A California niiiiiiin town, away up an. id the snow-clad, rocky-hound peaks of the S;crra Nevada mountains. The town was irresrnlarly laid out, and was scattered along a creek " hioli emptied into tin- Consumiiics river several miles bo low. I'.oth. the dwellintrs and business hous es or more j.roperly sieakinp;. cabins were constructed of ui.hown jduc logs. 1 lie crevi ces between the timbers la ins; "chinked" and plastered with mud. The town contain ed at least a dozen saloons, or saloons and ganiblin'r houses combined, and in these hells much of the hard-earned money of the miner parted company with him, to take np its temnorarv abode iii the saloon til! or the loekct i the proles.ional painnier. J lie lwcllin.es of the town were scattered aioti; the creek or built on the fide f tlic nnuin tain, the majoiity of them bein; rouh "bachelor dens," for women were scarcu in tlie newly discovered diamine. In a siuall ce.bin in the nper end of the town sat a woman in widow's weeds, hold insr upon her knee a bright eyed, sunny-faced little Rirl about five years old, while a little cherub of a boy lay upon a bear skin before the open lire place. Jt was Christmas Eve, and the woman sat tuazinii abstractedly into the fire. She was yet yotinu, and as the glowing flames lit up her sad face they in vested 'it with weird beauty. Mary Stewart was the widow of Aleck Stewart, and but two years before had lived comfort ably and happy in a camp on the American l iver. Aieck was a 'Tawny miner, but the premature explosion of a bla-t in an uniiersiound tunnel had blotted out his life in an instant, leaving l is family without a protector, and in straitened circuintitances. His daily wages had been their sole support. and now that he had gone what could they (by With her little family Mr. Stewart had ! emigrated to the camp in which wo find ; em fall western minins towns arc called ! b')(i by washing clothes for the miners. 1 Hers was a hard lot, but she toiled on, cheer ' cd bv the thought that her daiiy labors stood between her darling little ones and the gaunt , wolf of starvation. " Theirclothcs were patch i cd. and shabby, and their food plain, and . sometimes scant, yctthey were never reduced i to absolute suffering. ! Ja''jf Ihuvson, a strons, honest miner, was ; passing the cat in this Christmas Eve, when i the voice of the little girl within attracted I his attention Jack posscs-ed an inordinate 1 love for children, and although his manly spirit would abhor the sneaking practice of eavesdropping, be could not resist the temp tation to steal up to the window just a mo ment to listen to the sweet, prattling voices, i 't he first words he caught were : "He fort; papa died we always had Christ mas, didn't we, mamma '."' 'W Tot f e !o-!me- lint l.-nvi e:v.i,! iiii y', "''' V'- " v. v " tiling: but papa money er.n; P"ts liappy :g!i to sifi-rd to mai.e b.is li'.'.'e '! least once a year. Yt.u luust Toitv, that we are verv pour, and reineniiie althoii'jh can scare fiiod and mamma works very, f ; j hard, she iv earn cmius.li to supply us with clothes." Eittle rigla te.ccd I'.eunv raised Ins curiv hend from its soft nest in the beer skin and cheerily said : "Des' wait tiii I uit to be a man, mamma, an' 'oo won't have to wort. I'se doio' to be a dreat bid miner 'ike pupa wsts, an" did 'ou ever so much money ; but I won't do near 'cm hateful biastin' tings an' (lit tilled 'ike papa did." (Jack Dawson still lingered upon the out side. He could not leave, although he felt ashamed of himseif for listening. ) 'Why, bless my little man, what a brave future he luis pianurd ' I do hope and pray, darling, that you wiil trrow up a .-trong and a goi man, and one who will be a bies-ing and a comfort to mamma when sdie -rets old.' "We hucg up our stockings l ist Christ mas, didn't we, maniuia ?" i'.iotioncd the little girl. "Yes, Totty, but we were poor then, and Satita Clans never notices real poor people. He gave yon a liltie candy then, just because you were ueh good children." "Is we any poorer now, mamma ?" " h, yes, iiioi-h poorer, lie would never notice us at all now." Jack Daw son.dctci ted a tremor of sadness in the widow's voice as he uttered the hisf woid, and lie wiped a .sie-pic.ious dampness from his eyes. "Where's our clean storkine-, mamma .' I'm going to hang mine up anyhow : mavbe he will come like he did before, just because we try to be good children," said Tetiy. "11 wiil be no use, nai l iutr. I am sure he wiil not come," ami tears gathered in the ruo'.her's eyes as she thought ol her empty purse. T don t