BY ANTHONY K, ANDERSON. Such a cold Thanskriving day as it was! with the thermometer hiding shiveriDgly at the very bottom of its glass prison, and with the wind racing and shrieking wildly along the tele graph wires. Thero was a snow, too tiny, whirling flakes thai felt like noo dles when they touched your faco or hands. Ji.ven tho great, gloomy curl begrimed warehouses soemed to shiver and croucb boneatu ino fury of tne cruel north wind. "Shine! shine! shine 'em up for a nickel!" Tipp's shrill, boyish voice rose above the shrieking of tho wind, and his round faco, made rosy and glowing by tho nipping of tho wind and snow flakes, shone from behind the folds of his ragged red "comfort er." "Whew!" gasped Tip, as a sudden gust of wind almost forced him to make an impromptu seat of he hard pave ment, "what a day! Wish't I was to home. Even Granny Macarthy's old shanty is better'n nothink. 1 don't see why they call this Thanksgiving day. I hain't got nothink to bo thank ful to anybody fer, ai I knows on, 'less tia this jolly warm comforter round my neck." Tip didn't stop to think, 1 am sure; if he had considered a moment, he would have found many other things to be thankful for. "Granny must 'a' had a streak o'luck when she ga' mo this comforter. Jesl. as good as new, only a little holey. P'r'aps Jed mado a big haul yesterday. Ugh! I wouldn't go a pocket-pickin' for a forchin. Sho'd think Jed O'Neale 'd lay awako all night a-thinkin' 'bout what he's been a-doin', Stealin' silk wipes may pay better'n blackin' boots, but I wouldn't do it for Granny Macar thy or anybody else! "Shine, sir? Only a nickol," as a fat figure, all muffled up in a shaggy ulster and a seal skin cap, came pu fling and blowing around the corner. "Oh, go 'long, boy," said the fat figure, irately. "Do you think I'm goin:r to stand here and freeze . to death in order to get my boots pol ished." - "Thought you might want a rest right here," said Tip, very meekly, though his bright blue eyes were twink ling merrily. With an unintelligible snort tho fat figure puffed cn again. "Only two shines to-day," thought Tip disconsolately, "an it's past noon, I thought I'd have a dinner in style, to day, .ith turkey an' choe'late an pud din' an' so forta but ten cents won't buy it. Ten cents extry, now, would jobt do it. Heigh-ho ! why wasn't I born a swell banker, cr elso a be-yutiful banker's daughter, with goldin' hair an laughln' eyes P" Then another figure in an ulster and a sealekin cap came by. This gentle man wasn't short and fat. but tall and graceful. lie was just opposite Tip, when his foot slipped ou the treacher ous payment, ana down he went with a dull thump. I'm ever so glad to say that Tip didn't laugh. If he had laughed I'm afraid I'd have been so ashamed of my hero that I would have left this little story all untold. Most boys would have laughed but Tip's faco was as grave as a judge's as he limped over Tip was lame, you must know and proceeded to help the gentleman to his feet. "A werry bad fall that." said Tip, with solicitude. "Hope you didn't break no bones, sir t " "Oh, I guess not, thank you," said Mr. John Branch, rubbing his bruises tenderly. "Don't you want to blacken my boots, boy P" "Course, sir,' began Tip, brightly; but," dubiously, "your boots don't seem to need much shinin'." "I think they do need shining," said Mr. Branch, with quiet decision, afunny laugh in tho jolly brown eyes. So Tip set to work with a will, and in less than a minute Mr. Branch's lxota were like twinkling minors. "Whew! I bet the fel'.ow's rich," thought delighted Tip, as he pocketed the quarter of a dollar Mr. Branch in sisted on his taking. "P'raps he's too proud to cany small change in his pockets. You don't catch me bein's Sroud as all that. . Pennies air's good's ollars, I say, if you've gut plenty of 'em. And now for the swellest res taurant in town. O, cricky, that fel low's lost his pocket-book, sum's gun's!" makirg a dive for the pave ment. "HI, hi, there!" shrieked Tip, shrilly, come back and get your property! Say-y, tnbterl" and Tip hastened after Mr. Branch as fast as his lame leg would permit Wish he'd take his cap oflen his ears a minute," panted