The owner of ibis pair of eyes was a slen

son of a widowed mothor, now in greatly

been an early., friend of Mr. Everett. It
was this fact which led to the boy's intro

A new train of thoughts now entered
the brokerk's mind. The child-of his old
friend had been taken' into his office from-a
kind of charitable feeling, - though of low
vitality, i : He paid him a couple ef dollars
a week, and thought little more about him
or his widowed mother. He had too many
important interests oi his owv at stake, to-
have his mind turned aside lor a trilling
matter like this. Iiutnowas theimacteof

considerations of duty and humanity were

A- brief note was written, in which Mr.
Everett not only offered present aid, but

For half an hour after the lad departed,
the broker sat musing, with his eyes upon
