(From Miss fielp'S proteges in "Sandnibt
'
Afternoon."),
"The whole problem is how to Make
bread of. the lead possible flour; and •to
keep it the longest possible tittle with -
_out getting mouldy." said Miss He
looking her shrewdest. through her
speetticles at a stalwart: young workrn n
in a -knit: jacket, who was leaning Qer
her desk.
"You MUSt out closer than that, Mpg
Help," he said with a half: bitter lox b.
“ Question is how to make bread out of
nothing, and keep Kitty and the, ld
lady on it, and never have it give o t.
What's needed is such another mire. le
as happened in the Good Book to t at
old wernan'sflour barrel and niolas es
or buttermilk jug, or whatever. it
'that she lived on -always used. and 5 et
never used up. That's it, Miss* Jane;
I've got just fifty cents, and there '11 be
rent -due in a week, and by to -Morrow
food to he bought, and coal by Satur;
day, Pve walked.. this city up . and.
down, steady for six iweeks, ready to do
anything at any pride, and. I can't get it,
and there are dozens of men in My case.
This is the first thing offered, and you
say not to touch it."
"Yes, Ned. ; :andraind a-isu don't to•uch
it. Better starve the body than. :poison
the soul. Why do they want you to
take the money in a Varieties Theatre.?
Because you are honest; but how long will
. you be likely to remain honest :in, such
company? Not alone in childhood do
evil communications corrupt goad mad-
' ners. Which of the Commandments,
unless it is the sixth, is not constantly
broken in a Varictiea:T'heatre ?"
• "You know I can't starve alone;
there's, mother and. Icitty."1
"I know they had rather starve with
you than have you: lose your , morals
and come home drunk and swearing, or
desert them for evil 'company."
"1 hope I know My duty better, Alias
"If you stapt aside from duty so far
as to take this place, you:cannot tell
-where you may bring up. The Bible
says, 'Let him that thinketh he
stand-
eth take heed;' and the ,psalm Says,:
Bless.ed is the man ' that walketh not
in the - counsel of • the ungodly, nor
• stan.deth in the way of sinn.ers, nor sit-
teth in the seat of the scornful.' That
don't mean money taking in a Varieties,
Ned. And let me tell you. that it is
precious poor business policy to enlist
the Lord. amongst your enemies, for the
sake•of twenty-five.dollans a month." •
" Well, Miss Help,I said. I'd take your
advicee-and I do; but since I must
not touch this place, I believe the Lord
will have to find some way of feeding
me on I:lathing."
"1 shotild not be surprised if that
would be:enact:1ywhat he did -feed you.
on what I,we- call nothing. Americans
are the Meat extravagant.people in the
world. We waste what foreigu,ers make
a decent living OR. There. was more
truth than on enormous joke in Bale's
story of a Man'who rsiade a fortune by
collecting paper and ' bits of advertise-
ments flying along the -streets.. The'
poor of .France could: be s.upported on
the waste of our poor. 1 went to
I.:mice once for a year, asnurse to a
sink lady, and I know what I am .say-
in.g. In eity ancl, country We waste. In
this Country if a cow or horse dies, ten
to one it is -buried as it falls, in France
every hair and bone and scrap. of it
would be turned into money. •-•The
swamps behind our cities and .along our
coasts. would in.Fraz3ce be rich market
gardens; and you workmen would -find
steady employment in them." '
" You know, Miss Help, I cannot go
. into the country and dig nay living out
of the earth; for I could not leave my
old lady,. and Kitty has not been out of
bed this ten yearsbut as I lifted her.
That makes memore anxions not to be
behindhand in the rent lest . we get
ejected, fot it might kill Kitty to be
-moved,"
lend you the rent if you need
said Miss Jane. “ As you say, Ned,
dozens of men axe out of work in this,
crisis, and you may seek long withou:t
finding; but go out with your eyes open
and ti7 to strike out a new line , of life
• for yourself.. Is there no waste that
:you. can live on? It is better to try to
turn nothing into something by utilizing
the: waste, than it is to turn something
into nothing by serving grog ilia bar, or
taking money in. a Varieties theater.
Don't live like a vampire on the blodd
of, your fellows. Don't despair, my lad;
go out and try again. I'll agree to
whatever is honest, and lend yOu money
for a start in a straight line, but don't
let the devil tempt you in your extrem-
ity to do evil. Remember he carne came to
our Lordwhen-h-e was an huiagered,and
his tactics have not changed; he per-
suades many men. to do when they are
hungry what. they would not do when
they are well fed and had. five dollarsin
their pocket. Then° is truth in tbe re-
nciark that it is easy. to be virtuous on
Ave thousand a year, But God can
maintain your virtue when you .have
.nothing a. year."
