I will take a chair by you." What is the matter with your book, Chris

"I bave received a blow. Is it very red? The story is not pleasant. I was hustled and robbed by some rowdy girls."

"Where ?"

"In Queer Streat."

"It has a bad saue, and it is in my dis- trict. What made you choose that way, and on a Saturday ton

"I lost my direction.”

Is your pareo gone?"

What public institution does correspond with the purpose for which it was founded? Look at samo of our missionary societies. A Bcretary cannot do the correspondence under a thonsand a year, and the under secretaries and organising secretaries, who throw the net aad mw it throughout England, derive their hundreds of pounds out of the society. It is but the crumbs that fall from their well-spread tabl that goes to the missions abroad."

***These institutions should be overhauled, and started en nonuder principle."

My dear Chris. There are but two mastera in this world. If a work of charity is act under- taken for the love of God, it must be done for the sake of a salary. The pily of it is, that where a penny is given to one, where the work. ers are not puid, sod all is done out of deration and pure zeal, to the other is given n sovereign." Christremained silent. The matter was beyond her. Presently she said: To come to your- salf, Martha, what really ails you?"

*Gonoral debility, and weakness of the spine. have to Rusk steel through a straw so as not to blacken my teeth, and to lie on my back half the day."

"You ought to go into the entry. That would brace you up. I am certain that Annt Laura would take von. Now that I am in town with Lady Barbara, she is without anyone, an she will welcome yon.

**I cannot go now, I have my duties here." "What duties?"

"To these will girls. I have their clab to maange. The work must be carried on. In the summer we close it, and then I am free and will take my holiday."

"But you will be killed before the summer comes. Gut Rome one else to undertake the t.sk for you."

That is more easily suggested than recom-

teared to help, and she came on a certain evening, and told the girls that they aught to be very grateful to me for what I did for them."

"And they ought to be."

"Yes, with two sovereigns and some silver.plished. One of your West End ladies volan- I shall have to borrow some pouce of you to take me back in a "hus to Cumberland Mansions. But what is a more serious loss to me is my watch-I can ill spare that, as it belonged to my mother, and it cannot be replaced. How over, I have made my experiences and strange they have been. I have been offered a bit of fat bacon wherewith to rab my braise, and ai Borgin of gin to pour down my throat'

Whut-in Queer Street ?*

Yes, by a girl na! Brice" "Oh! Brice I know her. She is not in my Club She is too rough and wayward. But with pationes I trust to draw her in. She is by no means as savage and wild na were some of the othere, who are really now, like the man who dwelt in the tombs, clothed and in their right iniad."

What an odd pame she has. **Brics, yes.

They should not be told. They suppone that they run the club with their ha' pears, and that they must be allowed to think. Actually it sorte a little struggle to keep it going, nail

thut entails one of the only disagreeables con- nected with it--begging. You sce-it is not a public institution, with patrore, and advertisod, carried ou by a committee, and issuing reports. Thon another lady asked to me the work and help, but stipulated that she should not be brought into contact with the girla. That suffiod. No-there are plenty to gush over the sad condition of the East End, and London over the water, but few to lead a helping hand to effect a remedy. I recollect reading a We go out in flamboyant names passage in the Greville Memoire, in which tho in the East. She bus a brother with the aristo-writer put down bis Incabrations over the cratic name of Cecil, who is in a decline."

"I saw him. Bally, Martha, the room they occupy, she, her brother, father and mother, reeks with diocase! It must be an inch deep in microbes of phthisis over the floor, and the cobwebs are like nets suspended to catch those that float in the air.

"No doubt. Brice will follow inevitably. There is to help for it. As to the old people, they tre so sodden in gin, that they can dofy all sorts of bacilli."

**But--cas nothing be done for the yuang mar? Why not send him to ons of the host pitals for consumptive patients."

Oh! the A.P.C. my father did apply by letter, and then followed that np, as the reply: was unea factory, by a personal interview with the secretary or manager. It was no good-no racanoy for two months."

The mischief will then be irremediable." "Yes-and thea tho hospital would receive him for six weeks only,"

"Six weeks! He wquires treatment for six months."

"Of course be dors but according to the rules of the APC, patients are not allowed to remain longer."*

Why, that in simply to send them back to die.

"Naturally, but that is no concern of the Governors."

"What do you wena ?"

{

brutalised and immoral condition of the pour is these ports, and the evil Ims grown by leaps and bonde since then. Nothing was done in over half a century to remedy the mischief, only now are men and women waking to the respousi- bility.

Something for Mothers to Think About EVERY CHILD born into the world with an inherited or early developed tendency to distressing, disfiguring humours of the skin, scalp, and blood, becomes an object of the most tender solicitude, not only because of its suf- fering but because of the dreadful fear that the disfigura- tion is to be lifelong and mar its future happiness and prosperity. Hence it becomes the duty of mothers of such afflicted children to acquaint themselves with the best, the purest, and most effective treatment available, Viz