caic 1 in going to trv am how. l lease get eip ,f niy lockings, mamma. pleaded the little gu I. "Your clean stockings are on tl.e line out side, and I cannot go out and hunt for them this bitter cold night. You may hang np your old ones: but. oh! darling, I fear you will In- so terribly disappointed in the morn ing. Please let it go till next Christmas, and then we may be richer." "No, mamma ; I am going to try anyhow," Jack Dawson's great generous heart swell ed until if seemed breaking from his bosom, lie heard the l atter of little bare feet on the cabin floor as Totty ran about hunting hers and Denny's stockings, and, alter she had hung tliem up, heard her sweet voice si gain as she wondered over and over if ."sauta Clans would really forget them. lie heard the mother, in a choking voice, tell her treas ures to g-t ready for bed; beard them lisp their chTldish prayers, the little girl conclud ing : "And, oh, Lord, please tell good Santa Clans that we are very poor, but that wo love him as rich children do, for dear Jesus's sake. Amen !" After they were in bed, through a small rent in the plain white curtain he saw the widow sitting before the (ire, her face buried in her hands and weening bitterly. On a peg, just over the fire place, bung two little pat lied nnd faded stockings, nnd then he could stand it no longer. He softly moved J away from the window to the rear of the , cabin, where, some Objects fluttering ill the wind met his eves. Atnonc these he search ed until he found a little blue stocking, which he removed from tlie line, folded tenderly and placed in his overcoat pocket, and then set out for the main street of the camp. He entered Harry Hawk's canVilir.g hell, the largest in the Place, where a host, nf ; ruineis and gamblers were at play. Jack ! was xveI' km'w" the camp, and when he I 2ot upon a c air and called for attention, the Hum or voices and the clicking of ivmv ' checks smMenlv ceased. Then, in an ean 1 est voice, lie to!,) what he had seen and j heard, repeating everv word of the eon versa- t'on between the mother and her children, j In conclusion lie said : i "Boys, 1 think I know you, every one of j you, and I know what kind o' metal yer : made of. I've an idee that Santa Clans j knows jnstwhar that cabin's sitiwated, an' j I've an idee he'll find it afore niornin'. Ily- ar's one of the little gal's stoekin's that. I ; hooked off'n the line where I heerd the wid , tier say she'd hung 'em with the washin'. ; The daddy of them little tins was a good, i hard-working miner, and he crossed" the' i range in the line o" dnty, just as any of us . is liable to do in our dangerous business. ; Hyar goes a twenty-dollar piece right down in the toe, nnd hyar I lay the stockin' on this card table now chip 'in, much, or little, : as ye kin afford." "Hoid them checks of mine on the ace i jack," said Hrocky Clark, a gambler, and, i leaving tlie faro table, he picked tiie little i stocking up carefully, looked jt it tenderly, ; and when he laid it down another twenty I hud gone into the t,e, to keep company w ith the one placed there by Dawson. Another ami anotiier came up, until the j foot of the stocking was well filled, and then i came the cry from the gambling tables : I "Pass her mound. Jack." j At the word be lifted it from the table nnd ! started around the hall. He fore he bad cir j dilated it at half a doztin tables it showed signs of bursting beneath the weight of gold j and silver coins, and a strong coin bag, such j as is used for sending treasure bv express. was procured, and the stocking placed inside of it. The round of the. large bull was made : and in the meantime the story had spread all over the camp. From vaiious sr.loons came messengers, saying : "Send the fctocVing around the camp : the boys are a-waitiu' f.c il." With a party at his heels Jack went from saloon to saloon. (James ceased, and tip plers left the bars as they.entered each place, and miners, gamblers, speculators, every body, crowded up to tender their Christinas gift to the miner's widow and oiphans. Any one wlio lias lived in the lar-western camps ; and is acquainted with the generosity of the j western men, will feel no surprise or doubt , my truthfulness when I say that after the round bad been made the little blue stocking and tlie heavy canvas liner contained over eight thousand dollars in gold and silver coin. ; Horses were procured and a party des- , patched to a large town down on the Con- , summes, from which they returned near day- break with toys, clothing, provisions, etc., ! In almost endless variety. Arranging their , oifts in tlie proper shape, ami securely tying ! the mouth of th bag of coin, the party noise- j lessly repaired to tbe widow's humble cabin. , The bag was fir.