thirds Of our human race bearing the same
name. How he lifts the despairing spiri
of his brother in trouble. All The day
he had met with cold eyes, cold smiles
cold bows, and cold sympathy, Men fly

fraid now; what's your trouble? Out

our most successful merchants done the
same thiug--made mistakes! And
where would they have been if they had
not found friends? Come, what do you
want--how much? lie don't clap his
hands into his pockets, with a a.styx-like

that squeezes sixpence till it squeals,
and reads newspaper with greedy. vo-

more than gain. His passport
