THE H1FFT MAN.
A ranaTHRaSt.
Two aapphlras are thy two Hue eye.
So krrely and to iweet;
Thrioe happy it the hapry man
Whoa tortcgly they preet.
Thy heart It If a dlamon.1
That noble lightning throws:
Thrice happy Utha man
For whom it throb and glowa.
And rnbiea arc thy erimson lips,
Nona lovelier might one reach:
Thric happy 1. the happy man
Who geta- of them lore speech.
If I bat knew the happy man.
And met that tavored one
Alone, alone ln th. green woods,
Hia happlneaa were done!
JISTICE AT LAST.
If every one ia this world held as
high an opinion of his own merit as
did Mr. Thomas Acher, and were re
warded hereafter ia accordance, there
would be no room in heaven. Tak
ing his own private view of the mat
ter, Le was generous and conscien
tious to a perfectly painful degree.
Bat, unhappily, a good man7 Ve
differed widelr with him oa this im
portant point accusing him of mean
ness and penary ia general, and of
certain dishonest practiceoward lis
former employer, llliam Severe.,,
in particular, 6imply because when
that gentleman suddenly became
bankrupt for no visible cause, Mr.
Archer, then acting as his contiUen
tial clerk, was found to have the bus
iness all in his own hands. Dut to
minds unprejudiced, there was in
this fact no proof whatever of any
thing underhanded. Matters were
just a trifle complicated, ana ma-, v. aa
ail.
Besides, if there bad been any
trifling erounds for suspicion, they
should have been swallowed up bod!-
ly in admiration of his subsequent
noble conduct Instead of turning
Mr. Deverell now old and feeble
into the streets to bog or starve, as
he might have done, he made him
his porter at six dollars a week.
This sum, enormous as it was, failed
to satisfy the extravagant notions cf
the obstinate old man. Jle coin
Dlained of hard work and poverty,
and made himself S3 disagreeable a'
together, that it was a wonder that
Mr. Archer's patience had not long
since given out.
The conversation going on at pres
ent between the employer and his
porter will show how the gentle heart
of the former was daily wounded by
the ingratitude of the latter:
"So," said Mr. Archer, looking
over his desk." jou are la'.e again,
Deverell, are you?"
"Yes, sir," answered the old man,
Lauablv. "My daughter is very ill,
mi I stayed with her a little over
tu y Line to make her comfortable fjr
th day.
-WelL" retorted Mr. Archer, grim
ly, " tat has that to do with me? I
p'ay you for ten hours' work, and ten
hours' work I am going to have out
of you, or some one will get into
trouble. Now, then, what d es that
card say?" pointing to.abit of dasty
pasteboard, hanging over the desk.
The card ssud and seemed to be
mightily ashamed of itself, too that
fines would be collected irom tne sai
aries of emplyees for various invisi
ble offenses a very pretty and inge
nious scheme of extortion. ' It says,
continued Mr. Archer, "that you are
tf be fined for bein?; late, don't
i' Well, too are fined twenty-five
cent3."
"Oh, sir," said Deverell, anxiously.
"will you not excuse me this time
If I am fined again this week I shall
ha e nothing left to buy medicine for
my child."
"Now, I've got enough of thi
whining," retorted the other angrily:
"if you don t like the piace, get
another."
"I would gladly, if it were possible.
But who would take me, old and
worn out as I am?"
"Weil," answered Mr. Archer with
a sigh, as if his patience had at last
given out under such aggravation,
"IU give you a chance to find out.
Step op to the desk and gel what's
due you fines deducted and clear
out"
"What!" cried Deverell, ia a
trembling roice. "You cannot mean
that you discharge me! No, no! Think,
sir, we should starve."
"Starve then, was the amiable reply,
"Jenkins, just hand me over four-fifty,
will you? There arc your wages; now,
take yourself off?"
With these words, jerking the mon
ey towards him, Mr- Archer turned
his back upon him.
The old man stood looking at him
a moment with his hands extended
in an involuntary gesture of supplica
tion; then with a sigh that sounded
like a wail of grief, he turned and
went out As the door banged after
him as viciously as if it shared the
opinions of its owner, a young man
left one of the desks ia the room,
and, approaching Mr. Archer, said:
"Father, what is the matter with Mr.
Deverell?"
"Matter? I discharged the ungrate
ful old dog that's all."
"But," said the other, uneasily,
"how will he lire? lie is too old to
get another place."
Don't know and don t care,"
snapped Mr. Archer. "I won't take
bun back, if that a what you re driv
ing at"
"At least you will not object if I in-
tccst myself ia his behalf!'"
"No," was the grudging reply.
"H I shall think you a fool for
troubling yourself about him all the
same.
"Where does he live?" asked the
son, disregarding the latter part of
bis father's answer.
"Don't know."
The young man drew back with
an air of disappointment, and, after a
moment of hesitation, returned
thoughtfully to his desk.
Meanwhile William Deverell plod
ded dejected through the crowded
streets towards his poor habitation.
Bending over couch upon which
lay a young girl La a fitful slumber,
he gazed sadly into the pallid face.
Age and misfortune are very
Napoleons for conquering fortitude,
and a tear that he could not repress
started from his eye and fell upon
the cheek of the sleeper. Awakened
with a frightened start, the girl
arose upon her elbow, and exclaimed:
"The worst that could have hap

