Ilow sadly I tliiidc of poor little children with frozen feet and blue pinched faces, wandering homeless in city streets* or liuddling o^ether in frozen garrets and dreary cellars, trying vainly to warm themselviis over a half dead lire. As r think of I hem, there comes to my mind the story of what hap- [lened once to a little hoy just sucii anotiier day. He liveil with hiS father and nu>thcr and baby sister in a little cottage about a mile und a liulf from* the little village of \V^ ----- , whicli is very far north, in a j>art of the country where tlie snow storms are leiTiblc. They kept no sfjrvant, iijV hey were quite »>o. 1-:.-..v;u /^irher. Mr. Leei went,;© ij' to spend Sun day with his brotlier, who lived about fifteen miles off, the little boy was left to take care of his ‘mother and qahy Nelly. Yery proud and grand he felt, particularly as he was to stay with Nelly while his moth er went to church ; and he had nev e r been allowed to do that before. Ihiton Sunday, when he came down to Iniild the fire, he saw it was snowing veiy fast; and it snow ed all day until the great drifts peeped at each other over the fences, and jiressed so hard against the back door of the cottage that there was no optiuing it. I'Vunlv was lef*t to himself very much that day, for Nelly was ail ing, and lay half awake on her mother’s knee, peevish and fretful. Her fever kept increasing fust, and just at nightfall the poor little thing grew much worse; and the mother knew that a doctor must see her, or perhaps, the precious life would burn itself • out before anything could be done. She looked out in to the gathering night and falling snow, and then at her sick little child. ‘Frank,’ she said ‘Nelly is very sick and I do not know wnat to do fa* her. She ought to have the doctor and I am afraid if we wait until morning it will be too late to save her from a severe illness. Per haps’—but here slie stopped for a moment. ‘D-» you think you could get to Mr. Steele’s ? I m n snre he would send his horse and man with you to town.’ ‘Yes, mother,’ Frank answered cheerfully; ‘I’ll run off directly.* Mrs Lee bundled him up in bis warm overcoat, tied a scarf over his cap, and with his heavy India-rub ber boots he felt ready for any kind of weather. He did not know how it R ave proved a tin g disease. T h e very bM t mediieal au t h o r i ty testifies to {lerm aneut cu r e s w h e re a il o th e r treatm e u t w a s abortive.

Up,to hw take^i knees he plunged at the first step ; but he went bravely on, climbed the gate, as he could not open it, and then stopped to wave hi * hand to his mother, who stood by the front window with Nelly in her arms, watching him as he plunged do^vn the road. He was quite ready to stop when he got to Mi. Steele’s; and as he warmed hy their great bright lire; fo/cl ais errand. “Now was any Idling over more un fortunate ?”said ^ood oldMi*s. Steele. ‘Here’s father been and lent the horse to oiir hired iiiiin to go over to Rockford to spend Simda}’, and fath er himself is more t'inn l>alf sick. I’ve had to give him imneset tea for two nights, aud he a’u’t fit to be ’round. Just you stay to supper and then go o\er to Timothy Brown’s, and I guess they’ll take you.’ But Frank would not stay to Slipper, though Mrs. Steele would lot let him go without a cup of hot tea, which certainly warmed him thoroughly before starting again. Alas! v.’lien he got to Timothy Brown’s he found it was waste ot time to stop there; Mr. Brown ^aid he wasn’t going to take his horse out such weatiier as that for Riiy- hody, not he. ‘W^oincn were always fussing,” he said ^ “the child will do well enough, no doubt; she only had a cold.” Frank opened his large hi no, eyes in Indign;uit SB ic, but^w.^ 3 ’too Mrs. Brown, half ashamed' of her husband’s cruelty, followed him' to the door to give him an excellent receipt, she was Sure would cure Nelly’s cold; but Frank, little fel low though he was, turned round on her indignantly, and said, “ Moth er told me Nelly was very sick and said she must have the doctor. No matter I ’ll go for him.” And the brave boy started oft*without anoth- word. Wearily he plodded through drift after drift. The snow blew n his face aud nearly blinded him. It grew darker and darker, and he could scarcely find his w’ay; but the lights of the village w’ere gleaming aliead, so he could not go very far wrong. At last, almost worn ont, he found himself at the doctor’s door; but here was another disappointment. The doctor was out. His kind lit tle wife, on Iiearing Frank’s sUry said at once, ‘I don’t know where my husband was going, except tlat he ment to be at Mr. Stebbin’s at half-past eight o’clock, the big house on the green, you know. You (un leave word for Iiiin there; of y*)u may wait for him there; and he will bring you home.’ So off again poor Frank started, this time however, more hopefub as he thought his walk was nearly ended.\ He knocked at Kr. Steb- bins* kitchen door, and left his mes sage, but from thoughtlessness or because all were miu/i occupied with the sickness of thf house, no one asked him to stay. ' May I come in i’ h e w k ^ timid ly, but the cook did • hear, and shut the door, pr^Oftbly without seeing him. standing un der the shelte*'®^ fbe house; but standing sti’ cold work he moved oi» ^ben he walked slowly, hoping^® doctor would soon over- but he went on and on plodding wearily up i street. The sidewalks Wc ed; but at a distance ahead «. he saw a strong young man bena. nnder the fury of the storm. H. started to overtake him, 1)^*^ fb man turned the corner where stood the grandest house of the place and was lost from sight in a moment. Frank called loudly ; but the man could not hear him, or if ho did he did not choose to halt. ‘Perhaps he went into the house,’ thought Frank, ‘and I might have gone in with himj, but it would have been loosing^ time, and the doctor might have ;'passcd by and missed me.’ And rso with almost a »b he plodded oi| until he was again ont on the country road, the drifts and the falling snow and the cold wind seeming to grow colder and deeper at every step of his acliing little feet. ' Sometimes he stopped a moment and listened, blit h elieard no sound of bolls.- Tlien he walked on slowly, and more slowly, until.such a weariness came over him, that, not being able to take another step, i he sank by the roadside. The po|)r boy luirdley felt the coldness 05. the snow, he hardly knew wlmr| he was, lie gre' more and inor^i:drowsy; faint thoughts of motbor and Nelly, of warm bed and b^^ising fire, came over him, and then fie .knew nothing more, but slept th<;|| dan^Tous sleep TnarcoBrAarwIrcs tf ’ a ing. And now we must go' back to poor Mrs. Lee. The hpurs passed very wearily for her, watching hei- sick child. At last she began to think it was time for her Frank to return. She listened for the sound of bells, but she only heard the roar of the wind ; she looked out of the window, strained her eyes in to the darkness, but she only- saw the branches swaying to and fro across the pane. Then she busied herself when Nelly was quiet for a moment, in building up the fire pil ing on fresh logs until the cheerful blaze shone far out of doors making a shining path on the snow. She hung dry clothes before the fire for her boy, often pausing |o listen, and then by her sick child’s cradle she prayed, with her face hidden in her hands, her whole frame trembled with emotion, and the sobs she tri ed to keep down so that she might not arouse little Nelly. Any .moth er will know what she p r a y ^ and what she thought. It was all she could d o ; but though it seemed as though she were doing nothing, she was really helping him more tlian if she had gone out to find him, for the kind Father in heaven can help and save when we can do nothing ourselves. So she felt at last when she heard a pounding at the kitchen door, and as she hurried to open it, the doctor’s cheeiy voice cried out, ‘Here’s your boy ma’am, though a little the worse for what he has suf fered. She held out her arms, she could not speak, and if it had not beqn for. the doctor’s words she would have thought Frank dead, he looked so cold and white with tight shut eyes. No, noj madam> cheer up, there’s life in h im ; warm him and rub him well, and he’ll c q m M in a little while.’ Aqd the doe^ turned to Though iiic long, long time t. he had once been, anu many weary days of watcnih^ ^ both her little ones. However by the time the snow had melted away, Nelly and Frank were rosy once more, and hardly looked as if they had been so near death.—Hearth and Home. ANAIiAB TBADITION. A writer in the Overland Month ly relates the following: ‘This tra dition, whieli I tell you,’ said Reis Hasseiti, ‘is many centuries old. It is that there was in Paradise a tem- ple bnilt up of precious stones. Man dare not utter its splendors. Deep in the midst of the palms of Eden it stood, angel built—a dazzling .sanc tuary. Our first parents sang their vesper songs in the twilight shadows of its courts; for there were pillow ed halls, and colistiirs of eiuerald and peral, where fountains sprang aloft iu the silent moc»n; aud long, luminous vistas, wimre, hand in in sillier bfeauty. Ilion, there were piiinacleS'.and domes of sapphire, bla-sing in the sunlight by day, and glittering in the starlight by night. From court and terrace watem well ed ont, and iris-crcsted cascades fell down to cool shady dells of aspho del below; for the temple was plac ed far within the privacies of that valley of Eden, whence the four riv ers flowing Eastward. However sad to relate I upon the day Adam fell, the glorious temple was shatter ed into a million fiagments, and sown broadcast over the earth.— These fragments we now light upon and gather up with cost and care, and call them rubies, emeralds, sap phires and diamonds. But they are all, after all, only the splinters of that primeval palace. The sun set splendors and the diadems of princes, the Milky Way in the heav ens, and tlm spray that sparkles in the entanglement of a maiden’s hair are, alike, but the costly dust of that lost sanctuary—the sad remember- ances of a departed Eden.” One of the most unique of all the rapid transit schemes yet invented has passed the Senate and has gone to a third reading in the Assembly. It is known as “Spier’s Traveling Side walk.” Tiie jdan is to build an endless movable platform on an el evated tranway, the motive power being from laige stationary steam engines undeiground. Tlie “side walk” is to be })crpetnally moving up one side and down the other at the rate of nine miles an hour.— Passengers are to be taken on or oft* the platform by means of transfer cars, without stopping the move ment of the train, if we may so call it. The bill provides for the con struction of a short section in this city, and leaves any luture extension to th e . approval, of Ae Common
