She Tose from her delicious sleep, And put sway her soft brown hair, And, in a tone as low and deep As love's first whisper, breathed a prayer; Her snow- white hands together pressed, Her blue eyes sheltered in the lid, The folded linen on her breast Just swellibg with the charms it hid. And from her long and flowing dress Escaped a bare and snowy foot, Whose step upon the earth did press Like a sweet snow flake, soft and route And then from slumbers soland warm, Like a young spirit freh from Heaven, She bowed that young and matchless form, And humbly prayed to berforgiven. Oh, God! if souls as jure ftRtheso Need daily mercy from thy throne If she upon ber bended knees, Our holiest and purest one She with a face so clear and bright,' We deem ber some tray child of light If she, with those loft eyes and tears, Day afler day, in her young years, Most kneel and pray for grace from thee, How hardly if she win not heaven, Will our wild errors be forgivenl from the Kew York News.

The day before Christmas was drawing to a close. Cold gray clouds drifted off to the eastward, and a snow-storm seemed imminent. Bat in spite of threatening cloud gay throngs crowded the thoroughfares. The shop windows were brilliant with arti cles of every conceivable variety adapted for Christmas gifts. So the human tide ebbed and flawed, surging into shops, taxing to the utmost the attention of over-worked clerks, and receded with pleasant surprises destined on the following morning to make many households hsppy. , , In front of a large window, brilliantly il luminated, stood an elderly man, somewhat tinder the middle statute. Job Warner was scarcely fifty; but sedeotary habits and long stooping over a desk had bowed his form, and given him the appearance of being several year9 older than he actually was. For twenty-five years he bad been assis tant bock keeper in the counting-room of Bently & Co., importers of dry goods and wholesale jobbers. His excellent business capacity would have secured bioa promo tion to the post of chief book-keeper, bat bis own humility and absence of pretension had unconsciously influenced his employers to accept him at -bis own valuation. So, while the firm had prospered and made money by hundreds of thousands. Job War ner still continued to be assistant book keeper on a modest salary of seven hundred dollars. With a family becoming daily more expensive, the little book-keeper bad found it hard work to make both ends meet. He was compelled to live in very poor and incommodious lodgings, and practice hum ble acts of seir-denial. all which he bore with a meek and uncomplaining spirit, with which he was doubtless credited in that better world, where, we trust, all the in equalities of thia life will be made up. . The last vear had been rather a trying one to Job Warner. I'he enhanced price of nearly every article which is included un der the head of necessaries had maJe a rig'd economy needful. Months ago the family bad given up using sugar, and but ter waVonly used on Sundays. Frugality bad become a rule, and was meekly sub mitted to as a necessary condition of life. But, in spite of his habitual self-denial, the worthy book-keeper was stirred with ex travagance on this day. In the window be fore him bloomed a large doll qnita a queen she must have ben in the realm of dolls reyally attired in a purple silk dres3 and a bonnet of the latest style. The eyes of the book-keeper were fixed in admira tion upon this beautiful doll-vision. There was a household pet at home little Effice whom the possession of that doll would exalt to the seventh heaven of happiness. True, such a royal la.iy might spurn the idea of entering so humble a home, and her silks might seem out of pUce in contrast with the calicoes and ginghams with which Effice and her mother were contented. But when these considerations suggested them selves to Jo J Warner, be triurapnantly an swered, "Is there anything too good for Effie?" , ,. , . . ?. h fnnnd out the little boolc- keeper's weakness.

With an air oi aespera be entered the brilliant shop, and timidly pushing his way among the well-dressea crowds surrounding the counter aked with au apologetic cough the price of her Koyal Hubness in the window. The clerk looked a little surprised at such a question from a man of so humble appaar ance, and answered, in a short, quick tone, five dollars. Sir. Will you take it?' . Five dollars! Job was startled at the price and answered in an abashed tone tuai ue ( would not decide just yet. Oatside, be again looked longingly at the Joll. EfEce would be so delighted with it but then Eve dollars! He reckoned up what a number of articles might be pur chased for five dollars, and shook bis bead reluctantly. Mrs. Warner would think he bad quite taken leave of his senses. U course, he must give up all thoughts of it. Bat do? A daring sog-estion occurred to bim. Might be not apply to Mr. Bently for an increase of salary? There had been a general raising of salaries elsewhere That he knew. His old Iriend Timothy Fo had bis raised six raonina aSu, somehow Job bad never succeeded in sum moning up courage to make such a request nf hw,ennlover. He was not sure, in his humility, whether he was worth any more than seven hundred dollars a year., Uut his love for little EESa gave him unwonted bolduess. With au increase of salary he could buy this magni6cent doll for nor, and afford his oldest boy a course of lessons in drawing, for which he bad a strong taste.

