It was evening, and a bitterly cold eve- ning too ; through the almost deserted streets the fine snow, borne along by the cutting wind, looked like a light mist. There waa one wearilly toiling Ha the brightly lighted streets, a delicate poking little girl ; with one hand she wa ng to wrap her scanty rugs round her waisted body, and ia the other which was blue and benumbed with cold, she had a few matches. Her face was word and pinched and duty, but it was a very beautiful, patient little face; her hair 100 would have been beauuful ; its vatural color was golden, but it was shaggy and dinny. She had left far behind the shops and all the basy part of London, but still impelled by some strange fascination sha wandered westward, On and on she wandered ; she was not unhappy, she scarcely knew why; but she had a strange unnacustomed feeling of light heartedness. She knew that when she went home she would be beaten for staying out so late, and yet she only felt inclined to laugh, At last when she had wandered away from her usoal bauonts, her head felt so ge and dizzy, that she thought she would sit down to collect ber-thioughts a little ; eo she crept iuto the porch of a great house that was near, ta get shelter from the wind, and crouched down. No sooner had she done this, than all her light-heartedvess seemed to leave her, and she burst into tears. It was very strange that directly she burst into tears she heard a confusion of sounds around her, wild mocking laughter, and shouts, and stamping of feel, and strange lights were dancing before her eyes; the stones on which she was lying seemed to be heaving and tossing, and she telt very frightened just for a minute and then she fell asleep The sounds still went on in her sleep, but they quickly got softer, and sweet- er and turned into music. And alter the litle match girl thougiit whe was standing in the middle of a very beautiful garden, and somehow it seemed to her that she had known it a long time ago. 'I'he winter had passed away, and it was glorions summer weather; the flowers were in full bloom, beautiful-voiced birds were minging, and hay colored butterflies were flitting about. While she was standing wondering that all these strange things should seem so familiar to her, a beaunlul boy with golden curls came to her, and said : «0, sister Lily! come and play, wh have you stayed away so long pf hyo She looked up and seemed to know the happy face quite well, and she answered him quite naturally, and her voice was not like her old thin voice, but soft shd clear, and seemed like a voice that belonged to her a long time ago. "I don't know where I have been, but let us come and play now, Tom." " Aud then she took his hand, and they walked on together ; and then all her oli miserable life seemed to fade away from her mind, like the memory of a bad dream, and it seemed 10 her that she had always been accustomed to play about in that beautiful ¢ Suppose we have a game of hide and seek," ASP 2 « That will be very nice, but who shall hide first 7% an They had to have a little consultation about this very important matter, but at last it was decided that Lily should hide first. (lt was very strange that the name of Lily though she had been called Doll as long ds she could remember. a rose-bush, and there: she found a great hole in the ground, big enough tor her to creep into; and she creptinto it, and she. found that it led into & dark passage with a soft ghmmering light at the end of it; and she went towards the light, and she found that it came from a kind of archway at the end of the passage. She went through the cavern lit up witn' many-eolored sparkling lights," trom thousands of precious slones, with which the sides and roof of the cavern were studded. While she was standing awe-struck with wonder at that beautiful place, she heard by her side a flutter of light wings, and turning round, she saw hover- ing over her a beautiful litle being with long golden hair, ghttering like woven sun- bears; she had on a dre«s of green gossa- mar, and from her shoulders sprang green wings, sheeny and bright hike the throat of a humming bird, " Come!' warbled the fairy, and her voice was dreamy and sweet like.the coo of a stock dove. « Come, and I will sho you sometlung very wonderful." t And she took Lily by the hand, and led her through a cleft inf the rock to another chamber, which was lined, roof, walls and floor, with soft green moss, and all around the chamber were beautiful crowns, studdea with diamonds ; some were full, some were nearly empty ; and continually fairy forms fllnted in and out of the chamber, bearin, pitchers full of diamonds, which they put into the crowns. Then Lily was very mueh surprised, and she turned to the fairy and said, " Where do they get all these dia- monds to make these crowns?" The diamonds," warbled tha little fairy "are tears of sorrow, shed by unhappy people in the world ; for always, while they are weeping, there is a fairy watching to catch their tears and bring them heye." " And what are those v: diamonds in the middle crewns 7% " Those are tears of joy ; no crown can be finished without them." * Then Lily wandered round the chamber, and saw that almost all the crowns Yeo some tears of joy and some of sorrow ; but she came at last to one that was quite full of tears of sorrow, and bad in 1t no tears of joy at all and on it was a name~ Polly the matoh-girl ; and