-t laid on the step, and the i other articles piled up in a heap over it. n the1 top was laid the lid of a pasteboard box, on which was wiitten with a piece of char- j coal : "Santa Clans doesn't always (.ive poor ; fokesThe shake in this camp." i ; Christinas morning dawned bright and beautiful. The night hart been a stinging ' cold one, and when the rising sun peeped over the chain of mountains to the east, and shot its beams upon the western range, the sparkling frot j!nbed from the snow-clad peaks as though their towering heads were i sprinkled with pure diamonds." Mrs. "Stewart arose, and a shade of pain crossed her handsome face, as the empty lit tle stockings caught her maternal eye. "She cast a hurried elanee towards the bed where her darlings lay sleepipg. and whispered : ! "(b, (bid : bow dreadful is poverty !" j She built a glowing fire, and set about pre paring the frugal breakfast. When it was ! almost ready she approached the bed, kissed j the bttle oii'es until they were wide awake. I ana then lilted them to the floor. With eager haste Totty ran to th stockings, only ! to turn away, sobbing i;s though her heai't 1 would break. Tears blinded the mother's eyes, and clasping her little girl to he heart, ' she said, in a choking voice : ; "Never mind, my darling : next Christ mas I am sure mamma Ttill be richer, and ' then Santa Clans will bring us lots of nice things." j "( Hi ! mamma !" ! The exclamation came from little 1'ei.ny, who had opened the door and was standing in amazement looking upon the gifts there displayed. Mrs. Mewart sprang to bi .iie with speechless astonishment. She read the card and then, causing her little ones to kneel down with, her in the open doorway, she poured out her soul in a torrent of praise and thanksgiving to Ind. Jack Dawson. burly form moved from be hind n tree a siu. rt di.-tar.c away, and sneak ed d'f np the go.-;i, great crystal tears chas ing each other t'own I. is face. Th family arose from their kn.ies and be gan to move the stores into the'ea ii". There v.eie several sack of flour, bams, canned fl ints, pounds and pounds i f coffee, tea and sugar, new dress goods, and a hanboine warm woolen shawl f ir the tvitfotr: shoes, stockings, bat-;, mittens and clothing for tiie children: a big v, ax doll that would cry an-.l move its eyes, tm Totty, and a beautiful red sled for Denny. All were carried inside, amid alternate laughs and cries. "Jiring in the sack of salt, To'ty, and that is all." said the mother. "Is not God good tons?" ''I cant't lift it, mamma ; it's froze to the ; step." The mother stopped and took hold of It ami lifted harder and harder, until she raised il lioin the step. Her cheek Handled as she noted its great weight, and she carried it in ami laid it on the table. AVith trembling fin gers she lon-cil the s'ling and emptied the contents upon the table, (.oh! and silver more than she had ever thought of in her wildest dreams of comfort, and almost bur ied in t'.ie pile of treasure lay Totly's little blue stocking. We will not intrude longer on such happi ness, but leave the joyous family sounding tln ir praise t" heaven and San a C'laus. The whole story soon reached Mrs.Stewart's enrs. S!,e knew Jack Dawson by sight, and when she next met him, although the honest fellow trie.! bard to pu-h by her. she caught hold of his coit nnd compelled him to stand and !i-tn to her tearful thanks. The t-ars shed were not ail hers, for when Jack moved nway there were dio.is .; liijuid crystal hang ing to his laddy ch"eks. I'our.months from that "Merry Chi istmas" Mrs. Stewait became Mrs. Jack Dawson, and every evening, when the hardy miner ret ernes lrom his daily labor to bis comfort able and happy home,' Totty and Denny will climb upon bis strong knees, and almost smother bitn with kisses, while they lovingly address him as "Our Santa Clans" papa. " WH'Urriixport JiroilfttKt TvM'.. A W OXDF.RFrii ESCAPE. Eversince Lake Erie has been navigated by civilized people, especially for the last cen tury, has she swallowed up large numliers of human beiiiL'S by shipwreck, by fire, or by other casualties, and while many bodies are recovered there are hundreds that are never found, ami many that float ashore that are never identified.' Captain (iilman Appleby, of Conneaut, Ohio, was captain ai d part owner of the schooner New Connecticut. An aunt of his, then