THE FIRST. It was only a very tiny, dirty scrap of paper, and the ragged lad who was standing undr a gas-lamp to decipher the words writ ten npon it, was so poor a scholar that he spelled them out with difficulty. " No yes, that's it, number twenty something ; oh ! it's a three ; no 'taint, it's five ; number twenty-five Dalby street, is it ?. Do street begin with a C ? I knows now, it's Crescen' ! Dalby Crescen'; and that's the 'dentical place that poor mother took me to when we came up to London, before the cold and the want of vittles kill ed her ! " The lad drew the sleeve of his miserable jacket across his eyes and shivered not so much because the biting wind of the Decem ber nitdit was chilling his attenuated frame, 8 in sorrowful recollections of the sad hearted wnman he had seen perish from star vation, on just such a. winter's night as the present one. " Se took me there," he mused. "I was a very little lad at the time, but I've never forgot how she held me up t- look in at the windows at the gay folks that was lancing ; and says she, ' ken, if we had our rights, there is where tee should live. Fan cy me, that's never had a decent shoe to my :oot, nor a good meal since she died, living iu a grand house like that ! 1 11 go ana have another look at it to-morrow, see if I don't." A shrill cry for " Len " made him hur riedly hide the scrap of paper, and retort with a sullen " well, what's up now ? can't a fellow liave a minute to himself without beinir veiled after. I'm a-coming, ain't I And Ln, the outcast, the homeless orphan who, having a curious aversion to joining either of one bands of thieves and roughs anioncst whom he lived, was the drudge of a low lodging-house shuffled back to the kitchen of his mistress, hhe was a virago, who paid his services with scraps of broken victuals, a share of a straw pallet when it could be spared, a corner of the dirty floor when it couldn't, and so many blows and hard words, that the once bright,' sweet- temrercd boy, whose mother was still re membered in St. Giles as " the lettle lady," was fast becoming brutalized. " Len has been turning over his boards, a dissipated vagrant facetiously suggested, when he was fiercely asked where he had been skulking. " He knows as Christmas is a comint;, and he's going to make us a handsome present all round. " " Maybe 1 could do that it 1 had my rights," murmured Len, whose thoughts were still dwelling on the words of his dead mother. There was a roar of laughter from his rough companions, and the virago came to wards him with upraised hand, vociferating, .. . i , ... 1 ! 1 Tn ngnt ye, i win, you nragging vaga bond ! " But a sturdy little Irish apple-wo man who had been sitting in the chimney corner taking a blast of the pipe, suddenly interfered in the victim's behalf. "Ye'll let the boy alone, mistress. Its the drop o' whisky I giv him has got into his head, and made him quare. Come here, Len and sit quiet till the siuses has come back to ye." " What made ye say tnat I i am t nau no whisky," said the lad, as she unceremo niously pushed him down on the upturned basket that formed her own seat. " Whisht, land ! Wasn't it to save your bones from that great blacksmith's fist of her's ? Why do ye vex her, seem this is all the home ye have? What were ye a-doin' when she called an' called, and could net no answer out o' ye ? " len glanced over ins suouiuer w ni.me sure no one was listening, before he replied. "Lookmcr over a bit of paper I cot out of the big box under her lied, and he jerked his thumb in the direction of Mrs. Betsy Grimsby. " When mother died there was a little Bundle o' them papers under her pil low, and a chain and locket that she wore round her neck, and wouldn't part with, even when she were too ill to work, and I cried at her knee for bread. Old Betsy has sold the chain, but I'll have the papers some day." "Sure then, it tney re your own, wny shouldn't ye ? " observed the apple woman, co-dly, and Leu nodded and whispered again. " I drew this one out through a crack, but the others is tied together and she nev er lets the key o&.the box go out of her own hands. But another shout for Len put an end to the colloquy, and Irish Bridget had forgone ten it when two days afterwards the lad slouched past the corner of thtrbusy thor oughfare at which she retailed her iruit ana nuts, on his way to the handsome mansion in Dalby Crescent. It was Christinas eve. Ihe weather was- bright, but piercingly cold ; and Len, who for some days past had been conscious of strange aches and pains in all his limbs, was blue with the cold, when he dragged himself wearily to the railings in front of No. 23. There he stood, and looked down the area and throngh the windows of the great kitch en, in which a plump cook and a couple of attendant satellites were rolling out paste for mince-pies, and making other dainties for the morrow, regardless of the half-starved lad. who watched them. " Who lives here ! Len asked of a news paper boy who had stopped to gaze with him. and only laughed aensiveiy, wnen Miss Cook, with a threatening shake of her rolling-pin, made signs to both of them to co away. w . . t ' l . tin m 1 1 it l.l ves nere : y ny , urhl. enquire, we great banker. Hant ye heard of him ?" Leo started. " My mother s name was Capel Mar j Capel ; they put it on her coffin." " My wigs ! " exclaimed the vender of pa per, incredulously. Then you mast be tanker's rich relations. Why ;.nd pay him a one of the don t yer ca.i! yer carriage Christmas visit .' He ran on, laughing ; and Len, feeling as if his weary iimbs would support hiin no longer, sat down on the lowest of the broad stone steps leading to Mr. Capel's door, staring