Ilow glad I am as I sit hy my crackling, blazing fire, tliat I need not j^ut my head out of the •door to day ! II oav sadly I think of jioor little children with frozen feet and blue pinched facus, wandering homeless in city streets* or liuddling o^ether in lio/on garrets and di'cary cellars, trying vainly to warm themselves over a half <leail lire. As 1 think of them, there comes to 1113'' mind the story of wliat hap pened once to a little hoy just such another ida)H lie lived with hiS father and mother and bab)\ sister in a little eoKage about a mile and a half frum* the litllc village ol W ----- , which is vmy far north, in H part of tlie country where the snow storms are ‘erriblc. They I kept no siawant, hoy were quite no- : V '• '■ \ /jifheiy, Mr. Lee, went.;^ - j to spend Sun day with his brotlier, w'ho lived about fifteen miles off, the little bo3' left to take care of Ids rnotlier and bahy Nelly. Very proud and grand he fell, pariiciihirly as he was to stay with Nelly while his nioth- er went to church ; and he had nev er been allowed to do tliat before, Hnton Siimlay, wben be came down tu build llie fire, be saw it wa^ snowing veiy fast; and it snow ed all thiy until the great drifts peeped at each other over the fences, and pressed so hard against tlie back door of the cottage that there was no opening- it. 1 ‘Vunk ivas left to himself very much that day, for Nelly was ail ing, and lay lialf awake on her mother’s knee, peevish and fretful. Her fever kept increasing fast, and just at nightfall the poor little thing grew much worse; and tlie .mother knew that a doctor must see her, or porha[»s, 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 f.r 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’—hut here she stopped for a moment. ‘D > you think you could get to Mr. Steele’s ? I-am sure he would send his horse and man with yon to town.’ ‘Yes, mother/^. Frank ansvfered eheeifiilly; ‘I’ll run off direetly.’ Mi-s Lee bundled him up in his warm overcoat, tied a scarf over his eap, and with his heavy Itidiahrnb- ber boots he felt ready for any kind of weather. He did not knew ^ how knees he plunged at the first step ; but he went bravely on, climbed the gate, as he could not open it, and fhen stopped to wave hi ^ hand to his mother, who stood by the front window with Nelly in her arras, watching him as he plunged dovm the road. He was quite ready to stop when he got to Mi. Steele’s; and as he warmed aimst*!* )jy their great briglit fire,'». j tolG his errand. “Now was aiiyibing over more un fortunate ?”said ^ood old Mrs. Steele. “Here’s father been and lent the horse to our lilred man to go over to Rockford to spend Simdajq and fath er himself is more t'iim half sick. I’ve had to give him iuineset tea for two nights, and he a’u’t fit to be ’round. Just you stay to supper and tfien go o\er to Timothy Brown’s, and I guess they’ll take you.’ But Frank would not stay to supper, though Mrs. Steele ivonld not let liim go withoiii a cup of hot tea, which certainly warmed him thoi-onghly before starting again. Alas ! wlien 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 weather as that for auy- hod}^ not he. ‘Women were always fussing,” he said ^ “ the child will do well enough, no doubt; she only had a cold.” Frank opened liis large hian eyes in indigniuit, su le, but Wifis’too mi idis..^; ‘sa^ Mi's. Brown, halt ashamed of her husband’s cruelt}^ 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 off'without anoth- word. Wearily lie plodded through drift after drift. The snow blew n his face and nearly blinded him. It grew darker and darker, and he could scarcely find his way,; but tlie lights of the village were gleaming ahead, so he could not go very far wrong. At hast, almost worn out, he found himself at the doctor’s door; but liere was another disappointment. The doctor was out. His kind lit tle wife, on hearing Frank’s st(>ry said at once, ‘I don’t know where my husband was going, except tlat he meiit to be at Mr. Btebbin’s at lialf-past eiglit o’clock, the big house on the green, you know. You cm leave word for him there; of you may wait for him there; and he will bring you borne.’ So off again poor Frank started this time however, more hopeful, as he thought his walk was nearly ended.' He knocked at Kr. Steb- blns’ kitchen door, and left his mes sage, but from thonghfiessness or because all were muc^i ocetipied with the sickness of thf house, iia one asked hini to stay. ^ ' ‘May I come in P hqaskep timid ly, blit the cook did n/t bear, and shut the standing sti’ such cold work he moved oi> i'^Bn he walked slowly, hopingwould soon ovei'* Idtt. but he iV A T lt A ii a - n d U l W c a t l l i c i .

