A Touching Incident.

turned to go out, with his cash in his pookes.
In front �f him, he eaw just an appari-
tion of Raffalowsky rushing wildly
away with one hand upon his forehead.
The man's face wee awful to behold. Hugh
felt sure the Russian hadlost all once more,
and been,too much ashamed even to renew
hie application.
The great door swung 'slow upon its
idioms,. and Raffalevsley burse into the outer
corridor, bowed from the room with great
dignity, in spite of hie frintic haste, by a
well liveried attendant. There is plenty

There are often wells( of thought; and feel-
ing in childhood, of whose depths parents
little dream. We are -so accustomed to
think of our children's tastes, desires ana
will as being reflections of our own, that we
tut often forget to study their natures, re-
cognize their individuality, and treat them
as sentient beings. With such reflections I
liatened to *the relation of the following
touching incident.
A little girl of this city, about ten years
of age, was visiting her aunt in the coun
try. They were discussing a certaie book,
and the aunt remarked:
"Your birthday is near, and perhaps your
mamma will buy it for you for a birthday
present."
A tinge of sadness rested on the sweet
young fade, as she quiekly answered:
" She could give me something else I
would rather have than anything else in the
world"
"I'm euro," said the aunt, "your moth-
er will get it for you, if it does not cost too
much."
"It will not cost money," replied the
child, "it will not cost anything.'
But she could not then be persuaded to
tell what it was. After es Ion time the
shrinking little spirit said:
"Aunty, I will tell yOu part; it is some-
thing. she gave me before Melo brother came.
It is just not to do something for that. one
day; now dant you know t"
The discerning aunt drew the -little one to
her and asked:
"Is it that mamma should not soold yen
on your birthday ?"
A trembling "Yes," and loitg the dear
head reated silence on the bosom �f that
loving, patient aunt. w,
When I heard this litte incident related
by that aunt herself my heartswelit, and I
qaiokly asked myself, " Ariel not that

Orator's Fright.
A beginner in oratory is like one speaking
a foreign language: he says what he oan,
not what he would. When Stratford Can-
ning, subsequently the cool, imperious Eng-
lish Ambassador at Constantinople, made his
first speech in Parliament, he was so fright-
ened that he felt like a skater, under
whose gyrations the treacherous ice has
given way, and lefb him to flounder in the
:water.
Lord Darby, " the Ruperb of Debate,"
chaffed him about his failure.
" Come, come, my lord," replied Stratford
Canning, "in spite of your great ability an&
success, how is it with your'
"Well," answered the great debater,
" tell you honestly. When I have a
statement to make in the House, I don't
feel at all comfortable; but in debate when
