POORHOUSE to pAL ACE
iBY MARY J. HOLMES J
GHAFTBU X.
It was beginning to be daylight In the
city of Boston, mid as thu gray cast
gradually brightened and grew red In the
coming day, a young man looked out upon
the busy world around him with that
feeling of utter loneliness which one so
often feels In a great city where nil Is
now and strango to him. Scarcely four
weeks hnd passed, since the notes of a
f tolling bell had fatten sadly upon his car,
and ho had looked Into a gravo whore
they laid his mother to her last dream
less rest.' A nrevalllnir fevdr had effect
ed what tho' fancied ailments ofj years
had failed io do, and Hilly Bender was
now an orphan and alone lu the wide
world. Ho knew that lib had his own
fortune to make,, nnd after; settling Ills
mother's affairs 'and finding; there was
nothing left for h'lni, he had come 'to' tho
city, and on this morning went forth
alone to, look for employment, with no
other recommendation ttiatiit the frank,
honest 'expression of lls handsome face.
"It was foolish In mo to attempt it,"
thought be,, as ho stopped In front of a
large wholesale establishment. Ills cyo
caught the sign on which was lettered
"II. J. Scldcn & Go." The name sound
ed familiar, and sonic t fling whispered to
him to enter. lie did so, and meeting in
tho doorway a tall, elegant looking young
man, he nuked for uMr.'Selden.
"My uncle," returned the gentleman,
who was none other than George More
land, '"has not yet come down, but per
haps I can answer your purpose Just as
well. Do you wish to purchase goods'"
Billy, thinking that uvcryono must
know his poverty, fancied there was
something satirical in tho question, but
he was mistaken; the manner was nat
ural to thu speaker, who, as Billy nindo
no direct reply, again asked: "What
would you like, slrV"
"Something to do; for I have neither
money nor home," was Billy's prompt an
swer. "Will you give me your name?" asked
George.
Billy compiled, and when he spoke of
his native town George repeated It after
him, saying: "I have some acquaintances
who spend the summer in Chicopec; but
you probably have never known them."
Immediately Billy thought of tho Lin
coins, and now knew why tho nanio of
Seldcn seemed so fumlllar. Ho had heard
Jenny speak of Ida, and felt certain that
II. J. Selden was her father.
For a moment George regarded him In
tently, and then said: "Wo seldom em
ploy strangers without a recommenda
tion; still, I do not believe you need any.
My undo Is wanting a young man, but
tho work may hardly suit you," ho added,
naming tho duties ho would be expected
to perform, which certainly were rather
menial. Still, as tho wages were liberul,
Billy for want of a better, accepted the
situation, and was Immediately Introduc
ed to his business. For somo time ho
only saw George at a. distance, but was
told by ono of tho clerks that ho was
just graduated at Yalv', and was now a
junior partner In his uncle's establish
ment "We all like him very much," said the
clerk, "he Is so pleasaut aud kind, though
a little proud, I guess."
This was all that Billy knew of him un
til ho had been in Mr. Selden's employ
ment nearly three weeks; then, as ho was
one day poring over a volume of Horace
which ho had brought with him, George,
who chanced to pass by, looked over his
shoulder, exclaiming, "Why, Bender, can
you read Latin? Really, this Is a nov
elty. Aro you fond of books?"
"Yes, very," said Billy, "though I have
but a few of my own."
"Fortunately, then, I can accommodate
you," returned George, "for I have a tol
erably good library, to which you can at
any time have access. Suppose you como
round to my uncle's to-night. Never
mind about thanking me," be added, as
he saw Billy about to speak; "I hato to
be thanked, so to-nlgbt, at eight o'clock,
I shall expect you."
Accordingly, that evening Billy started
for Mr. Selden's. George, who wished to
save him from any embarrassment, an
swered hla ring himself, and immediately
conducted blm to bis room, where for uu
hour or so they discussed their favorite
books and authors. At last, George, as
tonished at Billy's general knowledge of
men and things, exclaimed, "Why, Ben
der, I do believe you aro almost as good
a scholar as I, who have been through
college. Tray, how does It happen?"