The young man picked up his hat
from the floor, and straightened • his
knitted jacket. "1 believe," he said,
"that it will be easier to go out with an.
eye to ilnyenting -work, than begging it
with this everlasting `.rieeno wdrk' for
an answer. I was reading a book - by•
sonao great mon who: had been a Work-
ingraan, and he said it made him sick
to see men going about begging of their
:fel:lows the right to live."
"Hugh. Miller should hinie known
better them to copy Burn BurnS ili such
a bit of pathos," said Miss • Help
sturdily. "If we want apples we pick
them; we don't go into orchards hold-
ing our mouths open and exacting fruit
. to fall in. If work is honorable there is
no disgrace in. 'asking for it. Work is
honorable and labor is a blessing; busy
peopleare .not the cheats:, suicides or -
misanthropes, and as labor is
worth _ having, it is worth .asking
for, and. all . Workers do ask for it.
The politician begs for his, office, the
merchant in every advertisement asks
for custom, every man proclaims his
abuiitie.s.and requests Means • for their
occupation; and Burns and Millerhave
found. out that it is a sickening sight to
see ft workman, asking honestly for
*mkt That is mere balderdash, Ned.
Geniuses talk a good deal of that -e' -for
change."
• Ned laughed, said " Good morning,"
and went off. I said, "Miss Jane, that
is. a vary intelligent yoking fellow, what
is his trouble ?"
"Want of work.. He has .for seven
years aupported his old mother, and a
sister who is in 'bed with a spinal -dis-
• ease._ He has been this seven yeaxe in a
foundry, but that has closed and for
ne ly two months:he has been looking
for work, and using up his little savings,
nu 1 all are gone. There are many men
out of work uow, and -he is one of those
wh cannot get Oar of the city; he
mi ht make'his 'fortune possibly by go -
inn West, but be Cannot -go ; the olcl
lady cannot carry fuel or water up-
sta rs, and: poor Kitty would find no

Po r fellow, he -is sorely tried."
had come to the Bureau for an or -
ph n. One of the. Miss Help's ' clients
ha died leaving three orphanchildren.
Th Bureau had taken the youngest, al -
m sf, alIthe girls there offering to.don-
tri uto work or money to her support,
so hat like niany another "Daughter
of he Regiment," she was likely to be
be ter cared for than any other daugh-
ter in the regiment. I had found a
pl ce for the:oldest, and had come to
m ke orrangeMents for taking her away
on he Morrow. Accordingly the next
m ming I returned, and while I waited
for he orphan in came Ned.
• Miss Help, I believe I've found a
wa of living, if yen% lend me two dol-
lar to set up my stock -in -trade."
You are welcoroe to the loan," said
Mi 's Jane, looking for the money, "but
wh t are you meaning -to do, Ned?"
ed looked down and laughed, rather
asily. " I'll tell you in two w eeks,
s Help—when I see how it works."
lin Help looked . at him sharply.
nor bright,Ned, you are not totrade

in be erimes of your fellows."
"No, no, ,miss ; but I'll not say as to
the r follies. 1 shall not:cheat anybody
mi s ; • but what -my eyes discerned for
me yesterday was that there's more
mo tey going for nonsense -than for
'nsu re hard work. There must be
so e one to humor Melia" added Ned,
cyn
See to it," said Miss Jane, "that
yo are led neither into temptation'
you self, nor lead. your fellows into it.
Re ember, it is better to be cast into
the:depths of the sea than to cause a
bro her to offend. Now, Ned, I trust
you .so be off, and good luck." '
bout two weeks after this I was
pas ing toward- the - close of the after-
nooi before the State -house, in the
.mo t crowded portion of one of our
great thoroughfares. Here the street
widens into half a piaiza, and here itin-
erant dealers love to stand. A crowd
surrounded one of these men, and •
heord. a brisk voice haranguing the
throng. . Something familiar in the
tones strnek me, ande
•aining the van-
tage ground of the State -house steps I
beheld the muscular workmanlike fig-
ure and keen face of Ned iu the midst'
of a:circle of - admirers. Around. his
neck hung by a fed cord a tray made of
aestout paste -board cover, and holding
large brown envelopes, each evidently
full. Conspicuously on the top of these
lay an open, razor.. On Ned's extended
left hand lay a bunch ;of keys,:and ' in
niaright hand he held a commonpine
• chip. Thus was Ned holding forth :
"See here, gentlemen ! here's a trick
that:will take you two and a half years
practising six hours a ,clay, to .learu-
bat I show it off free to you. Look
here! who of you ca,n rub keys
with a pine stick? Got any keys,? Got
any pine stick? Now try it, rub this
way, and that way, and - so, there he
comes! there is a key rising up to the
stick, no you can't do it with yours. I
told you so, it, takes practice; when
.yon're willing to devote youn-whole time
and attention to it Tor nigh three years
maybe you'll get the right twist. there
has been only one other fellow in this
key business, gentlemen, and he's dead.
