The Widow ’ s Mite. It was the last night of the year. The widow Bruges sat alone in her apart ment — for she rented but one* and that was a small and scantily furnished room though she managed to mate it look quite spacious and comfortable by the disposition of its furniture — gazing into the embers, wbioh,though they wore fast expiring, still sent out a gonial warmth. Her work —a bit of nieg embroidery- had dropped into the clean white hand kerchief which was spread over her lop, and her head was resting on her hand ; - her task iraiggipear jpompleted thiit she indulged tferieW in a luxury she was but little accustomed to — a moment ’ s cessa tion from toil. The light of the lamp, which fell partially on her face, revealed a countenance deeply marked with sor row and care ; but that face was youth ful still, and grief had not banished beauty from those features — it had but thrown over them a vail which concealed their sparkling brilliancy, while it made their loveliness more charming. Tho pensiveness and quiet submission re vealed in tlie depth of these large, lus trous, black eyes, the calmness and deep thought of that white brow, and the emyio of benevolence which played 'around that mouth — it was hard for those features to learn thus to look ; the soul was almost crushed before it would for get its pride; but now heaven ’ s seal was impressed upon that countenance so .deeply that it could never bo obliterated. Alone l. no, the widow was not alone in her apartment. On tho humblc couch lay a child of seven years, sweetly slum bering. The little girl did notmucli re semble her mother in her features, though to the heart of her parent she was only the more dear for that ; for in that sweqt little face she had over before her the perfect miniature of him whom she loved so well, but so unwisely.- She loved her the more fondly for that ; for though there had been moments when she invoked hftavon ’ s bitterest curses on him who had squandered her wealth at the dram-shop and the gambling table, and ’ viad cruelly neglected, and finally deserted her and her babe — she bad long ego buried the remembrance of his crimes, and thought only of the few brief years when they were happy to night ’ s shelter, or something which would procure Him one. Tho former, Mrs. Bruges could not give ; and the latter- ---- . She looked np the narrow alley where she lived, to the wide steeet which ran along at its head. The dwellings of the wealthy were there. She saw the costly edifices, through whose riohly-eurtained windows the-brilliant lights wore gleaming • and thought how easily the dwellers beneath those roofs could make the poor creature comfortable. But she hesitated only for a brief instant ; ■ and then, 'stepping back into her apartment, she' picked up the bit of silver lying on the table. Poor little Annot, she had fallen asleep while talking of the pretty present mam ma would buy for her to-morrow ; she could not remember ever having received one before, and-she had kissed the piece of silver a thousand times during the day, in anticipation of what it would bring her. The widow glanced on the coin which the child had, with a sharp- pointed instrument scratched her name in quite legible' characters ; and she brushed a tear from her eye as she thought of the disappointment in store for her. The hand that was outstretched to re- ’ cojvo the pittance, sensibly trembled. “ It is the poor widow ’ s mite: ” said Mrs. Bruges; \do not spend it for what will make you more wretched than you now ore.\ The fingers closed over it, and the man I turned riway and walked rapidly down the street, though now and then he cheeked his speed for an instant, aud muttered indistiuetly to himself. At the end of a few minutes he stood hoforo tho door of a miserable rum-shop aud looked through the toru wiudow curtain into the room, where a drunken, half-idiot group wero gathered around an old rickety table, busied with a game of haz ard. — - Tho man was now Holier, mid ns ho gazed on those faces, purple and bloated, or of a- deathly pallor, those tottering forms, .and those wildly staringeyes, and listened to the deep oaths, and.tho fiend ish laugh, uttered by those tremulous voices — his better feelings awoke. His' uplifted hand fell from tliq door-latch, and lfo averted his eyes from the wretch ed group ; but tho faoo of their comrade had been seen through tho window, and before he had quite decided to turn away from the spot, twf) or three of the more sober of thq company were drugging him into tho shop. ' The man did not go very reluctantly, but when he had entered the room ho kindly extended towards him, left the 1 room, he added, addressing his partners “ I will be surety for iiim. He is a reclaimed man. ” * Half an hour afterwards, the individ ual stood again at the door of the widow Bruges. He had approached the dwell ing with a more cautious tread than be fore, but perhaps the sound of his steps had reached her ; for as he stood on the threshold, she came to the window, and lifting tho curtain, looked out into the street. Bhe did not observe him, but he obtained a glimpse of her fane and fig ure. That tail, delicate form, that white brow, and that raven hair, — it was she ! and as she again lot fall the curtain, he pushed open the unbarred door, and stepped within the apartment. The widow was startled ; she .raised her head suddenly, for it had been bowed over the couch of her sleeping child ; but she uttered no shriek. There was something in, that figure which stood be fore ’ her, aud which she recognized as the came, who, two hours before, had solicited her ohnrity — that held her si lent and spell-bound. Did her eyes de ceive her, or was she dreaming ? Tho man pushed liis hat from his head, and brushed the hair from his high, broad brow, and then ho sank ou one knee before the lady, and murmured in broken toiies — “ Annot, can y ou forgive mo, aud will you be mine again ?” The widow — no, Mrs. Bruges wan nb longer a widow, for it was her husband who was kneeling before her. Tho re port of his death which had reached liar years age, was unfounded — Mrs, Bruges wound her arms around that repentant man, and presseStTher lips to his. \Do you see how wretched I am ? ’ ’ asked tho man, striyiug to check her A Burning Coal Mine. It is a good thing for the mine inter ests ia.the vicinity of PittMon, Pn., that the fire in the Sutler real works is out off so that it onhuot extend to other veins.

