THE RI(;HT ARM. BV OKOHOK UITJltlU. Fifty years njo,a tfrriblc storm shook the city of IiOndon. At the dead o! night when the Monn was nt its highest, an agid rn.f.ia ir r living nenr one of tho darkest suburbs of the city, was aroused by an earnest cry for help Looking from his window, he bebelJ j n ruilo nun. clad in the roua!) attiro ofa bwerpur of tlit public strett-i. lit u few mo incuts while the rain cune down in ltrenl., and the t'.urnt "towled above, that nrtachcr. I ' I wl"l' " ol the scavenger, tliie.Kbil Ins way to the dark suburb", listen ing in the meanwhile to tho story of the dy ing iii.'iii. That very day. a MrangcolJ man had fill cn speechless in' front of the scavenger's rndo home. The pood hearted street sweeper h id taken him in, I had not once spoken This WiS the Mi,! And now throu l ,J hitn on his bed l.e -and now he was dying y l th:it in in. i dark alley3, among niM ruble tenement, that aremed nbout to topple down upon their beads, into the Ltie litiland drearest suburbs of the city, they passed, that white haired minister and his jriiide. At last into a narrow court, and up dark staits that enaked beneath the load, and then into the death loom. It was in truth a miserable place. A glirnincrino; light stood on a brokrn chair. There were the rough wall, there the solitary "turd window, with the rain beating in, through the rags and straw, which slufli d the broken pines, and t!nr . amid a heap of cold ashes, tin; valise, which th'' stranger had with him In one corner, on thecoarso -traw of the lagged lay the stinnger. He was hut half drescd on his feet were a pair of miliary bools. The aged preacher drew near, and looked upon hitn. As lie looked throb throb--throb you might hear thedia'.h watch tick ing in the shuttered wall. It was the form ol a strong man, grown old with care more than age. That was a lace, you might look upon but once, nnd yet wear in your memory forever L'.t us bi nd over that bi d, and look nt that ( ice. A bold forehead, srarrn d by one deep wrinkle between the btows long-locks ol dark hair sprinkled with grey lips firml si t, yc t (luiveruig as though Ihcy had a Ii sepaiate from the man and then two large ( vts, vivid, buttling, unnatural in their steady ;;lart'. Ah, there was sonuiliin so lerriblo in that face sointthing so lull of unutterable loneliness, unspeakable deipair that Aged minister started back in horror. But lootr. These strong arms are clutch ing at the vacant air the death sweat starts in drops upon that bold brow heisdyin? Thriib throb throb beats the death ua'.'li in the wall. Would you die in the filth of a Chris uan V filtered the preacher ai he knelt there on the damp floor. The white lips of the. drnt!i stricken man trembled but made no sound. Then, with the strong agony of death up oti him, he rose into a sitting posture. Fur the first time he spoke. 1 Christian ! he echoed in that deep tone, which thrilLu the preacher to the heait. 'will that faith give me back my honor? Come with me old nun conic vi'.h me far over tbo wateis, Hah! wc arc there! This is my native town, which I knelt i Yon! r is the church in in col Hiooa yonJ'T is i i the But jrun on which I .port.-d when a boy another flag waves yoiJer in place of the flag r si, UP, n"'31 wavrd nil' i 1 wus a boy.