The daughter's lips quivered, but
she answered brightly:
"llope for the beet, my father.
You can easily get another situa
tion." "What are these good for?" he
cried, extending his withered hands.
"Who would hire them? IN'one, none;
we must perish."
Then the woman, weak, sick, per
haps hopeless herself, drew the aged
bead upon her breast, an, by the
power of her gentle sympathy, com

his heart

tered, "I should not care; bat how
will you be able to hear it? Well per

words he put on his ragged cap
again and went out upon his search
for work.
A very natural law cf trade is
that if a thing is good for nothing, it
can neither be sold or let to hire,
hence William Dererell being nearly
ud!U fur labor, could not get it to do.

j iher and child wer in actual want
Uue ciorninr. a few weeks after
his discbarge, William Deverell sat
in his room, with his face buried in
the depths of despair. The apart
ment had boen s:rippcd of all its poor
furniture, except the bed, to up;Iy
tLem with fuod, and there was no
fire upon the hearth, al-.bowrh the
day was bitter cold.

arose and approached the bedside.
His daughter looked at him and
smiled, oh! such a weak, pitiful smile,
and taking one of his hands ia her
own said:
' Never mind, dear, the worst has
come and gone, and it will soon be
! all over; and then, oh! my father.
what shall harm us there?"
The wretched man turned his eyes
away from her pointed finger, as if
he dared uot understand her meaning,
and crazed wildly around the room.
An old violin, too worthless to sell,
stiil hung against the wall, and as
his eye rested upon ir, it brightened
a little with renewed hope. "No,
no!'7 he cried "you shall not leave me
yet! She! I can play a little, and this
will support U3 until I can do better."
And, patting the instrument under his
arm, he left the room.
True to his kindly intentions. Hen
ry Archer, the moral opposite of his
grasping father, had -exerted himself
to discover the whereabouts of the
discharged porter. But to search for
one as poor and unknown as he
among the byways of this ereat city
is a task that's next to hopeless and
i: was only by accident that he came
upon him at last, with his white head
bowed over his violin, playing for
chant v for the passers-bv
Shacked at his sad appearance, the
generous voung man made his wav
towards him with the intention of of
fering him instant aid; but before h
could reach him through the jostlinir
crowu, tne oid man nad replaced his
ragged cap, and was moving slowly
away. Follow ing him as rapidly as
ue couiu, ne saw cim enter into an
old "building ia a narrow side street,
and without a moments hesitaton
bastned up the rickety stairs after
him. IIis knock brought no response
but a loud crv of distress from with
in. Acting on the impulse of the
moment, Le pushed open the door and
entered.
I'everell was kneeling over the
motionless body of his child, with an
expression upon his aged features too
terrible to describe. Aroused from
his stupor by the young man's step

to death. Ihen huc-jring both her
thin hands to his breast, he rocked
himself to and fro in silence.
With tears of svmyathy ia his
eyes, and feeling no shame for them
either. Ilenrv Archer knelt bv his

