faeed iuollier .tcile aeross his lonely life,
and llirn',i''!i tlic silent niulit-watelies
eame a voice tenjirly callinj.': "Willie,
son; eonie liotue."
Stolen from liis widowed mother hy a
baud of 'yp.-ies in a distant State, wlieu
a few years old, lie bad wandered hither
with them.
And then, forsaken by tbeiu iu a fit of
illu.'ss, he bad been left on the steps of
Mr. Hulfoiir's palatial house.
His life bad been bard and loveless
when with his captors; but since Hiram
liall'our took biiu in for "what he could
do," and the kind, niolheily wile had
lied, bis life had been full of bitter
ness.
"He lively there, or you lepeut it!"
bouted a roui;h voice from the doorway,
aud the little fellow bent lower over bis
saw while the great tears dropped down
ou the heavy oak stick be was cutting in
twain.
Then the man in the doorway came
out and measuring off a heap of sticks
aid: ''These you must convert into
wood to day. And if, when I return to
night, it is not completed I'll whip you
within an inch of your life." lie went
away and Willie was left alone with his
little heait teady to break with its weight
of imkinJncss
"I kuow I shall fail," he sobbed. ' (
I wish 1 might die! Why can't 1?"
hcmoauid. "Other children do; little
lyswilh lieb, loving papas, too, while
I have to live to be beaten by Mr. Bal
four. 0, dear, I wonder why (iod took
Auntie llalliiur away I'lom tuc; she loved
me anil was kinil !
U the end of an bourtbe weary bauds
let go the saw and Willie crept awayiuto
the corner of the gardt u and nestled
own in the c ol grass to rest. Closing
bis eyes he lay ipiite still, thinking
I'lore Klrange thoughts Hilling through
his liitle brain, lie sat up and looked
about hi Hi caulioiisl); possibilities which
hud never dawned to him tvforc eaiue to
li i in uow, Mid he caught his breath at
the bold idea.
I am going g' ing to run nwaj!"
he whispered, hoarsely. "Maybe I can
find mamma." And through tho suhry
summer air 8..uted something like an in
spiration; sweetly, tenderly it came;
Willie, son."
"What if iL'tiMiison seen me," be
miirmered, frightened ut I he I bought as he
beheld the gardener busy with his tools
few yards away.
But over the fence there was the road
leading to the city, and it w.i-n'l far
(here, and once iu it bethought be could
dodge anybody. Ml. llalfour bad gone
the other way, farther into the cmon
and be Wouldn't meet hiul. Yes, hi
would run away!
Je lAii sun's back was toward him.
and he knew where there was a board
of) the fence, and ho could slip out nml
no one could see biiu. If he ever uieunl
to go it might as well be now.
"God help me to gi t away from Mr
Balfour," prayed the child, an he cr pi
sl)ly through the opening. "0, nij!"
Could he do it? Yes, be could.
The blue sky smiled above him, the
birds ang merrily in tho tree by the
wayside, and everything seemed glad
that be bad gotten thus far.
Ou and on be trudg d toward the city
tho day grew hotter and a pain came in
to his temples. The city, it must bo a
hundred miles from Mr. Balfour s; bed
beard tbem say it was ten miles, but be
beliovcd ho had gone further than that
now. Hishoad thrjbbad and be was
to hungry, but after all it wasn't so bad
at to be whipped it n';(ht.
A sound of wheels came to bis ear.
Was it Mr. Balfour coming after him?
0, dear! But no; it was a kindly woman
in a carriage who stopped beside him to
a.-k: "Don't you wish to ride? Y'ou're
tired to death, uiy little man."
"Yea'm, I'm 'most dead," xuidly Wil
lie, faintly; "but I must reach the city
before night."
"Well, I'm going there," s.iid the la
dy. "I live iu the city."
He climbed into the carriage and she
let the curtain down on his side to keep
out the sun and make him comfortable.
After looking him over curiously for
some minutes the woman asked: "Aren't
you running away from somebody, or
has some one sent you adrift.
The child began to cry. ''I'm run
ning away, yes' in," he confesssed; "But
Mr. Balfour whips me so I I can't
slay. (1, I want my mamma?"
The womau put her arm about him,
soothingly. "Never uiiud," she said,
"don't cry. What does he whip you
for?"
"Because I can't do enough of work,"
sobbed the boy.
"Who is Mr, Balfour; your uncle?" she
asked.
"No. ma'atn; he's the man I'm living
with, and my mamma's way off some
where, I don't know where. And, 0,
my bead aches so!" Another torrent of
tears put an end to further words.
"lie's an old villaiu!" muttered the
woman; "aud be won't see you agaiu if
I can help it. Here, lay your bead in
my lap mid rest."
Willie put bis hot, aching bead down
on her knee and soon fell asleep, while
the kind hearted woniau smoothed bis
tangled curls aud pondered.
