THE SHINING FACE.
A
. YOUNG girl -ofteri met .. an old
Quaker lady as she went to and
the street-cars. The
wrinkled face grew upon her irresist-
ibly: . 0ne day a sudden impuIse
caused her to address the quaint old
soul, saying, "Won't you let me kiss
you?" .. "Ye.s,. dear, .certain,ly,.'? came.
the sweet response;
This the beginning of a beauti-
. ful sanctified friendship. One day-
young lady inquired of the older
one: "Weren't you surprised, that
time in the car, . when I asked you to
let me kiss you?' ' ''Oh; no, dear; ''
was the unexpected reply, . "people
often ask me that." The soul-sweet-
. ness and light 'shining in the withered
face .called forth _swift from
other pure, r Erceptive souls. .

"HAVE your shoes ?''
out a small boy near the Umon
station' among a group of people
just from the train: A young
man who heard the cry stayed his
steps, hesftatingly, for he haq . not
much more money in his pocket than
he had blacking on his shoes. But to
hesitate . was to fall into the shoe-
black's hands, and the brushes were
soon wrestling with splashes of rural
clay. When the shine was completed
the young man han$ie.d the boy a dime
and felt that he had marked his way
into the great city with an act of
charity, for in his heart he did not
care how his shoes looked. But as he
was putting himself together for a
new start, he saw the boy who had
cleaned his shoes approach the blind
beggar, who sits behind- the railroad
fence, and drop a dime into his cup.
"What did you <:}o that for?" asked
the young man.
"You see, " said the boy, "that wa '3
the tenth dime today, an' me teacher
at told me I ought to
give a tenth of all I makes to the Lord. _
See? An' I guess the ol' blind man
wants a dime more than, the Lord,_ so
I gave-it to-him . . See?"
