PV ANTOINETTE L. BROWN.
“Do you sell ihese things, liitle girtl”
The question was asked of a child who
could not have seen more than seven years;
yet she siood alopa beside an apple and candy
stand on the corner of one of the worst streets
in the city.
She smiled, and nodded under a little, faded
hood, and then breathed a very faint “Yes’-
am,’’ from two of the prettiest red lips.
“But does not your mother help you
“Sumeiimes.”
“Well how much is this stick of candy ?”
“A cent.”
“And this apple ?’’
“Two cents,’
_“And this V
“Two cents.”
“I low many cents will that be, little one 1 n
She counted them on her small fingers—
“l ive cents ma’am,” she answered at last
with a glmious smile, and a pleased tone that
said, “1 know I'm right.”
“kou are a nice litilo merchant,” I said;
hut she seemeu not greaily to appreciate the
compliment. Her face shrank away in the
shadow.
“Sometimes it rains out here,” she ans
wered simply, shivering as she spoke.
“Then yon feel cold I suppose'!”
One more non of the head, and a faint
twinkle ol a rougish eye. The child puzzled
in- I was afraid she was acting; for she
a row ; kf scanty shawl about her, and sank
clown on the pavement —looking so weary
and paiicnl and faithful ! How it freezes up
the heart to feel suspicious of those about us,
and especially to mistrust a little child like
this. Vt-t I dnl mistiust her—did try to look
through iliose blue eves to see if all were sin

merchant* mane a distinct feature of New
York hie. in this department of the mer
cantile prelession, women are ever the suc
cessful coinneniors to men ; and when fadies
were tenderly wrapped m cloaks and furs,
and oUt teamen, toothless and dim-eyed, sal
collansed on sidewalks ; great muscular
dames, with laces wretched in smiles of acid
and wurmwo >u, crouched down upon their
numb feet to give them warmth; pale mat
rons thin and sorrowful, staling piteously with
their big eyes at every passer-by, perched
shivenngly upon boxes; and stout young
girls with fat, red faces set up tents and
booths of old crates and dowdyish shawls to
hide away from the wind ; every one of them,
because coarsely or thinly clad, legitimately
entitled to a stand in the public streets of this
great metropolis of the Western World.
So womanhood is idealized into the third
heaven of Fifth-avcnuc parlors, as supennas-
culi'ne'and angelic, and actuaJitsd here on
earth and the stone pavements of dirty streets,
as our most prosperous and patronized -“out

Our poor little candy-girl—if her future is
hung darkly with shadows—will the world

Some crusty, rusty,, fusty, lusty, musty,
dusty, gusty, curmudgeon of an old bachelor
gave the following toast at a celebration :
“Our fire-engines —j may they be like
our old iriaids—ever ready, but never want
ed.”
“Tom, stand out of the way of that gen
tleman.”
“How do you know he’s a gentleman 7”
“Why, he wears a stand-up collar and
swears.”
“Sambo, is this the right road to Bladens
burg 7” “Y’es, massa, but turn your lubly
feet t’other way or you'll neber get there.”
One line warned, and here it is.

cases -where the patient has been considered beyond

by sclf.dpusc or excessive venery, I do not know his

“ Tills is, without exception, the most comprchen.
sivc and intelligible work published on the classes of
diseases of which it treats. Avoiding all technical
terms, it addresses itself to the reason of its readers.
It Is free from all objectionable matter, and no par.
ent, however fastidious, can object to placing it in
the hands of his sons. The author has devoted ma
ny years to iho treatment of the various complaints
treated of, and with too little breath io puff and too
little presumption to impose, he has offered to the
world at the merely nominal price of 25 cents, the
fruit of some twenty years’ most successful practice.
“No teacher or parent should be knowlcdc impar
ted in this valuable work. It would save years of
pain and mortification and sorrow to the youth un.
der their charge.”— Peoples' Advocate.
A Presbyterian clergyman in Ohio, writing of
“ Hunter’s Medical Manual” says— “Thousands
upon thousands of our youth, by evil example and
influence of the passions, have been led into the
habit of self-pollution without realizing the sin and
fearful consequences upon themselves and posterity
The constitutions of thousands who arc raising fam
ilies have been enfeebled, if not broken down, and
they do not know the cause or cure. Anything
that can be done so to enlighten end influence the
public mind as to check, and ullimotcly to remove
his wide spread source of human wrelchedcess,
would confer the greatest blessing next to the relig
ion of Jesus Christ, ou Ihq present and coming gen
eration. Intemperance (or the use of inloxiculing
drinks) though: it has slain thousands upon thou*
sands, is not a greater scourge to the human race.
Accept my thanks on behalf of the affliclcd,ond be
lieve roc your co-worker in the good work you arc
so actively engaged in.”
