BUT TWO PICTURES ,
These are but two pictures,:both to the life,
and full of human teachings. Tft little house;
close to the street in a pier quarter of the, city,
was old and shackly ten years ago, yesterday
when a bit of,black ribbon, hung oh the latch,
and told in alma° way that death was there.
Little children went by on tip-the and with ba
ted breath, whispered,'"old Aunt ' Kate is clead."
True, and truer to nature even, was 'the query
of these, children, "what'll crippled Annie do
now." Crippled Annie ;' a fair-haired, brown
eyed child of nine years, who had been a criP
ple from Wee baby-hood; may . able to move
slowly on her little crutches . within the narrow
circle of the one small room. Crippledi Annie,
with a tender, pleading face, watching the
children at play from the 7indow - , never once
knowing a 'lament free from pain. A sweet
child face, that won' its way lath the hearts of
those who daily pass, and of the children, who
played their games: of romp, within sight of
that window, to make this crippled child hap
pier. And day alter day Tim 31acca i be, the
newsboy and bootblack, had brought this little
child ; snmething ; a rose, l or a piC i ture paper,
sontetimes an orange. And 'now Aunt; Kate
was gone and the crippled child was alone.=
The authorities consulted, and as she was with
out relations, they deeme it best to send her
to the poor house: Thu was there'and listen . -
ed until the word poor house was mentioned.- - -
Tinf was but thirteen then, but he was a brave
warm-hearted boy, and his nature revolted at
the idea of sending the crippled child to the
poor house, and lie ' told them that ."Annie','.
didn't want to go to the poor house, and that
"she shouldn't as long as lip could earn a pen
ny." He asked the child 'an. the 'presence of
these, men if she would stay and trust toJrim,
and there was a Emile upon the tired, pain
stricken face as her little hand found its way
into Tim's, and she said, "Tim ill take care of
me." And so it was settled that he should try.
Tim bad never had much but the hard lines of
an orphan's life himself. ,Ho had never once
Stood within the walls .of a chuch, and heard
all the grand things of relieon, of charity., of
i•
the great friend of man. But he, had a brave
human Soul, a rough diamond heart, full of
human kindness and lovi ag human sympathy,
and he accepted this crippled child's care', .be
cause,'ne Was alone in thz world.
And so day • after -day; month after-. month
Tim worked for her. BY : and liy lie learned a
trade, doing odd jobs,. When tree-from his-oth
er work, to earn money for 4s crippled-Annie.
As she . grew older she gsined strength, and
could accomplish ..somethitg , herself, and' , thik,
these two, almost onknoWni to . the. outside
i i r
world, toiled on: - Would it e strange,' reader,
that there shOuld come tro" such is compan.- -
.iunship, a love that - :was p and true. and
good ? No'; nor need it be bought strange
that, yesterday the preacher siti,. the words that
made Tim and- Annie .man ' iiid wife ? , 'And'
this is true, every word of it.---Rxhester Uniefz,
