A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE STORY.

Thk following is quoted by Unity, from the Journal of Women's Work:—"A newsboy took tho Sixth Avenue elevated railroad cars at Park-place, New JTork, at noon on Thanksgiving Day, and sliding into one of the cross seats fell acleop. At Grand-street two young women got on and took seats opposite to the lad. His feet were bare, and his hat had fallen off. Presently the young girl leaned over and placed her muff under the young fellow's dirty cheek. An old gentleman, in the next seat smiled at the not, and, without saying anything, held out a quarter, with a nod towards the boy. The girl hesitated, and then reached for it. The next man just as sileutly offered a dime, a woman outside tho aisle held out some pennies, nnd before she knew it, the girl, with flaminpr cheeks, bad taken money from every passenger in that end of the car. She quietly slid the amount into the sleeping lad's pocket, removing the muff gently from his head without rousing him, and got off at Twenty-third-street, including all the passengers in a pretty liUlo iuolination of the head that seemed full of thanks and a common secret."
