Marianne Farrningham. tjik iau(;iiti:k wokth ha vise;. Two gentlemen friends, who had been parted for years, met in a crowded city street. The one who lived in the city was on his way to meet a pressing business engagement. After a few expressions of delight, he said: "Well, I'm off; I'm sorry, but it can't be helped. I will look for you to-morrow at dinner. Remember, 2 o'clock sharp. I want you to see my wife and child." "Only one child?" asked the other. "Only one," came the answer, ten derly; "a daughter. But she is a darling." And then they parted, the strang er getting into a street-car for the park. After a block or two a group of five girls entered the car. They all evidently belonged to families of wealth. They conversed well. Each carried a very elaborately decorated lunch basket. Each was well dress ed. They, too, were going to the park for a picnic. They seemed, hap py and amiable until the car stopped, this time letting in a pale-faced girl of about eleven, and a sick boy of four. These children were shabbily dressed, and on their faces were loeks of distress. They, too, were on their way to the park. The gentle man thought so; so did the group of girls, for he had heard one of them say, with a look of disdain: "I suppose those ragamuffins are on an excursion, too." "I shouldn't want to leave home if I had to look like that, would you?" This to another girl. "No, indeed; but there is no ac counting for taste. 1 think there ought to be a special line of cars for the lower classes." All this was spoken in a low tone, but the gentleman heard it. Had the child, too? He glanced at the pale face and saw tears. He was angry. Just then the exclamation: "Why, there is Nettie! wonder where she is going?" caused him to look out upon the corner, where a sweet-faced young girl stood, beckoning to the car-driver. When she entered the car she was warmly greeted by the five, and they made room for her beside them. They were profuse in exclama tions and questions. "Where are you going?" asked one. "Oh, what lovely flowers! Whom are they for?" asked another. "I'm on my way to Belle Clarke's. She is sick, you know, and the flow ers are for her." She answered both questions at once and then glancing toward the door of the car, she saw the pale girl looking wistfully at her. She smiled at the child, a tender look beaming from her beautiful eyes, and then, fopgetting she wore a handsome vel vet skirt and costly jacket, and that her shapely hands were covered with well-fitted gloves, she left her seat and crossed over to the little one. She laid her hand on the boy's thin cheeks as she asked his sister: "This little boy is sick, is he not? He is your brother, I am sure." It seemed hard for the little girl to answer, but finally she said: "Yes, miss, he is sick. Freddie never has been well. Yes, miss, he is my brother. We're going to the park to see if it won't make Freddie better." "I am glad you are going" the young girl replied, in a low voice, meant for no one's ears except those of the child. "I think it will do him good; it's lovely there, with the flow ers all in bloom. But where is your lunch? You ought to have a lunch after so long a ride." Over the little girl's face came a flush. "Yes, miss, we ought to, for Fred die's sake; but, you see, we didn't have any lunch to bring. Tim he s our brother he saved these pennies so as Freddie could ride to the park and back. I guess mebbe Freddie '11 forget about being hungry when he pets to the park." There were tears in the lovely girl's eyes as she listened, and very soon she asked the girl where she lived, and wrote the address in a tablet which she took from a bag on her arm. v After riding a few blocks she left the car, but she had not left the little one comfortless. Half the bouquet of violets and hyacinths were clasped in the sister's hands, while the sick boy, with a radiant face, held in his hand j two birds with one stone."

Cyrus worked his way through Bowdoin College, was ordained and went to Constantinople. His dreams as a missionary was to found an American Christian college. For many years he worked at great odds. He was not allowed to purchase any real estate. People in America were willing to furnish funds, but it was of no use. There came a time when the proud general of the British army bowed the knee to an American boy. A great army was in Russia fighting the Crimean War. They were almost starved. The general heard of an American who had a bake oven. (Hamlin was compelled to give his pupils work and food because they were astracized at first.)