Starved! I expect to starve if you don't
make things more lively for me. What!
some of you gentlemen going off before
I've dono. my great trick of swallowing
a razor? Ilere,s the razor," -!--he lifted
it with a flourish, and the crowd thick-
ened and pressed closer. "Yes, gentle-
men, who of you can swallow a • razor?
Takes yon five years and a plenty of
fits of indigestion besides setting out
with the stomach of au ostrich as your
first capital -to learn to swallow a ra-
zor. Oh I'm willing to show you how
free. Got any razors? If yon. have,
take 'em oua and. do as I do. I hold the
razor up so, open my -mouth, so -but
,before I do swallow the razor, gentle-
men, who wants . to buy fifty cents'
worth of varieties for ten cents ?"
Here,in this parcel is a pencil, a pen, a
set of studs ancl cuff buttons, and pap&
and envelopes for writing to your sweet-
heart. Buy the package, and open it
on the spot. If any man don't bud.
what I say I'll return his dime, or give.
him my razor, just as he likes."
Several of the crowd invested dimes
i11 the envelopes, opened them and_.
found. the list as described. "Now ,
here's some more gentlemen who have
not seen the key business" said the
voluble Ned. "1 shows 'em that, and
then I returns to my razor swallowing
after I sells a few more packages to any
gent who wants to get the worth of his _
money in these hard times. Pen, pen-
cil, studs, cuff -buttons, pape • envel-
opes, all for ten cents !"shoute4l Ned, in
his cl ax, brisk voice, " Cornekig,ht up,
take he reserved seats, or private boxes
just s you like, without extra charge.
Tick ts free, packages worth fifty _cents
-for ten cents:"
He at an express wagon, delayed in
the t rong on the street, stopped oppo-
site ed, and one of themen in it be-
gan to jeer the street tradesman. "See
that fellow on the cart?" cried Ned.
“No why is his mouth like a drug shop?
Ca-n't tell ? Give it up? Answer, 'Caine
it's a ways • open."' The crowd roared -
with aughter, and Ned sold several en-
velop s at once. I came down from the
,steps s the outer circle of listeners be-
gantc break up, and the last I heard
that ay of Ned was his old shout,
" Wh t! going away before I've done
Mao gi at trick of swallowing a razor?
Now ere goes for a show!" •
A f w days after this, provided, with a
.ba,ske of tea, sponge cakes and jelly for
". the old lady and Kitty," I climbed
ftur iairs of stairs to the "top flat "!
where Ned's family abode. As soon as
the dnor was opened a brisk old woman.
I pare ived where Ned got .his bright
eyes, appy disposition and keen wits;
he wa his mother's son, emphatically.
"Co •e in, come in," said the old wo-
man,! -when I had used Miss Jane's -
name s an introduction. "I'm afraid,
you
you fo nd it a long climb. I don't get
up an down myself very!much now.
but on e you are up here it is airy and t
sunny and good far. Kitty. Yes, there's
Kitty 'n bed, she's amazin' chipper late-
ly ; s e's got busy in some of Ned's
new w zk, and she's quite picking up.
Oh, bi ank you ma'am, for this
treat or Kitty; it beats all, the
good fr ends one finds so unexpected.
la
Yes Mo'am, we have lived -up here for
fourteen years, and it do seem like.

best atory ; it is ou of the noise and
bad smells, and. not o many people run-
ning by the door, au you can keep the
landing clean. The out of the win-
dows, ma'am. qu te interesting, the
pigeons and the' sw. !lows flying along
the roofs, and the cl 'ar sky behind the
chimbley tops, and ii winter the suow
lies up here -white a d clean: along th.e
peaks- and dorrriant , and the icicles
hang at -bright as ju. ery.": A. very poor
and common person, you see, oblivious
of Webster and Wo 'cester ; - but these
thoughts were, almost identical with
those of the chee ful Philosopher of
Paris, whose Words ave been his for-
tune. The little- roo ris were clean and i
comfortable in a very simple - fashion;
there was a very brilliant "rising sun"
bed quilt over Kitty, and the cripple
was busy working with silk, cardboard,
-and odds ancl ends of cloth and ribbon.