residing in Hlack Iioek, below Buffalo, went to Conneaut to visit her brother there. After remaining for some time, she became exceedingly anxioms to get home. Captain Appleby endeavored to dissuade bis aunt fiom takiiia the home journey until he should lie going out with bis vessel, when he would take her home. His efforts in that direction, however, were unavailinr, aad he had to take her on board the schooner to go to HurTalo in charare of the crew. Everything passed off quietly until a sud den srjnall stiuck and rolled her upon her side, when she nearly tilled with water, but continued to float. The crew loosened the vessel's yawl, jumped in and pulled for the shore, leaving the woman in the cabin, as they supposed drowned. The party landed ami made their way as best they could back to Conneaut. Three days after tbe accident Captain Wiikins, of the steamboat William Peacock, in coming down from Detroit was bosonebt by Captain Appleby to board the wreck if saw it, and if possible to get the body of his aunt out of the cabin and convey it to Buf falo. Captain Wiikins discovered the disa bled vessel drifting down the lake, and, after coming alongside, the first mate of the 1'eahody boarded the wreck and made search. The schooner lay upon her side, and, to all appearances was full of water. A Pole was employed, and it was supposed every part of the'eabin was touched, and the com Insion was reached that the remains had floated out of the cabin into the lake; hence, father search was given up. Two days afterward Captain Appleby came down with a vessel and facilities to right the schooner and tow her into .the near est port, the drowned woman's son being along to assist in the recovery of the body. The vessel was finally righted, and when the cabin door had nearly reached a. level position, the woman walked through the water and came np stairs on deck. She was caught by Captain Appleby and supported, while her son wept and the sail ors screamed. Five days and nights she had ljen in the water, while a portion of her time she was up to her armpits. She could not lie down, and what sieep she got was in that position, and all the food she had was a solitary cracker and a raw onion, which floated on the water. She stated that aftei the vessel capsized and was abandoned by the crew, she found herself alone in water waist deep. The cabin door was open, but the flood was two f.et above it, and tbe sea made constant changes in her position. When Captain Wiikins stopped, she could hear the Ixiard ing .party talk and walk on the vessel, and although she used her voice to its utmost to attract attention, she could not make them hear. She saw the pole thrust into the cabin door by Captain Ment.m, and asked if she. should bold on to it and be pulled out. but no answer came. The Captain heard no other noise than the splashing of the water, and had not the remotest idea th.it the wo man w.t-5 tbcittf dead or alive. SNOAV 1501 NO. A STOP.Y TOT.T) r.T A SII.VKR DOM. Alt. 'Twas in the wilds of T'Ister countv, dur ing the winter of lsro, that I found myself in the possession of a ba' kwoods'familv." I was dangiing from tiie neck of a little gfil of sev en, and as the child moved about the cabin. I could see. that she possessed the riper judg ment of a mature age. The apartment was neat and clean, and in ordinary weather it might be called comfort able, but as the wind blew outside, the music of the great forests reverberated through the air and Fwept madly around the bunding, sending fotth its bass and tenor notes, which gave melody such as can only be heard among the great sighing pines of tlie primitive for ests. "When will this storm stop?" said little Nellie to herself. "The wood in the box is nearly burned up and poor si k tcipa and mamma will be cold, while little Fred can only keep warm now by getting in bed with them. The snow is piling up about the house, and my feet are cold as ice," and the child shivered" as if her little teeth were a pair of castinets. The little girl was acting as nurse and only attendant for her sick parents, who were prostrated on a bed so ill that neither could rise. The fire in their only stove burned slowly when little Nellie gathered up a fagot of sticks and dropped them in, when the glare that came forth from the cracks of the old stove lighted up the cabin, flew from wall to ceiling and died "away like sunbeams, as the orb of day disappears over the western horizon. The mother called Nellie to her bedside anl feebly asked : "Nellie, darling, are you cold? Fiit on your shawl, my