o o o O O THE COOK'S STORY. BY HERSELF. "No "I said; Ial- vu,y ivs did say that, when they came a bGUierm' rae m the kitchen, thosad beggars. " No," I said ; but lie would come in, and stood there lookin' so wretched that I couldn't do noting fiercer than to snake the soup ladle at him and yell, " Well, now, what do you want ?" " Something to eatj" says he, as meek as a lamb. "Mother is sick, and father is dad, and she and I and baby are so hungry !" "J est the same old story" says I, "that every beggar boy has told me lor years, There go away. And I remember, as I did it, fast ening my breastpin, that had trick of coming Undone. I knew by that that I had it on. It was . one I'd had given me, and it was worth a great deal. It had be longed to a rich old lady I waited on, and poor folks generally don't have such pins. But he looked so pitiful that my heart melted, and says I, " I cknow you're lying, but it's jest me to be imposed upon. Sit down there and eat your break fast, and I'll give you some scraps afterwards. : And then I went on with the puddhV, keepin' my eye on the child. He was as white as a sheet, and his cheeks as hollow as a man's of eighty, and his poor little feet were bare, and the tears would rise into my eyes whether I would or no ; and" I felt sort o' wicked for Jiavin' spoken so at first. The short and the long of it is, I stuffed his basket as full as could be and sent him off stuffed full to; and I went back to the kitchen, and was feelin' quite con tented likepand as though I'd done my duty, when feelin' somethin' queer about my collar, I put my hand up, and the pin was gone. I looked all over the floor. It wasn't there. I hadn't been out of the room, and in a moment I knew who had got it. It was that brggar-boy. That came of har borin' beggars for the first time in my life. I didn't stop long to think.0 I jest pitched what I had in my hand on the floor. 'Twas only a wooden bowl; but I'd a done it jest the same, I'm afraid if it had been a chany dish to be stopped out of my wages. And out I went into the street. " Mr. Policeman " I cried, to one that was iest agoin' by, by luck, "catch that becrrar-bov. He's hooked my pin." And I never saw noth mix like the way that big man strided up the street and pounced on to that mulge. lie gave a screech, and then began to cry ; inul all I says to the policeman wasP " Get back my pin. That's alii care for." But that was easier said than done. The iin was not to be found. He'd thro wed it way, most likely. And then I was in suchsa boiling ra-cro that I could have killed him. " Lock him up, sir," says I to tlie policeman, " and I'll appear a;in him to-morrow." And then I had to go hack to the kitchen ; foiChe a cook's emotions what they may, her missus and her master won't think of goinp without their dinner particularly her master. Well, I kept boiliic and frettin,' and wishin1 I could hang the hoy. And never in my life did I have such a time with missus. It was, "Cook, the meat an't done enough;" and, " Cook, the gravy is too thick." And the unler gal M as gone, and I had to wait myself. And at last when dinner was sent down to me, I couldn't eat a hit of it. I put it away untouched, and jest set down and cried. Xext mornin' I went to the court and told my story, and the police2 man said he'd seen the hoy throw Komething away ; and the Judge Jie sentenced, mm to oe locked up for I dunno how many days; and all the while the little rascal kept crying, and vowing he never saw the pin. It made it ro much the worse. If he had owned up, he wouldn't have deserved half so had. Hut as it was, I was glad to see him punished, and I'd a been gladder till to see him hung. When I went home I felt better; and so, finding myself hungry for the first time since I had lost mv pin, I got out the cold pudding and a bit of meat, and sat down alone by myself in the kitchen to eat them. "Xo wonder missus found fault," gfaid I, as I put mv spoon into the pudding. '"There's lumps in it like stones." And with that I tried to break it, and couldn't ; and feelin o- curious muVl put it on the table iz seemed to be a real stono. " Tn the sugar likely," gays I, and broke xne pmuiing away; and there in the midst I saw my breastpin. It Had dropped m while I Was mixin it, and there it was. About an hour afterwards all the 1 help down the street had it to tell that Ann Gerry -that's me had gone mad, and rushed off" to drown herself. I went with nuthin' on my my hcd, a wriwgin' my hands and crying'; but where I went was to the prison, to beg and pray that dear boy's