INTE,LIAIO RAIN. It was a bleak wiat7 day. Heavy snow drifts lay ',Ned up in the Streets of New Yoritiand the whole appearance of the , eity , Vraft cold and Steated upon the stOns of one of the large dwellings a& Fifth Avenue, was a boy apparently! -thirteen years of age. He was literally clothed in rugs, and his hands here blue, and his teeth chattered with'cold. Lying on his knees wriS a pieeeernevagiaper he had picked up In ()net& the streets, and was trying toiread the words upon it. He had thus peeupied him self for some time, - when two little girls, clad in silks atcd , furs, cUme ward him. The eldesfewas abigt•twelvel years of age, and sf) beaut I.that the poor. boy raleed his oyesitid fixed them tipon her In undisgtifiled admiration. The child of *ealtltatopped before hire, and, turning 16 W. companion, etclairned : - "Miriam, Just seeptitfellowon my steps! Boy, what ate you doing "I am trying , to 1 4 read upon thiS little strip of answered the boy. truly, I h of intel lect in rags, and htoilt Is personi fied." . • Mariam's soft bldgtiisirrtlied` with tears asshorepliedfr'n: - ..' "Oh, 'Louise! drip ljteo •, you know that *Miss Fa ,- : W.ties us at school : 'The rich A - , *neetto gether, and the ...!Xitker of ails tr ‘ - dLouise laughed , -sal to the boy' ,95tet you shaltnefaltriost met • The boy arose;ll,4 d a lush erinp soned his face. He *RA walking away when Mariam said: O eD M ea. m MI wt "Don't go, little boy, you are so cold ; come to my house and get warm. Oh, do come!" she contin ued, as he hesitated ; and he followed her into a large kitchen, where bright fire was shedding its genial warmth around. "Veil, Miss Mariam. and *ho are you bringing here noW ?" asked a servant woman. "A poor boy, who was almost per ished. You will let him warm ; will you not, Rachel ?" "Oh. he shall he warmed—sit here little boy," and she pushed nchairin front of the stove, and'then gave him bread and meat. Mariam watched the arrangements and then glided frimn the room ; when she returned she had a primer, with the first rudiments of reading and spelling. Going to the boy, she said : "Little boy, here is a book that you may learn to read from better than a piece of paper. Do you know your letters`."' "Some of them, hut not all. I nev er had anybody to teach me. I just learned myself. But, Oh ! I want to read so badly." Mariam sat down beside him, and began teaching him his lettera. She way s o busily ungliged in this work that she did not see her mother enter the room, nor 11P111" I tail) P 1 p1:1 il3 shout the boy, nor did she know that her mother stood some time behind her listening to her noble child teaeh ing the beggar 1-0 y his letters, There were but few that he had no already learned himself, and it was not long before Mariam had the sat isfitction of hearing him repeat the alphaly.t. When he arose to go, he thanked Rachel for her kindness, awl offered Mariana her hook. "I don't want it-1 have given it to you to learn to rend from. Won't you tell me your name?" "Jimmy," he replied. . "I will not forget you, Jimmy— you must al ways remember Mariana Hayes, won't. you ?" was the little girl's farewell, • Louise Garditter and Mariam Hayes were plaftnates anti friends. Their dwellings joined, and almost every hour of the day they were to gether, for they attended the same schnol. These t v iehildren were dif ferently dispositioned and brought up—Louise was proud and haughty. Poverty in her eyes was a disgrace and crime, and 'he thought nothing leo severe for the poor to suffer.— These views she learned from her mother. Madame (iardiner moved in one exclusive circle—the bon fon of New York. Without Its precincts she never ventured. except to visit her mother's friends, and was grow ing up believing herself even better than they. • The teaching that Mariam Hayes ,reteived was totally different from this. Mrs. Gardiner was one of Mrs. Hayes' most particular friends—yet. though she moved in that circle, she WO far from one of them. .Her doc trine was thetext her girl had twd— "the rich and the poor meet together and the Lord is . the Maker of-them all." This she a taught MariamH There was no dfitinction in wealth and position; the distinction was in worth alone. She taught her t!'ev erence age and piety; the p ond destitute; and, that pleasant words were sweet as honey-comb, sweet to theAnul—a little kindness was better than money. Mariam learned the lesson well, and was ever ready to dispense her gentle words to all, whether they were wealthy and In fluential. or ragged and indigent. as the boy she had that, morning be friended. * * * * * A. gay and brilliant throng was gathered in Washington. Congress was in session, and the hotels'; were crowded with strangers. It was an eveninghpEuty. The brilliantlyilght- =I EMII _AND- I 1611 cid TOMS were tilled with youth awl beauty. Standing near one of the doors Were two young ladies, busily engaged - .conversing together. The elder of the two suddenly exclaimed: "Oh; Mariam ! have you seen the new member from W.? " "Nd; but I have beard .a great dear about him," "Olf., I went to see him so badly. Mr5.,1,1,, Is going to introduce him to use` I twish she would make haste—l have tio patience." , "Don't speak so Louise. Ido wish y_on would not be so trilling," said Pdariarn. A singular smile played around the mouth of a tall, handsome man, who was standing near thegiris; and as he passed them he scanned them very closely. . In a short, time Mrs. N. came up with Mr. Hamitton,,,the new mem ber, and presented him to Miss Gar diner :and Miss Hayes..