claiming: ' Courage, sir, She is not
dead, ste has only fainted. "See!
her lip trembles."
Ue was right In a moment more,
with a painful sigh, she opened her
eyes, and smiled reassuringly at her
father. And he, though knowing
that she had been free from the
troubles of her poor life for a better,
hailed her return to it with joy too
deep for words."
"Now, sir," said Henry, cheerful
ly, "let me tell you why I am here. I
have been searching for you for
weeks, because I feared pardon me
for saying it that yoa miirht have a
bard time in getting along, and I
doped to be of service to yon. Let
me begin by by" he hesitated, and
a blush spread over his honest young
face "by supplying your necessities
until such a time as I can procure
another and better situation. Take
this, sir, for the present, and believe
that it comes from one who does not
seek to insult yoa but to be your
earnest friend. Take it, if not for
yourself, at least for your child."
The old man turned his eyes slow
ly from the outstretched hand to the
face of his daughter, and then, with a
muttered "I thank you," took the
money. Having succeeded ia this
much, Henry left them, promising to
return the following day.
Oa presenting himself again late
the next afternoon, he found Evelyn
Deverell sitting up in ber chair alone,
and she greeted him with a smile of
recognition.
"Is your father at home?" he ask
ed. "No." she replied a little nervous
ly. "He took bis violin and went
out early this morning as usual."
"Why should he have done that?"
he rejoined, with an injured air.
"Could be not have trusted me for
one day? Well, since he is not here, I
suppose yoa and I mast lay plans for

is he a pretty fair penman, do yoa
think?"
"I'm afraid not," answered Evelyn, :
doubtfully; "he is so old that his
hand trembles a good deal. How
ever, ia that basket you will find the
papers he kept from his old business,
and tou can iudze for yourself."
Henry took down the basket, and
emptying the papers in his lap, ran
them over carelessly. Suddenly he
stopped at one of them with a start
of surprise, and read it through earn
estly. The yoGng girl watching hJm,
saw the color fade out of his cheek,
and a deathly paleness succeed it.
After a time he rested his bead in
his hands, and seemed to ponder long
and deenlv. Then he arose with a
strange expreseion of gloom upon his
face, and approached her "Miss
Deverell," he said, ia a low, husky
voice, "this paper contains matter of
the greatest importance to your
father. 1 shall keep it, and see that
justice is done him. No," he added.
gravely answering her looks. 1 can
tell yoa nothing more. Y'oa will
hear from me in a few days; meantime,
take this money it is only a little,
but all I have take it, I say," he
cried, almost fiercely. "I tell yoa it
belongs to yoa, and a thousand time9
as much." Forcing it into ber nana,
he went away without another word,
leaving her frightened and bewilder
ed by his strange actions.
"lather" he said, sternlv, ap
proaching Mr. Archer, "I always
krsew that yoa were a villain. Y'oa
ruined William Deverell deliberately.
Here is the proof," placing the paper
before his father.
"Where did yoa get this?" quiver
ed Mr. Archer, with a white face.
"I discovered it among his pa
pers." "Does he know its value?"
I doubt if he knows of its existence
even, so implicitly did he trust you
to his ruin, he added, bitterly.
"Then," said his father, compla
cently, "destroy it, and all's safe."
"No, I will not," answered Henry,
sharply. "Justice mu3t be done."
"Well," said Mr. Archer, going off
on the other tack, and assuming an
air of generosity that sat as well npon
his features a3 a couchshell would on
a snail's back, "III take him back at
ten dollars a week. But don't make
me five up the money.
"Every cent," retorted Henry,
firmly, turning away.
The upshot of this conversation
that a few days af.er Thomas Archer,
merchant, absconded with all be
could lay his hands upon.
Henry settled up the business to
the best advantage, and with the pro
ceeds in his pocket started for Mr.
Deverell's home, but when he arrived
there they learned that thev had
been driven out for non pay-meat of
rent Heavy hearted he soaeht in
formstion among the lowly neighbDrs
but conld get no trace af them and
was about giving up in dispair when
he ran across them sitting on the
steps of a tenement, the sick girl
wearily leaning on the old raan'e
shoulder.
Hailing a passing buck, he placed
them in a very few words the histo
ry of his father's dishonesty, his
stranire discovery of it and the sad
den reversal of their fortune.
"And yoa," Slid William Deverell.
after a long and grateful silence,
"what have tou left for yourself?"
"There." said Henrv, stretchin?
out his hands: "honest and willing to
work, not only fcr mr own support.
but also to make good that pirtion of
the debt which is still daeyou."
"Bat" said the other, "until yoa
are able to shift for yourself, let me
offer yoa some of this money "
''Not a cent," interposed Henry.
"It would burn my fingers- Beside?,
how could the son succeed where the
father is in such bad repute? No: I
will leave the city fcr a time and
find some employment, however hum
ble."
Both Evelyn and her father. would
have combatted this resolution, bat
he retorned firmly:
Let me take my own course. As
it is now, I cannot bear to look any
man in the face, for I feel as if ray
father's dishonor had reflected back
on me. lime and my own exertions
will overcome that, perhaps, and. in
the meanwhile, yoa shall hear from
me."
Resisting their entreaties that he
would remain with them longer, he
bade them farewell, and was gene.
Fostered by that care and atten
tion which her father's extreme pov
erty had hitherto, prevented her from
receiving, Evelyn very soon recover
ed her full health. A few weeks af
terward, purchasing a email dwelling
in a retired country town, the father
and daughter turned their backs
upon tha scene of their former suffer
ings.
Months rolled by and notbing was
heard of Henry Archer. And yet
he who had so noblv sacrificed him
self to his sense of right and honor
who had raised them out of the
depths of misery into peaceful afflu-
ence, was never out oi tneir tnouo-ois
a ..t -.l l a
Oftimes, when the old man, recalling
tnose sad days of sufferin? and de
spair, dwelt gratefully on his name,
there came a gentle glow to his
daughter's eye that spoke of more than
gratitude.
Une morning, as tney were sitting
m tneir little parior, they were
startled by a terrific explosion that
shook the windows and brought them
to their feet ia alarm. There was
death ia the Terr sound; and. ia a
few moments, the village was full of
excited, hurrying crowds, While
the father and daughter were con
vening together in awe strickeo
tones, a terrified villager rushed into
their presence with the news that a
disaster had taken place in one of the
neighboring quarries. A number of
the workmen had been slain outright,
and many more injured. For some
unknown reason, one of the wounded
men had begg-ed to be carried to Mr.
Deverell's residence, and they were
now bringing him up the road on a
litter.
Ghastly pale, even through the
blood streaks upon his sunburnt
cheeks, lay Henry Archer, alive,
breathing, and that was all. As
Evelyn and her father approached
and knelt by the stretcher, he opened
his eyes and smiled a faint remem
brance of his former cheerful smile.
Then his lipa were seen t3 move, as
era
if he would have spoken to them
"Hush!" said one of the rough but
pitvin? bvstanders. "He wants to
speak to too, sir."
"The pocket" whispered Henry
"package for you is.e ii out.
The man who had spoken, obeyed
" - t -a a WW
hi wish and drew forth a roll of
bank notes.
"The deVt all paid!" gasped
Henry.
"Oh. mv poor fellow!" said Mr.
Deverell, where was the need of this?"
Honor contented now," be mur
mured, more brokenly still. Then,
with a feeble attempt to give utter
ance to his satisfaction, andamomen
tary brightening of the dull eye as it
turned towards Evelyn, he sank qui
etly into insensibility.
Days went by that seemed like
long dim nights full of strange fan
cies and racking pain3 that would
only be quelled by the visioa of one
soft hand, and then he awoke to real
ity. Other days went by, and the
d iep, tender yearning that had arisen
in his heart at last found vent in
words. And as he spoke, over the
beautiful face of her whom he had
pitied and succored in distress, there
broke a smile, ia whose happy radi
ance he saw all his hopes fulfilled.

