He Unci been reacting a letti-r when I entered, mid beyond a sirii)le salutatkm noth ing fns said until lie had folded the missive Mid laid it aside. His eyes were moist as lie fluislied the pernsnl, and he wiped them with his handker chief. Then he got up and shook me warmly by the liand. and alter a lew passages of friendly Lanier, he said to me : " Sit down, old fellow : I've got a story for yon." And he laid hU hand tiK)ii t!ie letter which he had been reading. " I won't bore you. It's a simple sketch, and the coloring yon can put in for yourself.'' I seated myself, and the Doctor told mens follows: " Twelve years ago I was called to the Police Court to give my testimony concerning ihe result of a ptmUmoHem of tlie body ot a man who hail been killed in a street brawl. This case having been disposed of, I took a seat, within the bar to watch (he wheel of justice revolve upon other cases. Tliey came up from the prisoners' dock, one by one the old. the miUflie-ogeil. and the young representatives of nil de gree's of crin.e and degradation, and 1 Wondered, as 1 saw thrin passed oil' to punishment, how many of the poor creatures had been absolutely born to a life of shame ; how many had been led thereto by surrounding circumstan ces and influences over which they had no control ; and how many might have fallen from a better estate through criminal choice. At all events, I coiud not put away the conviction that here was a field for mlssionfry effort. But never mind ray moralizing. Only suf fer me to say, that after 1 had mental ly fired a shot at what I conceived to lie misdirected missionary effort, tlie thought forced itself upon me, 'What have done in the way of this redemp tion ?' And I concluded that I had better wait until I had redeemed my self from iiwiUUm before I blamed otliers for misdirection of action. " I had just Missed this reproof upon myself when it prisoner stepped up from the dock who iBratTtlflrly attract ed my attention. It "was a boy, not more than fourteen years of age, and rattier small at that. He was light ol frame, and, I thought, slightly Under sized ; but every Inch ot him was fine ly strung and firmly set. and his form was beauty itself. 'llisface was (bin and pftle, ami bis features of a clear Grecian cut. I saw him first in pro file, and as his wavy hair, of a sunny hue, straggling into ringlets here anil there, s wept back trom tifai full brow. I thought I had never seen a more tempting study. When he turned bis fu'e toward me I saw a pair of large bine eyes, and found that tlie view thus obtained of his features was equal ly Interesting with the other. His clothes were nigged, imt not dirty, and there was no dirt itM)ii his hands hot upon his face. This struck Hie forc ibly, because most of those who bad come up from the prison-cell had come bleared and grimed. lie answered to tlie name of Dick l'rintle, and was up for petty larceny: and the officer who presented him mild Ibis was the third lime he had been up for like offending. The .lodge nodded grimly, for he himself recognized the lad as one who bad lieforc pcisSed under his sentence. The boy could not plead innocence, for he had lieeu caught in Ihe verv net of nllferhnr : and he ac knowledged his guilt. The .lodge's I brow w;is black with judicial thunder; I but he did not deem it worth while to vent much of it upon so insignificant an abject. ".So! This is the third' time!' he said. The boy started and trembled, and I thought he tried to speak ; but the awful voice of power sounded again, 'You'll come to the gallows, sir ' do yon know that ? You are in corrigible ! Haven't you had enough of prison life yet ?' "The boy's trembling ceased, and be looketl defiant. He stood erect, his blue eyes flashed, and his finely cut nostrels were distended. " By this time I had called to mind where and when, on a former occasion, I had seen that same boy. I had been called to his motlier's death-bed three years before. I remcinlicred the name Printle and I rememliered the curly-headed Isty who had lield her failing baud. And I remembered that I had then heard tlie dving womtu's story, tier husband hail once been captain of a ship, and accounted a seaman of the very first class ; but mm had broken him down, and cast him, a complete wreck, upon a dark shore. .She had suffered more ttmu she could b II. had sunk to t he sorrowful level where I had found tier and was only too glad to die. And, dying, she hail left her boy tlie Inmate of a den of triini- im!s ; and, in her obliviousness of spir it consequent iiKn a long suffering wherein only these children of night bail lieen her friends, she looked thank fully tiMin the keeper of the den when he promised to be a friend to the boy. "I thought of all this while the piisoner stood at the bur. nnd before the sentence had been pronounced I stepped over and touched the clerk of the court upon tlie arm. and told him that I would like to have that boy placed in niv clmrge lor a month. 'It le clerk whispered to the judge, and the judge beckoned to me. I went to hint, ana he told me that he feared it would lie of no use. 'The little rascal is ut terly incorrigible,' said he. 'This is the third time within the year that he has been up for stealing.' " I looked at the little fellow, and as I marked the finely cut lines of the handsome face, now so defiantly set, I thought to myself that if he were suf feredtogrow up into a manhood of crime he would give society trouble. He would play no second part hi the drama ol life, were it. to be fair or foul. And I whispered to the judge my thoughts. He had been a class-male ot mine in college, and was willing to please me; and the sentence which, a few moments before, had waited upon his lips, was suspended, and the boy was placed under bonds in the sum of fifty dollars which bond required that he should appear again in court at the expiration of one month. It was not my purpose to bail iiim out at that time, and the little fellow seemed slightly bewildered when tlie officer sent him hack into the dock ; and be may have been more bewildered still when he found himself consigned to the jail Instead ot being sent to the penitentiary. " Oil the' following day 1 went down to the jail, With all order from the sheriff, nnd was admitted to the boy's cell. His face brightened when he saw me. nnd in that instant I saw, as by inspiration, the latent goodness of the poor waif. I sat down, and called him by name, and asked him if lie remembered me. " He remembered me very well as the doctor who had been called to his mother's dying-bed. 