; he hurl clasped lsitli her hands. There was the tenderest signitieance in his musical tones ; the fas cination of what seemed teiuleroat love gl iwed in the lirilliant eyes. Dodo trendihsl. She liad made him her hero 'undoubtedly ; hut in that instant her w hole ls-ing recoiled from him. Why, she could not have explained ; she only knew she was amused somehow to n true knowledge of her own feelings. He h;ul eliurmtsl her faneies for the mouieut, js-r --lrajis, liut no love —sweet and supreme— would ever thrill her soul for him. "I ought to have gone la-fore," he contin ued, uneasily, aa if he were dreading some reproach from Dodo herself. "Hut I was hardly presentable with a pulled ami pur ple bruise decorating a graally half of my eouuL-tiance. And my destination is near er than you guessed, Dodo ; my dear little girl, you and 1 are to meet again, and often." Dodo noticed the uneasiness of his tones, his entire, changed expression, ami with a sudden quick instinct she gruK]>od the truth. "You are—are—Mr. Lestrangc ?" she grasjssl, with a strange look in her big brown eyes. "You are my cousin Greta's promised husband." He liowcd in a manner so conscious and embarrassed that all Dodo's houcst little sou! arose to hot iudigiiatioti against him. He was no longer a hero in her sight. He was an insincere, shallow tritier, who had amused himself with her simple blushes at his practiced flattery. Stub sublime audaeitv, such consummate falsity, stunned her. With a look of with ering scorn she turned and left him in utter disgust. "1 pity Greta, cross and selHsh as she is," Dodo thought, as she went slow ly up the steps of the old yellow stone mansion. As she entered the pleasant family sit ting-room Greta pressed rudely and sullen ly jiast her and tripix*] up the stairs. Mrs. Gray was weeping almost convul sively in her invalid chair before the fire. "What has hap|iened, aunty ?" the girl queried, anxiously and affectionately. Dodo was sincerely attached to her inva lid aunt, whose trials had, indeed, been many nud grievous. "It is that mortgage," was the ]fctoous answer. "There is to be an immediate fore closure. We shall IK* absolutely homeless ; there won't IK* f 100 left after the sale. I don't care for myself, nor so much on Greta's account—she can earn her own liv ing if she chooses ; hut there are the jxsir children —Tommy and Willy ! What will become of them ?" D<HIO stopped and kissed her aunt in get*.- tle sympathy, hut she was silent. "Dodo, I can't ask you to do anything that might make you unhappy," the weep ing woman resumed, "and it acems cruel to remind you that 1 have leeu like a mother to you. Hut, my dear, if you only would consider everything and then decide to do what 1 would like. Ami David is waiting for you, dear. He is in the parlor now." Dodo's pretty face fiush*d with a sudden sense of her own lack of feeling for others. She had not considered everything as she might have done—that was certain. Mrs. Grey liad indeed lieon like a mother to her. In her orphaned and penniless childhood slie had leen taken into the fam ily as one of their, own. She had shared and shared alike with tlietn in everything ; no hint of her dependence had ever lieen per mitted to pain her. Even the selfish and sometimes disagreeable Greta liad treated her entirely as a sister. Ami when the dear kind uncle left them she mourned him as one who had lieen to her like an indulgent father. The flush hal vanished from her pretty cheeks ; her face was jxtle and her large brown eyes very serious as she opened the |>arlor door and advanced rather timidly to ward the gentleman waiting for Iter. The serious eyes dropped and her voice choked as she glanced at the earnest face and fine Saxon looking figure of her patient, true, lover. How could she have tried to shut Iter fool ish heart against the love of one all noble and loyal ever she wondered ? But she meant to lie frank with him ; site would confess all her folly—she would even tell him aliout that dreadful mortgage, and then, if he loved her no longer she could not hlatne him. He misinterpreted the agitation of the pale face, ami checked the confusion before it was begun. "I am not here to hurry your answer, Do do !" he saiii very gently. "You shall have your own time about that,' my darling. I have come on quite a different errand. I have just learned that your aunt has lieen threatened with some financial trouble, and I have ventured to adjust the matter by buying the mortgage. I know how hard it would IK* for her to give up her old home, and how hard it would IK* for you to see lier in such distress when she lias always lieen such a good mother to you. And I just took the afiair in my own hands and her trouble is ended. "Why, Dodo, my little love, what Is this ?" he finished in surprise. For Dodo had suddenly Hung herself face downward on the sofa, and was crying its if lier heart would break. "And it was the mortgage which haul come between you and me, David," she cried, with a nervous laugh mingling with the sound of tears. "I wouldn't marry you just because poor aunty wanted your help alKiut it, and I tried to hate you, and " "And you couldn't," he interrnped, in a voice shaken with its sudden deep gladness, as he took her in his arms and kissed the wet eyes and quivering lips. And so David Carlyon won his bride." Greta became eventually the wife of her elegant Mr. Lestrange, and regards herself as the most fortunate of women.— New York Journal. —SUBSCRIBE for the JOURNAL.

