"But the Greatest of shcse is Charity"
From the Boston Commercial Bulletin
An incident IN the life of Young man in this
city came 10 our knowledge the other day which,
from the spice of romance il contains, as well
as an illustration of what vast deal of good
slight bestowal of charity sometimes does, makes
it worthy of record.
AS the young clerk and friend we're passing
hastily throut Broad street, one raw, chilly
day in November few years ago, they saw
standing near the corner of India street. as
they turned to go down the wharf poor old
woman, thlhly clad in a calico dress, tattered
bonnet and shawl, holding on her arm small
basket in which were few uninvitng looking
apples, which she vainly offered 20 the hurryIng
pedestrians that passed her. Her stockingless
feet. thu ust into old slippers, and few threads
of white hair scattered over her forehead, she
stood shlverlng in the keen searching wind as
our TWO clerks drew nj ar.
Poor old woman! said one as he approached
the poor creature. aud with sudden impulse
he plunged his hand into his pocket, and grasp
ing every cent it contained, threw it into her

not believe it.
The next day the matter was forgotten. and
indeed might never have been remembered again
had it not been brought to mind il the following
manner:
The neSt summer, one day, as the young man
was busy over his ledgers in an inner counting
room at his employers store, he was summoned
10 the outer office by the message that some
one wished to see him. Going out, he saw wait.