I suggested that her disease was a great
affliction. It was so, the mother'. ad-
mitted., but she saw also a more cheer-
ful side to it.
"Yon see, ma'am, I've always had.
Kitty's company, and ain't lonely in my
old age, and trouble's kept Kitty steady;
if she'd been stout who knows but she
might ha' gone astray like so many;

girl's out earnin' their To be
_Buie Kitty's had a deal of suffering, but

band, and. half a dozen starving chil-
dren, it would ha' been s, deal worse for
her .and for nie. New uobody looks
crosswise at her, and the and Ned. sets
great store by Kitty. You don't know
what a good. fellow Ned is. When • he
was a mite of a boy, he allus brought
me every cent he made, never got candy
or marbles; when he went out working
he carried coal and water for me of
nights, and early in the morning. He
never goes to shows or wears finery; he
uses all his money for me and Kitty,
and seems as bound to keep us as oth-
er men are to keep their wives and chil-
dren. He's lively and sociable, but be
dar'n't look at any young folks, poor fel-
low, on account of having us tecare for,
-and so not able to think of marrying. I
think pity of 'him for it; but is, Ned
sayslie likes me and Kitty better than
all the rest. He's took care of us for
seven years, and he did a good deal for
before that, and When his father died he
paid all the expenses; he said his fath-
er had been an honest, hard-werking
man, and he should n't be buried like a
pauper. Oh, Ned is ij good lad; even-
ings he sits here a.rn4 plays on an ac-
Cordian just heaVen1 and he reads out
lead to us as good as preacher, -don't
he Kitty ?" •
"Yes, Kitty said hat be did, and
that be always kept lis courage up; he
nearly lost it, but no quite, when he
was so long out of Weak, but now, Kitty,
.added, he has taken to a street show
and package Selling, alnd he made .more
money at it than he had at foundry
work.
"It seemed a Sort of come -down to
me," said the old lady, "to have him,
who has always been a steady work-
man, and with- his big muscles, go to
cutting jokes on the sidewalk, and sell-
ing bits of parcels; but says Ned,
Mother, anything is more comfortable
than starving.' - ;Not, ma'am, that Ned
.hadn't rather be at hard days' work, but
he allus was a rate hand. for making the
best of a baxgain."
And what was Kitty doing, I asked.
She spread out her work—pen-wipers,
pocket pin -cushions, little jointed dolls
dressed, kettle -holders, book -marks. I
especially noticed button cards, where-
on not the original 'buttons were fasten-
ed, but the edges Were neatly trimmed,
and oil each card Was a dozen of assort-
ed buttons, bone, peari, china,, rubber,
gilt -the idea carne to me that they were
waste buttons, frOn store sweepings and.
from sidewalks; so there single rows of
pins, were of all sizes mid both black
and white; little needle eases held two
or three needles and two or three hair-
pins; there was a boli of broken candy
also, and Kitty -was cattina .motto pa-
pers from bits of tissue and glazed. pa-
per aud rolling up the,pieces.
"This," said Kitty ! proudly, "is all
waste, and. we are putting, it to use. Ned
was telling me one night what Miss
Help said aboutliving on waste, and. it
set me thinking about all' the things I
used. to see When I could run 'about, -
for I could run -around when I was a
little girl -paste -board, papers, 'scraps
Of ribbon from the stores, pins, and but-
tons and all sorts of things; and I told
Ned if 1 could get such waste I could
make up the . things:for his packages,
and he could have more variety, and so
he does. Sone of his parcels have
candy and ..pins, and needle:books and
buttons, and lots of things in them;
they are real nice packages for ten
cents. Ned arranged at two or three
stores to get the broken, boxes ath the
handkerchief ribbons, and the bright
n_apers, and he fills his packets with
odds and ends he finds along :the side-
walks, and I buy all that a little boy on
the first flat ca.n find, and he's a sharp
-
little fellow and goes to milliner shops
and. offers to clean walks or cellars for
scraps. I tell Ned may be we'llget rich
some day and set up a factory outpf our
wage work !" 1
A week or two after this, walking in
an, unfamiliar part of the City, I sud-
denly discovered. Ned in a new stand.
As I .came within sight, lo the same ad-
miring crowd around the knit jacket,
and the loud, cheery voice, proclaiming
the marvels of the key trick, and ask-
ing how any gentleman could leave :bee
fore he had clone his great feat of swal-
lowing a razor. Again I stood on some
adjacent stops and watched Ned.
