Fnaay March 10, 1876 mam asd morxixg. It was a wild and v.ind? night, and-the light snow til'ed the air with fine, cutting particles apight when a good warm fire and the so ciety of friends becomes vitally es sential to a man's comfort and his happiness. Margaret Edgerten arose from her seat by the fire, and opening the dor looked out upon ll:e night. She stood a moment, and then with a shudder, closed the door and re turned to her husband's side. 'Heaven pity those who are ex posed to the storm this night," she said fervently. 'Amen !' respond ed her husband, in a solemn voice. 'Though we are very poor, Marga ret, there are many poorer than ourselves.' The man raised his dark, serious eyes devoutly upward, and the fair, youthful head of his pale wife was drooped to his should. r. 'Yes, William, but I tremblo for the future. The rent due, and cur Slav here onlv at the mercy of our landlord oh Willie ! The feeble voice broke down in tears. 'Take no thought for the morrow : what ye .shall eat or whdtje shall drink, Margaret. If ic i.adn't been for my mistertune.' and he glanced at the mutilated and bandaged arm which huntr powerless at his side, i . ""i t we migui nave ocen enjoying tue t, p- . ii t . i irur.s m my taocr; out it is all tor , , ' , y . t. , i A knock was heard at the door t , i , . . i c i just cloied but a moment befora bv i Margaret Edgerton 4 ho can be out on sucu a mzln t land Mrs Edgerton started u to : fa . admit the visitor. , . I lie was an old man ot seme three score years, , u-i , , , ' . '. shabbily dressed, and curryicf? in , , J, ' , ,i his hand a saaall moasrre bund e. In reply to licr kind invitation, he followed Mrs ildgerton into the room, and took a seat by the smoul dering fire. After a lew common place remarks, the stranger said: 'it's a rough night, friends, and can you let ine stay ail nigki here ? A man has just told me that it is good four miles to the village.' Mr. Edgerton looked at his wife, and in her sympathising face read htr consent. 'Yes, my good man,' he replied immediately ; 'you can stay if you will, but I'm afraid that you will find our accommodations none cf the best. We are very poor and destitute, but such as we . fi'. r l.. ' nave wc out-i it, ueeiy. 'Could you give me sometmng to eat ? I havo traveled far to-day, ana .nave no s lab.eu icou fcince yes- terday night. Food cannot be got in these days without money.' The eyes of Mrs Edgerton filled with tears as she thought of tho quarter half of breadtheir earth ly all which she had reserved for breakfast. 'Heaven will take care of us,' she said thoughtfully ; and, rising, she placed the scanty store on the table. The stranger ate the bread with out comment, and when he bad fin ished he appeared wonderfully in vigorated, and conversed quite in telligently with Mr. Edgerton. 'lou have a bad arm there sir : may I ask how it happened V 'Certainly ; an unlucky fall from a high building has crippled me for life.' 'You were at work on a building ? A mechanic, eh ?' 'A bricklayer. The staging on the new warehouse where I was at work gave way, and I as precipi tated more than twenty feet.' 'The warehouse of Mr. Morgan.' 'The same, sir; it was a bad accident for me, but 1 have tried hard to bo reconciled.' 'Well, this is a hard life for us all. Put if I am to stay with you to-night I may as well retire ; it is getting towards eleven.' The poor but elean bed appro priated to the stranger guest was made more comfortable by addition al clothing taken from the couch of the poor couple, and the man ap- ! parently thankful, bid them a good night and retired. They too, leaning on the tho Ev erlasting arm, took no thought for the morrow although it saw them homeless and without food. Verily, the faith which can thus sustain the soul in most trying mo ments is no delusion. Morning came and to the great surprise of Mr. and Mrs. Edgerton, their guest was missing. Gone, and when or how they could not imagine, but gone he certainly was. They wondered over the circum stance ; but, in their trouble and anxiety of their utter destitution, the strange man was soon dismiss ed from their thoughts, to make room for their own immediato diffi culties. Ten o'clock was the time given them by the landlord for removal, and