and touched him upon the arm,

deavored, to, arouse hint. The boy
looked up. There at his side was a
strange negro; .telling him that his .
young mist res . wanted him, and Point
ing towards the house. Mechanically
the child arose, hastened .tip the steps,
and soon stood, in the doorway. before,
" Come in, come in;" she exclaim - ca,

" Thank you*, As, but I Must go

enquired Jacob, caking an earnest
glance at the boy.
- .
Chi the . corner of Charles and
Smith streets," replied the little fellov
"Chat hare yon . been' doing ' all
day ?" asked Alice.
" I loft home early this morning,"
he replied in trembling tones, " to try
to get some work to do, so that I could
make a little money, and. then my
mother would have something to eat;
but," he continued, bursting into tears,
" I have not made a cent, and now she
must starve.. I was just thinking that
I would beg," he• exclaimed, passion
atel.l, hastily wiping his eyes. The
tears were now rolling down Alice's
face, which the little fellow observing,
took her baud affectionately in his, itud•
begged her not to cry.for him.
" No," said -Alice, " I won't cry. I
will do something better than that;
and you won't beg, will you ?" .•she
enquired, • the color deepening upon
her cheek; but. you will come and
aFk me for everything that i your mother
wants ?" ••
The boy.smiled, looked earnestly at
her, and seemed as if almost about to
say,." Yes." . .

gayly, has bought me a piee s , oig

last words,.she placed her hand in her
pocket, nnd drar.ing.out a gold 1,11ar„
gave it to the astonished child, saying,
" Take that,. and, buy your mother:
some supper,"
At.the sound of the word mother, he
started, threw himself on: his• knees
before Alice, and pressing- her little
hands to his. while- the tears
again streamed forth, exclaimed-,-'
