Vert, carts, laden and groaning beneath a weight of food, cumo roll ing up to this great mart, crowding each avenue with ,fresh supplies—now all was life and eagerness. Stout men and bright faced women moved through the ,ver. dant chaos, arranging, working, chatting, and full of life and enterprise. while the rattling of c l ans outside, and the jirithr i al accumulation of sounds evervwhere, bespoke a groat city aroused like a giant iefresketi by slumber. Slowly there arose out of this chcurful confusion forms of homely beauty, that an artist or a thinking man might have loved to look upon.

Tho fruit anti vegetable stands wece now loaded with damp, green vegetables, each humble root having its own peculiar tint, and often arranged with a singular taste for color, unconsciously possessed by the woman who ex ercised her little skill in setting oil her stand to advan tage. -There was ono vegetable stand to which we would draw this reader's particular attentio i n, not exactly as a typo of the others.for there was somethinz, so unlike all the rest, both in this stand and its occupant, that it would have drawn the attention of any person, possessed of the slightest artiatical taste. itwas like the arrangement of a picture, that long table heaped with fruit, the freshest vegetables, and the brightest flowersJ ready for the day's traffic. The rich - scarlet radishes glowing up through their foliage of tender green:, young onions swelling out from their long emerald stalks, snowy and transparent almost as so many great pearls; turnips, sca'rcely larger than a hon's egg, and almost as white, just taken fresh and fragrant from the soil; tieing of l i tuee in a rich heap of crisp and greenish gold, piled against the deep black ish grtien of spinach and water-cresses, all moist with dew, or trot with bright water-drops that had supplied its place, and taking a deeper tint from the golden contrast.

And now the traffic of the day c4inenced in earnest. Servants, housekeepers and grocers swarmed into the market. The clink of money: the sound of sharp, eager banter; the dull noise of the butcher's cleaver were , heard on every hand. It was a cheferful scene, for ev ery face looked smiling and happy. The soft morning i air seemed to have brightened all things' into cheerful ness.

There was something in the • good dame's appearance that brought an eager and satisfied look to the child.' Sho•drew close to the stand, and stood for some seconds gazing timidly on the old woman. It was a pleasant face. and a - com fortable, portly form enough that the little girl gazed up on. Smooth and comely were the full and rennsled cheeks, with their rich autumn color dimpled like an over-ripe apple. Fat and good humored enough to defy wrinkles, the taco looked far too rosy for 'the thick, grey hair that was shaded, not cottcealed, by a cap ofsnow white !mishit,. with a broad, deep border, and tubs that met like a snowy girth to support the firm, double.chin. Never did your eyes dwell upon a chin, so full of health and good humor as that.

