Select Tale
Tk CtaMlneal Uoil.
' Tbe potato famine ia Ireland was
nowhere felt more severely than in
that part of the country where the
followtnff story s tola as a true tale.
In s small village in one of tbe
most barren districts of the west of
Ireland, there lived a very poor wi
dow whose sole inheritance from her
husband were two healthy children,
girls, of the respective ages of three
and five. Painfully and by tbe ut
most effort she had contrived to pass
two yoara of her sorrowful widow
hood. Bad and scanty food, obtain
ed only by labor too creat for her
delicate frame, had at last thrown
her upon her aick bod, and death in
pity peraoved her in a few daj s with
out prreat aufferinir, from her earthly
troubles, The poverty of tbe'whole
parish was so groat that nothing
could be done for tbe poor orphan.
All the neighbors with the utmost
desire to heln. were too famine strict
en, and heard their own children too
often err in vain for bread, to assist
others.
"If the children could only get to
Kilburn, s village some miles dis
tant, said one of tbe neighbors, after
the poor mother bad been buried, "a
brother of their father lives there,
and he could not possibly refuse to
take care of them.
"But matters are as bad there as
here," replied another, and I fear
they will be no better off there."
"It cannot be possibly worse than
here, for nothing but starvation
stares them in the face. If we send
them to their relations we have done
our duty. V cannot possibly keep
them here."
fo a carrier, who was going near
to Kuburn, as an act of chanty, took
the two eirla Liurie was seven now
and Mary fivein his cart witb hlru.
The timid children kept very quiet
and close together, ana ue earner
hardly looked at them. Towards
noon they reached the spot where
the cart would turn off The man
lifted them oat, showed them the
road to the left, and bade them go
straight forward, and if they did not
go from the high road they would in
about two hours come to the place.
lie- then drove off. Tbe childrn
sobbed out "good-bye" and looked
after him as long as they oould see
the last speck of the oart, and then
tuey botn began to cry.
Lizaeooaaed her crying first; She
took hold of her little sister t hand
who had seated herself on tue grass,
and said t Get up, Mary 1 we must
not stay here if we wish to get to
Kilburn. We cannot stop here on
the road."
"I am so hungry, sobbed Mary-
"We have bad nothing to eat all day."
And again they both began to cry i
for Lizzie was tually hungry. -
Tue children wero very week, and
oould only drag themselves slowly
along. Hand iu hand they tottered
on. At last lizzie fancied she saw
a house, and pointed to the apot It
took them more inan a quarter oi an
boor before they reaohed the farm
hoise, for such it proved to be. With
hesitating steps they entered the
yard, for they baa never neggea De
fore in spite of their former misery.
But at this moment they oould think
of nothing else bat their terrible
hunger. When oat ft lew steps trom
the house they heard the farmer vio
lenfjy scolding one of bis men, then
be went into the boose, fiercely clos
ed the door after him, so as to make
the window rattle, continuing his
abuse all the time. Tbe children
terrified, stood still at ths door wbsrs
they bad (6 aster. Tbe farmer sat

. Linie at last took courage, and
said gently i Oh, if yon would be
so good as to give on the least bit to
eat a small piece of bread or a few
potatoes."
"I thought so," said tbs fanner t
I was sure you were nothing but
beggars, although you do not aantq
to belong to this neighborhood. We
have plenty of those here, and do
njt want thorn to some from other
ptrta. We have not bread for our
selves in these hard times. Yon will
get nothing here. Be off this mo
ment." The children, both dreadfully
freightenod, began to cry bitterly.
"That will not do too any srood,"
continued the man t "that kind of
whining is nothing new to me and
won t move tue. Lot. your parents
feed you i but they no doubt profor
idling rather than getting their living
by honest labor.
"Our parents are both dead,'' said
Lizzie.
"I thought so," replied the farmer.
"Whenever children are aont out to
beg their father and mother are al
ways dead, or at least their father.
This ia a mere exouse for bogging1.
Be off this minute.
"We have not eaten a morsol the
whole day,' pleaded Lizzie. "We
are so tired that we cann.it movo a
step. If you would give us the least
little bit to eat, we are so hungry.".
"1 have told you I would not :
Beggars get nothing here."
The farmer got up with a threat
ening look. Lizzie quiokly opened
rho door, and drew her sister with
her. The childron again stood iu
(he form yard, but knew nol wua to
do. Suddenly littlo Mary drew her
hand from her sister's grasp, 'and
went to (be other side of (he yard i
there was a fierce dog ohained i his
dinner stood before him iu a woodon
basin. Mary put her hand into (be
basjq And began to eat with (he dog.
Lizzie wenl near and saw thai in the
besiu there was some liquor, in which
a few pieces of bread and boiled po
tatoes were floating. She, likewise
could not resist i she bad but one
feeling, that of (he most knawing
hunger i she took some of the bread
and potatoes and ate thbm greedily.
The dog, not accustomed (o such
guests, looked at (he children full of
astonishment i he drew back, then sat

added : "Voti are going to K'Hmro

"The children's tear quickly oho

Simplicity la Living.
To live simply, to master and con
trol our expotidittiro, is a sure nood
in all dosses. The influences which
surrounded us, the habits which we
fall into as a second nature, all sway
lis ia the same direction. Evo
ry family and every cluss seems to
have caught hold of tho skirts of tho
one above it, anil be dosperutoly
holding on. Well, as Mr. Uoldwiu
Smith says, tho best thing that they
can do is to let go tho only thing,
luduou, wlucu will giVQ themselves
any comfort, or make their livos of
real use ia their generation. Tho
moment they will du so, and begin
icsolutely to live without regard lo
what tbeir ooiirhbor on the right
peols on orriage, or their oejgh-.
hor oo the I. ft on uphoictry. tnoy
will find themselvoi rioh for all good
purposes From that moment it cao
no longer bo .aid of us witb truib
that we daro not trust our wits to
make our hoqies leesun,t to our
fr ends, and so we buy ieo cream.
And this most needed of all re
form is jujrtt the oqe which every aoul
of u. cao earry through for him-elf or
bereelf. We cannot sweep our whole
streets. No doubt, liut every one nl

if be will do It quietly aod rettuhtrly,
noon bis right band neighbors follow.
and before long the whole street is
swept. And in this way and, by this

A startling picco of nows has jimt

to be traced tho rim of a prnhietorio
