"Don't cry, Nellie," said a piping little voice. " You know what mamma told us the night she died. 'God will provide,' she said. I ain't a bit hungry ; Indeed, indeed I ain't" It was Saturday night—a wild, bitter winter night. The wind rattled at the loose case ment, and roared down the fireless chimney. The two orphans had eaten nothing all day, and there was not a cent in the house. From earliest dawn, the eldest had been sewing at a bit of p'ece-work for a clothing.stnre, In hopes to complete it before night ; but now, when dusk had come, and the task was still unfin ished, her brave heart had given way, and letting the waistcoat fall into her lap, she had burst into despairing tears. Nellie Thorndike and her little, six-year-old sister, Anne, were the children of a clergy man, who had worn himself out in the service of his Master, in an obscure country district. His wife had soon followed him to the grave, broken hearted, leaving their orphan offspring alone and Itentiless, in the great city to which slit had come, in hopes to earn a living by giving lessons in music. For awhile Nellie had fought bravely to keep the wolf trout the door: But as her needle was her only resource, the battle bad gone steadily against her. First, one comfort had to be given up, and then another; no fire had been kept, though winter had come ; very often the sisters had gone supperless to bed. Today they had eaten nothing. The last crust, the lust penny were gone. No wonder Nellie had broken down ! Even at seventeen, when hope is still high, there can be such a thing as despair. But she rallied at her little sister's words. Hastily brushing the tears from her eyes, she took the child in her arms and kissed her vs hen iently. "I know ! I know !" she said. " I have been weak and wicked. Yes, darling ! God will provide." " And don't you remember," said Annie, nestling to her sister's heart, "that verse in the Bible, about never seeing the righteous forsaken, or their seed begging bread? Mother used to give it to me to learn by heart." She was interrupted by a loud, imperative knocking at the door. Hark ! What was that ?" she cried, in a frightened whisper. Nellie started to her feet, but still held the child. She was pale, and trembled, and had ‘%ild look, as of one hunted to death. "It is the landlady," shi• said. " I prom ised to pay the rent tonight ; and I had 1•or. But I haven't a penny. What•shall we it ? She will turn us out into the streets." •' ! not tonight, not to-night I" cried Anne, convulsively clutching her sister. Jtist listen to the storm.' The danger roused Nellie, as danger always rouses the brave. Iler eyes kindled: ller frail form seemed to grow taller. " She won't dare to do it. She cannot be se cruel," 'she said. Yet she hardly believed her oWn words. "But I must go and open MEMO She put Anne down as Vie spoke. The child followed, clinging to her skirts. The knocking. by this time, had become (a lma furious: . Nellie unbolted the door, and stood there, with a fast-beating heart, but out wardly calm. Brave, noble girl ! It was, as she had expected, the landlady. But, to her surprise, no angry countenance met Nellie's gaze. The new comer was in a flurry of apparently pleasurable excitement. "Oh, Miss I" she cried, raising her hands, as if in admiration, " such a carriage as is at the door—with a footman as well, Miss." She spokein short, gasping sentences. evidently out of breath with her haste. "They are ask ing for you, Miss. Miss Nellie Thorndike and her sister. There's such a grand old lady in the carriage. With such beautiful white hair. Such a dress !" And the hands went up again. "They're coming up stairs them selves to see you. I've Just run ahead----;" At this point, the landlady's exclamations were cut short by a tall footman, who uncere moniously pushed her aside, joshing way for the most wonderful vision, in the shape of an old lady, that Nellie had ever conceived of, much less beheld. So stately and grand, and yet so sweet-looking withal, and dressed so magnificently !

THE S'I7EZ CANAL.—An English tourist, who passed through this canal last September in the British steamship Nestor, is confident it must prove financially and commercially a success. The minimum depth is now twenty• two feet, except at one point where it is a foot lea's. The Nestor drew nineteen and a half feet of wuter,and in addition. to her own steam power, was aided by a tug to keep her head in proper course. But the greatest want now felt Is increase , ' width of channel, so that large vessels cau pass each other With ease. At present vessels are compelled to wait nt Ridings. This Improvement will be made, thinks our tourist, in duo time ; for it Is evi dent that the better portion of the trade be tween Europe and the East, and also a poi.- lion of the American trade, will pass through the canal, The banks remain firm, and no signs appear of the once-apprehended drift. It Is stated as a curious fact that the "Bitter Lakes" have now become a large sea, swarm ing with fish. The place which centuries past was but a mero depression In the desert. now assumes what was doubtless Its earlier condition. The Nestor passed through the canal In fourteen hours, and at a cost of less that £7OO. Ismalia, a city which has sprung up on its banks, is said to excel already Alex andria In attractiveness and convenience. Three largo steamers, the Norman, Pine Bluff and City of Evansville, were burned at Evansville, Ind., on Monday, and . Mrs. Ward, a passenger on the Norman, was burn ed to Death.