Iu a few words Billy explained that he
bad been In tho habit of working sum
mers and going to school at Wilbraham
winters; and then, as It was nearly ten,
he hastily gathered up the books which
George had kindly loaned him and took
bis leave. As bo was descending the
broad stairway be met a young girl fash
ionably dressed, who stared at blm la
some surprise. In the upper ball she en
countered George, and asked him who the
stranger was.
"His name Is Bender and he came from
Chlcopee," answered George.
"Bender from Chlcopee!" repeated Ida.
"Why, I wonder if It Isn't the Billy Ben
der about whom Jenny Lincoln has gone
almost mad."
"I think not," returned her cousin, "for
Mrs. Lincoln would hardly suffer her
daughter to mention a poor boy's name,
much less to go mad about him."
"But," answered Ida, "he worked on
Mr, Lincoln's farm when Jenny was a
little girl; and now that she is older she
talks of him nearly all tho time, and
Itose says it would not surprise her if she
should some day run off with him."
"Possibly it Is the same," returned
George. "Anyway, be is very fine look
ing, and a fine fellow, too, besides being
an excellent scholar."
The next day, when Billy chanced to be
alone, George approached blm, and after
making some casual remarks about the
books he bad borrowed, etc., he said,
"Did you ever see Jenny Lincoln in Chlc
opee?" "Oh, yes," answered Billy, brightening
up, for Jenny bad always been, and still
was, a great favorlto with blm; "Oh.
yes, I know Jenny very well. I worked
J for her father some years ago, and be
came greatly Interested In her."
"Indeed? Then you must know Hen
ry Lincoln?"
"Yes, I know him." said Billy; while
George continued:
"And think but little of blm, of
course?"
On this Biibject Billy was non-committal.
He had no cause for liking Henry,
but would not say so to a comparative
stranger. George was about movlug nway
when, observing a little, old-fashioned
book lying upon ono of the boxes, he took
It up and, turnlug to the (ly-lcaf, read thu
name of "Frank Howard."
"Frank Howard 1 Frunk Howard 1" he
repeated; "where havo I heard that
jiame? Who is he, Bender?"
"He was a little English boy I onco
loved very much; but he Is dead now," an
swered Billy; and George, with a sud
denly awakened curiosity, said:
"Tell ma about him and his family,
will you?"
Without dreaming that George bad
ever seen them, Billy told thoxitory of
Frank's sickness and death of tho noble
conduct of his littlo sister, who, when
thero was no other alternative, went
cheerfully to the poorhouse, winning by
her gentle ways the love of thoso unused
to love, and taming the wild mood of a
maniac until she was harmless as a child,
As he proceeded with his story George
became each moment more and more In
terested, and when at last thero was a
pause, he asked, "Aud Is Mary in the
poorhouse now?"
"I have not mentioned her name, nnd
pray how came you to know It?" said
Billy iu some surprise.
In a few words George related tho par
ticulars of his acquaintance with tho
Howards and then again asked where
both Mary and Ella were.
Billy replied that for a few years back
Mary had lived with a Mrs. Mason,
while Ella, nt tho time of her mother's
death, had been adopted by Mrs. Camp
bell. "But," said he, "I never think of
Ella In connection with Mary, they arc so
unlike; Ella Is proud nnd vain nnd silly,
and treats her sister with the utmost
rudeness, though Mury Is far more agree
able and intelligent, nnd as I think tho
best looking."
"Sho must have changed very much,"
answered George, "for If I remember
rightly she was uot remarkable for per
gonal beauty."
Ho, was going to say more, when some
one slapped lihn rudely on tho shoulder,
calling out, "How are you, old feller, and
what is thero in Boston to Interest euch
a scapegraco as I am?"
Looking up, Billy saw beforo blm Hen
ry Lincoln, exquisitely dressed, but bear
lug in his appearance evident marks of
dissipation.
"Why, Henry," exclaimed George,
"how came you here? I supposed you
wero drawing lampblack caricatures of
some ono of tho tutors in old Yale.
What's the matter? What have you been
doing?"