with heavy hearts they prepar ed to go. Through the kindness of a neighbor they had been allow- ed the use of a building for the storage of their little furniture, aud a room in his house until Mr. Ed gerton's health should be sufficient ly re-established to admit of his performing some light manual la bor. Nine o'clock came at last but one shcrt hour of home life remain ed to them.. Fifteen later there came a quick, imperative knock at the door of Mr. Edgerton's house. Mrs Edgerton went to answer the call when a well dressed man put a package into her hand, and hastily turned away. The package was addressed in a beld masculine hand : 'Mr. William Edgarton.' Ths husband tcre it open, and there dropped out two papers, one having an official ;.nd the other a rrivate seal. He examined the former, and found it to contsin a deed conveying to him and his he irs a certain piece of land with a com modious house thereon, and its ai purtances. Tran? fixed with sur prise, he h:oke the seal of the pri vate letter, and a jCIOO note mot his eyes, accompanied with thc-c brief words : " "Last n-cbt you freely gave your ali to a poor and destitute wayfarer "who now begs you to c crept llic accowpaning dec.! and money, in ic.vard of your noble kir.d- j ncss.

They had scarcely time to admire the good taste which had furnished the comfortable rooms, when a ri;:g at the doer announced a visitor. It was the old way-farcr of the night before.

'My grcd friends,' he said, ta king the hand of each, 'I'll begin to explain a little mystery. I had heard of the misfortune of one of ray workmen, through my agent, aud that his family were in desti tute circumstances. Before I could trust myself to do anything for ycu I wished to ascertain the true state of affairs, and last night's experi ence satisfied me. When I find charity and true goodness anywhere, 1 am determined that they shall be rewarded, even in this world ; and now Mr Edgerton, I am in want of a deputy manager, and 1 propose the situatioa to ycu. when you shall be able to endure the fatigue. Tho salary is two hundred pounds a year, and perhaps your pretty wife can manage affairs com fortably on that, eh, Mrs. Edger ton V and the old man cast a good humored glance into her tear-wet face. That was a happy day for. Mr. and Mrs Edgerton. It was also a happy day for the charitable Mr Morean, and no doubt the on"d records the good deeds of man wrote many a shininc lino against his name that day. William Ed gerton assumed the post ofieredhim in his establishment, and faithfully were his duties discharged, and more than satisfied was his employ er. Mrs. Edgerton grew to be the merriest, blithest little woman to be found anywhere. Mr. Morgan spends many a de- Ibhtful at their house, holding their bright-eyed little Howard on his knee, and telling him pleasant stories of the great and good. Blessed be charity. A Broken-Hearted Pwocstor. Tom Roach, keeper of a chicken ranch on the old San Jose road, purchased several months ago, a lot of fine creppb-crowns, which he kept aloof trom his less aristo cratic fowls in a small yard. The chief of this family was black bird of an exceedingly haughty disposi tion. He was a monarch of all be surveyed till about a week since, when Roach procured a white Lird of the same breed and turned it in to the yard of cropple-crowns. The birds immediately joined in battle, which, after a gal'ant dis play of courage by beta contestants resulted hi tho defeat of the black crppplc. The unsuccessful bird took its defeat sore'y to heart. In lact, lils was no longer worth pos sessing since honor had departed. TL- bird was seen trying to kill it self with ivi own spurs. Not suc ceeding, ;t tried to jam its head under a gate but again failed. It flew upon a barrel half filled with rain water, and carefully surveying the situation, plunged iuto tho cask, llo.icn ran cut and found the bird witu its wings closely folded to its Side, its beak open, cp-jarently en deavoring to repress the natural struggles ci self-preservation. It was speedily rescued from its dans gerous situation, but it refused to take any further iaiercst in life, rnd after a few days -,-f mental aud physical torture and tularin; he oicd. &'an Fran :1 Eut Th - Fare- v;c.ii' h 1.