pardon of the judge, and ask him to lock ma up m the precious innocent s place. niai ooy x consider my boy now. lie shall have all I've got in the savings bank, every cent. A better boy never lived, and next to his own ma. She s better now, and doin' fine washin' and flutin,' as I can recommend to suit any lady. That boy loves me. And this I alwavs sav to all I know when I hear 'em talk of beggars and tramps, "Don't judge 'cm be cause of their poverty. Don't judge, lest, as our minister reads out of the Bible, you may oe jnug ed yourself by them above you." Those an't the words, but it s the spirit, and so I hope it's all the same. ' Death. They who have expe "rienced a very seveic and alarming illness can, in some measure, real ize what their feelings will be on the approach of the king of terrors. Ihey iounu xne iiunys world, one after another, deserting them; first their common amuse ments, their interest in the bustle of life; then a thousand long-cherished but foolish hopes;oand lastly, even then what to a creature standing on the borders of eternity becomes tasteless, wearisome then the consolations of friendship. What remained ? A frightful void! or the love of God, and in that, all which cheers an angel's heart! Here is a sublime sight a creature hovering between earth and heav en, unfit for the one, unacquainted with the other; incapable of hold ing any intercourse with the in habitants of either world; hanging on the Supreme Governor of the universe alone for comfort, as a child holds with implicit confi dence the hand of its tender pa rent. A piece of mechanism, for transferino- railroad cars from one track to another without necessita ting the running of the car several hundred feet bayk or forward, and without the use of switches, has just been patented. Its practical advantages are a saving ot depot room and ot time. McmphU EIPu80auil Pa lic mitl San Diego and Ciila. Ilailroatls. Like the first Pacific Railroads the Southern route has commenced at both ends. A telegram from San Francisco gives information of the departure of Ex-Secretarv Sew- 1 q ard and Generals Sedgwick and Hosecrans for San Diego, to wit ness the turning of the first earth on the San Diego and Gila Kail road. At the eastern end, General Fremont and his Company, are pushing the Memphis, El Paso and Pacific road with great earnest ness. Appearances indicate the com pletion of the entire line in two years. And there is every reason to believe that neither energy or means are lacking to this end. Fremont and Hosecrans perfectly understand the task they have un dertaken, and they make this, for the time their sole employment. The present is a favorable moment. All railroads enterprises are dis cussed with reference to their fu ture connections with the Southern system, and the South itself is deeply interested in this route to the Pacific by the 35th parallel. As a means of opening up the fer tile regions of Texas of develop ing the inexhaustible mines of Ari-' zona of protecting the frontier it is of incalculable importance to the United States and of special value to the South. The remarkable ease with which it can be constructed and operated should be noticed. There are no heavy grades, no alkali plains, no sage bush wastes, no snow block ades, to encounter. The work need not be impeded for a day at any season. ood and water abound, and the route has been so carefully and repeatedly gone over, that the work will proceed at a sure and uniform pace to its com pletion. Jbx. Domkstic Life. The banes of domestic life are littleness, falsity, vulgarity, harshness, scolding, vo ciferation, and incessant issuimr of superfluous prohibitions and or ders, which are regarded as imper tinent interferences with the gener al liberty and repose, and are prov ocations ot rankling or exploding resentments. The blessed anti dotes that sweeten and enrich do mestic life are refinement, high O 1 - A . . A. - A I 1 ..m, wicul interests, sott voices, quiet and gentle manners, magnan imous tempers, forbearnnnn Vrom all unnecessary commands of dicta tion, and general allowance of mu tual freedom. Love makes obedi ence lighter than liberty. Man wear's a noble allegiance, not as a conar, out as a garland. The Graces are never so lovely as when seen waiting on the Virtues: and wncn tney tims dwell together tney mate a heavenly home. No attection, save friendship, has any sure eternity m it. Friendship "u-ui, mereiore, always to I e cul tivated in love itself; as its only sufficient substitute in its nhsnnro. A counlo . i . uv iUe, WllllOUt lfJ!