'Well,' said I, ! would have helped yotw mother then bad it been in uy jiower ; and I have come now to help yon it you will let me.' "lie caught my hand, and looked I up into my face ; and he asked me i what I meant. "Of course,' said he, ! 'I will let you help me.' " 'But,' said I, 'will you help mcT "He looked at me again In the Slime wondering way. 'Will yon help mo to help you?' I asked. "He caught my meaning. 'OP he cried, 'will you give me a chance ?' " I told him that was what I had come tor. '"I have never had a chance,' he said. 'Ever since I can remember I have been down in the mud and the dirt, and those that wear fine clothes have shunned me; the officers have kicked me; and only thieves and pick- j lockets have been good to me. O, tl . I could only have a chance?" " 'You have been punished fordoing wrong?' I queried. " 'Yes sir.' lie said. '1 was sent to the penitentiary.' " 'Hut it didn't seem to do you any good. "How could it?' he asked, with utter simplicity. '1 was treated like a little Wretch while i was there, and when I came out I was kicked back Into tlie old path. What chnnoo was there for me to be better. Give me a chalice, and see.' After talking with the boy a while, and satisfying myself that his very soul yearned for a better life, 1 told him to make himself comfortable and contented where he was until he saw me again. I made him understand that if he came out he must come upon my responsibility, and that I only wanted time to find a suitable starting point for him hi the new sphere. There was no wild burst of thanks, no gushing of sentiment or promise. He took both my hands, and looked up with a solemn, earnest look, and with a tear starting from either eye, lie sald.- "Give me a chance. Doctor a Chance where I can hold my own with people and If I fail you 1 will never ask help again." "I promised that I would try, and (hen I left him. I bad a dear friend living away in the country a true Christian man, who had a line Christian wife a couple who preached their Christianity by IMng it, and who prayed with strong hands and tender hearts. I wi-ote to my friend, and told him the whole story, and lie wrote back for me to send the boy to him. Then I wont down to the jail, and when Dick look ed up into my face, ho clasped his hands over his eyes and broke out into sobbingancl weeping. My first thought was to comfort him with assurance of coming good ; but he stopped me. " I Know ! I know !' he cried, 'I see it in your face. I saw you smile, and I knew you had come to help me. 0 .' I never," never saw that smile before.1 " On that day I took Dick l'rintle from the jail, and carried him to my own house, where I gave him new clol lies, and wliere my wife and daugh ters were kind to him. On the day following, as I needed recreation, I went wiili him into the country, and introduced him to my friend, where ho was at once taken to a comfortable home, and to tender, loving hearts. "That was twelve years ago. To day tho waif which I rescued from the maelstrom of vice the brand which I plucked from the burning is an or nament to the society hi which he moves, and that society is of the very liesf. He says it was from reverence of me that the idea came to him of being a physician ; but no matter whence came the thought, the medical profession gained a grand accession when he received his diploma, and suffering humanity gained a true and able helper. He found a wife in the daughter of the matt to whose wire l consigned him; and he has found friends everywhere, in this letter ho tells me that a second child has heeu born to him, the first was a girl, this is a boy. nnd he asks me if he may give it my name ; and asks furth er, "that I will "bring him my answer in person. " 'Come.' he writes, 'and take k peep into the heaven we owe to yon. Come anil make our heaven brighter still by the presence of one whom we love "so deeply and so devotedly Come' " But never mind the rest. It was only meant for my eye. "And von will go? said L " Yes." said thedoctor. "It always does me good to see that man. My heart warms beneath his cheerful smile, and my faith in humanity gains new strength from the grandeur of his later lile.'5 h A Ileiunrknlilc Masonic Incident. The first Masonic funeral that ever occurred hi California took place In the year i$4B, and was performed over the body of a brother found In the bay of Ban Francisco. An account of the ceremony state that on the body ol the deceased was found a silver mark of a Mason, upon which was engraved the initials of his name. A little further Investigation, revealed to the boholderthe most singu lar exhibition of Masonic emblems that was ever drawn by the Ingenuity ol man upon the human skin. There is nothing in the traditions of Free masonry equal to it. Beautifully dot ted on his left arm. in red nnd blue ink. which lime could not efface, ap peared all the emblems of an entered apprenticeship. There was tlie Holy Binle. the square and compass, the twenty-four inch gauge and common gavel. There was also the Masonie livemetit, representing the ground floor of King Soloman's Temple, the indented lassel w hich surrounds it and the blazing star in the cent re. On his right arm and artistically executed in the same indellible liquid, were the emblems pertaining to tlie fellow craft degree, viz., ihe square, the level and the plumb. There were also live or ders of architecture Ihe Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Compos ite. In removing the garments from his body the trowel presented itself with all the other tools of operative mnsson ary. Over his heart was ihe pot of incense, till the Other parts of bis body were the beehive, the "Book of Constitutions '' guarded by the Tyler' sword, the sword (Hjiutiiig to .a naked heart ; the All-seeing eye, the anchor and ark, the hour-glass, the cytlw tlie 42d problem of Kuclid, the Sun, Moon, Stars and Comet, the three steps em blematic ot youth, manhood and age. Admirably executed was the weeping virgin, reclining upon tl broken column upon which lay ihe " Book of Con stitutions.'' In her left hand she held the pot. of incense the Masonic emblem of Immortality of the soul. Imme diati ly beneath her stood winged Time, with his scythe by his side, which cut tlie brittle thread of life, and Ihe hour glass at his feet, which is ever remind ing us that our lives are witliering away. The withered and attenuated lingers of the Destroyer were placed among tlie long nnd gracefully flowing ringlets of the disconsolate "mourner. Thus were the stirring emblems of mortality beautifully bicuuud in one pictorial representation. It was a spectacle such as Masons never saw before, and in all probability such as the fraternity will never witness again. The brother's name was never known.