Joy, of Detroit, Mich., now visit ing this city, on Monday afternoon left the °Dice of the Farmers' Loan and Trust Com pany, bearing under his arm a bundle of fifty $l,OOO bonds of the Chicago and lowa Rail road Company, wrapped in brown paper. On the paper, in large ,ollaracters, was inscribed "50,000." John Price, a notor ous sneak thief, standing listlessly 'on the edge of the curb stone, started, upon seeing this inscrip tion, and followed Mr. Joy into an omnibus. Thirty minutes later Mr. Joy and his escort alighted at the St. Nicholas Hotel, and the former proceeded up stairs to Ills room, and, placing the bonds upon the mantel piece, re- Vint, d to the vestibule of the hotel, and en ters 1 into conversation with the clerk. Price, in the mean while, proceeded to the corridor in which Mr: Joy's room is situated, and called loudly for a chambermaid, who ap pcarcd. " See here, my dear girl," said Price, " father sent me up for that bundle of his, and I have lost my key ; won't you please open the door ?" And Price pointed to the en trance to Mr. Joy's room. " Certainly, Sir," said the girl, and Price walked in and looked carefully around in search of the bonds. While thus engaged, he was called to the door by a knock, and, opening it, received a card from a bellboy, whp said there was a gentle man below..who desired to see Mr. Joy. " Father is out at present ; tell the gentleman to call again," replied Price, and the bell-boy disappeared. A few moments later, 34 ; Joy went up to his room, and was surprised to find the door open. Upon entering, he pet ceived that the bonds had disappeared, and, suspecting robbery, gave the alarm at once, but iu vain, No thief could be found within the hotel limits. Detective Keeley, attached to the hotel, immediately set to work to capture the thief, if possible, and, aided by a description given by the chambermaid and bell-boy, early Wed nesday morning, captured Price in a saloon at the corner of Broadway and Nineteenth-st., the resort of desperate characters of all de scriptions. The bonds were not recovered, but are practically valueless to the thief; as they cannot be negotiated without subjecting the person offering them to almost certain ar rest, the numbers of the bonds having been advertised. Price was taken before Justice Shandley,at the Jefferson Market Police Court Wednesday afternoon, and committed for ex amination.—Tribune. The Late Massacre in China. Rev. Mr. Baldiviii, for twelve years past a missionary in China, gave an address at Bos• ton on Thursday night, in which he gave an account of the Methodist missionary work in that country and of the causes which led to the recent Chinese massacre of Europeans. After describing some of the difficulties attend ing the missionary work, he said there were no converts during the first ten years, but there are now nearly two thousand native Christians, and among them are many minis. tors and lay preachers, who sometimesendure untold persecutions. The Methodists have three principal mission stations, the largest of them being at Foochow. The missionaries in China look upon the Burlingame mission iu a different light from that in is hick it is viewed by most people iu this country. The mandarins wanted the treaty of 1860 to remain as it was, and not to be revised at the end of ten years according to the agree. meat ; and 'to accomplish this end their chief, Mr. Hart, offered to Mr. Burlingame the mis .sign to foreign nations, as no mandarin 01 the first class would accept it. lie was to receive $4O 000. Ile was instructed to make a new treaty, that should be ah nearly like the old one as possible; but the Chinese were astonished at the first reports of his speeches that came to them, to the effect that China %vistaed railroads, telegraphs and all modern improvements, and offered to Americans the inside track in their construction; whereas such things were far from being the real wishes of the mandarins of China, and the treaty was found on comparison with the old one to differ only in this, that when China was ready to build railroads, America should be allowed to furnish the engineers, etc., for the work. But the understanding the Americans had from Mr, Burlingame's speeches and repre .sentation led them and the English and French afterwards to give directions in be half or China, that no gunboats on the Chinese coast should exact reparation for injuries on the spot, but that such injuries should be re ported to tho Minister in Pekin, and he in turn should receive instructions from the home government before notion should he taken against China, excepting only cases which involved the lives or fbreign citizens. China construed these instructions, as in dications of backing down on the part of the treaty-making powers, instead of indications of magnanimity, as they were intended. She therefore very naturally concluded that, as , any injury they might do could not be. pun ishedfor nearly a year. it was a most favor. able opportunity to drive all foreigners out of China. This is really the desire of all the Chinese, as those on the spot cannot fail to see. This was the real cause of the late ter rible massacre there. A THEATRICAL UNPLEASANTNESS AT Boa. TON.