MAYSVILLE, KY., THURSDAY, JANUARY 2l, ft was about an increase of salary, Mr Bentley said he, plunging into bis subject and talking fast to keep his courage up. Prices have been rising of late so much that I find it very difficult to maintain a wife and four children on seven hundred dollars a year. I do, indeed, Sir. If you would be 'kind enough to add a hundred, or even fifty, I would thank you gratefully. Sir.' .'An Increase of salary, oh, Warner? Sev ea hundred dollars used to be considered a ery fair salary. Of course some get much more. But you know, Warner, thst vou are not a first-class man of business. You do your work very satisfactorily, but' 'I know what yoo would say, Mr. Bent ley,' interrupted Job, humbly. '1 know rcy abilities are small, but I try to be faith ful, I hope I have always been faithful to the best of my poor abilities.' Yes, Warner, you have. Don't think I have any consplaiut to make; but as to an increase of salary , that reqbires considera tion. Probably the high prices will not al ways last, and in the mean time you can be more economical.' More economical! And this to Job, who hnd been a close economist all his lile. However, he did not venture to reply, but bowiug humbly, withdrew. A minute later his employer, .who had got through with business which detained bim, put on his overcoat aod followed. Oo his way back Job pausad again before the window which had so great an attraction for bim. Again he thought bow much little Effie would like it. But be felt satisfied , from Mr. Bentley' manner, that there was little hope of an Inctease of income, and without that such an outlay would be unpardonable ex travagance. No,' he half sighed, 'I must give up the idea of buying it, and little Effie roust be content with something less expensive. Mr. John Bentley was close behind and heard this speech. " 'So he wanted to buy that piece of finery, thought he. "No won der he demanded en increase of salary.' Tr.n turn rrtnn rttntinnnd t! walk in the same direction. Job, of course, unoonscious of Mr. Bentley's proximity. Suddenly from the darkness of a side street emerged a little girl. a very picture of wretchedness, with ragged dress, pinched and famished-' looking leatures. and feet bare, notwith standing the inclement 6easnn. She looked up piteously In the face of Job Warner. I am very cold aod hungry,' she mur mured. 'Poor child! poor child!' ejaculated Job, compassionately. 'Have you got no home? No; mother died last week, and since then 1 have lived in the streets.' Have you had anything tr eat to-day?' 'Yes, Sir, a cracker.' Only a cracker.' repeated Job, pitifully. 'And your poor feet are bare. How cold you mu-t h'.' Yes, Sir, I am very cold, said the .ittle girl, shivering. And where do you expect to pass me night?' I don't know Sir.' Where did you sleep last night?' 'In a doorway; but they drove me off this morning. I wish mother were alive again.' The poor child burst into tears, sobbing convulsively. 'Don't cry, my dear!' said Job, soothing ly. 'Don't cry. You shall come home with me, and I will let you sleep in a warm bed, and give you something to eat. I am poor, my child, but not so poor as you, thank God! I bad intended to bny some little presents for my children, but they will be bettor pleased if I spend the money in making you comfortable.

