"You'll be called for," sai 1 Ollci-r Mellen, touching his ha' ; 'Mil l it's much obliged I mu for youi' ;;iintuess, ma'am." To himself he added as ho turned ifYay: "It's a shunio fur tho likes of her to bo put iu this plaoe." There wero dozen of people seated on tho benches men, women nnd children some with heals bowod iu dejection, misery, sickuessor despair, others upright and delimit, many grown old iu ways of sin, other but beginning to taste of temptation. Into this company Mrs. Pettit walked, with her dear old face and guileless eyes. "Such a lot of poople lost I" Bbo thought iu wonder. "It's a mercy if they ull tind their friends before night." Sho touched a rnaa apoa tho arm who sat bnddled np beside her. "Arc jon siokf" she inquired, anxiously. Ths man raised a reddened, bloats J faced, and gazed unsteadily at her. "Yes," he said hnsklly, "sielt of life." A mist gathered in the old Jady's eyes. "I was once so, too," she said, sympathetically, "when my Eleanor was taken; but with the Lord's help I'm living it down. Maybe some body's dead belonging to you." "I'm dead to them," said the man, bitterly, sinking into his old position. Mr. IYttit was mystified ; but this was plainly a trouble that catnip can not resch a troublo of tho heart. "I'm sorry for you," she said, quaveringly, laying her quaiutly gloved hand upon his arm; "but whntever your trouble is, with the Lord's help you can livo it down." "102," said an officer, touching tho man ou the shoulder. Tho man rose to follow, hesitated, then held out a trembling hand. "With tho Lord's help, when I get out of thi I'll ry to live it down," ho sail, huskily. He look-'d at tho withered hand within his own a mo ment with twitching lips, then gently i laid it down and left the room. Dowu tho row of poor humanity , moved Mr. IYttit. (liuycr cookie ' caused baby eye to shine, nnd kiudly words dropped like rain upon arid hearts. Tho brown basket brought forth bunches of fragrant Juno pinks, clusters of rider blossom nu 1 pack age of marigold seeds. A bottle of homo made ordia! an I a dozen fresh eggs were put into the hand of a young womnn with hectic cheeks and a hollow cough, who held a wayward brother's hand anxiously iu her own. 'There won't be much left for John's wife," thought Mrs. IYttit, regret fully; "but dear kuow these pojr creatures need it." Two hours Inter tho doors s rung violently in, nnd mi exciiel group en tered.

"L icy," sai l another voice, winch soun led like I'.p'urai m'.s mulili.l with a featlnr bolster, "III never for jyji invself for losiug vo'i never."

"Hut, mother, such a charja nt your ago" began her son, "John," said Mri. IYttit, with tho solemnity of conviction, "it's tho Lord's call. They're sweet, handsoiuj little things mi I sueh a life as they'vj led? F.phraim, you don't object? Wo will call th . baby Elcauor, iu memory of our own."

"John, you're a lawyer; you cm tlx up the papers a tooti as you like." And so tho losing of Mr. IYttit, like tho wandering of a clear brook over parched inoa lows, leaving fresh uud grateful all behind, curried also ou its bosom to a harbor of safety two tender human souls.

The new woman is popularly sup posed to be a votnan of liberal educa tion and advanced ideas, a woman pre pared to maintain her rights and olsim her privileges, and mako and koep t fair standing-ground for her self iu whatever field she chooses to exploit hor convictions, or exert her abilities. She is ivipposod to look with a orUin disfavor on domesticity, to go abonfc with a chip on her shoul der among old-fashioned people who fancy that woman's natural sperei in the narrow world of home. The new woman, we learn incidentally, cares littlo for marriage, regarding it as an incident in life, but proudly holding herself abovf the old stupid notion that love and matrimony are cardinal points in tho destiny of her sex. She is said to be opposed to sac rificing herself on tho altar of child hood, and to look pitiful scorn on tho mother of half-dozen boys nud girls. Whatever a man may do, this product of fin do siecla fancy i slid to insist upou doing, setting her feet firmly down on the antiquated myths which onco obtained tho myth of tho right of tho weaker to protection by the stronger, of tho adoration of tho mother a the most blessed of all women on the earth, of tho queenly dignity of her who rules the home and keep alight the tire on the hearth.