It is a splendid feat of engineering, having set up a formidalfKi barrier against the progress of a fire that could not fail to carry its underground destruction throughout an Important portion of tho Wyoming eoaUleld. As it is, no le than quo hundred and fifty acres have succumbed to t^e seething element, and it is estimated that nearly half a million tons of coal have beeu consumed, much of which, were it not for tho tire, could hove been reeefBectl bv (he system known in miningparlonoeaB \robbingpillars ’ * or taking out tho oou] left to support tlie roof during tlje^flrst process of mining.

The night was cold, the snow lay thick on tho earth, and the wind was sweeping about her dwelling. She thought of the hundreds in the great city who wore that - night suffering from hunger and odd, lind her heart went up to heaven in grati tude for the mercies with which it had surrounded her. It was true, all the money she possessed on earth was a bit of .silver lying on the table beside her ; and Ijiat she had promised little Annot sheutd purchase her, on the morrow, a New Year ’ s gift. But then her rent for pert qnarter was paid, she had fuel ; ^d provisions enough to last her for •V* 'w next fortnight, and the work she had BO nearly completed would bring her a scanty, hut sure pay. i The widow was thankfnl, for she knew what utter desti tution was. The wind moaned more loudly and sadly about her dwelling. Heaven have mercy on the poor to night, and may not tlie cry for- charity I upon a, deafoned ear ! ” i A s her lips mnrmhred the prayer, there was p heavy footfall behind her window, fallowed by a quick tap at the door; and aa the widow opened it, a . . - i uni of) i a with an eld hat drawn down over his •J*** rtoofl Wore her, and begged for a roly grasp with farvof the hand so hiipsclf. His cheek, habitually so pale, crimsoned with slmmo ; not because tlie eyes of thqse miserable men wero up on him, but awakened conseieuee was whispering iu his car iu tones that sent his blood liken fiery torrout through his veins. For half an hour, nearly, he ent there silent, but writhing in bitter agony while his rqmpauipus, who liadforgotteu his preseuco,. continued their drinking aud play ; that is, those of them who hud not fallen to tho floor, overcome with their deep potations. At length the man shook off those terrible thoughts — his appetite had conquered! He took from his pocket tlje bit of silver which tho poor widow had given him. It was an old coin, aud its in scription was very nearly obliterated, and ho drew near the light to ascertain its value. For an instaut his eye gazed upon it with a strange expression, aud then it fell to the iloor, while an excla mation, sueli as silenced the noisy group in the shop, and made thorn pause in their play, burst from his lips ; but be fore they had time to inquire tho cause of his sudden emotion, the man picked lip the silver, aud rushed out of tho shop. In an incredible short space of time, considering tho distance he bad to walk, the same individual stepped into one of the largest and most fashionable dry goods stores in the city. A half-sup pressed titter was heard among tho younger clerks as ho made his appear ance, but the man did not seem to hoar it; he walked on with a firm, quickstep, till he reached the counting-room, where tho owners of tho establishment were arranging their accounts. He paused then, and ii look of shame and degrada tion stole over that face which nature bad made noble hind handsome, as the mild blue eyes of the senior porter wore fixed on his countenance. \Why are you hero again? I have told you already wo cannot employ you I ” There was pity in the old gen tleman ’ s tone, but his voice was firm. \If you would promise wlmt we require, there is no one we could sooner trust j\ “ I will promise I ” said the man quickly and firmly. “ I will sign the pledge, Mr. Compton ! ” i Tlie old gentleman drew forth from the desk a paper, on which was a list pf names, which his own and those of his partners, headed; tho name of every man in his employ was tlieifo. The man took the paper, and in large, bold obaruoters, added his name to the list, while Mr. Crompton looked over his shoulder. \George you will never break that pledge, ” he said ; “ there is something in your look and manner which assures of it 1 Take this,\ and drawing from his pocket-book a small roll of bills, he placed them in the man ’ s hand — \and get yon some suitable clothing.