Jeiikinson saw the child creep stealth
ily through the broken panel, aud weut
over to watch him. By hid movements
be divined the boy's intentions, and
sighed as Willie's little straw hat bobbed
out of sight. "Let him go," said be,
"and may the good God keep old Bal
four from ever hearing of him again.
Father in Heaven, take him to a good
home!"
The gardener went back to his woik,
and at night when Mr. Balfour came
home the boy could uot be found.
After storming around considerably
the old man said: "Well, let him go.
Somebody will pick him up and get pes
tered to death with him as I li ive been .
This picking up waifs always proves to
beu thankless business."
When Willie awoke he was being
lifted out of the carriage by a man wilh
a pleasant face, and the woman was say
ing: "Take him iu aud give him some
thing to eat. He's a little bey I found.
An orphan wiihout a home."
They were so kind to bin), aud the
milk and stiawberrics with his bread and
butter were delicious.
"Does your bead ache now?" asked the
lady, us she tucked him away in a coft,
downy bed.
No, ma'am. Won't you kiss me
like mamma used to at bed time?" he
asked, wistfully.
To be sure," said she. "I baveu't
had any little boys for so long that 1 lor
got bow to put them to bed." And her
voice souuded teuderly and full of tears.
"What is your name? ' she asked, in
she kissed him and twined a stray curl
around her linger while she sat beside the
bed.
"Willie, 1 gu,ss."
"Y'ou guess! Don't you know, child?
What is your other name, your mamma's
ine?"
"I don't know," he replied, sleepily;
"ouly Willie, I guess. Mamma called
me 'Willie, sou,' but when the ugly
folks lied a cloth over my mouth and
took ine off into the woods, why, I for
got the rest."
"Took you off?'' exclaimed the wo
man; "why, 1 tliougnt .ur. tiaiiour kept
you?"
Yes'm; wbeu I got sick they left me
at Mr. Balfour's gate, aud I've lived
I here two years about.
A str.iuge, perplexed look came into
the motherly face lookiug down on the
lircd child who went to sleep wilh lire
last wold on bis lips.
Then she tiptoed out of the room into
I lie uext, and taking a key from the
wall unlocked a drawer, all the while say
ing ti) herself: "I wondor if ii'n possi
ble; I wonder if it is?"
After a few moment's search she took
up carefully a Well worn paper aud went
hack to the bedside of the litile stran
ger. Turninv to a paragraph she read:
"Lol; a little boy four yenis oi l, wilh
brown, curly hair aud large black eye',
aud bears ou bis li ft anil just above the
elbo a birth-mark a little purple an
chor. His name is Willie Yanfersnii,
and, the only child of his widowed moth
er, bis absence is doubly terrible."
"I forgot -oho it the birth mark," she
gusped, breathlessly kneeling hy the
couch, and, unbuttoning tho faded sleeve
rolled it above tho dimpled elbow.
There, sure enough, just as described,
was a litile purple auehor. "God be
praised!" she said, while tho teats rolled
down her face. "It's Winifred's child,"
and she kissed him hungrily.
Ho (liired in his sleep and whispered:
"Mamma, ")es, darling, you shall go
to in :i ti i ui a to morrow!" And she went
down stairs wilh a great joy shining in
her face.
"Leonard! Leonard!" she cried, joy
ously, shaking the arm of the man doz
ing iu the arm-chair.
"What do you say, Elsie?" he asked,
rubbing his eyes.
"I've found Winifred's boy," she said,
joyously, and then in an incoherent way
she told him all about the child.
Together they sought the unconscious
Willie and rejoiced over him. Far into
the night they sat by the sleeper and
planned a joyful surprise for the widow
ed sister.
Tivo days later, in the eventide, Elsie
and her husband reached u little New
England village, and with Willie be
tween them they turned into asidestreet
and walked toward a tiny cottage nearly
embowered in vines.
There was a light burning low in the
bed room, and peeping through the
blinds they beheld the mother kneeling
by the couch with her bead buried in the
pillows, evidently iu prayer.
"Go to mamma," whispered Elsie
Freeland between her sobs of joyful ex
citement, and she pushed Willie inside
the bumble door. Approaeliiug the
kneeling figure the little child stole bis
arms around the bowed ncek and whis
pered: "Mamiua!"
A pale, weaiy face looked up iu tear
ful surprise for a moment; then a gleam
joy, heavenly in expression, came over
the thin face, like the light of the Throne
and, clasping the child to her heart, she
kissed him rapturoudy in silent happi
ness, the deepest and sweetest of all.
Then raising her streaming eyes to Heav
en she said, "Lird. I thank Thee; I
knew Thou wouldst in Thine own good
time send my darling back to me."