According to the statistical rejsirt of thy Sunday schools in the Uliilcsl States ren dered at the late Interiiatiotial Convention held in Chicago, there has Issen nil increase in the scholar incinlsTshi|i of all the Sun day si'liisds in the I'.

That there is great need for more of just such work in our country, is evident from the fact that according to the Interna tional Secretary's rejsirt there are hut 8,- 034,.178 scholars in all the Sunday schools iu the United States, that report to this con vention, which the chairman ot the Execu tive Committee said was Ave jierjcent. too small.

A Poser to a Granger. Ho was fresh from the wilds of Michigan and on his first visit to New York. His city cousin had been showing him the sights of the great city, and it was evening when they turned up Union square. 'See the bright light away up on that pole ?' asked the cousin. 'Ayupl' said John. 'Well, that's the big electric light.' John was much interested ; and thrusting bis bands into his pockets, he gazed long and earnestly at the brilliant display. 'Purty, ain't it ?' he said at last in an admiring tone. 'Cut, George,' with another glance at the light, 'how in the old Ned do they ever git up there to light it?'—Drake's Magazine* A happy feature of the school sys tem iu Germany and Switzerland, and one worthy of the consideration of other countries, is what are known as heat holidays.

The Vast ling gage Depot*—ltalian and Irish—Mulberry Street. I put in the afternoon tho other day at Castle Garden, and the view was novel. There is first the great rotun da, which the immigrants enter di rectly from the steamer ; on each flunk of this are the balls and rooms for separating and classifying them and the vast baggage depots. Pro vision stands supply focd at rates pre scribed by the commissioners, gener ally cheaper than in the city outside ; interpreters for the principal languag es stand ready to give information, and in the center is the bank where for eign money is exchanged for Ameri can at a trifling cost. Between the rotunda and the park are the offices, w here the name, race and destination of each immigrant is enrolled; the post office, where the names are loud ly called from time to time of those whom letters await, and the various rooms for washing and other purpos es. All sick persons are sent to Ward's Island to a hospital. Missionaries, a. geuts of benevolent societies, hotel runners and news paper men Lave the i freedom of the floor nnder person bed rules ; and all the officials are polite and prompt in giving information. All around the rotunda are groups of immigrants, the Italians predominat ing , for most of the Irish are met by friends and acquaintances, and only remain long enough to get their bag gage passed. Imagine, if you can (I cannot de scribe it), the amusing and affecting scenes, as the Irish long in this coun try meet the new arrived—the ardent embrace, the poetic expressions of en dearment, the smiles, the laughter, the tears- The Italians appear dull and uninteresting ; those longest in this city seem as much like foreigners as those just arrived. They are near ly all from the south of Italy ; nearly all took ship at Naples, and are dis tressingly swarthy in plain language, dirty. Now and then a Piedmonter or Venetian appears like white Bos tonian among a lot of quadroons. As the brown Napolese go up town theirappearance is distresr ing,especially tbewomenjbut those resi dent on Mulberry street look even worse. I passed a group of the latter this morning—skinny, swarthy old women bareheaded, barefoo ted, stooping un der the weight of heavy bags filled with papers and other staff gleaned from about the offices ; and occasion ally I meet them loaded down with broken boards, barrel hoops and staves—tbe wreckage from a recent fire or removal. They carry this stuff away up in the small tenement bouses to their little dens where they splinter and pack it into little pack ages of lighters or kindling. What can life be worth to such people? And ret tbey don't seem in any hurry to die.—J. 11. Beadle in Rockville Trib une. Slang in Texas.