Tip to himself, as Mr. Branch never turned his head, "so's he could hear. Cricky! what steps he takes! There he's stoped at last, an' at the swellest house in the stroet, I do believe." As Tip pausod to take broath, Mr. Branch trippod nimbly tip the marblo steps and opened tho massive door. "Why couldn't he a waitodP" grura bled Tip; but Tip's grumbling, like everything else about him, was cheery and good natured." Now I'll have to ring and present my card, and bo oosb ered into the elegant boodoro." And Tin laughed at tho very thought. "But dear met" with a comical twinkle in tho nicrrv blue eves. "1'vo con an' dono it! I left my card case an, gloves homo on the planner! But it cau't bo healpod now as I didn't expect to go a-callin to-day. I wonder what that foller'll do when ho gots his pocket- book, back," gravely. I r aps no 11 clasp my haud with tears in his eyes an' say, "Here is a hundred tbouaan dollars; tako it my dear, deo-ar benny factor, as a small tokJnt o' me regards! "If you ever need a friend, why, call on me." Oh cricky! and Tip laughod till he had to hold tight to a fence, and till the tears came. "An' then 1 11 say: "You insa-a-lt mc honor, I only did me duty." With fear and trembling. Tip rang me oeu. it was opened lL'imcui&ieiy by a tall, solemn person in black and immaculate white linen, whose sandy hair was parted and plastered down with great precision, and who carried his head very high indeed. You should havo seen the look of outraged surprise on his 'smooth solemn face, when he beheld the ragged little figuro in the doorway. Tip returned the staro with ono of easy nonchalance. He had not lived in the slums of a great city for tho short twelve years of his life for nothing. Ho was quite aware that "appearances are eomotimes deceitful." Though the Eorson before him had the look and earing a prince might wish for in vain, Tip well knew ho was only a servant, after all. . "I wants to see the folkr who jest wont in," said Tip with quiot dignity. "I hain't got no card along, but you jest toll him a gentleman wants to soe him on business. That'll fetch him, I guess. Bo quick, pleaso, 'cause my time Is valu'bJe." Then to himself, with a chuckle, "I'm hungry, that's whv! ' "Did I evor hear such impudence in all my born days!" gaspod James, rolling his eyes in solonin horror. "A YuiiTcrur rinonntr nt. thrt f rnnt fionr. find calling on bnsine8s!" I ham t no beggar! said lip, stout ly, his eyes flashing. "WhHtisit, James P said a pleasant voice, which Tip recognized as belong ing to the gentleiLan whose wallet he had in his pocket. Then Mr. Branch himself appeared on tho sceno. "A gentleman to seo you on business, Mr. Branch" murmured James, with a sniff. Ho looked so scandalized that Mr. Branch had to smile in spite of himself. Oh, it's you, isitP" said Mr. Branch to Tip. "Well, what can I do for you?" kindly. "Nothinr as 1 knows on." said Tip. casting an indignant as well as triumph ant giance at iames. "i louuu mis 'ero where you tumbled down. So I comes after you's fast's I could. You didn't hear mo a hollerin' after you." Mr Branch opened wide his eyes, and clutched tho wallet eagerly. Then ho looked curiously at Tip. "Havo you any idea of how valuable this book is to mo?" he asked, after a pause. "No, sir," said Tip, wondering why ho asked that quostion. "It is worth thousands upon thou sands of dollars to me, and you have dono mo an inestimable service in bringing it to me." Then ho asked ab- rubUy so abruptly as to almost make Tip jump out of his rusty broken shoes: 'liavoyou had your drnneryotr ' "No, sir," stammered Tip. "Didn't have 'nough money to get any till after I'd blacked your boots. Gos3 I'll go o a rcstaurang now,1' making a dive for tho great door. 