vacantly the while at a well-dressed girl and boy, a few years his junior, who were coming rapidly towards him hand-in-hand. They were the children of rich parents, for the young lady was clad in velvets and furs, and her youthful companion's suit and warm ulster were of the handsomest materials. They had been skating in one of the parks, for the boy carried, slung on his arm, the Acme skates they had been using. Happy, heedless, laughingly comparing their exploits on the ice ; engrossed in each other ; the sweet blu" eyes of the little maiden, full of honest admiration of her brave, handsome schoolboy, who on his part, thought Cousin Hetta the jolliest little darling in the world; neither of them saw the pallid outcast till they stood beside him. ' What are you doing here, fellow ? " ex claimed the boy, angrily. "Go away di rectly, or I'll make you ! " "Oh, Maurice, he looks so ill -so hun gry ! Don't speak roughly to him," pleaded the gentle girl. He raised his sunken eyes to the delicate ly fair speaker, and gazed at it till his fixed stare frightened her. " He's no business here ! " said Maurice Capel, the banker's son. " We can't have such a disreputable lad lurking about our door ! " "Give him something, and he'll go away," whispered Hetta. "Papa says we should not encourage beggars, Maurice told her, with a dignified air. " But it's Christmas timj,' she pleaded, " when everybody gives to everybody. Won't you ! Then the poor lad shall have mv so.vertign that grandma gave me. I wanted to make some one happy with it. Bidding Len wait, the children ran into the house, Maurice rturning alone with his cousin's solitary coin, for nurse had pounced upon the young lady to change her dress for dinner. By tins time the jjorter who open ed the door had ousted the outcast from his feat. Mr. and Airs. Capel were coming along the crescent, and what would master say if he found his carefully whitened steps desecrated by the presence ol a vagrant I Hetta's golden gift flung, rather than presented, to the retreating Len was scarcely in his palm when Mr. Capel step ped forward, stern and unpitying. His first angry speech was for his son. " How dare he ignore hisTcommand, and en courage such a disreputatnble vagabond as that ? His next for Len, whom he threat ened with the police and the- treadmill, bid ding him begone in such menacing tones that the lad attempted to obey ; staggered a few paces, and then dropped to the pave ment. ' Intoxicated, of course ! " said the bank er, with a shrug. "Dying, I fear," answered a surgeon, who had chanced to be passing, and stopped to feel the pulseless of poor, helpless, be numbed Len. "Better carry him to the workhouse," suggested some one else ; and he was borne away by a couple of policemen to spend his Christmas within the walls of St. Bonaven ture's poorhouse. And thus ended Len's first visit to the stately mansion of the Canals, No. 25, Dal by Crescent. Mr. Capel, touched for a mo ment by his condition, had resolved to do something for him, if he lived ; but in the festivities of the season the resolve was for gotten. To be continued. PROVERBS, I'I2tV AB) OLO. Owe no man anything. God promises nothing to idleness. If you are insured, watch your policy. Never make a loan on importunity. Money easily gotten is soon spent. Money earned is money valued. Avoid a second mortgage for a fre3h loan. He that maketh haste to be rich is not wise. Never sacrifice safety to large expected returns. Little coins, like little drops of water, will fill a bucket. Poverty is no bar to marriage if both par ties will work and save. The gods help those who help themselves men or women. As we saw iu temporal affairs we shall reap. It is easier to loosen up good property than to re-establish it. In discussing business disagreements keep cool. Poverty is in want of much, but averice demands everything it has not. Source oi" Personal Beauty. A berutiful person is the natural form of abeautifu soul. The mind bu; Ids its own house. The soul takes precedence of the body, and shapes the body to its own like ness. A vacant mind takes all the meaning out of the fairest face. A sensual dssposi tion deforms ti.o handsomest features. A cold, selfish he. rt shrivels and distorts the best looks. A mean, groveling spirit takes all the dignity out of the figure and all the character out of the countenance. A cher ished hatred transforms the most beautiful lineaments into an image of ugliness. It is as impossible to preserve good looks with a brood of bad passions feeding on the blood, a set of low loves tramping through the heart, and a selfish, disdainful spirit en throned in the will, as to preserve the beau ty of an elegant mansion with a litter of swine in the basement, a tribe of gipsies in the parlor, and owls and vultures iu the trp per part. Badness and beauty will no more keep company than poison will canscrt 'with health, or an elegant carving sur vive the furuace fire. The experiment ot Hiutting them together has been tried for thousands ot years, dui wiiii one unvarying result. There is nothing that so refines, polishes, and ennobles face and mien as the constant presence of great thoughts. The man who lives in the region of iicis, moon beams though they be, becomes idealized. There ase no arts, no gymnastics, no cos metics, wiiich can contribute a tithe so much of the dignity, the strength, the en nobling of a man's looks, as a great purpose, a high determination, a noble principle, an unquenchable enthusiasm. But more pow erful still than any of these as a beautitier of the person is the overmastering purpose and pervading disposition of kindness in the heart. Affection is the organizing