Mrs. Brngea no longer ocoupioa it single room in a dirty alley. Him resides in a hand some tenement in a respectful part of the oily, and she is so happy now that side, marking out the path of the fire. From these the sipoko imd sulphur issue in stilling volumca, giving some faint idea of a Vosuvian soeno and showing how fioicoly tho fire must be raging iu the mine beneath at a depth of fifty font. Mine Inspector Jones, one of Hie most eocporienccd men iu thin section; -gave it as his opinion that one of tho results which was likely to attend tlie lire, had it not been combated by some snob i>luu as that of Mr. Conrad, was that of pene trating through tlie works of the.

It is doubtful, however, if it is over quite obliterated from her memory, for iu a beautiful vase which occupies a oolnqiiou- oub place in hor parlor, lies an old silver coin ou whoso smooth faoo tlie name of her eldest child is rudely scratched ; aud her husband, now a partner in the firm of which Mr. Compton is still the senior, points almost daily to the bit of silver, which he calls the widow ’ s mite, and blesses the hand which bestowed the pittance on the poo? inebriate. The other day, soon after a Detroit woman had decided to build a big straw berry shortcake for supper, she heard tile musical voice of a peddler crying in the wilderness, \Great big strawberries — eight cents a ipiurl -three quarts for twenty-five cents. ” “ Nothing like tak ing advantage of discounts, ” said the Woman, aa sho ran for a dish ; aud in three minutes ahe hud her lliroo quarts of ‘ berries, and t lie peddler had her sil ver quarter, Time punned on. She sat iu a rooking-eliair picking over the lus cious fruit, when all of a suildou she turned pale and licgtui breathing hard.

Keep bottle and mouthpiece in a bowl of water when not iu use, to which a little soda yuay be 1 added, ” For iufnuls five or six months old, givo half barley water and half hulled milk, with salt and a lump of sugar. For older infants, givo more milk than barley water. For iufimts very oostive, give oatmeal instead of barley, (look and strain ss before. Wlfion your breast milk is only half enough, change off between breast milk and this prepared food. In hot weather, if blue litmus paper, applied to tlie food, turns rod, the food is too aoid, and you must make a fresh mess, or odd a small pinch of baking soda. Infants of six mouths may have beef tea or beef soup oneo a day, by itself, or mixed with other food ; and when ten or twelve mouths old, a orunt of broad aud a piece of rare boot to suck.

At yTipperiiry, Ireland, a serious fac tion fight has existed for over fortyyears between the Mnddenti mid the Gariys, Berious assaults have takou^ilaco be tween the belligerents, and whenever they meet trouble occurs.

Perhaps some one will innocently im- agiqo that these fights spring from polit ical antagonism ; that the parties are somewhat akin toOmigomqn and Catho lics, Nothing of the kind. Tho origan of this feud between the Maddens and Gnrtys dates nearly forty years back, when a conlest arose between the inter esting representatives of the respective families of that day, whether a certain bull of local renown was three or four years old. Hence tlie names given to the respective factions, who have mnih- taineil the quarrel with a pertinacious ferocity in tlie inverse ratio of tho im portance of its oAuse. suddenly ..developed itself on her fore head.

When we kept COO fowls our selves, embracing eight or ten different breeds, aud counted the eggs daily, year after year, we averaged never over 180 eggs per hen per year, and in some in stances as low oa 116.

If any one doubts this let him notice the , juvenile 'incidents of New York city. Here is a group of youths under twelve, who place a stono on tho track of the Elevated Railroad in order to throw tho train to the kldewalk. Be ing arrested, one ef them in reply to the question, “ Did yon hot expect to get something? ” said : “ f thought if 1 seed a dead man ooming down I might get his watch, ” Another youth, aged seven teen, is.arrested for threatening tho life of.his mother, and being sent to tlie pep. itentiory, shouts to the magistrate, \ 1*11 boil her np in vitriol yet. ” Another, wlm in sweet sixteen, is arrested for de stroying his mother ’ s clothes, being iu the very act when the hand of tho officer is laid upon him. Here, too, are a half dozen cases of boys shooting oaoh other with pistols. The Hi nine of Refuge, us well aa the protectories and reforma tories, is crammed, mid au increase in accommodntiou is winded. If the In quiry be made as to the cause of this, tlie only correct reply is that tho poor have uo homes and their childreu aw educated iu the street, ’ What can bo expected of tlie families of drunken par ents, aud in Now York city almost every- body dripka. The street Arabs are as savage as Mqdocs, aud it is surprising that greater end more frequent outrages are pot committed. — The weather is frequently too warm for work, but it is never too hot for n bo*t-r*o* or a riflo-mstch, — illies, A Hartford pnjier says ; \ Iiast sum mer, Willie Chief of Pollen Glmmbntlain was on a visit to lllook Island, ho discov ered a rare lot of white poml lilies, mid believing he could transplant mid do- mostioate them in Ids yard, he secured a number of the plants, carefully notic ing as they were pulled from the earth, what depth of soil the loots took.