'Don t go," raid Mr. Branch, quickly. "By tho way, what is your nameP" Tin ell- " Tip what'?'1 "Dunno. Guess I hsin't got no other name. Only swell folk's has more'n ono." Well, Tip let's call you Tip Branch, just for fun I should like to have you stay and dine with us to day.'' And Tip stayed for dinner not only on that Thanksgiving day, but the next day, and the nexr, and numerous other days. If you should evor go into tho Na tional Bank on street, you may see there a handsome, manly lad, who limps slightly. They call him Tip Branch. Mr. John Branch, who la President of tho bank, lovos Tip almost as well as if ho wero his own son. Tip may some day bo a banker, after all. Who knows? At ono time this seemed the wildest improbability to Tip. But things happen very strangely in this world. Tip is now of the opinion that Granny Macarthy's old red "comforter" is not the only thing he has to be thankful for! Her Appreciation Explained UocKland Courier Qazette. "You like the paper, don't youP' smirked 'he editor, as the woman in the t triped shawl paid six months in ad van co. "Very well," replied tho woman in the striped shawl, guardedly. "During the summer 1 have liked it better than usual." "Ah, indoedi" tho 'editor happily chirped, "I suppose you havo been in terested in my denunciations of our depraved opponents, tho opposite po litical party P" vjfo-o," sp.id tho woman, slowly; "it wasn't exactly that." "ihen what was ItP" the editor ask ed, still smiling; "let me know what other feature of my paper renders it so indispensable to my valued lady constituency. What did you like tho paper forP" "Because." tho woman in tho strip ed shawl explained, as she put hor re ceipt away whore she never would find it agaia, "because it is so strung, and is so nice to mash flies with," And the editor's stony stare was equal to those in Bunker Hill monu ment. FHOM. THE COIIPORAL. From tho Marine Barracks, Pensaco- la Florida. Corporal Ben Barger writes of the benefits of Brown's Iron Bitters in that malarious region. Ho says: "I have used several bottles and must say 1 am greatly beneQtod by using it.

This kind of testimony comes from all quarters concerning Brown's Iron Bittern tho. beat tonic.

Portable Strawberry Beds. Portable strawberry beds aro tho lat est in the long line of inventions of the nineteenth century, and in a few years every citizen who has a little patch of garden or sunny spot on the roof of his house can raise strawberries all the year round. Thcso beds have three or four advantages over tho old-fashioned style, which cannot bo overestimated. All tho disadvantages of wind, rain and drought aro done away with. Between Branford and Guilford U a back road that is little traveled, and on ono of tho loneliest, rockiest and most gener ally forlorn clearings lives a man who is destined to revolutionize tho market gardening of tho future. He is an aged negro, rejoicing in tho appellation of Oesar Johnson. A reporter, with a tasto for the wild and beautiful in na ture, and who had saved up three months' salary and hired a team and taken a friend to ride, chanced to drive past tho habitation of Ctesar a day or two ago, and was surprised to see the old man sitting in front of his house, regarding with an air of prido three or four lino specimens of strawberries. "Whcro in the world did you get those?" he asked, as ho drew up his animated quadruped and forgot all about his companion and the fact that horse hiro goes by the hour. "I growed 'cm'," said Ca-sar, as be calmly devoured a berry that would bring twenty-live cents in the New York market. "You grew them? HowP" "Yes, war, I done growed them in buckets. You jess come and see." Tho reporter followed, and suro enough, back of tho hovel, on a bench, stood twenty or thirty pails, each with a flourishing strawberry plant. Some of the plants wero covered with blos soms, and on others tho deep red and delicately greenish white of tho ripe and unripe fruit, peeped from under luxuriant leaves. "You seo dem pails is mighty handy to take round," explained Ctesar, as he hfld one in each hand for the news gatherer's inspection. "I done mado a lot of them pails, and fill 'cm up wid de blackest kind of wood dirt. Den onco a week I cuts a runner off an old plant, and puts in a fresh pail, and that way I keeps a fresh stock. Dese old plants can stand do cold, so I lcabs dem out until late in the afternoon, but de young 'uns dey looks kinder peaked ii i lets uem De out, except in ao mia dle ob de day." Tho roof of the house was mostlv composed of old sashes neatly glazed, and in the center of tho