The pile wu a large one ; at a rough guem, one might estimate it t to rootain from two to three thousand . doUtra. After gaxing tilt, one is tempt- ( ed to take a second look at the old man to whom it appetri to belong. The tight of ao much gold in such t scene of I privation and hardship It enough to , show that h<na a miser. It Is the old man's luxury— the only one he allows . himself— to count over his gold piece by , piece every day, as well for the pleasure It gives him to handle it ss for the pur. , I pose of ascertaining whether any are . ? miming.

This duty performed, he took from a I shelf a baiter's loaf, which, in consider. ! ation of lta a'aleneaa, be had obtained at greater appearance ot relish than might ; hive been expected, from its not very . Inviting look. After eating half the loaf. Old Sunon . surveyed the remainder with a wistful ] look, as if he would gladly have prolonged his meal ; but prudential motives overruled his appotite, and he reluctant- , ly replaced It on the shelf. streets. Over his rudely patched and j , tattered wardrobe be threw a camlet K cloak, which made him a shade more respectable, and went out to pursue bis j , daily work. He belonged lo s clan such ( as a city ooly affords ; lie msde it hb business to hover about piles of rubbish, poking them over with his cane, and J with his fingers. If need be, in tearch of , any stray articles of value, however small, which might be converted Into monry. It to an Insignificant business, bnt , more profitable than might be supposed. Occasionally a spoon, an article of Jew. olry, or a silver coin, wonld tarn up. ' One day Old Simon stumbled upon a j ten-dollar gold piece. Of course such windfalls were not common ; still, by re- j duclng his expenditures to the smallest possible limit. Old 81mon's hoard daUy , Increased till it amounted to nearly three dollars. If be could have made up his mind to Invest It, U would liavo increased faster ; but the old msu was suspicious sod distrustful. lie did ( not want It known how rich he was ; besides, the daily right ot his slowly in- ^ creasing hoard was the enjoyment of bis daily life. Bo be kept his money to himsoU ; and was generally thought to be f miserably poor. With hla cane sopportlng his uncertain steps, be went out to pursue hla ( to be an unfortunate day for 1 him. In attempting to cross the street i not very far from hia own room. Either he was less circumspect than usual, or , because his pace was slower, he was struck by an advancing carriage, and , thrown down In such a position that the , wheels of the carrisge passed over him. There wsa a confused outcry on the , part of these who witnessed the old man's fall, and then a rush to the spot ( where he lay, still and senseless. It was , ascertained that his leg was broken. No one seemed ready to offer him a place or reception, until a comely .woman of mid- . die age came forward; and surveyed the ( old man's prostrate form with a look of , compassion. She thought of her own , father, who had recently deceased, and , who must have been of about the same , age, sod bar heart was filled with pity , for Old Simon. " You may carrv him Into my bourc," she said. " It is close by." It was an humble place in which lira. , Kenton lived. There wsa but four ( rooms In aO. one of those on the lower floor being a small bed room. In which . the usually slept— the two rooms being , appropiialed to her four children. Old Slmot was carried Into the bod- , room, and deposited on Mrs. Kenton's | own bed. Charlie, the second boy, was [ despa-ched for • doctor, who let the broken leg. and left the old man In the , care of the good Samaritan who had kindly taken him Into her house. , While the old man is lying Insensible, we will Improve the time In gathering , Information ref peeling Mrs. Kenton and , her family. She had been a widow for the last three years, but, with a spirit which did , credit, look measures to lure the , family energies into a productive chin- . i Jim, the eldest, was fortunate enough a to secure a situation In a grocery store, t which yielded him three dollars a week. t Two-thirds of this was his contribution , lo th»fUnily expenses ; this enough to - pay (orient and fuel— two very Impor. , lent items. Jane, the eldest daughter. , worked srtth her mother for the shops, , and Charlie fpnnd odd Jobs to do. So ( they managed to get along comfortably, , though It may well be sopp-sed that they bad little to spare. . It was hardly a prudent thing for Mrs. ( Kenton to assume the trouble and ex. penae of an Inmate Uka Old Simon. Yet when Jim catae from the store lo supper and found-whs t his mother had done, he did not think of blaming bar ttte appeal . of helpless and apparently poverty- , stricken old age lo the warm, aympa. , Ihehc hearts of mother sad son to ao , powerful that neither thought of count. , ing the coat. , " When I thought of your grand fa- f titer," said the mother, " and how I should have felt If each aa ecrtient had befallen hip, I couldn't M him lit there- " \ " You did quite right, mother.

