Thirty years ago, an old house was stand

frontage or five small 'windows - . It was the

ground floor was occupied by tw•o old people,
a shoemaker and his wife The upper story
which was usually let to . ludgertr, was empty
at the time we write of. Two, however,
copied the garret. - The evening was cold and
wet, and the shoemaker and his witemere sit

it, and I. was up again ar threti, she was asleep
then, and at five she said she should not want
anything more."
•• Poor lady! This time of year, and neither
firs; nor Walla clothes, and not even a decent
bed to' lie on ; and yet I am stare she is some
body or other. Have you noticed the respect

fault. That ring she wea' son her tingerwould