"Why, you see," answered Henry,
drawing his cigar from his mouth, "ono
of tho sophs got his arm broken in a row,
and as I am so tender-hearted, nnd
couldn't bear to hear him groan, tho fac
ulty kindly advised me to leave, and sent
on before mo a recommendation to the
old man. But I fixed 'em. I told 'em ho
was In Boston, whereas he's In Chlcopee,
so I just took the letter from the oftlcu
myself. It reads beautifully. Do you
understand?"
All this time Henry had apparently
taken uo notice of Billy, whom Georgo
now Introduced, saying ho believed they
wero old acquaintances. With tho cool
est effrontery Henry took from his pocket
a quizzing glass, and, applying It to his
eye, said, "I've absolutely studied uutll
I'm near-sighted. How long havo Xhi old
folks been iu Chlcopee?"
"Several weeks, I think," answered
Georgo; aud then, either because he want
ed to hear what Henry "would say, or
because of a reawakened Interest In Mary
Howard, ho continued, "By tho way,
Henry, when you came so unceremoni
ously upou us, we wero speaklug of a
young girl In Chlcopee whom you have
perhaps ferreted out ere this, as Beu
tier says sho Is fine looking,"
Henry stroked his whiskers, which had
recclxed fur more cultivation than his
brains, stuck bis hat on one sldo and
answered, "Why, yes, I suppose that lu
my way I was something of a b'boy with
the fair sex, but really I do not now
think of more than one handsome girl
in Chlcopee, and that Is Ella Campbell,
but she is young yet, not as old as Jcnuy
altogether too small fry for Henry Lin
coln, Esq. But who Is the girl?"
Billy frowned, for he held Mary's name
as too sacred to be breathed by a young
man of Henry Lincoln's character, while
George replied:
"Her name Is Mary Howard."
"What, tho pauper?" asked Henry,
looking significantly at Billy, who replied:
"The same, sir."
"Whew-w!" whistled Henry, prolong
ing the diphthong to an unusual length.
"Why, she's got two teeth at least a foot
loug, and her face looks as though she
bad just been in the vinegar barrel aud
didn't like the taste of It."
"But, without joking, though, how
does sho look?" asked George; while
Billy made a movement ns if ho would
help the Insolent puppy to fiud his level.
"Well, now, old boy," returned Henry,
"I'll tell you honestly that the last time
I saw her I was surprised to find bow
much she was improved. She has swal
lowed those abominable teeth, or doue'
something with them, and is really quite
decent looking."
So saying he took his leave. Just then
there was a call for Mr. Moreland, who
also departed, leaving Billy aloue. "It
is very strango that she never told me
she knew him," thought he; and then tak
ing from bis pocket a neatly folded letter,
he again read it through. But there was
nothing In It about George, except the
simple words, "I am glad you have fouud
a friend la Mr. Morelaud. I am sure I
should like him, just because be is kind
to you." "
"Yes, she's forgotten htm," said BlUy.
and that belief gave him secret satisfac
tion. He had knowu Mary Inns, and
the Interest be had felt In her when a
homely, neglected child, had uot lu the
least decreased ns the lapse of time grad
ually ripened her Into a tine. Intelligent
looking glrh He was to her a brother
still, but sho to blm was dearer fur than
a sister; and though lu his letters he al
ways addressed her as such, In his heart
he claimed her as something nearer, and
yet he had never breathed lu her ear a
word of love or hinted that it was Tor her
sake he tolled both early and late, hoard
ing up his earnings with almost a mlser'i
care that she might bo educated.
ltegularly each week she wrote to him,
and It was the receipt of these letters
and the thoughts or her that kept his
heart so brave and cheerful, as, alomi
nnd unappreciated, except by George, he
worked on, dreaming of a bright future
when the one gieut object of his life
should bu realized.

CARE OF THt EYES.
MnchTronble and Buffering May Kaally
' Ho A vol. e .
Nowhere Is thu comparison between
mi ounce of prevention uud u pound of
euro more applicable than In the care
of the eyes; for the neglect of seeming
ly trivial affections, perfectly curable
lu their beginnings, tuny lead In uu In
credibly abort tlnio to permanent lm
pnlnuetit of vision, or even to total
blindness. 'The care of the eyes shoUu'
begju with the moment of birth. Tho
new baby's eyes should bo the first,
part to receive attention. "They should
be wiped carefully with n piece of ab
sorbent cotton wet with a. warm solu
tion of boric acid, of a strength of
about sixty grains lu four ounces of
distilled water. Arter the lids havo
been thus carefully washed on the out
side they should bo gently separated
and' some of thu solution dropped Into
the eyes.