The other day I was reading a
long newspaper article about the mo
ral improvement of the heathens ia
Africa, and the pressing need of more
money to carry on the good work.
Having almost half au hour to spare,
I sat down oa the stone post office
step, put my feet on a boot black's
box, and while he used his brush I
asked:
"M v son, did you ever hear of hea

"That's where the rich men go,

"Do you know what sort of a place

and "there were apples and peanuts

"My son, did you ever hear of

"Adameve?" he mused, holding
his blacking box within an inch of

. "Be put ia a coffin."
"What eUe?"
"Berried."
"What else?"
"Then I'll rot'

swered :
'Ye want to git some joke on tne,

Don't you know that ycu have a
soul to save ?"
'Oh. go 'long !"
He looked straight into my eyes a
moment, then moistened the black
ing, and went over the boot with the
finishing coat.
' Didn't any one ever tell you," I
ficaliv continued, "that there is a
herea'fter ?"
"After where?"
"That the good shall be rewarded,
and the wicked punished?"
"Noap."
"Wouldn't you like to go to heaven

"iiv son, every one has a soul.

"Ballv! Where is it?" he ex
claimed.

bosom."
He pulled open his old rajrzed vest
and his dirty ragged shirt, and glanc
ed down. Then he looked cp at me
with a su3;i:":ous look, pickid up
his brushes, and went to work ob
my ether boot without a word of
reply. He felt that I had deceived
him.
"Would you like to be aa angel ?"
I asked.
"I couldn't be I haint no girl !"
he replied. "I seed more than forty
angels in the Black Crook, and all
was girls."
"If yoa live a good life yoa can

such fellows should be paid off,
