"Ma-a-tclies !". "There's that eternal match-girl again," said good, little, bustling Mrs. Jellison, as she glanced up from the b7eakfast-table, where sin; was busily engaged in counting and pol ishing up her sillier, to the baSement-window, where a child's nose had flattened itself against the window-pane on the outside, and a pair of black, hungry eyes were peering wistfully in to the room. "Come in," beckoned Mrs. Jellison, unable to resist the little purple cheeks and asking eyes of the child. ••I don't, want any matches," muttered the little woman to herself, as the child was en tering the basement door and pattering through the entry. "I have a cord of them on hand already. The little persevering wretches will never let me off without I buy from them. Well, we'll see. So, iletty, you're hack again to-day. Do you think I use matches for oven wood ?" "Please, m a'am, no." "Where's your shoes, Iletty, that I gave you the other day ?" "Grandmanuny sold them." "Sold them Why they were not worth selling. What did she sell theM for ?" "Fur motley to get our supper. She always sells everything. give' roe a heap of h aw i s „,_A LTN l frock , : , a nd shoes ,end__ grandmammy always sells them." Mrs. Jellison looked down at the little.naked. bleeding feet, that were sVack with dirt and cut frith the cold that s e could not have judged what the original color might have been. "Well, it's'a sin and a shame for your grand mother to do so. Sit down and take a cup of tea, and I will go and see if Miss Julia hasn't a pair of old shoes that'll tit you." The little, bustling housekeeper placed be fore the child--a cup of tea, and sonic buttered toast and remnants of beef-steak, and left her to her repast. She soon returned with shoes and stockings in her hands, and pouring some warm water in a basin, she earelully applied castile soap to the little charped feet, and washing and rinsing and wiping them, she put on the stockings and shoes. "There : they tit you as though they were made for you. Mis.S' Julia has done with them and you can have them. how, if your grand mother takes these away from you. tell her that I will complain of her at the City Bless my life, Iletty !" continued the little house-keeper, peering into the child's empty tea-cop. "But you are born to great things. ion will yet ride in your own carriage, and rear silk stockings and satin shoes--gold ones if you choose, instead of going bare-foot:?'

And, with the fury of a tigress, the old woman stripped the child of all but her Miserable rags, and was off to sell them and "get the supper." Iletty crept up to the sickly fire in . the cra zy old grate, and washed her little slender finger's with- her tears, until a lean, lank cat, rlieutomie_ood-consumptive with starvation and age, came mewing.up to the forlorn little girl, and nestled close in her arms. This dis play of brute sympathy made the child forget her grief. She talked to old Tabitha, and told her all her woes, and told her of niee Mrs. Jel lison, and how. she was one day going to be a great lad x„ Itand then pussy shall have a gold saucer to drink milk out, of, and a soft, warm bed dose to the. fire." "Purr," said the cat. Six years passed by—six years of freezing and starving to poor little lletty—but through it all the little girl of ten had grown into the modest woman of sixteen, who, thanks to the kind friendliness of Mrs. Jellison, had learned to read and sew, and to distinguish between 'right and wrong. It was only odd moments, here a little and there a little, that Mrs. Jelli son had in which to prosecute her gond work, but she made those few moments tell in her own queer way : for, with all her superstitions and oddities, the little house-keeper was gen uine at heart. lletty's grandmother, from being an indus trious and indefinigable rag-picker—up early and late, never losing a chance to turn alrenny, honestly or otherwise—had become old and bed-ridden and ten times more querulous and esacting arid cruel than ever. grandmother, you are feeling so weak and poorly, this oyster-broth will strengthen you.

'Well !—go, will you ?" .''To please you, yes :" and Hefty went out into the entry with the bowl, and depositing it on the window sill, she came into the' dingy little room and handed her grandmother a six .pence she had in her pocket.

Man and wife were, indeed. one flesh : for he saw with her eyes. and she beard with his ears! 'lt was beautiful to. me ever after to watch the old man and woman in their inseparableness: Their sympathy with each other was as swift as electricity, and wade their deprivation as naught.
