benefactor stood at his side. No word ol
censure or rebuke fell from the lips of the
excellent man; as he stood contemplating
the change few hours had made in the

have been happy in offering you tempo

Only look of wild anguish replied to his
kind offer, and again he said mildly,
MY son, pity you; and il may be can
aid you, al any rate tell me your name and
your story without fear
Oh how these words fell upon the ears
of the stranger, the tones of the good old
mans voice awaking in his heart the same
feelings which the blessed glances of the
stars had aroused there when he struggled
with himself, alone and wretched. Tears
streamed down his drunken cheek, as he
informed his host that he was foreigner
with neither friends nor home.

only wish TO die unknown. God bless you,
sir, for your kindness, il quite overcomes
me; but hope for nothing but grave
The old man looked distressed and sor-
rowful, and hardly knew what to do to
arouse in Leslie less discouraging feelings
but at length approached him in solemn
and tender voice, he said, 4