"What do you want. little girl; anything is my way?" was repeated to her onee'or twice as she moved forltard. At cacti of these challenges she would pause,.loolt ear nestly into the face of the speaker, and then pass on with a faint wave of the head, that expressed something of sad and timid disappointment. At. length the huckster ; Woman saw the child gazing upon her with a look so earnest that she was quite startled by it. She ah+o Caught a glance at the empty basket, and her little brown oyes . twinkled at the promise of a now customer. "Well, my dear, what do you want this morning?" she 'moothing her apron with a • pair of plump, little eating a well satisfied look over her slaitd, and tht.ll :La chi;(l, who grew pale at her notice, and began to tremble visibly--,"all sorts of vegotables, you kce —flowers—strawberries,—radishos—what will you have, child?" The little girl crept round to where the woman Mood, and speaking in a low, frightened voice, saisi— "Please ma'am, I want :ion to trust me!" "Trust you!" said the woman, with a soft laugh, that shriek her double chin, and dimpled her cheeks. "Why 1 don't know you, httlo ono—what on earth do you want trust for? Lost the market money, hey, and afraid of a scolding—is that it?" "No, no, 1 haven't lost my money," said the child. eagerly; "please ma'am just stoop down one minute, while 1 tell you!" The little girl iii her earnest way took hold of the wo man's apron, and she, kind souk sunk back to her stool: it was the moat comfortable way of listening. ”1-4 live with grandfather and grandmother; ma'rn; they aro old, and poor—you don't know how poor; , for be, grandpa, has been sick, and, it seemis strange, b t I 'eat as notch as any of them., Well, mein, 1 tried to get something to . do, but you see how little 1 am; nobody will think me strung enough even to tend babj . ; so - we kayo all been without anything to eat since day ;before yester day." : . "Poor thing!" muttered the inickiter woman, "poor thing!" inVin, I must do cnnothing. I can boar any thing lictter than seeinglhem hungry. Last night I did not sleep a wink all night, but kept thinking what I should do. I never begged in my life; they never did, and it made me feel sick to think of RI but I could have done It rather than see them sit and look at each other so piti ful another day. Did you over see an old man cry for hunger, ma'in?" ."No no God forbid!" answered the dame, brushing a plump hand across her eyes. "I have," said the child with a sob, "and it was this that made me think that begging, after all, was not so very mean. So, this morning, I asked the'm to let me go out; but grandpa said he might go himself, like were strong enough; but I never should—never—never!" "Nice old man—nice old man!" said the huckster wo- man. "1 did not ask again," realigned the child, "for an idea had come into my head in the night. I hnvo seen little gir's, no older thandl am, selling radishes and strawber- 1 ilea, and things." "Yes—yes, I understand!" said the old woman, and her eyes began to twinkle the more brightly that they were wet before. . 4 "But I had no strawberries to sell, not a cent of nmoy to buy them with!" "Weil! well!" 2 "Not even a basket!" "Poor thing!" "But I was determined to do something. So I went-to a grocery store where grandpa need to buy things when ho had money. and they trusted mo With this basket:" — ~ "That was very kind in them!" "Washit it verY kind!" said the child, her eyes bright ening,'"especially us I told them it Was all myself--that grandpa knew nothing about it. See what a nice now basket it is-:-you can't thick how much courage it gave me. When I came into the market it seemed as if I should'igt be afraid to ask any lady about trusting me a !ittle" "And yet you came clear to this side without stopping to ask any lady!" • ' "I was looking in their faces to see if It would do," answered thechild with meek simplicity, "but there was something in every face that sent - the words back into my throat again." "So you stopped here because it was almcist the • last /land." - "No, no. I did not think of that;' said thechild, eager ly. "I stopped because something seemed to tell me that this was the place. 1 thought if you would net trust me, you would at least be patient and listen." The old huckster wetna I laughed—a low; soft laugh --:and the little girl began to errata through her tears.— Inger° was something mellow and comfortable in that chuckle, that warmed he the heart; "So you wore sure that I Would trust .you—hey, quite use I" ..I thought if you wouldhat there was no chance for * tie anywhere else," replied the child, lifting her_ soft yes to the face of the matron.

These she arrang. ed in the orphan's basket, first sprinkling a layer of damp, fresh grass in the bottom. and interspersing the whole with young grape leaves, intended both as an embellish. ment, and to keep the fruit fresh and cool. When alt was arranged to her satisfaction, she laid a bouquet of white and crimson moss rose buds at each end of the basket, and interspersed little tufts of violets along• the side, till the crimson berries were wreathed in with flow. Ors. • "There." said the old woman, lifting up tht, basket with sigh of satisfaction, "between the fruit and flow ers you must make out, Sell the berrries for sixpence a basket, and the roses for all you can get. People who love flowers well enough to' buy them, never cavil about the price, just let them pay what they like." , The little girl took the basket on her arm; her pretty mouth grow tremulous and bright as the moss rose•bud that trembled against her hand, her eyes wore filled with tears. "Oh,.nuem, I want to thank you so much, only ! don't know how," she said,in a voice that went to the good old woman's heart. "Thtire, there!—hover mind—be punctual, that's a good girl. Now, my dear, what is your name?" "Julia—Julia Warren, mem!" "A pretty name 7 vory well—but stop, stop a ,moment, I had forgotten." The child sat her basket down upon the stool Which the huckster woman hastily vacated, and waited patieM ly while the good dame disappeared in some unknown region, of the market, eager to accomplish an object that had just preiented itself to her mind. "Here," she said, coming back with her-face all in a gldw, a small, tin pail in one hand, and her apron' gaih ored up in the other. 'Just leave the sttberrice, and run home with these.
