AUNT RUTH'S VALENTINE.
"Dinah," fail Aunt Bath, "thee may
light the gas in the hall and see who is
at the door; I hear the bell again."
' 'Deed, Missus, it's only another of
them mizzable boys with their valen
tiuos, I 'spect. My legs is abont broke
now, and I'se got a dreadfal misery in
my back a runain' to the door with
nothin' there but them no 'connt picters
and chalk marks on the Btepsl"
Mattering thns she Bailed from the
room with the air of an offended prin
cess; opened the door cautiously a few
i lichee and peered ont into tbe snow
storm that was raging; bnt seeing no
one, proceeded to slmt it with muttered
iLvectives against all "mizzable white
trash," when a small b iy, ten or twelve
years of ago, black as t bony, scantily
clothed in a cotton shirt and ragged
punts a world too largo for him, which
were drawn nearly to his t boulders end
held in place by smpeuders of twine,
mi J tnrned up at the ankle?, showing a
pair of bare feet, rose from a corner bt-
side the door. Kurvejii g her for a mo
ment quite as coolly as she surveyed
him, ho r.t last deliberately stepped
into the lighted hull, dragging by the
hand a sbiveriDg little girl almost hid
den in the folds of a ragged coat which
he dexterously jerked from her shoul
ders, saying:
'Here's a wallcntine for the lady wot
lives here!"
"Then turning, he ran rapidly down
the steps and disappeared around the
lirst corner iu the snowy darkue?s,
while the bewildered Dinah stood star
ing Btupidly after him.
The little smutty-faced, blue-eyed
"valentine," so unceremoniously deliv
ered, stoo 1 motionless under tho gas
light, awaiting further developments.
Ditah speedily recovered speech and
tetion, and closed the door with a
brng.
"Missus, Missnal for the Lord's sake
lock -a here!"
Ai the laly obeyed the imperative
summons and etepped into the hull tho
little bundle of Utt.-ra and rags moved
to htr side and peered up into the placid
faca surrouudel by tuo prim folJ of a
(juaktr cap. SjBTntug to reognizea
friendly hiart shiuiu? in the scions
eyes, she thrust into her hand a scrap
of crumpled piper, saying :
"Dick writ it!"
Aunt Rath took the dooumnut, and,
with a pnzzled lo k at the bearer, pro
ceeded to decipher the queer hieroglyph
ics. It had evidently been a laborions task
for the grimy Augers that ha 1 traced
them; but she at lit piokl ont the
messuge embodied in letters of all sizes
and chapes. The writ.r had evidently
made it his sole aim to give the facts in
the case, proudly regardless of tho
minor csmiderations of orthography
and panotuiation:
"This littul gurl Hain't gt no folks
nor no wares to sta only a womman tl at
betes her orful aud me aud a 1? n with
straw into it to sleep in nights. I've
brung bur to bee yuro walliuline.
Shee's hungree. Dick."
While the lady was laboring over the
odd missive tbe little waif stood looking
sotier'.y np into her face, and wben she
raised her eyes, fall of pity and oom
passion, the child said:
"H told me he writ into it that I
wasn't nobody' girl only his'n, and
that I'd bo your wallentine! I don't lok
like 'em, bat I'll be it. I'd like to. It's
jolly warm here, only my feet's cold,"
and she looked down at the heavy boots
she had on, ragged and run over at tbe
heul. "Tbey's Dick's. He made me
wear 'em when I cried."
"Thee may taktj tho child to the
kitchen, Dinah, aud give her something
to eat. I will come jrreeiitly, and per
haps I can On I ont where she belongs.'
Dinah led her down the hall, the wet
boots ehnflling heavily over tne carpet,
an 1 the bright bine eyes, shining oat
of the t-nintty face like ttais from a mud
hole, lifted apprehensively to the dark
face.
"I do declar fer it," nm'.teu-d the old
woman, "white trash and black trash is
mostly alike in their no 'ccntit prackf,
that's a fact! Bleat if this ain't the
queerest piece of business I'se ever seen
at this house yit? A wallentine! MisRus
Rith'B way ie so unexpected! Here, ron
poor little white beggar!"
Diuah's crnsty manner Boftesed a lit
tle as the watched tbe greediness with
which the chil 1 devoured the big slice
of bread and butter; bnt fht tacit -o out
right when, as she finished her feast,
the "little white beggar" slid from her
chair and caught aud ki-ed the big
black bacd, saying:
"1 Lkes you, 'cause you look like Dick.
I likes good black folks."
When Aunt K ith came down she
found her "wallentine" seatexl in Dicah's
own rocking chair btforc the fire, hi!e
Dinah herreif, down on the floor, bad
the almcet froztn feet in her lap, warm
ing them, and giv.tig veut to some vt-ry
nnorthodt x exprei-sions of opinion as to
the ordering of Providence.
"Bakes alive! don't know's it's so, but
the Lu'd seems to pay a mighty sight of
'teiition to some fohs and fergit all
about the rest. 'Pears like chi lun ought
to be looked after anyhow. Xuey ain't
though, hulf on 'em! Tilings is queer iu
this world if 'tis the LAl's world!"
"Well, child," said Aunt Ruth, "now
that thee is warmed and fed, will thee
t-ll thy name and where thee bc-louge?"
She shook Ler head.
"Djn't belong nowheres. Father al
ways calle 1 me 'Drat yog-Bab!' "
Aunt Rath sighed over this d jlorons
conipcuud cognomen.
"Has thee no mother?''
"Once. She called me 'Here-jon-Biib!'
Father struck her on?e with a
bottle, and in the morning Fhe went
dead. Aud one day the perliee took
father away, an 1 old I! -t told me to go
'long too, and I went 'long fer as I conld.
I hadn't n'lwhercs to stop to, and I
crawled into Dick's box and he put things
over me aud tlxtd me a jo'.lj nice place,
and ev'ry dny h" t"o!-t care of me. lie
made this" and here the child litoeped
and drew from ouo of the capricious
boots, which she put on agan, upon
getting down from the rocking chair, n
doll, whittled from a stick and urtistical
ly fiuishe 1 w;th oil, as to hair, eyes
and mouth. She looked a', it admiring
ly for a moment, rearranged its drapery
of old print, which was somewhat dis
tnrbed by its journey iu the boot, and
restored it to its resting place.
Annt Ruth sighed again.
"Give her a warm bath, Dinah, and
then thee may make her a bi-d on the
lounge in my room. I will give bee
something that will eerve her as a night
dress." The poor little wanderiug child was
soon wrapped in a warm shasl and
curled down on tho lounge iu Aunt
Ruth's ple.isant room, too much excited
by the novelty of her position to sleep
too comfortable to do anything but Lug
her wooden treasure aud stare, first at
the pretty surroundings, tben at the
kind face at the fireside. Suddenly the
raised herself on her elbow.
"Dick said he heard there wamangels
that lived aomew'erea an' took care of
folks. B jon one?"
"No, no, child," said Aunt Rath,
gently; "I am only Aunt Ruth. (Id to
sleep."
"Yes, 'm. But I do wish Dick was a
walh-ntiuo. "Jt's wery old into LU
box."
Annt Ruth find Dinah sat h.te into the
night hastily f.tshiouiLig warm garments
for the little otio, aud cousi iered them
selves well repaid by tho .'cliglit with
which they were d jnued iu the morn
ing. While happy little "Drat -you Bib"
was taking her breakfast by tbe side of
the kitchen stove a shadow darkened the
window, aud the little girl, looking np,
exclaimed, joyfully:
"O, there's my Dick!"
Dinah opened the door and bale bim
"come "long in," giving him a jerk to
fiicili'ato bin movomeuts. He shamHexl
bashfully in, an I in a moment the
child's armi were around his nock, and
her fa"e, pretty in its unwonted cleanli
ness, nestled against his block cheek,
whila she poured out a torrent of eager
exclamations of satisfaction at being a
"wallentino."
Wheu she at last released bim Diuah
took him by bin shoulders aud sou ted
him firmly in a chair.
"Now," said she, "you's just a goin'
to ret there till you splaiu this whole
'rangement to me and Mipsns. An' you
jext lay ont to tell the truie, the whole
trufe, au' nrifliu but the trnfe all the
way through that is, if ye kin. Niggas
is mostly mighty tinirtin!"
When Aunt R-iMi came down Bhe
found her "wallentine" bringer Bitting
by the fire with little Bab at his Bide,
her two little bauds tightly held in one
of his own, and supreme satisfaction at
the suoocfb of his odd scheme shining in
every feature of his honest face, ner
eyes filled aa sho sto id in tho door a
moment unnoticed by tho children, bat
she was not given to demonstrations and
made no comment.
And then Dick rose in bis place still
holding both the little hands.
"I hain't got much to tell, roa'ma. I'm
only Dick tho loo!blaek, an' this yer
, l.tMe girl I foutd clo night last week.