"'es. maiunia," said the child, "I am
your own Wil'ie. Aunt Elsie and I'u-
cle Leonard brought ni'j 'cause the Sav
iour wanted them to; there they are."
An 1 clasping her child to her heart
she turned to meet the happy counte
nances of her brother and his wife.

HOW TO KEEP A RAZOR SHARP.
A II Ml I! Ell N.IV.S HOST ll.MtKS .!,'
Ill III' ACA'.s.vli: .S77.M7'
.V'. We often have amateut shavers bring
us their raz irs to be fix - J up. Almot
my man with a steady h ind can shave
himself, but not one iu fifty can keep
bis razor in decent condition. The first
reason is that amateurs wear all the tem
per out of their razors by excessive
strapping, and the hotter the sled the
easier it is effected in this way. The
ouly leinedy is to let it alone. Put away
the razor that scrapes and cuts the skin
and give it a good rest. 'J'lun use it
agaiu, and iu all robability it will be in
;ood shape.
Some of the modern shaving sets have
is many razors as there are days in the
week, and on (he handle of each is en
graved the name of a day. If the rota
tion is kept up very little sharpening is
needed. 1 have kuowu men talk of pet
azors which they have usedj every day
for years; if they would let these lie by
for a while they would find a Welcoiu :
improvement. The second cause of the
trouble is bearing on the razor while
sharpening it. Never attempt to put on
an edge before shaving. When you are
through rub the blade lightly a few limes
ou a plain lea: lor strap, whieli need uot
cost more than a ipiarttr, and then put
away. The old boiling water cr.izi is
exploded now, and professionals do ju-t
:ood work with cold watir as hot.

At Long Branch, Ella Clayton,
school uirl iu short dresses, and whosti
lacks two months of being fourteen yiais
of aire, was tuariied on Sunday last to
Albert Phillips, a farmer fifty-six years
old. This marriage curiously compli
cates the relationship of the two families.
Cytenios Clajlon, the father of the bride,
married a daughter of Mt. Phillips, the
groom, a few years ago.
By the marriage of Clayton's daugh
ter to the father of liU wife, Ella Clayton
becomes her father's stipniolherau-law.
Phillip's daughter, who married Clayton,
also becomes In r fallal's stepmother -inlaw.
Each of the men is the father-in-law
of the elhir, and each of the women
is the stcpuc tlier of the oilier. Each
of ibe men hi rutins bis daughter's step
son, it u it caeh of the women becomes,
therefore, the granddaughter of herself.

HOW TO BE UNHAPPY.
THE EARTH IS SOT ALIA IIEI) OF
HOSES, Itrr THY TO HE II WHY.
If you wish to be miserable, thiuk
about what you might have been under
certain circuinstauces, ami what you have
lost by a course of conduct which you
vainly endeavored to give another direc
tion. Talk over all your failures and de
feats, and be sure to paint the future in a
dead-leaf lint or wilh the brown of the
twilight's curtain. Never talk of your
mole hill gains, but ever of your moun
tain losses. This is what the coward
does who skulks into dark corners, and is
afraid to come out into the broad sunlight
lest he should feel a gleam of it iu his
doubling heart and hopes for better
tilings.
It is the brave man who resolves, with
true heroism, to break dowu all barriers,
aud cleave his way over the ruts and
rocks that lie in every man's path. He
laughs at the briers and brambles that
trip 1 1 i ai at eviry step, and meriily whis
tles as be staggers and stumbles over the
stony way until he emerges into the
smooth, unobstructed thoroughfare.
This eai lli is not all a bed of roses, and
he who sears above his impediments and
sets his foot upon discouragements will
come out stronger, wiser, and belter for
all the opposition. Struggle to main
tain your integrity, even though there
should be no acquisition of gold in the
meanwhile, remembering that the loss of
the latter commodity somcliiues leaves a
man more iu the fashioning of the Di
vine mould than its possession found
him.
Iu the ocean's storm how often is the
noble ship's cargo cast iuto the sea that
she may be brought safe to port, aud
thus it is with man, be carries his burden
of earthly dross up thorough sleeps of
life, miserable lest some false steps may
burl it and its bean r ovet the frightful
precipice that threatens his destruction.
He will not let it go; it is bis earthly
treasure, aud its hoarding has left him
unhappy iu all the years he has left be
hind. He has built bis hopes and his
fair name upou the glittering thing, and
cannot give it up. Ah ! well ! there is
a time coming vlien he must relinquish
bis claim upon this perishable aud paltry
treasure, for "shrouds have no pockets";
uud in grasping for this "filthy lucre" he
may have lost the true riches, without
which he is eternally bankrupt.
Our riches, our fame, our honors, our
healili. uur gains, our loss.-s, are all
sources of unhappiness, and within us
lies the power to convert them into bless
ings or curses. Alas! that so many
choose the latter.
