moraiog, a score of years ago, when he foune
a little boy asleep in a crate on one of the
wharves.
He shook the crate, and a pair of brief,
black eyes opened and flashed upon his, with
a look of surprise and timid bashfulness. •
'Why do you sleep here?' inquired the
old man. _ _

'She is dead?
'So you have no home—no father, no

•Yes sir. I sell soap and matches, and
sleep here,

'Yes, sir.'
'Come along with me, I will take you to

and send you to schaol, if you prove to be
as I think you are, a good and a faithful
boy.'
As tCe old man said this, he dashed a tear
from his eye with, his coat sleeve, for the
hog was the very immage of his own sweet
child, who bad died a few years before.
Lit'ting the lad tenderly out of the crate, he
led him to his own pleasant home, where he
was washed and combed, and then dressed
in a suit of clothes formerly worn by the son
of the philanthropist.

DEATH FROM NUDE =A distr.(

A young lady had been in the ha

caused a hook to be placed in ti,
ber room; and she would fasten ber corset
strings to it to enable her to draw her cor - •
set tighter: She had done it so long with
impunity that sbe grew careless, and the
other day, in repeating the torture, she
threw herself too heavily on the strings, and
broke a blood vessel, from which she died
in a few. hours A sad commentary on at
ternpaog to make the form, from a mistaken
idea of beauty, different from what it natu
rally is.
' The Fort. Wayne Democrat tells of a
beau - tilt"), intelligent, amiable. facioating,
and'itomeniely wealthy young lady io that
city, who - carefully conceals the knowledge
of y her wealth, wears cheap clothes, and
works in a millinery -shop, waiting for , 'an

for herself alone.' There will not be .a mil
