SELECT STORY.
MILLY'S OOMFORTER.
A COSIMONPI.ACr. STOltY.
It was woven of fleecy, crinkly
zephyr, nml was red, bat that viviil
scarlet wo sonielimcs nee intlio ilnsh of
a bird's wing or tho glow of n biilliant
Biinset. lluskin Bays this is the color
of life, and though Milly had not heard
this, sho felt it every timo bIio wound
tho gay thing about her slender throat
and tossed its ta99eled cnus.coqiictishly
over her shoulder.
Ono short, raw, wintry afternoon
Milly was hastening homo from school,
well wraped in its toils, when her
brisk pace was arrested by a heavy
sob, and, looking around, shu nan a
sight rather raro on thoso quiet, aristo-
'jratio Blrootc a lit.tlo boy, tlnnly and
raggedly clothed, sitting on Iho curb
ing, his head bunt forlornly on a pilo
of papers in his lap, which he was evi
dently making damper than usual with
his tears. Milly looked at him pitifully,
walked on a paco or two, hesitated,
glanced back and then stepped reso
lutely toward him and lapped his
shoulder.
"What's tho matter V1 sho asked,
quietly ; "aro you sick or hurt ?"
Ho raised his head and turned upon
her a surprised, woebegono face, which,
however, in spito of tears and dirty
streaks, was far from unattractive.
"I can't sell my papers," ho
sobbed, brokenly.
"Of courso not, up here,'' said Milly,
in brisk, busincss-liko tones. You
don't seo anybody on theso streets but
women and children, and they don't
want papers. You ought to go down
town whero tho stores aro ; then, if
you'll wait until G o'clock tho gentle
men will bo going homo to dinner, and
they'll tako them fast enough."
"I5ut they bustle mo about so, and
I'm awful cold and hungry," he moan
ed. "Poor child !'' Milly's tones softened.
'I expect they do, but you must hiiBtlo
back, and stand your own ground.
Guess you never sold papers before,
did you t"
"No'm,', ho rettirucd, gazing at her
as though sho was an oracle ; "I never
had to before. Tom takes caro of me.
He's my big brother and a sailor.
Wo'vo got a nice littlo room that ho
pays the rent, and when ho goes off on
long v'iges, I eat with tho Jenkinses
across tho entry. Ho pays theo, too.
Tom's awful good, but ho como home
sick this time, and tho money's most
gone. I thought I could get somo
moro selling papers j but I havo spent
all Tom's fifty cents aud I haven't
mado a thing 1"
Ho sighed dolefully again, while the
sudden memory of a dimo saved for
taffv in tho corner of her handkerchief
mado Milly's face radiant as she drop
ped it into his dirty paw.
"No,no," she laughed, as ho handed
out a paper ; "I don't want any
wouldn t read it for a dollar ; and papa
buys his down town if you could find
him now 1 IIo takes tho brown cars
near tho common, a big man with a
fur overcoat, and moustache, and a
sealskin cap, and eyes that twinkle ;
and liko as not he'll throw you a quar
ter, and say : 'Never mind the change!'
It's just liko him and here, this'll
keep you warm."
With a quick movement tho red
comforter was transferred from Milly's
ut ck to his, and boforo ho could speak
she had nodded a gay good-by and
disappeared around the corner.
IIo looked after her a long minute,
then down at tho soft scarlet wrap, and

his chin in its ileecy folds with a "deli

Two hours later a superb-looking
gentleman, striding rapidly toward his

pf tho box of French bon-bons in his
pocket ready for Milly's searching

and such a pleading '-Oh, please, sir,

voluntarily stopped.
It was a littlo fellow who held them
cagorly forward with a smiling, tear
streaked face, and a vivid bit of scarlet
about his throat that made tho owner
think of Milly, bo ho said, in his own
brisk way :
"All right! Got a Transcript?
That's it! Here never mind tho
chango ; there's my car ; and with a
rush forward ho had swung himself
lightly aboard, leaving a silver quarter
in tho boy's baud, exactly, as Milly had
prophesied.
"I knowed it 1" muttored the child,
gazing after him with shining eyes ; "I
knowed 'twas her pa 1" But an im
patient "paper boy" brought him to
his senses, and in a short time, with
arms empty, but heart and pocket full,
ho rushed for his brother, cold and
hunger alike forgotten.
"I dono it, Tom ! I sold ovory one.
Hero's tho money," and quito a shower
of coppers aud nickles, to say nothing
of the silver dimo and quarter, rattled
out upon tho bed.
Tom's wan faco brightened at tho
sight.
"Why you littlo clipper,"' ho cried,
gayly, "who'd a thought it 1 Come,
reel off your yarn, quick, and lets havo

'Well, 'twas all tho littlo lady's
doin's, you see," began Jimmy, and
told Uio story you already know, dis
playing tho red comfoiter as triumph
antly as a couqtierer displays his tro
phies. At that very moment Milly sat
munching a bonbon upon tho arm of
her.father's easy chair before tho grato,
while- ho, lyinir back luxuriously in
dressing gown nnd slippers, with tho
Transcript across his knees, looking
teasingiy into ncr inco.