The considerate mother went up stairs and acquainted the children that their father had brought borne a poor little girl who had no father or motherland asked if for her sake they would be willing to give up their Christmas presents. This appeal went to the children's hearts. They were also delighted with the idea of a uew play fellow, and in bright combinations of the morrow lost sight entirely of the stockings that were destined to remain unfilled. 'What did. the children say?' asked Jacob, a little uneasily. 'Dear children!' said Mrs. Warner, wiping hereyes with motherly affection aod pride. 'They took it like little angels. They are very anxious to see the little girl. I do be lieve they will regard her as the best Christmas present they could have.' 'I wish we could do something more than keeD her for a few days,' said Job, thought fully. 'So do I. If you bad a little larger sal ary Job, it might be done. Why don't you ask for more?' I did to-n'ght Mary. 'And what did Mr. Bentley say?' inquir ed Mrs. Warner, eagerly. He advised me to economise.' As if you hadn't been doing it all yonr life,' exclaimed bis wife, indignantly. 'Little he knows what economy is!' 'Hush, Mary,' said Job, half frightened. 'Of course be can't understand how hard a time we have to get along.' 'No, but be ought to inquire. What harm would it do him to give you another hundred dollars?' 'I suppose he could afford it,' said Job, 'but perhaps he doesn't think I am worth ary more. As he said, seven hundred dol lars used to be considered a fair salary.' 'So he refused your application?' Well, no, not exactly. He said he would take it into consideration. But I am sure from his tone that I have nothing to expect. We must get along as well as we can through the hard times, and perhaps things will improve by and by.' What a thoroughly good man you are, Job!' said Mrs. Warner, lookiog affection ated at her husband, who was dear to her in spite of nis shabby coat. Of course I havn't got a good wife,', he answered, cheerfully; I won't call myself noor as long as I have, you, Mary.' There were few happier or more thank ful hearts than those of the shabby book keeper and his good wife, despite their en forced self-denial and numerous privations. Their souls were filled with oalm and se rene trust that the same kind Providence which had guarded and guided them here tofore, would continue its beneficent care and protection. Mrs. Warner toek up her knitting, and Job, opening the well-used Bible. Dreceeded to adjust bis spectacles, preparatory to reading a chapter, when he waa interrupted by a quick, sharp, decisive knock at the outer door. Taking a tallow-candle from the table, Job went to the door and opened it. The wind caused his candle .to flicker, so that he did not at first recognize the visitor. When he did, his heart gave a sudden bound, and in his surprise he nearly let fall the light. It was his employer Mr. John Bent lev, who stood before him. "Well, Warner, may 1 come in?' inquired the merchant, with an unwonted kindness in his tone. To be sure, Mr. Bentley, Sir, I shall be most bappy if you will condescend to enter mv noor dwellinff. It isn't suitable for such a visitor. But yon are heartily welcome, Sir. This way, if you please Mrs. Warner looked up as her husband .Antra.i ik mum.

'You may consider your salary raised, then, Warner,' he proceeded, and as you have been able to get along on seven hundred dollars, I hope you will be able to afford yourself some additional com forts on a thousand!' 'A thousand!' repeated Jeb and his wife, simultaneously. Yes, my good friedds,' said Mr. Bent ley. I have decided that my assistant book keener is fully worth that sum to the firm, and it is my wish to pay those whom I em ploy what they are justly entitled to.' 'How can I thank you, air? exclaimed Job, rising and seizing bis employer's hand. 'I shall consider myself rich with such an income. Mary, did you understand f. 1 am to have a thousand dollars. Sir, you are very kind,' said Mary, sim ply. 'I need not thank you. Your own heart will tell you now mucn nappmess you have conferred upon us.' I understand and appreciate what you say, said Mr. Bentley, kindly. But, War ner, be continued, there is another matter about which I wish to speak to you. There is a young girl in whom I feel as interest, who is unfortunate enough to stand alone in the world, without father or mother. I have thought that if you and Mrs. Warner would be willing to receive ber as one of your family, and bring ber up in the Same careful manner as your own children, it would be an excellent arrangement for her, while I take ca'e that you lose nothing by your kindness. - We shall be roost bappy to oblige you, sir, said Mrs. Warner; bat would our plain style of living suit the young lady? We shall, to be sure, be able now to afford a better bouse. I do not think the young lady will find any fault with your house-keeping, Mrs. Warner, said the merchant, especially as she has probably never been accustomed to living as well as she would with you. Mrs. Warner looked mystified. Mr. Bentley smiled The youDg lady is already in your house, he explained. In fact, it is the friendless little orphan whom your, husband encoun tered to-night and brought home. Mrs. Warner's face lighted up with pleas ure. We will undertake the charge gladly, she answered, and should have done so if you had not spoken of it. Is it not so, Job? Yes, Mary, it occurred to me as soon as Mr. Bentley spoke of raising my salary. And you would bave really undertaken such a charge at your own expense? said Mr. Bentley wonderingly. Would it have been just to your own children to diminish their comforts for the sake of doing a char itable action? We shall notbe able to leave our child ren money, said Mrs. Warner, simply, but we hope to train-them up to deeds of kind ness. There's a great deal of suffering in this world, sir. We ought to do our part toward relieving it. I honor you, Mrs. Waener, for your un selfish benevolence, returned Mr. Bentley, warmly; but in this case I shall do my part. I shall claim to do my part. I shall allow you two hundred dollars a year for taking charge of this child. You will of coarse re quire a larger and more commodious house, and I will, I hope, be enabled to afford your children such advantagea as they may re quire them to act their part in the world. Two hundred dollars! exclaimed Job, scarcely crediting the testimony of his ears. Why, that will make twelve hundred! Mr. Bentley, sir, I hope you will believe me to be grateful. You have so loaded me with benefits that I don't know how to thank you. , An J l am unaer oongauous 10 yuu, y r- i 11. t . 1 T.AnM;. er, also, saia Jiir. xeuney. x luryc, i.j ail hponn to harden my heart.
