This kindness oi disposition is in truth am

Is tn cloudy whcather, OF what d green spot is
TO a barren desert. 1t knows no Partially;
and has no object To serve. 1t flows as lavish

amid childish prattc, as in the counscls of

by soiae natural affinity towards that which
Is pure and GENEROUS. Only lc Hudson make

questions 10 put, 50 m'ny wonders TO show
that one Is almost inclined to pity poor Hud-
son; and yet no man could be happier, answer
ing wondering, and amusing with am cauan-
unity that would battle patience herself to sur
pass. Nor must his Kindness be shown To
themselves alone. 1t is only the other day
that young hopeful, scarcely four years old,
came dragging into the parlor large New
ioundland dog, shaggy and wet, against the
dress of our friend; nor could he be- persuaded
10 d. sist, but urged as his slea that .'Blucher
wanted 10 hnotc Mr. hudson And know
him certainly he did, for animals as well as
children have AN Instructive knowledge of
kindness, and read our looks and interpret our
tones with precision still more unerring.
Hudson, kind hearted fellow is also an am

that opens the door would not do il hall so
readily Tor any other person. She knows his
knock; the very sound OF his football tells her
that's Mr.. Hudson" His coat and hat are
laid aside with unusual care; he is ushered in

we are not home, he is told that mistress
and the children are just in the parlor;" or is
greeted with, would YOU wait a little, sir?'
or with some such expression of humble re-
gard, that never meets the car of any save
your kind hearted gentleman. The ladies also
are all IN rdpturcs with him. When their
health is proposed, he is invariably selected 10
reply; indeed, not party or picnic could take
place without him, any more than it could be

II has often puzzled us TO understand how
Hudson contrives 10 answer the thousand de

pruspcrs more than those who make twenty
times more hustle. The fact is. that kindness
OF heart Is centre of attraction in business az
II Is In social life; and his readiness ever TO
obllge Is the very reason why people of sense
reiran from eXaCting too much, and WHY evon
the worthless feel ashamed TO impose upon

anguari,ics and wrinkles which settles on the
