Selected Story.
THE THREE LOAVES.
The day was Utterly cold in Virginia
City, as winter days most generally are
in thai Alpine town, and though the
sun was bright, it wss as cheer lea and
chill almost as moon-beams. Wild
gusts whistled through the streets,
breathmg icicles sud front in their furi
ous course, and driviog every living
thing away to seek shelter from its
biting, (lenetrating breath. And yet
not every one was housed and shelter
ed from the pitiless gale, for be who
had work to do or business to transact
was summoned by inexorable duty to
come forth to his poet, or else, when
the day of reckoning came, abide by
the consequences; but with such ex
ceptions as these, the male population
generally sought the warm and friend
ly atiuosphete of the drinking saloons,
where with "hot Scotch" and a glowing
furnsce they managed to keep them
.skives front freezing. Of these luck I can
exceptions Abe Denning, the baker,
was one. In sunshine or storm, hail,
rain or snow, people must eat eat, in
fact, all the more vigorously been tine it
does hail or snow, as if to perpetrate an
unseasonable joke on the baker, who,
especially in appetising weather, must
see to it that his customers' larders be
properly stored with the best produc
tions of his even.
Kven such cold weather as this did
not deter Mr, Denning from attending
to the wants of his customers with the
assiduity and attention characteristic
of his class. While disappearing into
a customer 'a house with an armful of
bread, a girl of some fifteen years of
age emerged from a miner s cabin close
bv. and. first casting wild and hurried
Is . . m - -
m ance about her, rushed to the baker's
cart, and had just abstracted therefrom
three loaves of bread, and was carrying
tbem otT, when the baker returned ana
caught her in the act.
WT s .1 .1
lntoriuuaieiy an omoer was passing
ust at the time, and the baker, on the
spur of the moment, and without giv-
ng the case the consideration which hs
otherwise might, gave har into custody
en charge of theft. The- girl, without
attempt at expostulation or explana
tion, burst into an agony of tears, a
u the Hint evidence, perhaue, that she
was but a novice, after all, in the art of
stealing.
"Oh!" she exolaunod, "don't tk nttr
in this way. Let me wrap a shawl
around -my head, or the ucotdu will
know m."
The offioer, consenting, accempauied
her into the cabin, the baker having
driven away, telling the policeman ho
would be in court next day to prefer
the charge before the Police J udge.
The olncer on entering fonud no one
in the cabin bat three ohildren the
youngest about three years eld and the
eldest about six. The hut was cold
and cheerless; there was no fire. The
two eloer children, alarmed at the pres
ence of an officer, exhibited discolored
eyes and faces, which bore evidence of
suffering and resent tears, while little
Willie, the yenageet, was erring and
inappeasaluV, moping aimlessly around
the cabin, looking into the empty closet
and putting bis little bauds mechani
cally into the empty dtahae on the
table.
"What made you steal the bread, mv
girlf" asked the omoer.
At the mention of the word trend,
little Wiilie looked tearfully and pite-
eualy in the man's face. The girl hug
ged the little fellow frantically m br
aruitf, covering hun witb teat sud
kiWM.
Oh, v oor little brother ! ' she
cried bitterly. "What will become of
you nol i'uia man is going to take
your Ijena away with him.
Here the child threw his arms around
her seek, as if te detain her by force ;
while the other two children screamed
fit t 'oreak their hearts.
The officer, susirecting the real state
of affairs, began te eongh convuliiivJ$r,
but instead of applying his hand to his
ebest er throat, as most jpeuule do on
such occasions, he applied bis hand
kerchief to his eyes,
"Is there no coal, or nothing at all
to eat in the heuseT said he, in a gurg
ling sort of voice.
"No coal, no bread, nothing to eat,"
replied the girl, wringing her hands,
"and poor Willie and the rest of us have
had nothing to eat since yesterday
morning."
Here the officer had another hard fit
of eoughing, and went away saying that
he wonld be back agsin in a short
time.
"Is the msn going for bread f" asked
the oldest of the children.
"Hush, Mollie, dear," said Lena. "I
don't know what he has gene for.
He's not a bad man, anyhow, for be
hasn't arretted me, as I thought he
would."
Iu a rery few minute the officer re
turned with his arnig full qf bread and
groceries, not forgetting some cakes and
condiments tor the small children,
while another man at his heels carried
a big sack of coal on his bask.
At the sight of the bread the chil
dren screamed with delight, while the
ofticsr now laughed, now coughed, and
frequently applied his- handkerchief to
his face te wipe off the perspiration, as
It were.
While Lena cut ap large slices of
bread, and helped the children and her
self, the two men set at work and made
a large fire in the stove, the glow of
which soon sun used warmth and comfort
through the cabin. Then they cooked
the riaeat and made the tea, and spread
a steaming meal on the table for the
fpur orphans, while they carved and
attended to their wants until they were
fully satisfied.
Happy, happy childhood, whose pre
rogatives are innocenoe, mirth and io !
The ohildren after their dinner did not
look like the same ohildren at all. Their
faces were bright and joyous, happy
and handsome, and in a few minutes
they were playing and laughing and
romping, as happy as if they had never
felt the pangs of hunger.
"And now," said the officer, delight
ed at seeing the children so happy, "sit
down, lena, and answer intra fuw quea
tioiis. liavo you no fathiir or moth-
eiT
"We have no mother," wiim Lenaij
reply. She died about a yeer ng, and
father went to Kureku to work abeoJ,
eight mouths ngo, nud we baitt't Stew,
him evei since. '
"What is your fathers inuiifi '
"Dawson Jim Dawson."
"And he has sent you no money
nothing? '
"Nothing. Never heard of him
since he went away. Hut when h
was going he left ua a hag of ft ui and
lots of groceries and things -as much its
would last us six mouths, nnd IimM Ini
sure to he back before the provisions
were all out."
"And you have got no letter from
him at all?"
"Not one," replied lnn, with drop
sigh.
Poor Dawsqu hn l written to his chil
dren, however, I im pontul column
nication being at th -no very irregu
lar and uncertain iu Silver Bsata,
the children did not n . ive his letter.
"Well, I must go bow," aatd tbl i -Hi
cor after a pause, "but I will eull to
morrow nnd yon will hnve to nccompu
ny me to the police station, for 1 musf
do my duty, you know. (Jood-by."
And Lena Dawson was ' left alone
with her little brothers and sister. Slie
felt sad and lonesome after the depsrt
urs of her kind benefactor, but the
buoyancy of childhood soon guincd the
ascendancy, and before bedtime the or
phans were as happy as any group f
children in Virginia City.
Meantime the report abmt tlm steal
ing of the bread and the destitution of
the children got atoead. -Lai Dawson,
a miner hitnaelf, was well known and
popular among th miners, and the
case created much ay tnpsthy ami elicited
so many reminiscence nnd e m BM nt

