THE ORPHANS' HOME.
Iu n small villago on ono of tho moat
bnrrcn districts of tho West of Ireland
thoro lived n vory poor widow, whoso
solo Inheritance from her husband woro
two healthy children, girls, of tho re
spective ngos of threo and llvo. Painful
ly and by tho utmost effort sho had con
trived to pass two years of her sorrowful
wldowliood. Bad nnd scanty food, ob
tnincil only by labor too grcnt for her
delicate frame, hntl nt Inst thrown her
upon her sick-bed, nnd death, in pity,
removed her In n few days nnd without
grcnt suffering, from hor rnrthly troub
les. Tile poverty of tho wholo pnrlsh
wns so crent thnt nothing could bo done
for tho poor orplinus.
"If tlio children could only bo got to
Kilburn" a vlllngo somo miles distant
said one of tho nelghbory, after tho poor
mother had been buried, "a brother of
their father lives there, nnd ho could not
possibly refuso to tnko care of them."
So n cmrlcr, who wns going near to
Kilburn, us an net of charity, took tlio
two girls Lizzie wns seven now, and
Mary was five in his cart with him.
Toward noou they readied tho spot
whero tho enrt would (urn oil. Tho man
lifted them out, showed them the road,
nnd bid them go straight forward. . .
"I am so hungry," sobbed Mary, "Wo
havo had nothing to eat all day." Aud
ncaiu they both began to cry; for Llzzio
was equally hungry.
Tlio children wero vory weak, ami
could only drag themselves slowly along.
Hand In hand they tottered on. At last
Lizzlo saw n house. With hesitating
steps thoy entered tlio yard, for tltoy had
never begged before, iu splto of tholr
former misery. Kut at tills moment they
could not think of nothing else than
thoir tcrriblo hunger. Tlio children, ter
rified, stood still nt tho door until an
nngry voico censed. Then Lizzie opened
tho door and both children entered. Tlio
farmer sat iu an nrm-chalrby tho lire.
"Well, what do you want'.'" ho harsh
ly ashed tho children, who wero too
frightened io utter a word and to toll
their errand. "Can't you speak?" ho
asked, moro roughly,
Lizzlo at Inst took courage, and snld,
gently: "Q if you would bo so good as
to give us tl.j least bit to eat a small
plcco of bread a few potatoes."
"1 thought so," shouted tho farmer; "I
was suro you wero nothing but beggars,
although you do not seem to belong to
this neighborhood. Wo havo plenty of
thoso here, aud wo do not want them to
como from other partH. Wo havo not
bread for ourselves In the.so hard times.
You will get nothing here. Ho oil', tills
moment!"
Tho children, both dreadfully frighten
ed, began to cry bitterly.
"Wo havo not enton a morsel tho wholo
day," pleaded Lizzie. "Wo nro ho tired
that wo cannot movo u step. If you
would but glvo us tiio least bit to eat,
wo aro no hungry."
"I havo told you I would not. Ueggars
get nothing here."
Tlio farmer got up with a threatening
look. Lizzlo quickly opened tho door
nnd drew her sister with her. Tho chil
dren again stood In tho barnyard, but
know not what to do. Suddenly llttlo
Mary drew her hand from her sister's
elasp aud went to tho other sido of tho
yard; there was n llerco dog chained,
his dinner stood beloru him In a wooden
basin. Mary put her hand lu the basin
nnd began to eat with tho dog. Lizzlo
went nearer aud saw that lu tho basin
there was some liquor lu which u fow
pieces of bread uud somo boiled potatoes
wero Moating. She, likewise, could not
resist; she had but one feeling thnt of
tlio most gnawing Hunger; ulio took
Bomo of tho bread and potatoes, and eat
them greedily.
Tho dog, not nocustonied to such
guests, looked nt tho children; ho drew
back, then sat down and left them his
dinner, of which ho had enton hut very
little. At this moment, thofariuerstep
ped Into tho yard; ho wished ro sco
whether tho children had really loft, and
when ho saw this singular scene ho was
amazed. The dog was noted for his
ilerceiicss, mid feared nliko by old and
young. J Io was oblidged to bo constant
ly chained, and no ono dared to come
near him except his master. Kven tho
sorvant put his food before him In u most
cautious manner. In tho llrst moment
tho man thought of nothing but the
fearful danger in which the children
were, nnd walking quickly toward them
oxcluliued :
"Dontyotisco tho dog? Ho will tear
you to pieces !"
But suddenly ho stopped as If rooted to
tlie ground; the dog had got up again
and gone near tho children; then ho
looKod nt his nmsterand wnggcdhla tall,
it scorned us if ho wished to say:
"Dont drive my guests away!"
At thnt Bight n great chnugocamo over
tho man; tlio spectaclo boforo him acted
like an electric shook, and feelings sneh
ns ho novor had before, seemed to stir
within him.
Tlio children bad risen, terrified at tho
call of tho man, und, fearful of punish
ment for having eaten, camo with down
cast eyes. At lust, aster aeyerrl minutes'
silence, tlio farmer said:
"Aro you really so fearfully hungry
thnt you do not oven despise tho dog's
food? Como in, then, you shall havo
somothing to eat, anil as much as you
like." And then taking tltm by the
hand ho led them into tho house, culling
out to tho servant, "Biddy, get somo hot
bread und milk, und bo quick, for these
children."
Thy dog had shamed his master the
bruto had shamed tlio tuau. Ho seated
tho children nt tho table, sat down by
them, and kindly asked them their
names, which thny cave him.
"Do you know my nnmo, chllilron?"
"No," replied Lizzie.
'How happened It, then, that you havo
como to mor" ho asked. "Has nny ono
sent you io mo, "
"Nobodyjlias sent us," ropllcd Llzaie.

"Your mother wni qulto right whon

what will you tlo if this hard-hearted

"Then wo will hnvo to 8

"No, not" oxclnimsd tho man, quick

pry your toars. Tho merciful Uod ha9

mado uso of a flerco bruto to soften tho
heart of your unole, and therefore ho will
novor forsake you nover."
Tho Mhlldren looked at tho man In bo
wlldermout; they did not qulto under
stand what ho said his words nnd his
behavior wero nliko strango to them.
This lie soon perceived, for ho ndded:
"You aro going to Kilburn to Patrick