—Fechter, the theatrical manager and actor, now at Boston, has always been a master hand to get into trouble, and a Boston letter says he has already had a quarrel with . Mr. Cheney, the owner of the Globe theatre. The letter says: "Mr Cheney engaged Mrs. Chanfrau as leading lady, while Fechter en. gaged Miss Le Clercq to play opposites to hint, and consequently both ladles claimed the right to play Ophelia. Miss Le Clereq, backed by Fechter, won the contest, and Mrs. Chaufrau is doing nothing. Unfortun ately, the last two weeks of " Monte Cristo" hardly paid expenses—indeed some say money was lost: Besides that the attendance on the opening night of "Hamlet" was very slim. So Mr. Cheney, who has to hand over his money, is coming to believe that he has got an elephant on his bands. Ile threatens, 1 understand, to turn Fechter out unless that gentleman succeeds in drawing better houses. Mr. Fecliter's engagement is, I believe, for five years, at $BO,OOO a year, and I am greatly mistaken II the gentleman consents easily to surrendering such a salary." • INTERESTING BOND CASE. Nearly $200,000 worth of seven-thirty bonds, presented by different New York bankers, were redeemed at the New York Sub-Treasury several months ago, which were subsequently, upon inspection at Washington, discovered to be counterfeit, and it is supposed that they were printed from , a plate stolen from the Treasury Department. The Government has begun suits against the bankers for the recov ery of the value of the bonds, and a test case has been begun against the well known firm of Jay Cooko LS: Co., who sold about $BO,OOO worth of the bonds. One point will be, whether, at the time of the sale of the bonds, any agreement was made between tim bank ers and the Government concerning the re sponsibility, if any of the bonds should prove to be irregular. The trial commenced at New York last week, and will probably last several days. HENRY WARD BEECHER ON A 1 LOCOMOTIVE. I think some of my pleasantest experiences in life, in a common way, are likely to be on locomotives. I bad the pleasure of riding on one from Boston to Worcester, and on coming up to Framingham I was reminded of a con versation I once bad there. I was reminded of 't by the man himself, tot- I had met him in Boston. Several years ago as I was waiting to go to Marlboro, a young man asked me if I was Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, and if I had any objection to riding on the machine. I told hint none at all ; and lam) we had got far he broke the 'matter to me, and told me about his soul's salvation. He had been trot". bled about it, and did not seem to get much rest, and he wanted some instruction, some consolation. So I rode along the fields and along the villages with him preaching Christ. After coming home I sent to him a number of religious books and things. He was soundly converted. lie went to the Sabbath school, bel-ame the superintendent, and from that day to this, he has been known as an ac tive and witnessing Christian, letting his light shine for the guidance and consolation of other people. When I was in' the station house at Boston, he came up to me—l remem- bered him—and we had some very pleas ant conversation. My good brother, I felt a kinship with him. I went forward to see the engine, as I usually do—to see where it was built, and what sort of an engine it was—for I always enjoy eating an apple the more when 1 know what the name of it is—l went forward, and there stood Hobart, the engineer. 'I knew him of old ; a fine florid• faced man ; a man you would not like to run against, though one you would like to . lean against. "Come up here," he said. I went up, and had not long sat down before he broke out and told me what the Lord had done for his soul. And he mentioned a very interesting fact. He said that there was a time when there was not a man he knew of on that road—the operative corps on the road—that professed the faith of Christ. "Now," says lie, "we have fifty that are professing Christians ; men who don't drink ; that do love God and possess the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ—and more coming too." Ana lie told me how it was done. Little by little. " The man Who won't rend a chapter at first will read a verse, and so they get along step by step. We get him to leave oft tobacco, then something else ; and when he gets on going,then we push him." He showed, in short, good mother wit and that he knew how to work for men ; lie had studied the best Pay to get at them, and how to bring them to Christ. And I went along with hi•n to Wor center; and talked with him on the way. It was a good meeting for my soul. The Fashionable Clergymen of New York and Their Pay. In the Episcopal order there are Vinton anal Dix in the high church, with the Tyngs, both father and son, in the low church. In the Presbyterian we have Adams of Madison square and Hall of Fifth avenue. In the Reformed Dutch branch there are Ormiston, a new coiner, and Dewitt, who is now just entering the retired list. The Baptist can boast the learned Williams, the heavy-toned Armitage, and the noisy Wescott, while the Methodists have Smith, Newman, Harrower, and a score or other acceptable divines. Out or all this number, Beecher being a Brooklyn man, there are but three men of first class talents. These are Dewitt, who, as I have said, is just about retiring, Tying senior, who Is also nearly worn out, and Hall, of the Fifth avenue. The