When he had reached the vicinity of the church of St. Eustache, the little fellow, who could only with difficulty make his way through the crowd, was violently jostled by a stranger who was passing, so that his basket tipped, and fell to the ground with its contents. The poor lad, when he saw his eggs all broken, and his butter all tumbled into the gutter, began to cry bitterly, and wring his handsA person who happened to be in the crowd that gathered around the little fellow drew a ten sous little piece from his pocket, and, giving it to the boy, asked the rest who stood grouped around him to do the same, to make up the loss occasioned by this accident. Influenced by his example, everyone present eagerly complied; and very speedily the boy's apron contained a respectable collection of coppers and silver. When all had contributed their quota, our little boy, whose distress had vanished in a moment, as though by enchantment, warmly thanked his new benefactors for their kindness, and forthwith proceeded to count the sum he had received, which amounted to no less than twentytwo francs and thirty-five centimes. But, instead of quietly putting the sum in his pocket, he produced the bill of the articles he had lost, and as its total amounted only to fourteen franes, he appropriated no more than that sum; and then, observing in the group that surrounded him a poor woman in sad rags, the little fellow walked up to her, and placed the remainder in her hand. Certainly it would have been impossible for him to have hown himself more deserving a public generosity,

"I WILL BE GOOD TO-DAY."

"I WILL be good, dear mother,"
I heard a sweet child say;
"I will be good! now watch me,-
I will be good all day."

She lifted up her bright young eyes,
With a soft and pleasant smile;
Then a mother's kiss was on her lips,
So pure and free from guile.

And when night came, that little one,
In kneeling down to pray,
Said, in a soft and whispering tone,
"Have I been good to-day?"

O! many, many bitter tears

'Twould save us, did we say,

Like that dear child, with earnest heart,
"I will be good to-day."
