"And how about the keys ?"
"Why you know,;ma'am, I've got a
magnet in the chip, but they won't see
it,—they don't want to see it—they like
to be fooled. It is amazin' how they'll

A friend of mine who was weeding
out a large library, soon after sent lied
a parcel"of books; and finding a young
damsel mourning for something to do,
I bid her take a roll of pretty fragments
and some patterns, and go and instruct
Kitty in making rabbits, elephants. and
dogs of flannel ; workbaskots and chair
baskets and shaving -paper cases and
tissue lamp mats. My young friend be-
came interested, and continued her in-
structions for several days.
This was late in autumn, and being
out of town, it was spring before I again
called at Ned's home. The sunshine
poured into the upper room„ and Kitty
propped up in bed was the manager of
a manufactory ! Her mother, with a
very pretty young woman and a little
girl, was busily employed in making
fancy work of a simple sort, dolls, balls,
cloth animals, mats, wind mills, etc.
The boy who collected waste was driv-
ing a good trade, and came in while I
was. there with a basket of, material.
Not only was. Ned selling dozens of
packages and separate articles, en-
livening his trade by the razor, the keys
and the fainting Khan of Tartary, but
the little working girl's mother had.
opened a large street stand, purchasing
her stock -in -trade from Kitty, and sup-
porting herself better on the percentage
than she ever had on slop sewing.
The report was still that they were lay-
ing up money, and Kitty announced
that perhaps they could earn 'enough
to get into the country; and have
a bit of place t� themselves while

Ned did day's work ant, she sent toys
to town. Her mot.er knit many
trifles for the stand, nd Rhoda, the
pretty girl, was " a wo derful hand at
paper dolls."
That was three yea s ago, and six
months since Ned was ble lo carry out
his cherished plan. H : had hired a
four -roomed house a d an acre of
ground, and retiring from the razor and
key and Khan business . was to do day's
work, while Kitty carri: d on her manu-
factory.
It was only yesterdathat all this
story of my humble he •o was brought
to my mind by his callipg on me, with
Rhoda dressed in her best, and stating
that they had just com. `from the min-
ister's, and were on the'r wedding jour-
ney, which was to e -tend from my
house to the B ureau, and from the
Bnreau—home.
"You see, ma'am," s id Ned, blush-
ing apology for this ew departure,
" Rhoda is so . smart I. thought I
had better get her t. take care of
of me, while I took car: of the rest of
them.",

such an offence, and to eath the lad
was condemned. The olonel of his
regiment, remembering ";lib intelligence
and bravery o. the y. ung criminal,
spared no pains to o tain a remis-

success, but finally ha perec with a

The colonel at once proceeded to the

A light came into the ytung fellow's

It occurred to me that a liewinstances