she felt very sad and then --she woke, : : She woke ; and saw bending over her a large bright gn said, ina cold, unfeeling voice: # How very tiresome that this beggar child should choose my porch, of all places, 1a creep into for shelter; bat I cannot turn her out on svoch a night as this. Here James, carry her down to the kitchen, and let her sleep before the fire ; you can give hier a piece of bread before you turn her out in tbe morning." Then a tall footman, with a kind gond- natured face, lifted up the ragged child and carried her tenderly into the great hall of the house. It was all very strange, but as in her dream.she had seemed to remember every - thing 1a that grand hall had been very fa- miliar to her for a long time ago; and her dream came back 10 her so vividly, that she cried out with a loud voice : «0, Tom! Tom ! where are yon hiding ? Do come to me ; [ am not playing now." The stern lady * had been walking slowly up stairs, but wien that sad cry reached Ro ents she turned round. Her face was very pale, she siobd trembling on the stairs for a moment ; then with a wild hysterical sob she rushed down, snaiched the little beggar girl from the footman, and covered her dirty little face with kisses. Then it seemed to the little match-girl that the beautiful lady's fase had been fa- miliarto her a lung, long time ago, and she was wondering how it could all be; when again she heard the wild mocking laughter ringing in her ears, the whole world seemed tossing and heaving up and down, flames were dancing in her eyes and she became insensible. . . . . A long, long fime seemed to have passed and the little match-gitl opened her eyes drousily ; she felt very weak, but somehow very happy. She was lying on a clean white bed, in a beautiful room, which seemed somehow familiar to her, and she heard voices talking in whispers close to her bed. 4 Yes, m'm, when I heard that Miss Lily had come back, I couldn't be kep' away they told me at hone that you would hate the sight of my face, because it was through my carelessness that she was stole, but [ to draw me so strong when [ was passing tha door that I rang the bell; and when the door was opened, without a word to anyone I walked straight vp to thie room. [al- ways used to be timid, but I felt I must come soraehow." «0, nurse! nurse! I am so glad you have come. Since I lost my Lily, and Tom died, and my husband died, I have not had a real [riend in the world--many grand ac- quaintances, but not one real friend. And when' Lily came back [ wanted some one to speak 10. But hush | she 1s awake »' . . . . . . Then there, was another long blank, and when the child next came to herself she saw the beautiful lady kneeling by her bedside, with her face hidden in the bed- clothes, sobbing. Lily felt sorry that one who had been so kind to her should be in trouble, and raising her little worn hand, she laid it on the beantifu) head, and saiv, (she knew not why, but the word seemed 10 1ise familiarly from her lips), * Mam- mal"?

Lily was a very thonghtful child; she had plenty of time for thought when wan- dering about the streets sellirg matches, and now she conld not help turning over in her mind that dréam about the crowns. -- She' thought that row her crown waa full, for she h.d shed tears of joy ; but when the asked her mother about it, she had only oust herself upon the bed in a passion of tears, and subbed out : « Not yet, my darling!

Ore mght she did not feel quite so com- fortable ae usual: she did not know that anything wae the matter, but she bad a strange kind of feeling that something was going to happen.

And she awoke. She woke cold and shi But with her brawn on fire, and whole world was throbbing, and wild shoots were ringing in her ears.

The lady made no answer, but only bent down her head and wept bitterly. At last she raised her head and said,-- " Not mine my child, not mine. Its only the good who will wear their sorrows as a crown ; you have won a erown to wear, bat [ am weak and sinful. You must not leave me, you must not leave me. I can- not bear it." There was silance for a moment. When Lily spoke again her voice was very, very faint and weak,-- " Remember--poem you read to me, Thoagh my lamp is lighted late, there's One will leg me in." FoF'® moment there was a wild light in the poor mother's eyes. Those words evi- dently stirred up some old memory in her heart. She looked inte the eyes of her dy- «~| ing child, the wild gleam faded out of her eyes when she spoke her voice was calm- Lf Sd "It may be my child. I will try and bear it. But it is very hard, my darling ! it is very hard !"? The words fell on an ear that heard them not; there was a look of intense ecstastic happiness 'on the child's fuce; she was looking eagerly upwards. Her whole soul seemed 10 be glittering in her eyes. She spoke, but her voice no longer sounded weak and faint, it was the old melodious, child-like voice come back again,-- 4 0, mamma ! the crown, the crown I'? She started forward, but her strength failed her, and the weary little head fell back upon her mother's shoulder. Her lips moved, she smiled faintly and then the tir- ed soul went to its rest.