After the transaction of some pre

"Judge, let the gal sli Bhe ain't

And poor Lena was once more the
recipient of another present.
The court held down his head hi m
smiled gravely at Wabbling Joe's de
fense ef the accused, but immediately
recovered his gravity, and said
'.'Gentlemen, I appreciate youi liber
ality and generous sympathy for the
young offender, and am particularly im

my friend Wabbling Joe, here a
good natured laugh escapod the whele
crowd, as if to pnt the judge In got d

of the accused, there is a public duty to
be performed, and the sase must there

' 'AWtat hi yqur name, my gil'l," asked
the court.
'They call mo Iona Dawson, sir,"
was the reply.
"(Jail you Lena Dawson! And I sup

"No sir, it aia t, returned the girl,
"my father died when I wus ouly three
years old, and my mother married Mr.
Dawson some time afterward. My

they call me Lena or short.
"Madaline Winters! Whore were

before, "And what was your (author's

"Madaline Moses, sir, responded

Lena.
"Madaline Moses! My

And Judge Moses, overcome with
emotion, bowed his head to the desk
while a torrent ef tears flowed down
his face.

Mcf'lellaii, a great urn le of (5er. (lCo.
li. McClellan.
For many years it was one of the
curiosities of l he town of Woodstock,
Conn., the early home of the McClellari
family. The narrator's fatlur, who
saw it frequently when a boy, nays it
was nigh thirty two feet in length by
three in breadth. The lnm sere of
squared eight-inch ItSBDar, with studs
to uiHtch, and the "shoe," r runners,
wore over a feat in width. For draw
ing it there were two "tongues," or
sjes, in the forward end.
It was never use) save on one spe
cinl oecasioti, when the t?ain consisted
-f fifteen yoke of oxen.
The story of ' its origin is as follows :
In the parish where '."juire McCiel
in. resi-.lej j vrn tho tm'tom. every
winter for such of the men as had wood
lots to give the parson a cord of hick
ory wood each, and thus make uj to
him a winter'a supply of find. The
'.Spiire, in particuiar,-wa always pans
tuai in December with bis cord of nic-ly-prerared
hickory.
n that parish there was a man who
had the leput alien of being "snug,"
niggardly, and apt to shirk his due
share of the burden of (raying the min
ister. Indeed, his remissness in this
matter had Ireen a standing grievance
in ho place for many years.
One autumn there wan a revival of
religious interest in the place, and many
members of the church were stimulated
to earnest labor, and to live more strict
ly. Among these was the penurious
man above alluded to, whom we may
con veniently designate as IJro. Z .
Not a little to the astonish mcnt of
bis neighbors, who had had ample ex
poHotsoo of his miserly dealing, heurose
in prayer meeting one night, and ex
hotted to lils ral giving, not only to the
pnrson, but io all Irene volent objects.
Waxing tort earnest in language and
, torn-, he deelared, among other things,
mat ira woui.i that winter give the min
ister s load of wood. "Yea, brethren,"
he exclsimed, 'the Lord has opened my
heert I will give him s load of wood,
and a big one. I will give him the
Mtopet load you rsn draw from my
woods to his vard !"
' Truly,' said Venire McClellan at
the deacons' meeting, " the Lord must
h-ve Ofsessssl Bro. 'A 'a heart ; but,"
be added, with characteristic Scotch
loom dues, "t may noon close, and
ssaj ssswas open again. It behooves
us, in the laiiron's interest, to avsil

that will carry ten cords, and do it at
