KITTIES IN A JUNKSHOP. They Are Old gewlna; Machines That Are Bought for "Got any kitties?" Tbvi junk dealer looked startled, for the question betokened an intimate knowledge of the Jargon of his kind. "Why, yes, I guess so, " be responded when ho conld get bis breath. What the buyer meant was an old sewing ma chlue which oould be tnrmjd in to the sewing machine company as part pay me.ut on a new machine. The company allows fa on an old machine, and some times the agent or canvasser allows 5 more out of his commissdon on the sale. The publio iinagiues that lu some way those old machines are valuable to the comptmy, but, in truth, tbey are of ore ouly its argument in forcing a sale. In tho standard uiukes of machines there is supinsed to be absolutely no cut ia prima, and tbo only way thut a seeming redactsou can be made is by taking ia an old mucbine and allowing for it. The company does this not for the mbe of gottiug the niuohiue, but for the suite of malting a trnds. Once the old timer is in their poKMiwion it is broken npstud sold lo a junk denlur. Tbo compnuieti.know, of course, (that a large number ot the families who turn in old uiaekiues said to have tiueu bought by them "before the flood really conn) from the secondhand store and cot only $1. At this rate the buyer gets antuiowauce of flu, which, deducting theft, leaves net $9. If there doea bap- poo to be an old one in the possession of the luniily, the whole f 10 la realized.

The quaiut old English church poet George Herbunt was walkiug to Salis bury one evening to join a musical par ty when be mot a poor man with a poorer horse that had fallen under bis load. They were both in distress, and Mr. Herbert pulled off bis coat an'd hoiped the inun o unload bis horse. He thou guve him some money aud left him. At his nt rivina at Kuliuhiirv hiu frionda wondered at bis coming into their company o soiled and discom posed. He expluined the cause, and when one remarked that be had dis paraged himself Jhy so dirty an employ incut he uuswurod that the thought of whut he bud daue would prove niusiu to hiin at miduigbt end that the omission of it would buve upbraided and uiade disoerd in his conscience. "For if lam bound to pray for oil that be in distress so fur as it is in my power 1 tun to prac tice what I pray Xor, and, lot me tell yon, I would not willingly pass one day of my life without comforting a aad soul or showing mercy, and 1 bless Clod for this occasion.

Her I'atbetle Contrast. It m not in ithe saying of pungent tilings or even witty things thut ohil dren become lutorastiug, und this is why so eflxiu the glimpses of children wo haveiven us are do nuHatisfaotory. It ia (tie uueiHUce ol things thut have a heart of pathos that makes the talk of little ones so wonderful. A lady standing between two beds at a children's hospital not long ago upon the occasion of a small feast opened con versation with one of the patients by aayiuif: " What have you had, dear?" "The pleurisy, nut'am," came the answer. "Ana! what has this little girl bad?" "She's hud cake, ma'am." This may be the sort of .thing you smile at while your throat tightens, but if you are a womun the heart of love in you is taken captive. New York Lod ger. A GeAsaad.