force in the human constitution. Woman is fairer than man because she has more affection thau man. Loveliness is the outside of lone. Kindness, swSetness, good will, a prevailing desire and determination to make others happy, make the body a temple of the Holy Ghi.st. The soul that is full of pure and generous affections, fashions and features in to its own angelic likeness, as the rose by inherent impulse grows in grace and blos sorne into loveliness which art cannot equal. Thers is nothing on earth which so quickly traiistigures a personality, relines, exalts, irradiates with heaven's own impress of love liness, as a pervading, prevailing kindness of the heart. The angels are beautiful be cause they are good, and God is beautiful because He is love. Christian Globe. Watching One's-self. "When I was a boy," said an old man, we had a school master who had an odd way of catching idle boys. One day he called out to us : " ' Boys, I must have closer attention to your books. The first one that sees another idle, I want him to inform me, and I will attend to the case. ' " Ah," thought I to myself, " there is Joe Simmons that 1 don't like. I'll watch him, and if I see him looking off his book, I'll tell." It was not long beforeT saw Joe look off his book, and immediately I in formed the master. " Indeed ! " said he ; " how do you know he was idle ? " " I saw him," I said; "You did? and were your eyes on your book when you saw him ? " I was caught, and never watched for idle boys again. If we are sufficiently watchful over our own conduct, we shall luive no time to find fault with the conduct of others. None are too wise to be mistaken, but few are so wisely just as to acknowledg and correct their mistakes, and especially the mistakes of prejudice. Poverty never did any man the least good. No man is richer, or happier, or wiser for it. It commends no one to society ; it is dis gusting to the refined, and abominable to the good. Every year of our lives we grow more convinced that it is the wisest and best to fiw Qtfcntmn nit th hUUltiful SJld the good, and dwell as little as possible on the evil ana the taise. Stick to Your ISukm. The secret of the man who got rich by " sticking to his bush" will bear repetition even in these times. In answer to a ques tion how he became so very successful, he told the following story : I will tell you how it was. One day when I was a lad, a party of boys and girls were going to pick blackberries. I wanted to go with them, but was afraid father would not let me. When 1 told him what was going on he at once gaye me permission to go with them. I could hardly contain myself. I rushed into the kitchen, got a basket, and ' asked mother for a luncheon. I had the basket on my arm, and was just going out at the gate when my father called me back. He took my hand and said in a very gentle voice : "Joseph, what are you going to do ?" " To pick berries," I replied. "Then, Joseph, I want to tell yon one. thing. It is this : When you find a pretty good bush, do not leave it to seek for a bet ter one. The other boys and girls will run about picking a little here and a little there, passing a good deal of time, and getting but a very few berries. " I went and had a capital time. No sooner had one found a bush than he called all the rest, and they left their several places, and ran off to the now found treasure. Not content more than a minute or two in one place, they rambled over the whole pasture, got very tired, and at night had "very few Gerries. My father's words kept running in my ears, and I "stuck to the bush." When 1 had done with one I found another, and fin ished that, then I took another. When night came I had a basket full of ripe ber ries, more than all the others put together, .i..d wu nut half so tired as they were. I weut home happy. But when I entered 1 1 found my father had taken ill. He looked at mv basket full of ripe blackberries, andj saiil : " Well done, Joseph. Was I not right when I told you to always stick to your bush ?" He died in a few days after, and I had to make my way in the world as best I could. But mv father's words tank deep into my mind, and I never forget the experience of that blackberry party "I stuck to my bush." When I had a fair place and was doing tolerably well, I did not leave it and spend weeks and months seeking one 1 thought mightbe a little better. When other youii'' men said, " Come with us and we will make a fortune in a few weeks," I shook mv head and stuck to my bush. Pres ently my employers offered to take me into business, with them, l stayed witn the oni house until the principals died, and then I had everything I wanted. The labit of sticking to my business led people to trust me and gave me a character, J owe all I have to this motto : "Stick to your bush." A Iiesson to Viiii Hen. In these days of defalcations and breach es 6f trnst, there are two causes which more than any other lead to 8u-:h offenses, and' these two causes, it is almost needless to say, are the drinking of spirituous liquors to ex cess and gambling. The first naturally leads to the latter, and the latter counts' its vic tims by the score among young men. There is scarcely a daily paper we pick up which does not bear us out in this assertion, but one case of recent occurrence demands more than a passing notice, and we propose to call the especial attention of young men occupying responsible positions to it. A young man of highly respectable ap pearance, whose name it is not necessary to give here, stood at the bar of the Court, charged with the crime of robbing his em ployer. He did not deny his guilt, but told the story of his crimes and begged the