-- The People's Magazine. ee ll A A, THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVAN- TAGES OF CHEESE FACTORIES. \ One of the most intelligent and experi- enced dairymen in the State of New York, Mr. X. A. Willard, of Little Falls, briefly es claimed for erior quality, tories thus: "The advar the factory system are uniformity, higher price ng by buying at wholesale such as salt, bandag annalto, boxes, &c., and finally, relieving the farmer and his family from the drudgery of the manufacture and care of cheese." -- That these tlaima ace just there can be Tittle' doubt,and they sertainly go very far to com- mend the establishments in question to pub- lic attention and favor. It is easy to see that a factory superintendent thoroughly nn- derstanding his bos giving his entire time and attentson to it, and having every facility for doing things in the most approv- ed manner; is-likety to-produce--an-urticle of cheese far superior in qualily lo that made, under many difficulties, it 'may be, in the farmer's family. No doubt, with special care, as fine an artizle of cheese can be made by the individual farmer as by the factor, but it im an unequal contest, in which the obvious advantages of the factory musi have their influence. Cheese manufactur- ed in small parcels varies much in gnality, and to command a good price, it is neces- nary 10 have the quality as uniform as pos- sible. The factories have already eatablish- ed for themselves a repntation in these re- apects which secures for their products the highest price market. The produce of single dairies is always bonght by large dealers with an allowance for imperfect or unequal cheese. But it in affirmed by com- petent judges that an aggregate of ene hun- dred thousand pounds of foctory cheese ie frequent'y so uniformly excellent in quality that the most practiced eye can scarcely de- tect any difference in (he manufacture. It in said that factory cheese sells pt a price above that of single danies equal to the whole cost of manufacturing. In Navem- ber last, good cheese of family manufacture sold from ten to twelve and a-half cents per und, while Oneida factory cheese brought ourteen cents, and the large sizes, weighing from 700 to 1,000 pounds sach, bronght in some cases as high as seventeen cents a pound, A better price, too, ean be afforded by the wholesale dealer for the factory-made article, because less time, trouble and_expense sre consumed in the purchase. It is as easy to buy the pro- duce of six hundred or a thousand cows as that of a "twenty cow' dairy, eo far as time and trouble are concerned. Passing over the saving effected in the materials usedin cheese making, it appears 10 ns that the relief afforded by the jactory plan to the farmers' wives and daughters is an import- ant consideration. This argument is even ore weighty in Canada than in the United | tates, where the men assist in opera- tions more largely than the i in this country. Here the . entire burden rests on the female members of the family, and man an over-taxed wife and mother finds the care of her dairy a very serious addition to ber toilsome household duties. That emi- nently practical medical writer, Dr. Hall, in an article on the health of farmers' families expresses the opinion that ¢ many a farmers wife is literally wolked to death, 1a an in- adverfant manner, from want of reflection or consideration on the part of her husband ;* and Mr. Willard, whom we quoted at the enumerates the advantages of cheese fac- | i"Indeed, you a the health of women in cheere-darying dis- iricts than any other cause." He styles this the most impoitant advantage to far- mers in this union arrangement," and adds : jt would be difficult to estimate this in dollard and cents,' since the value of health da Farmer. These, according to Dr. Willard aré some of the advantages of Cheedq Factories, ard the fol!lowing are in my opinion their princi- pal drawbacks. . First, the difficulty of de tecting the adultration of milk and punish. ing the guilty parties. The trouble of car- rying it to the factory. The dangerin hot weather of its becoming sour ; and lastly, the difference in the quality of milk arising from the manner in which cows are fed and managed. With regard to the adulteration of milk, there are instruments by which it may be de'acted and for the protection of cheese manufacturers and their patrons a fine of from $510 $80 can be imposed on any person found guilty of sending adulter~ ated milk to the fustory. The daily delivery of milk at the factory ata regular hour is doubtless attended with trouble ; bat the question is whether that trouble be tot well repaid. As to the liability of milk to sour, extra care and cleanliness in all the vessels used in milking, straining, and carrying to the factory and especially the substitution of tin milk pails for of wooden, "i ually prevent this. Oa the whole therefore the advantages of this 3/iiom would seem greatly to out-weigh itd disadvantages, and we cannot but wish 10 see the cheese factory become a popular matution in Ontario. CHEESE MANUFACTURER. THE WILL, A litle Irish boy, going to school with his Bible under hig.arm. was met by d minister who asked him what book he had there. " It is a will, sir," said tha boy. " What will 7" arked the minister, " The last will and testament that Jesuve Christ left to me, and to all wha wish to olaim a title to the property therein left." said the boy. * What did Jesus Christ leave you in that wii?" " A kingdom, sir." " Where does the kingdom lie 7" "It is the kingdom of heaven sir." "And do you expect to reign as king there 7? A " Yes air, as a joint heir with Christ."