latter, bring not much over forty, may be expected to yield considerable service; and is Is all respects the most able and most popular preacher in this city. There are a largo number of useftil and worthy cler gymen here, but wl.ll all their excellence they have not reached distinction. It is, perhaps. much to their advantage that they have no'; for an excess of reputation is one of a profes sional man's greatest mishaps. Hall receives about $lO,OOO, not all salary, but perquisites and donations will reach this figure. His sn - airy is marked by a distinction peculiar to his own ease, being payable in gold. , This arose from his being called from Dublin, where all currency Is on a gold basis, and also because lie cause at a time when our paper money was fluctuating in no small degree. In order there fore, to place his call on a solid basis, it was made payable in gold. Dr. Tyng's office is worth $7OOO per annum mid a cam brad) e rectory. Dr. Potter of Grace church cakes in not less than $lO,OOO. beside the Use of the ta at rectory in New York. Dr. A. ems,bein very rich, is not so well paid, his berth being not .worth more than $OOOO ; and Howard Crosby, who is also rich, is paid in a manner equally poor.• Dr. Dewitt and Dr. Ormiston, of the Dutch body, get $7BOO. Dr. Dix of 'trinity gets $lO,OOO, and Vinton, his right hand man, must receive nearly as much. As Trinity has an estate worth twenty ruilions, her clergy ought not to go hungry. From the rates above mentioned, clerical pay de. clines to the pittance received by the city mis sionaries, which is about $BOO per annum. These men, instead of enjoying a parsonage of palatial extent, are glad to have a pair of apartments in a tenement house, and Instead of being invited to splendid weddings and similar entertainments, they are called to min. gle with the poorest and most degraded of society. Our clergy have very handsome perquisities for uniting the young and happy cuuplts who abound In our rich congregations. It must be understood that the prestige of high clerical position adds much to the Mat of a marriage/de. As a matter of course, there Is a great impropriety in demanding the time of a distinguished minister without a fitting compensation. Such men as , Tyng and B. colter are not to be put off, like a country dominle,with a five dollar bill. Any one who is ambitious of advertising his marriage by such pompous officials should touch a $5O note at least, and I presume that from $lOO to $5OO are the figures moat in vogue, but double the last has been fingered on such an occasion by the happy divine.. In addition to these fees, our populer clergynen are often the recipients of handsome presents. If any wealthy mem ber of the society desires to distinguitth him self among them, let him make the pastor a New York present of $lOO or $5OOO, or let him send the honored divine a fine piano. It will soon be noised abroad with the most flat tering comments, and the next time the donor appears in church he will observe that the eye of the public is directed toward him in a very attacked and gratifying manner.—Nero York Letter. HEAVY FAILURE.—The Northern Trans portation Company suspended payment on Tuesday, with liabilities of $400,000, of which $200,000 is duo to banks In Ogdensburg, To ledo, and Detroit, and a small amount in New York, and the remainder for insurance, sup plies, end,interest accounts. The assets of the company aro estimated at $1,200,000, mostly in perishable property, canal-boats, lake steamers, and other vessels, which can not be realized at this time of year, except at a heavy sacrifice.

In each grand division of the State a thousand or more acres of land are to be acquired by gift or purchase, and this land will bo . cut up • Into small lots of one or two acres, with a small cottage on each lot.

In most cases there I'l.lll be children old enough to care for the land, raising vegetables and fruits for the market ; and any deficiency of food and rai- ment will be supplied from the benevolent fund of the grand division. The soventy.two Masonic lodges of the State have already raised nearly eighty thousand dollars toward the object to be accomplished, and by another year will have raised the amount desired, be- fore making a practical test of the project. PLOD AND PLUM—Henry Ward Beecher spoke the other day at the commencement ex ercises of a business college in New York. We quote a passage on pluck and plod : "I do not believe a business man who says that he has asked for employmen> and cannot get It. I. know many out of employment, brit 'they are drones; they are not business men of the world. A. business man may lack a good many things, but he will get on if he has pluck. There is no business man who has not pluck, and there is another word, which Is the greht estbilsiness word in the world—l name ft in its homeliness, and it is an old Saxon word—it is cal.ed plod. 'Oh,' says somebody, 'he's only a plodder'! Ah I there never was man,the most brilliant genius in the world, who did not owe his success to this process of being a plodder. It Is very well for genius to conse crate and light the path of life, but it must be pluck and plod that carries a man over the paths of life. I would have these words in scribed over the walls, the pluck of life, the plod of life." The population of Missouri is 1,714,102.