clem ency of the Court. His story in substance was that he did not intend to steal the. money, but had only used, it to recover money that he had lost in gambling, intend ing to return it when fortune favored him. He was a graduate from the Western Uni-. versity, of highly respectable parentage, and held a position which insured him a liberali salary, troops of friends, and the entree to the best society ; but in an evil hour he was led into gambling. He lost his money, of course, and in the vain hope of getting it back he was tempted to rob his employer. The next night he visited the house again, and lost all his money. Then it seemed to him that he could not lose on the third night, and so he took $40 from the money diawer and went a third time to the house' thinking that he certainly would be able to replace the money in the morning. This money was lo3t, and at the end of t'.ie week he had taken 200 from the money-drawer " I was nearly wild," he said, " because I only took the money to win back what I took thefirst time, and all this time my employer was treating me so kindly that I felt as if.I should go crazy. One night I called at my employer s nouse to make a clean orcasi oi it, but he was not at home, and on my way back I stopped at a gambling house and won $125. I felt then I could win enough to pay him back, and I thought it would be foolish, to make a confession and ruin, myself . when, I could pay it back without letting any one, know I had taken it. The next night I won, again, and had within $40 or. $50 of what I had taken. The day after I went to the gambling house as soon as I could get away from the store, and then 1 lost all tne money I had gained." This, probably, i3 the history of ninety-, nine young men out of every hundred who are similarly tempted, and as it, .is highly. probable that this will meet the eye ot some youth who has taken the first downward .;tep in the same direction, we appeal to him. by his own self-respect, by the love of his relatives and friends, by all his hopes of the future, to stop at once before it is too late. If he has already taken the first step, let hiin go to his employer without delay, make a full confession, and throw himself on that' employer's mercy. Should he do this, all may yet be well with him. Should, he sti-. tie the voice of conscience and listen to the siren voiee of the tempter, nothing is more certain than he will eventually become an inmate in a felon's cell despised by bis friends and condemned forever after to herd with felons. ... Money won at gambling brings with it no. blessing under any circumstances. No pro fessional gambler ever died rich, while the same exertion to accumulate money by such means used in any honest direction would insure at least a comfortable living, .and the love and respect of all good men. Let young men lay this lesson seriously at heart, and be ever ready to exclaim, when tempta- tion assails them : " Get behind me, Satan."

The pleasant little pretti ness of dress and personal adornment which mark the desire to please are put on purely for the admiration of those whose admira tion gdes for nothing, while the house com panions are treated only to the ragged gown and threadbare coat, the tousled hair and stubby beard, which, if marking the ease and comfort, or the tans facon of home, mark also the indifference and disrespect that do so much damage to the sweetness and deli cacy of daily life. And what is trueof the dress is still truer of the manners and tem pers of honft, in both of which we often find too, that want of respect which seems to run side by side with affection m the custom of familiarity.

A school teacher who. had been engaged a , lung time in his profession, and witnessed the influence of a newspaprr upon the minds of family and children," writes as follows : " I have found it to be a universal fact with out exception, that scholars of both sexes and all ages, who have access to newspapers at home when compared with" those who have not, are : 1. Better readers, excellent in pronuncia tion, and coiisequeutly read more under standing. ; 2. They are better spellers and define words with ease and accuracy. 3. They obtain practical knowledge of geography in about half the time it requires the others, as the newspapers have made them acquainted with the location of im portant places, of nations, their government and doings on the globe. .. 4. They are better grammarians for having become; so familiar with every variety of style in the newspaper, from the common place advertisement to the finished and clas-, sical oration of the statesman, they more readily comprehend the meaning of the text, and constantly analyze its construction with' accuracy. 5.

He spoke to men ; if he had been addressing young women, he might have said: "Don't put too fine a point to your wit for fear it should wound rather than tickle. " Men don't take kindly to the sharp, clever young woman'who is always hurling ber shafts of wit. They not only believe, with Shakespeare, that a "soft, gentle and low voice," is "an excellent thing in women," but that it should be accompanied by gentle manners and a tender heart. The Philadel phia Times utters thoughts about the too clever young woman,- the good sense of which makes them worth heeding: Occasional indulgerice in repartee with bright man or woman is entertaining, but if either insists'upon carrying on the game un duly, it becomes a nuisance, and the prtust- ent one lays himself or herself open to the gravest of social charges, "bad style." To talk with a girl who will do nothing but cut and thrust, and whose constant attack ne cessitates a constant defense, is a bore.
