I would bless the hour that these eyes could see you both pillowed on Mother Earth’s bosom !”” As twilight ga'hered slowly about the little lonely band, suggestive of home and everything sacred and beautiful. Harry, in a subdued tone, persisted his inquiries, «« Where 1s father? Why don’t he come home?” Unable to evade any longer, and unwilling to dissemble, the mother repiies “I don’t know,” and the child is left to his conjectures, and to revolve in his eager mind, the prob- jem that some day, secaer or later, must be solved for him.

Here are paintings, flowers, birds, books, and every luxury needed to inake home a‘- tractive; but they are the fruit of an un- lawful labor, and God's blessing rests not thereon! When Harry's father was a child, not a better, happier one could be found. When the holy Sabbath came, he walked by his mother’s side to church; he ac- companied her to the evening prayer- meeungs and sang with her the sacred bymns. With unpolluted lips, he prayed ‘Lead me not into temptation”—no word of profanity or irreverence eszaped them then. But he was early sent away I sels and influences ot hi parents, to school; and here he gradu- liy forget to keep the promise made to his mother at parting, to read his Bible every night, and to say “ Gur Father.’ Out of school-hours, games were the uch as pitching o queits, apie cnongh, and harmiess of hemselves, perhaps, but betting was in troduced to render them more exciting, mating they became! was the next mitiation, mietimes ior money: and thus the aia! step was taken Whea heen- ue was fuliy prepared for uuncuts of bowling and bil- liard- pi he very soon ma- tered. contracted so easily fand so impercepubly, had gained such ‘power over him that it deadened every noble ambition—it had become his mas- ter, now! successfully, for a time, he concealed e yin the truth froia his deare > bur developed itself in all its me uly de- formity very soon after mar riage.

ObTAINING LEVED Mr. Snarl resides in Fors street Mr. Snarl is an old bachslor, with an Irish girl for a housekeeper. Snarl lives in good style, but has some queer no- tions. He dislikes dogs above all things organ grinders and Leggars aot excepted. Snarl's next door bor is Uarry Sampson. Now, Harry is the very op- posite of old Mr. Snarl. He sets a high value on a dog, and there is only one article equal to a Newfoundland, and that’sa woman. Hairy has several spe- cimens of the canine race. The other evening they got up a howling match because the moon was echpsed. They commenced about 10 o'clock and kept it up until the sun got an inch and a half above Williamsbarg. ‘This so annoyed Mr Snarl, that he had Harry jerked up for “a nuisance,’ and fined ten dollars. Harry paid t money but resolved on revenge. The next morning the following advertise- ment appeared in the Haiald : Wanzzep—At Forsyth street, two Bull Dogs, and four span of pups. For full- blooded Dogs ihe highest price will be paid. Call between 4 and 6, p. m. James SNARL. We need not say that the advertise- ment was inserted by Harry. His rea- son for making the calls between 4 and 5, p. m., was because Mr. Snarl was always out at that hour, taking an airing around the Battery. At the hour specified, dogs and pups might have been seen going up the Bow- ery to Grand, to Forsyth, and up For- syth to the mansion occupied by Mr. Suarl. ‘The first person that pulled the docr beli was a butcher boy from Contre Mar- ket, with a pair of bull dogs that would’ “*tear hell out of a tiger.” Maggie an- swered the beil. when the following col- loquy took place ; THE WEEKLY STAR.

She accordingly told Syksie to go into the back yard “wid the dogs,” and await the return of Mr. Snarl. Syksie did so. In about two minutes Margie was again summoned to the deor bell. “ bg do a want ? “Mr. Snarl—I've got them do, wanted.” ante «You have: well, then, g0 into the yard wid the other blackguard ” No. 2 followed No. 1. “No 2 was soon followed by No. 3, who was succeeded by lots 4, 5, and 6.