an' she si. p' till mornin'. In tLe morn

add d he to Dinah, wl.oFtood with dish
towel in hand, gravely weighing 1 is
words. "I was a blaekin' a feliers's

that chap'd ears for dragging the dog
over the stones in the gutter. DiJn't

"I 'ch.r for't," said D nah; "he's
tellin' tho trufe! 'Peard like I felt he

Dick male r.o commtn'. ou Dinah's
change of ba-e, but looked earnestly
into Aunt Ruth's face. As the sniil
nothing ho rcpeited timidly, with u
little quaver in bis voic :
"She hain't trot ro mother nor no
body in the world, only me, ma'tni; an'
she's real cutel"'
"Dick," said AuLt Rutli, quietly, "I
should think theo would rather find a
home for thyself tliau to take so mui'h
troutde for a s:trauge little girl."
"Ma'ma," faid Dick, gravely, "I
heard a preacher man ou the str.et oue
day tellin' about a good feller that want
ed tho little chil lren to ik care ef, an'
that he said into some book cr otber
(he had it, an' rea l out of it. I 'Wueii

to take care of l.rr, tin' poor Joe, Le
reckoned so, too,"
"I think Til keep my valentine, Dick,"
Aunt Ruh said, with a smile. "I
never Leurd of sending back a valentine,
I believe. And I think 1 wiil send olc
myself, too. Thee may carry it for me
to Friend Bradley's olli -e, on Harlem
street, Dick."
The note was written in a fair, npright
hand, in a few concise words:
"Fhibsd Biiadlf-y: I fead thee a
valentine. Thee will find tne lines be
longing to the picture in the twenty
fifth chapter of M itthew, fortieth ver.-e.

A Wooden Match.
A North Carolina paper, the Abiuplou
Staitd iiii has the following : Some
tune ah-o Mr. F.. A. Johnson, uf Johnson
Brothers, jfweh r, of this place, made
a plain, open-face wooden wotch that
attrae'ed a great deal of attention, but
wa- subsequently txtlipsed by Mr. Dor
iot, of Bristol, iu a watch s-'tuewhat
luoie elaboruto iu design. Not to be
outdone, Mr. Johnson put to work on
another watch, and has turned out a
handsome double case stem-winder and
stem setter, every piece of which, save
the main and hair springs :nd crystal,
are of wood aud made entirely by his
own bunds, Kveu the spring t the
cases are made of wood. It keeps
splendid time, and is sufficiently strong
to be nsed aa a time keeper. It is of
ordinary size, and when ornamented, as
he exp. ..i to do, will be n hand -wo e