pet, amfsit down by the fire, and warm your little feet, for if my precious nurse should get sick, what would "become of us?" Then tlie sweet child's voice replied : "Oh, no, mamma, I'm all right. If you and papa and little Freddie can only keen warm, 1 can stir about and keep warm my self," and she kissed her poor sick mother and left the bed-ide. As she moved away I could feel the shiver that convulsed her little frame as she went toward the woodbox, and as her little hands dove into the great big re ceptacle where the Iocs were u-tia!Iv kept. she pulled forth only a few sticks, and I could here her whisper : "Yes, that's all, that's all," and then so as not to alarm her sick mot her, she hummed a simple tune. After she bad filled the stove she went into the adjoining room, puiled the door and shut it after her, and then fell upon her knees and prayed.: "Oh. good t.od, don't let us fieee ! Send Us something to keep us warm ! I'oor main man and papa and Freddie wiil die, while little Nellie is getting so cold that s?ie can hardly t.ike care of them. Dear God, you said that you would listen to even a little girl like me, and now a little girl wants you to keep jour promise ;md send us help, "for the great piles of snow outside have shut us in from everybody. Help us, God I" nnd as she rose from her knees, she was cold and uncomfortable, but she returned to the room where her sick ones were and found that the stove w is growing colder, while the air in the room was so full of chill that her breath came from her lips in great puffs of steam, and as her little lingers touched nic, 1 was really chilled by the contact. She poked the embers with the Jongs r.nd held her lingers close down to them, and '.hen her little blue eyes looked over towards the bod, while a sigh escaped her, but not for berseif. but for her loved ones, who seemed to h r the only sufferers by the cold. "Oh, what shall I Jo? l'v)r mamma, papi ami Fred ! I asked God to take care of them. Thev will die if I cannot get some wood. What, what shall 1 do? Oil. if 1 could only spend this dollar I have, what a lot of wood it would buy. Hut I cannot use it, for the deep snow that sends such great piles about ' us, would cover pour little me all up in a i minute. I feel like crving. but no. 1 must be ; a woman, for papa and mamma are sick and Nellie must not shed tears now." ; Just then a gust of wind struck the litlle cabin door, and blew it open, when Nellie jumped quickly to shut it again. As she did so, she csp'ed her little play corner. There were her playthings, a child's world. Aniin ature set of wooden furniture, a baby's doli cradle, a table upon which were wooden ' dishes, a little wash tub and wash-board, and a child's chair near them, all showed the treasures of tlie little queen. The family were not of that clasa whom poverty claimed as its own, but were well to do people usuai'y, yet the sudden sickness of both man and wife, as well as the time of tiie terrible storm, which had lasted several days, found a house illy provided against a , long siege of the elements. i Hence, the distance from other habitations and the cruel storm that raged, found the . household in tlie condition described, j Hut that little brave hearted girl was A i strong prop. Bravely she worked and wateh ; ed, and when the little tired head lay down ! upon its pillow nt night, she did not, likeoth . ct children, fall into that deep slumber that ! overtakes the sweet life of innocence, on its journey through dreamland, but she slept with "i ne eye open." ; Thus had she passed through three days of ! the terrible.siege, without a complaint, with i out a mean at her own suffering, but when I her little heart had become overcharged with ; sorrow, she had crept in silence, to another room many times, and falling upon her little cold knees, placed her little hands together i and sent up a praver to Almighty God for I help. But the last stick cf wood had been placed upon the embers, and the cold and cruel elements that went howling outside re minded her that her charge was suffering. She scarce knew what to do. But as I said, she quickly closed the door, and with a broom swept up the white parti- , eles that seemed so pure, yet the icy dullness 1 of such purity was cruel and heartless. As liltie Nellie finished she saw her play things, her treasures, her little world, aye! her heaven. Her doll sat in its chair un mindful of the cold, while tl.e neatly arrang- : ed doll house was evidence that its owner was a lady even if she did occupy a back- ; woods