One night the your.g housekeeper waited

with fearlul loreliOilitif!.t ai her heart, uu

They were all faini even now, and tbe bojs
clamoring for their hteakl'ast. 1
Suildenly a thought caiua to tbe little
daughter, t'hc reim inhered having seeu
in the euffee-bouses young girls, uo taller
than he, waiting upon the customers !
l'erhaps they would try ber. "If they'

bandy, quick, aud paiieut, aud I would try j
o bard lu oblige." I am pretty, too, she.
niijiht truly have added, bad there beu ai
cpark of vanity in ber heart ; for she was'
a sweet child, with a brow like a auuuy I

She did go to tbe baker'a but ber pitiful

Rut the gentlemen had their overcoats

"Uo to the oup-boue," said one, at last,
more churlish than ibe rest. "Tbe city

It was a new idea to ber, aud as fast as

"Did jou get some?'' cried tbe boys,
(atbering about her, and pulling off her
cloak to see if it were bidden iu ber cloak
or under iicr arms.
" Did jou get some?" said two fiint Toi
ces from the bed iu the corner, and the

tier face paled as abe spoke it, and for
a few moments there was a wild wrestle in
her heart. Then .abe weut ou qiietly,

"thev ll worry about me so. My poor
mother will die if she thinks I'm lost."

aaid he, gruffly. "Had news is like light

"Ob, dear I oh, dear I What will bo
Come of lliein ?" aod she sobbed aloud.
A little girl about ber age was passing
by a 1 1 oil man's child you would kuow
it by the embroidered dress aud cloak, tbe
rieb veltel hood, and the costly fur tippet
and mull. Hut there was no false pride
bidden under the expensive raiment; a
warm besrt was beating there, and its
sympathies weut out far towards the poor
little prisoner. For a moment she paused,
as if irresolute upon her plan of actiou ;
then lating her mitteued band gently ou
tbe otliotr's, she snid politely I
"May 1 spcitk with her ?"
"O, yei ; sho's not committed jet."
Putting: her soft rosy cheek close to tbe
purple cold one, she whispered very ear
nestly. Maria told her a touching story ;
and begged she would, by the love she
bore ber mother, to liud out her humble
borne, and comfort the distressed oues.
"I will, I will," said the stranger ear
h. s ly ; "und d.ou't you cry any moie ; my
father knows the judo, and he'll get you
away to tuorro, Good bye keep up a
good heart " aud oil she raD.
She kuew her mother to be one of the
most charitable of women, aud hastened
botne to lell ber tbe story of Miria; oui
unfortunately, sho bad just gone lo ride,
and would not be back till near dinner
time.
"What can I do?" she cied, aud wrun
bet bauds.
"Tbey want ooal, and bread, and tea,
andsomauy I hi tig, audi bave only tcu
ceuls iii my pocket.'
Cttic sat down on tho marble steps and
pondered. All at once ber eyes brijjiiteued
and a beautiful color flushed her face.
"I 11 do it," sho said resolutely, "mam
ma will forgive me, when abe knows all.

into the iuuer room, saying he would call

Her heart fl ittsred while she waited, but
her resolution did not fail her.
"Ah I it ia my little Theresa j" and Mon
etur li took her band kindly. "Good
morning, dear. Come to have your ring
lets dressed for the bill to niiibt tio ?"
as she shook her head, "why not: you yo
certainly you are one of Moi.sieur's beat
pupils. Wbatia it, then, my dear!
