Stepping out OF Eigth-st this morning into tna
airest Of our avenues which unites such stately al
Of city wealth with the bright fresh Ioo of Suburban
beauty, we cav near the church ust opposite the bre
wort tall lsdy dressed in black. with t.in long
pale intellectual face and noble mien and to her
was tie worn, withered form Of poor old woman.
She did not beg bu. looked up to her with mplo-
ing silence more eloquent than speech. The ladys
first impulse was to walk without noticing the mute
suppliant, and two three varying thoughts passed
like shadows resting but moment, over her pale face.
Il may be lhet the poor womans eye so full Of help
LEES sorrow, fell softly upon her heart, that in the
momentary futter Of her dark dress she caught the
whisper Of some dear friend, in whose memory she
it, telling her that sadness the lot sometimes
Of all, and sweetly pleading mercy; we know not the
thought which stopped her. but she stopped, not de-
Eberstey mpusiyely, but reluctantly rather indg-
nnnty, and looking anxiousy around, evidently afraid
her commiseratioD might by the passers by be taken
for ostentaton with voice tremulous with haste and
made harsh by the struggle between conventionaity
and pity, she asked the poor woman, What do you
"want7"
The suppliant did not speak but we heard her sobs
and saw her tears she took up the coin the lady
haughiy Dropped striving to let her thanks be heard
but overcome with shame and sorrow. II the lsdys
manner had been kind her act the poor mind CALLED
with shame, might have been touched by sympathy
the wretched heart wounded with sorrow, might have
been gladdened by kindly SMILE But though there
was relief there no encouragement, no hope.
In the abstract no one will advocate the judcious-
ness Of giving slns, not knowing those to whom we
give or how they may it, still intellectual principle
should be tuored SO as not 10 engender heartess in
difference to positive sorrow YETI give or not give, we
can show sympathy. Better we a mite with it than
golden pieces without. Who can measure its won
drous power on the human hearth gentle word
has shsmed the most stolid beggar into sefrespect
and sent breeze into the dropping sail Of the heart
Of the sensitive and honest destitute, encouraging him
to breast the storms of life. But charity contempt
ueusly OF indifferenty given often hardens the re-
cipients heart, and at all events degrades in self
respec-that prolific of persistence in beggary
and vice. How many would leap to redemption but
that they feel it is placed beyond their reach
AS we saw the tall lady pass hurriedly up the ave.
nue. and the old crouch still near the gates Of
the church. Frustrated with gratitude and grief felt
in looking upon both how much blessed it is to
"give than to receive Yet that harsh What do
"you want? 2" still came up and rang rudely in our
ears. AS musingly we passed away we thought how
much more infinitely blessed it were delicately aud
gracefully to offer aid, than to wait until it is reuct
aptly asked.

danger Of their molesting any one, even to the

of Harlem by five runs. Harlem brought some good
players, decidedly too strong team 10 compete with

erson kept up to the mark and showed they had
plenty Of spunk. Hallass boweled well for them
though, he was cot so fortunate with the bat. But
ter was capital longstop and allowed very few balls
to pass him. Shaw made an excellent score, among
them fours when Bates bowled him down for ~ runs.
Law began well but got his leg in the way. Hinch-
life after getting thIees and wos very nicely was
caught by Sam Wrightfor IL runs. Buchanan who was
not able TO reach the ground in time to field played
very nicely with his bat and seemed well in when he
got run out for e runs-they only wanted runs to
win and the next two most provokingy got round

A RIVAL RAILROAD TO THE GREAT NEsIERs.-
II il sad that Mr. Zimmerman the large landed propri
etor at Egin, the western termination of the Railway
Susp, nsiop Bridge is about going TO England TO raise
money to build direct line from Eigin TO Maiden
through Canada West. to connect with the Michigan
Souhem Railroad. This would make direct compe
tition with the Great Western, which in the end would
be fatal to both lines We fancy that IL the London
capitalists knew this they would make the condition
of their loans 10 Mr. Zimmerman that be should re-
move his line south of the Suspension Bridge TO Buff
fao. From tlis city the North Shore Road would
most properly and most probably start. lt could
cross the river by tunnel or bridge, and be con-
tinuous line Of travel and traffic between Southern
Michigan and Illinois the west, and Albany, Bos-
ton and New-York City on the east. Such line
would pay wonderfully well on its through traffic ~
well az on itsw ay business. Started from MIR. Zin-

Canadian holders of lis shares.