" Poor folks must help poor folks ; and though wo have not much lo t ' and you are welcome to stay with t os until you are better." ; ' In apite of his accident Old Simon t ' cjuld not restrain a feeling of gnllfica- , lion that be was to be provided for with- ) out charge lo himself. A momentary r ' board disturbed him ; but on having the ' two keys placed In hb hand, he felt f ' easier. , Day followed day. and etill the old . 1 man remained In inmate of Mrs. Ken- . ton's dwelling.

Horn* 'nstructtonro SawtoE and Home training In sewtag or booking, which hu not yet become "old-fuhlon. ed" in sensible faaQiee, may receive t greater usefulness from, incorporation Into lta beat feature of me mere scientific methods of the public courses of the sewing or cooking school Instruction at home In there uatfnl branches Is apt . to be oo desultory and inr (Sclent* that some mothers bare given up their dories they should devote thought In preparation and rime La pattern lessons, there is why Use modem girl should 'not u fine to needlework as her I grandmother who practiced upon xsami pier, and equally skilled in cooking. If a public school, In which-lhii part of the manual training system Is In ■ is convenient for visiting purs mother would gain many suggestions from s study of Me teacher's i method. Among school exhibitions those of sewing and cooking. The girls i their beat gowns, welcoming their i mothers with faces beaming xrilh pride, i spread with dainty clothes or well-pre- . pared articles of food. There are among the garments, all sorts of underwear and and oven while and colored gowns, , handkerchiefs and bags, pieces of fancy i stitches, perhaps not so fine u those ot i the experience sewing woman, but exearnest oe«s and patient effort. ; Or the tables may be spread with loaves , of white bread, cakes, pies end other I disboa showing the work of tho cooking course. They look delicious and are 1 evidences of eagerly learned lessons, i The most evident suggestion to be de- , rived from tbe profession *1 sewing ■ school is Its sj-slem. The child Is ln- , Hlructed st regular hours, not according : celres valuable moral discipline. There exists much prejudice sgalust the oldfaslilonod "stent," but its revival would I doubtless he beneficial in many famlHce: l and with all its irksomcneas. It is more , desirable than an unsystematic way of i working. Another admirable professI feature is order with cleanliness. I Each child lias her own scissors, thim- - and other sewing utensils and a hag obliged to have clean hands and asked I struction. mi that tie puptl may progress naturally and gradually. It la found i profitable to begin with making a bag, ■ "over and over," running, and even buL I ton-hole making. Krcm the bag as s . foundation, the pupil is led gently and ! and patiently through many kinds of - form the great result of making a iblrt The most valuaUc lesson learned Is thst I ing Is spt to*be particularly deficient. The sewing trecBsr fiaqulrvs her pnpUs needles, make their knots sod feel s re- , sponalbility for their work, but the mother sometimes lack? the patience I necessary for inaisttag upon these dalles. There li nothing sweeter than the mother anil lier little daughters engaged upon the same, pleasant occupation In which No school training can equal this communion, for home love and confidence are being developed during the hour of sewing ; and many lessons are learned besides stitches. The more valuable it , ence, U added e scientific knowledge of { the subject. Cooking schools give many suggceI randa ; each bos attached lo her belt a fire and a clean cloth for wiping diahae. A carefully arranged system of instruction, partly adapted from that In the [ English schools enables tbe pupil to leani all grades of her department from making a fire lo preparing a difficult en- , trrr. When a girl cooks at home, she is \ apt to make cake and Charlotte boom ami salads with nicety and to neglect plain rooking ; but a scientifically In- , strucled pupil begins first with soup. , make bread or breakfast roll ; to broil steak, to prepare oat meal and other cereals anil to cook a plain dinner. She lias an Intelligent appreciation of her work, for she understands the chemical . propei ties of food and the coat of each article . she cooks with neatness, aocuj and daintiness. With thought and , care, the home cook with even better opportuities might attain equal skill. — ' On the whole, farming is not a profit- | able busineas in the United Btates. It ! of strong and vigorous men, but H is not attractive, and It Is not attractive , because it not profitable. Seldom do tbe sons of well-to-do farmers become As soon as they arc old enough ■ to strike out for themselves, they will found In the towns, not opon the • Nor ere lands In the old States which are not near enongh to populous i dries to bo profitably used for market ■ gardens, Increasing to value. So far is this from being the case, that very few I farms in those States could be sold to- ' day for prices which they readily commanded twenty years ago. Investments , in lands which ore valuable for egricult- , only, are not now regarded with I favor by capitalists. Better use for their , money Is found elsewhere.— Hugh Mc- , Culiock, to Scribntft Magotint tor Oc- , lober. ' le Consumption Incurable? ' Bead tbe following: Mr. C. H.