garret floor stood an old wood stove, which kept the temperature at summer heat. Thero were more pails, each containing plants of different ages, which Cccsar explain ed would bear all winter if he did not forget and let the fire go out. Tea-Cup Lore. Pictures in a tea-cup? Well, the Idea is not altogether a new one, and many of my little friends have, no doubt, tried the old-fashioned plan of making pictures, or, as I think it is called, "telling fortunes," in a tea-cup. In fact I have a friend who is quite re nowned for her success as a fortune teller through her skill in shaking and tapping a tea-cup until tho grounds, or tea-leaves, in the bottom of the tea-cup assume, in a rudo way, certain shapes or forms representing people, animals, and various other images which she professes to understand as referring in some way to tho person whose fortune she happens to bo telling at tho time. I was present once when she told, in this way, the fortune of a young lady. Tho prophecy and tho method of mak ing it seemed to mo to bo very vague; but tho gist of it all was, that in a short timo a young gentleman of ex tremely prepossessing appearance would arrive, and that he was, in some unexplained way, to exert a powerful influence on the future prospects of the young lady. Wishing to discover what thero was in the cup to warrant such a forecast, I obtained possession of it without being observed. In tho bottom of tho cup I saw that the tea-leaves had assumed a form which, with a little aid of the imagination, might bo accepted as resembling a very spare, delicate, and altogether dilapidated young man. With tho aid of a tea-spoon, ana using a few other grounds or leaves that were lying on the bottom of the cup, I quickly chang d tho young man into a most disreputable-looking old tramp, with a big bundle on his back, and ac companied by a ferocious-looking bull dog. Then I awaited the result. Pres ently, the young lady whose fortune had been foretold took up the cup, with a blush of pleasure, to examine its con tents. The moment she saw the dread ful figuro of the old tramp, she ex claimed, "What a horrid old frightl" Then thero was a great commotion, which was only quelled when I ac knowledged my guilt. But I had learned somct ing, which was that, with a little management, and a tea spoon, pictures of many kinds could be made in a tea-cup. C. C. Ware?, in St. Nicholas for November. A Remarkable Bridge. Distant about an hour's ride by rail from Avignon is the Tont du Card (or bridge of tho Gird), a great bridge or aqueduct built here by the Romans at a time when this part of Franco was occupied by the soldiers and colonies of that people; and next to the Collos scum at Borne, it is considered the grandest and most perfect piece of Ro man architecture now standing in tho world. It is an immense stone bridge, stretching acros tho wholo valley. It consists of three rows of arches, ono above the oUier. In tho lower row thero are six very largo arches; above this is a longer row of eleven smaller arches; and over this thirty-fiver arches still smaller. On tho top of the upper row of arches, and forming tho summit of tho bridge, is a covered aqueduct or water-way. At a little distance this vast bridgo seem almost as entirw and Ecrfoct a: when iirst built, and wo can a dly realize that it has stood therefor nineteen centuries. It was erected scle ly for the purposo of carrying water across the valley, and was part of ao nquemici twenuv-trve miles long, con stnictcd by tho Romans to conduct the water of the springs of Airan to their town of Ncmruisus, now the French town of Nimes.

"How aro Americans like I In Eng land?" And Mr. B. F. Larrabeo of 42 Chester Square, ex-director of Iho New York & Boston Despatch Express Company, who has recently returned from a con siderable residence in London, an swered: "If they havo good recom mendations and behave themselves, they aro well treated, but they will like the English people, any way, when ac quaintance ripens into conhdence." "How do the English compare with Americans?" "Tho bnost looking men in tho world can bo keen on pleasant days of the London season, promenading Piccadil ly.