H. started to overtake him, tb man turned the corner where stood the grandest house of tlie 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 him,,', but it ivoiild have been loosing V time, and the doctor might have {passed by and missed me.’ And reo with almost a sob he plodded oi| until he was again out 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 aching little feet. Sometimes he stopped a moment and listened, but li elieard no sound of bells. Then ho walked on slowly, and more slowly, until.such a weariness came over liim, that, no^ being able to take another step, t lie sank by the roadside. The p(|)r boy hardley felt the coldness o | the snow, lie hardly knew wli^r| he was, he grew more ■ and mor§ Mrowsy; faint thoughts of mother ajid Nelly, of a warm bed and b^fi^ing fire, came over-liim, and then be knew nothing more, bat slept thqdang^roua sleep 'inaiAjom'ierwIr'oif'a i»g- And now we must go' back to poor Mrs. Lee. The hpurs passed very wearily for her, wfttcliing her sick child. At last she began to lliink it was time for Iier.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 fo listen, and then by her sick child’s cradle she prayed, with her face hidden in her hands, her wliole frame trembled with emotion, and the sobs she tri ed to keep down so tliat she might not arouse little Nelly. Any .moth er will know what she prayed and what she thought. It was all she could d o ; but tholigh it seemed as though she were doing nothing, she was really helping him more than if she had gone out to find him, for the kind Father in heaven can help and save when we can do nothing oui-selves. So she felt at last when she heard a pounding at the kitchen door, and as she hurried to open it, the doctor’s chee^ voice cried out, ‘Here’s your-boy ma’am, though a lit|Ie tlie worse for what lie has suL fered, She held out her arms, she could diot speak, and if it had not Though iiic long, long time l he had once been, aiiu many weary days of watcniii^ ^ both her little ones. However hy , the time the snow had melted away, Nelly and Frank were rosy pnee more, and hardly looked as if they had been so near deatli.—Ilearth and Home. AH ARAB TRADITION. A writer in the Overland Month ly relates the following: ‘This tra dition, which I tell you,’ said Keis Hasseiii, ‘is many centuries old. It is that there was in Paradise a tem- ple biiilt 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 colistors of emerald and peral, where fountains sprang aloft in the si'ent moon; and long, luminous vistas, whqre, hand in t p . f f t d in sinless bfeanty. there were pinnacle^-and domes of sapphire, blazing in the sunlight by day, and glittering in the starlight by night. From court and terrace waters well ed out, and iris-crested cascades fell down to cool shady dells of aspho del below ; for the temple was plac ed far witliin the privacies of that valley of Edeu, whenee the foiir riv ers flowing Eastward. Hoiwever sad to relate! upon the da;^ Adara fell, the glorious temple was shatter ed into a million fragments^ and sown broadcast over the c^th,— These fragments we.flow % h t upon and gather up with cost ai^d^ ‘care, and call tJiem rubies, emerald^, sap phires and diamonds. But they are all, after all, only the splmters of that primeval palace. Thc| sun set splendors and the diadefos of princes, the Milky Way in thej heav ens, and the spray that spairkles in the entanglement of a maiden s hair are, alike, but the costly dust 6f that lost sanctuary—the sad remember- ances of a departed Eden.” ------------ I ---------------------- - ■ been for the doetorV words she seeinghiifi. iB ^ B d standing l ^ M socold and white with tight ^ dec the shelte’'Of the house ; b u t eyes.