In washing the eyes one should bo
careful never to dip again In, the solu
tion a piece of cotton which has onco
been used; n fresh plecp must be tpkeu
each time tho eyes are wiped.
The baby's eyes must bo protected
from the light; Its crib should bo placed
where the eyes are not exposed to tho
full light from a window, and tho car
riage should have a shade raised only
about a fqot above the baby's head.
Children often suffer from Influmma
tlon of the edges of the lids, which aro
red and scaly, uud thu lashes fall out
and break off. This may betoken a
general scrofulous condition, or It may
depend upon some defect lu the sight
which causes eye-strain, or It may bo
only a local trouble. If It Is only a local
trouble, a few applications of boric
ncld ointment at bedtime will gener
ally effect n cure.
Conjunctivitis, or Inflammation of tho
membrane covering the globe of tho
eye, may bo.duc to a cold, to the action
of bright sunlight or reflection from
water or from snow, or to eye-strain
from some visual Imperfection. Usu
ally the boric acid solution will glvo
relief here, even when the trouble can
not be permanently cured until proper
glasses are worn.
Another painful consequence of eye
strain Is n succession of sties. When
a child suffers frequently from ntles,
from sore lids, or from conjunctivitis,
the sight should be tested.
Much barm Is often done to the eyes,
as well as to the general health, by
too long application to books, either
school or story-books. Three hours of
looking nt print by dnyllght and ono
hour lu the evening, should not bo ex
ceeded by nuy child under 14, for that
Is ns much as his eyes, eren If their
vision Is perfectly normal, will stand
without Injury. Youth's Companion.
Tlio Pickles T.ost.
There had been an epidemic of
mumps In Denver, nnd every afternoon
brought to tho hearth department a
number of children seeking permission
to return to school. Sometimes no doc
tor was present, and they had to wait.
So, says tho Republican, Dr. Carl In de
vised a menns by which bis secretary,
Miss Currlgan, might test tho appli
cants. "Pickles are the thing," said Dr. Car
lln. "If a person with the slightest
trace of Inflammation In the thyroid
glands tnkes a bite of anything sharply
sour, tho face Is lustniitly contorted.
In extreme cases the pain Is extreme."
So a bottle of mixed pickles was add
ed to the pharmacopoeia of the otllce.
Now. when there Is no doctor In the
otllce. Miss Currlgan lines up tho appli
cants for certificates and goes down
tho line with the bottle of pickles. If
the child tnkes the pickle and smiles
as a healthy child should, he may go
back to school again; but if ho scowls
In pain ho Is condemned to stay at
home.

Scene at a Camp Meeting Ilurlb the
Cliurlctton Kurthqunke.
"Thero !s something very uncanny
about an earthquake shock," said a gen

continued, "caused by the quivering

people to come forward, but his ap
peals fell on deaf ears. Back some

"The minister seemed to be discour
aged by the coldness of his hearers,
aud was on the point of closing, the
service. But jUBt as ho wub about to
Bay 'let us pray,' the first slight Bhock
was felt. In nu Instant everybody un
der that stand became as still as death
itself. Faces blanched and eyes wero
opened wide in terror. No one at first
seemed to realise what had caused
the earth to rock as If, in a spasm.
With tho coming of the uext shock,
however, somo rcullecd what it meant,
and the cry of 'earthquake' was heard.
"Hardly had the dread word been
uttered when there was a rush for tho
mourners' bench. I never saw bucIi u
stampede In my life. In less tlmo
than It takes io write the altar was
surrounded by hundreds who wero
dazed by terror and crying on the Lord
for meti.'y. A third shock came while
thos frightened people wero nt tho

of them Into convulsions.
"The minister was the only ono who
seemed uot to bu frlghteued, and ho
began praying lu tones thnt had a
quieting effect on the people. But It
was hours before calm was restored
nnd fear banished. The quivering of
tho earth had something so uncanny
about It that the people were, ready
to believe that the end of time was