cabin. "Yes," said Nellie, ,;it must be done" and she gathered no a little bedstead, a miniature bureau, a washtub and the contents of the tub. nnd walked with them quickly to the 1 back room. Then she returned, nnd a little : table with its wooden dishes were removed also. Then another trip and she returned '. with a little doll's chair and several other ar ticles, until all of the- little stock of the tin- ' selfish child was in the back room. Then she wrapt her shawl close about her shivering form, and entering the room, closed the door behind her. j Ah. what a scnc that followed. Poor lit- 1 tie girl ! she took np each dainty plaything, and amid a shower of falling tears, she kiss ed it and hugged it to her little panting heart. " "Oh, my poor little bureau. Nellie will i never have you anymore yes yes, you i must go to sa've my poor sick ones. Ami j you, oh, my beautiful little table nnd yon, my sweet little dolly's chair, and that little : washstand! Oh, must I part with jouall? j Why don't God hear my prayers there, j mamma calls. Oh, nhe'll see mj- tears I i Yes, mamma in a minute " ami quickly wiping away her tears, she was soon beside her sick mother. I "Nellie, darling, I'm so cold. Your nana. ! I fear, will not live long unless you can have a fire. And j'oti, too, my precious little girl -you cannot long survive us. God have j mercy upon this suffering household, and j the jioor mother burst into tears. 1 The father was too iii to even talk, and Nellie, who was wrapped in a shawl &nd blanket, saw that unless she soon obtained fuel the parents would suffer greatly, while she also might peiish. She got upon a chair and tried to peer over a snow drifts that blocked tbe highways. Hut not 'a person could she see ; not a soul was near, ex cept the forms that lay helpless upon the bed. Then she jumied down and ran quick ly to the backroom where her precious wealth of toys were taken. She moaned, and a li'tle flood of fresh tears came through the eyelashes, but she did not j falter, for as denras her little stock of toys I wert to her, dearer still were the loved ones I that needed warmth. She seized tbe hatchet, I and as she raised the instrument to strike, 1 she felt n.s Abraham did. when he raisctl his 1 knitc to tc!i!i.;e his first born: la.ic. Hut no voice was uttered to stay her band. no substitute was placed within 'reach, and ' when it returned ius sharp edge went crash- 1 ing throng!) a liltie bureau. It rose again and when it fell, a liltletable ; was cpijt through and through. The hunt blows were accompanied by sobs and sighs and little Nellie felt as if slie was indeed giv.tig up her very heait's blooo, but i when she wmiid stop to utter regrets, her mind would wander to the sick ones, and the work of demolition would begin again. In a few moments tbe floor was strewn w ith brok en wood, tiie joys of a little life crashed and misshapen, everv splinter entering deeper into the little heart of a noble child. Ouite a pile was secured, and little Nellie gathered up an armful and forcing back her tears, she smoothed her wee, wan face and entered the apartment where her dear S'ck were. She opened the stove and filled it up with the same. Then she looked at the sick and she tho't her parents were nearly perished, as neither cne spoke. I.ittiu Freddie looked up so pitiful and said : "Nellie, I'se s,, told. 'Taut oo uit Fred warn) ?" In moment Nellie started a f re. The dry lumber was l:ke tinder and in a short time the old stove ciacked and shook with the flames, which were stiiving to rush up the stovepipe. The little gill kept putting in the wood and soon the room began to change, and the clouds of steam, that l ad come from the mouths of each one, tb.cn ceased and litt'e j : Nellie herself began to clow with heat. It ; was a grand sight, but ii the saciillce ot tots had -,i ed tbe sick ( lie's !iv s the excitement that btt'.c Nellie had pa-se.l through, and the i exhaustion was fa-f tolling upon l.er. i .itchii'g and going without food sufficient to satisfy the recti, ol the body added to tl.e I cold, and the thiol lo- 'r.'-.i as it she w.us .suf fering severely. '1 be mother began to l':;-e i from the stupor, whi'e the lather, who had been so ill that l.e e uld scarcely speak, also ! looked no and qua '.Ted in tic: warm air, while little Fie., ere t out f ! cd :n d walked to the stove to see if the be it was a reality. Yes. the toys bad saved tl.e household, but . Nei.ie seemed to be faint "ng. She reeled and tried to catch hold of the chair, and in a i moment she fell to the floor.