until sho had perched upon tho other
a.'in, whilo tho happy man enfolded
them both In what ho merrily called a
"trinlo hug."
Weeks slipped by, whilo Jimmy con
tinuing to Bell papers, with varying
but over increasing success, and Tom
rapidly regained health and Blrength,
to finally ship again as deck hand on
board a great vessel which was to
carry grain to Southern France, and
return (God willing) loaded with tho
lioh winca and iho luscious fruits of
that favored country.
"You can earn enough money to
pay tho rent,'1 said his brother, as they
talked it all over, "and Mother Jenkins
says you shall sharo her bito and sup
so long as they last, and I'll pay when
wo drop atichor in tho bay again.
There, there, boy, keep up a good
heart ; it won't bo long, you know.''
Hut Jimmy pried all night j it was
so lonesome with Tom gone. Then a
bright thought checked the tears and
he slept peacefully. Next morning
ho thought returned, and, acting up
on it, lie crept out of bed, took tho
precious red comforter from his littlo
Blielf, and folding it witli a lovimr
touch, laid it in Tom's sea chest which,
packed, but not yet corded, stood by
tho bed.
"It's all 1'vo cot to civo him,"
thought Jimmy, sadly, "and it'll keep
him warm when bo stands watch these
cold nights."
So, unknown to Tom, tho long, red
length of comfort went with him, to
help tho battlo against cold and storm,
whilo Jimmy was left to fight tho
worm and siormior iato at home.
Another crcat vessel, very different
from the clumsy concern Tom sailed
in, loft tho bay a week later a steam
ship with Hying pennons, decks gay
with people, and enough shiny wood
gildings and mirrors to havo furnished
a dozen houses ; an ocean passenger
steamer bound for liavre, freighted
with a thousand souls, and tho ten
thousand things necessary to their com
fort. Upon its decks stoood Mr. and
Mrs. Wentworth and Milly. Thoy
were going to Franco for tho lady's
health, while Milly was to havo an out

About threo days out tho weather
becamo very unpleasant; rain and chill

and storm to delay their course, but
tho luxurious ship a world in itself
laughed at old ocean's moods, and
plowed Bteadily onward, quito undaunt

draught vessels, often overloaded and
ill managed, and dependent upon wind
and tido for their spceM and safety.
But Milly never thought of theso, as,

seasickness, bIio roamed the great
steamer fore and aft, making friends

scratch their heads in perplexity.
They were about a week out and far
from eilhci- shore ; tho foe had lifted.
aud a brilliant morning sun lighted the
broad, comparatively smooth expanse
of sea. The Cptain, glass in hand,
was slowly scanning tho horizon, and
Milly, close by, with no lens but thoso
of her keen young eyes, scanned it
with equal dignity and care. About
southwest his glass came to a sudden
standstill, then ho took it from his
eyes and was eagorly rubbing his
lenses, when tho watch suddenly sang
out, "Sail ho !"
"Whero away ?" ciied tho Captain,
readjusting his glass.
"Io leeward, 'came tho prompt re

"Yes, it's an open "boat, evidently a

The excitement increased, for every
incident becomes an event in the
monotony of sea life, and especially
everything that speaks of danger aud

Corner Loafing.
Speaking of corner loafers tho first
week of court Judge Elwell said to tho
grand jury :
'We understand that in certain pails
of tho country persons habitually con

drug stores, hotels and saloon, putting
podeetrians to inconvenience, interrupt
ing puLlio travel, almost pi eventing
ladies from passing that this occurs
particularly on Sunday.
"People havo a right to pas over
the highway, but not to slam! and loaf
upon it, collecting in numbers ; ami tho
owner of tho oil has tho right to dis
perse such gatherings. Tho landlord
as well as tho private Individual has
this right to stop tho obstruction of tho
highway in front of his premises ; and
if a landlord or any other person who
come to this court for a license does
not exeiciso this right his neglect will
operate against hi-t application. IIo
asks a special privilege j ho must nut
interfere nor suffer others, where it is
in his power to hinder, to inteifcro
with tho lights of the public.
"It is in somo of tho published re
marks of this Court that if keepers of
saloons and hotels allow persons to
asscmblo about their buildings at. im
proper times and especially on Sunday
wo would consider the fact as prima
facie evidenco of a violation of somo
provision of tho liquor laws ; and wo
say now, that if tho holder of a licenso
tloes not prevent such assemblages be
fore his place of business, that fact
may riso up iu judgment against him
when ho applies for a renewal of his
privileges."

Resolutions of tho Zion Stinday School on
the death of Joseph F. Oeis'ingor.
Wnr.itr.AS it became our sad duty
on tho 30 tilt to pay a mournful aud
sorrowing tribute, by attending tho
funeral of our honored and worthy
brother, Joseph F. Geisinger ; who
died the 28ult. after a lingering illness
of heart disease, in the 25th year ot
his age. To his memory wo would
willingly eulogize of his conislonf. nnd
upright life, but wo feel tho life ho has
lived express in impressivo language
his worth in terms moro eloquent than
pen can describe. In the death of
liro. (ieiMfger the family havo lost a
loving and dutiful son and brother;
the church and choir a member that
was always found attending to his du
ties; and may his life bo an example
for all. IIo will bo satlly mised, but
remembering all things are ordered by
God we know our loss is his gain, and
io him Iho gate of death an entrance
to eternal rest.
Jlcsolved, That wo extend to tho
bereft family our sincere and most
heartfelt sympathy, may they feel tho
blessed assurance, it is all well witli
him.
