' EVESIXG.
Softly sets the sunset breexe, . ,
Vesper bella are ringing;
O'er the earth on beaded knees, ,
Night her veil is flinging.
Oh ! how weary feels my soul,
Now within her prijon ! ,
Hush ! be still, ye thoughts ot dole,
W he noe have ye arisen?
Homeward yearns the oaptive heart
Yonder where so brightly ...
Gleam the stars; it longs to part
From this earth unsightly.
tJently fades the evening red,
Vesper chimes are dying ;
Mature breathes a holy dread
Unshed is e'en her sighing.
. Lost X stand upon the lea., '
Night has closed around me ;
St ill as death is main a'nd sea
God ! their spell has bound me. - .
Fainter beats my pulses all, .
Dreamy visions haunt roe ;
WouM that from this blessed thrall
t Naught could disenchant me!

Becky went across the 'room and patted
her husband On the back.
"Now dont take on, Nick, don't," said
she. - "That can't be, for He knows all,
knows how good you are. Better times'U

The cobbler shook his head.

"I didn't like Tim," said Becky, "and I
just knew how nice and cozy we'd be togeth

used to go to Iioboken and have lemonade

"I havn't time to go out gallivanting now

"Oh, Becky," said the cobbler, "you try

Perhaps, being a strange, impulsive little
fellow, there might have been a tragic end
hnt that the children came

were gone rogetner impressed them with
tne nope ol provisions.
Meanwhile, Becky had gone begging.-'It
would be horrible, no doubt, she thought,to
take food from strangers, but she found there
was one thing even more terrible, not to
take it.
Door after door was slammed in hr face
Once a dog was set at her, or she thought
so. irToiessional beggars had maae them
selves nuisances to many people, and fiow
were they to know when real poverty asked
alms. Men whom they had pitied as paupers
proved to be owners of real estate. Cripples
and blind men whom they had aided were
found to have bound up strong limbs and
glued their eyes together so they were hard
upon real distress and refused its broken
bread. At six that evening Becky stood at
a street corner with one crust in her banket
no more.
Beyond lay a pawnbroker's phop, and
Becky looked at it's golden balls and her wed
ding ring. She had worn it fifteen years, and
it was thin and frr.il.but pure gold. Through
all she had kept it until now. Must it go?
The thought was worse than begging.
Becky took a sti.n forward, another back.
Then she began to cry a little. Nick's ring
that he put on her hand so lonjj ago oh
dear! oh dear !
But she grew brave again, and walked into
the shap and pawned the ring. It was not
much they gave for it, but it wou'd buy
supper, and perhaps Nick wouldn t notice, ,
and perhaps she could get it back. That
was a very faint perhaps," however.
A woman was in the nawnshon. as she
waited, bargaining with the proprietor over
a suit of little girl's clothing oftiitlv things.
btrangely out of place in her haDds. Becky
noticed this, .saying to herself that they
were never fairly come bv. But she had
forgotten all about jt when, coming out, of
the bakers a little voice fell on her ear, and
looking down, a bare-footed child, of four,
m wretched rags, sobbing vso ery pite
ously. Becky was soft of heart : but in noor
quarters, crying children are common enough
and her own were waiting for the loaves in
her basket. She walked on hastilyand so
upset the toddler. Then Becky needs stop
this night-time,' she said
here."
And a little silver voice of a thread an
swered :
I caut find mamma. I cant find my home.
Where is mamma? Oh, mamma!
Becky knelt down. A white head ot
crumpled curls, and a pair of blue eyes.
and swimming in tears, she could just make
out. . .
I'll take you home only say where
she said .
But the child could tell nothing. It was
plainly lost. Becky took it in her arms,and
made inquiries at the corner grocery, where
she bought a slice of ham ; but no one
knew the child. It was growing late, too,
and Becky would not leave the child to its
fate. " ......
I'll take it home," said she "and to
morrow find its folks." -
So when the cobbler and his children saw
rhft door onen at last, there enterec by it.
not only their mother and .basket, but a
baby also. m
A new habv came treouetiy to tnat estaD-
lishmcnt: and the children;m their juvenile
view of such matters, opineed that they
had another little sister.
"It's a poor lost child," said Becky.
I'm going to keep it to-night It's par
ents are poorer than we are, you can see
tht hv its bare feet and onlv one little frock
poor thing ! Now hold her, Nick, while I
cook supper. I didn t beg it Nick,so don t
frot " ..
And then, keenine her nng-faneer out ot
sight,Becky ft led the ham, and made gravy,
and cut bread, and sent lor two cents wortn
of milk which judiciously diluted, made a
niinrt of milk and water, and tried to be
verv cheertul.
i . .. .
The lost child cried, but liecky ted it, ana
soon coaxea it to taiK ; men came a majij
of a "bu' dess, and a "nassy woman.
Tb vouncest. who had chewed the rea

covered that some woman, described as "nas

and other garments, ana tnen naa wmp

"TW dress was blue. Nick." she cried

"UC1 . ?. . . . ill". 1
"Oh, Becky 1 he cried. "liecKy we

Beckv flushed scarlet . '
"I didn't mean to tell, she said, but
now it s out", 1 m maimed an tne same,
thank God. It was at the pawnshop I saw

woman whom she had watched and ol her

these men the police they may know."
Jiuuuut went nioK. ana cecity to ques
tion the policemen, until at last despairing
of an answer, they were turning homeward,
wheif a blaze of hght from an open door
fell oyer them, and they saw on the steps a
weeping woman and a tall handsome man.
"Hush; we will find her if she is alive,"
salu tne man. 1
My precious little Minnie," cried the
woman. . -i
Then Nick and Becky gave a sort of litule
cheer in unison. .
"It's them," said Becky ; "them certain
sure. Oh, mum, if your name is Smith,
andyou've lostalittle girl, we've fount I her."
And then the cobbler and his wife were
pounced upon and the story told. In half
an hour the six little Ogres without crowns
were aroused from their slumbers by an ar
rival, and tbe odd baby in their midst wai
taken out, to their distress and c nsterna
tion, for they had counted on keeping her.
And Nick and Becky forgot tbeir own
troubles in the parent's joy." And Nick said
it was like "poetry," and Becky said it was
like "a play,"
And so it was one with a happj' ending
for what should the lady do Imt beg and
pray Becsy to tell her. what she would like
best, and Becky confessed that to have her
wedding ring back was the hone of her life
and this led to the cause of its pawuing and
ail the scory of poverty and sorrow. Then
the dark hours ended and day broke; and
there was food and fire; and as it happened
that baby Minnie's father needed just such
an honest man for work as noor Nick could
do, he gave the place to the cobbler ; and
from that day there was enough and to spare
in the little home because of the simple
goodness shown to baby Minnie. 4
oo it s never time thrown away to do a
indness to anyone." savs Beckv often:
'for somehow you are always rewarded for
it If I had left the little lost beggars child
as I thought it, in the street and never stop
ped to care for it as I might have done in
such trouble where would Nick have been
and the children and me this night? Not
that I did anything but what a Christian
ought, but see how we were paid for it"