AN Al'MENCK OF OXK. Enimett, the ador. tells the fo!1owi:;gstory of how he once played to an audience of one in a theater at Columbus, ot.io: After two or thief eifoinianees the post ers announced a matinee. I went to the theater at - o'clock that afternoon and found my company skylarking behind the curtain, in their everyday suits. 1 looked out in the auditorium. " There was just one man in tiie theater. He sat clear back in the j arqtu-t. It was as much as 1 could do to outline him in the darkness. I went out to the box office. "Did that man pay for his ti.-ket ?" I asked. I "Yes, tu'ty cents,'" the treasurer replied. "Tiie manager told me to return him his money and close the theater." "No, you i won't," 1 said. 'T have never disappointed ' an Mi 'It-lire v.lien I'm sober, and I don't propose to do so no . v. We'll play f;l'l:'ai." ! I went into the parquet, introduced myself 1 to the man, and thanked him for b.i-t attend ance. 1 told him that as be had thought , enough of me to cornO and see me and pay fifty cents for tlie piivelege, lie .should have as good a performance e.s' though the house was packed. I then went I choid the cm tain and requested the company to dress. "Great Cicsar, Joe," one of tiiem"s:ild. "you nin't a going to play to that one man, "are you?"' "Yes, I ani." I repli-d. "He's paid bis money, ami he shall have his money's worth." i "Oh. the dettee," broke in another member of the company, "I'll l ay bis fifty cents nnd you let him go"." I t.-ld" them that the per formance must go on as usual, and I warned , each one that any attempt to guy the audi ence or any failure to play a part in 1 nil I would be the sig::;U foi a di-, -barge. Well, the orchestra play ed an overture and ; the curtain arose. I walked down to the j footlights. I invited the audience to come . forward and take a front s,at, where he could see and be seen. He thanked me and settled himseif in the front row. I suggest ed that a little generous applause thiown in where he thought the actors deserved it would serve to inspirit them and warm them i to their woik. He seemed to appreciate the sit nation".". r.,1 agreed t ogive us all the encour agement that he thought we deserved. The performance began. I don't think I ever i played better. I threw myself heart and sonl into the charade! , and sang the "Lulla- ' ; by" so tenderly that the entire audience was i in tears. He called for an encore. I told him that we rarely gave an encore, but as , this was an extraordinary occasion he should i ; have one. He applauded liberally at times ! where no ai plans was deserved, and again failed to applaud where applause was de- ' j served. At such times I called bis attention , j to the omission, and asked whether on rc- ' flection he did not think, he had made a mis- i take. A hint was suf:'n i-iit. He would clap ' his bands as though perfectly enchanted and , shout, "Bravo !" like an Italian over Salvini. 1 The company paid no attention to liim, but i went on w ith the performance as regular as I clock-work. Between the acts, however, ( one or two of them evinced a disposition to I go out into the auditorium and mingle with i the audience. 1 set :ny face against it ami j they refrained. At the close c.f the second act the manager entered the theater. He t had been out for a walk. He seemed dumb- j founded at seeing the bouse brilliantly light- j ed, and the orchestra playing soberly to one j man. But he was more astonished when the ; curtain arose ami the performance was re- 1 sumed with as much unconcern as though 1 there were 11 thousand dollars in the bouse. j nt lle ,ia(, R'n t.VP t in..siess. He sent word to the newspaper reporters, and half a j dozen of them arrived in time for the last act. I No actor ever received better newspiuer criticisms. Some of them were over a col umn long. It turned out that the audience was owner of a copper mine in Michigan, and very wealthy. On the following night he gave the whole company a banquet at the ig hotel. He outeitamed ns as b.ind- leading somelv as we had entertained him, and we j parted with mutual regrets. Just a year af terward I announced another matinee at Columbus. It was well advertised, and the house was oaclcei 1 to suffocation. I took in over ft, '-ott.

The remark able case of F.lir.abelh Woodcock, who was buried under the snow, is especially striking. In the winter of lT'.n she was returning on horseback from Cambridge, England, to her home in a neighboring village, rind having dismounted foi a few minntes the horse ran away from her. At seven o'clock on a win ter evening she sat down under a thicket, cold, tired and disheartened. Snow came on : she was too weak to rise, and the conse quence was that by the morning the snow bad heaped around her to a heighi of two feet above her head as she set." She had strength enough to thrust a twig, with her handkerchief at the top of it. through the snow, to serve ns a signal, and to admit a lit tle daylight. Torpor supervened : and she knew little more of what passed around b r. Night succeeded day. and day again broke, but there she remained uioii uiless and food less. Not senseless, however, for she could bear church bells and Til late souuds nay, even the voices nnd conversation of some of her neighbor. Four whole days she thus re mained, one single pinch of snuff being her only substitute for food during this time, and this even she found bad lost its puu gency. On the fifth day a thaw commenced and then she suffered greatly, but stiil with out being able to extricate botseif. It was not until the eighth day that the ban 'kerchief was espied oy a neighbor, who, with many otWers, had long been scuii-hing, for her.

She died about" half a year afterward, through mismanagement of frost-bitten toes ; but it was fully admitted that no one unless cased ln snow, could have lived out those eight days and nights in such a place with out food. Thf. nervous mother of a bright little boy was alarmed lest be should take ttie whoop ing couch, which prevailed in the neighbor hood Sh talked so much alxuit it and wor ried over it that she had infected the child witli tier fears to such an extent that be would scarcely leave her side.
