The "Old Capitol, - in Washington, is off
cred for sale or rent. What memories, what
associations, cluster around, and are connected
with, that old building, in former days, and
alast more recently Once its walls echoed
the voices Of the sages of the land, in their
most eloquent debates. Lately, they enclosed
prisoners arrested by military authority,
often without cause, and for no offence.

soiourning under one roof for only some six
TO eight months, the title fell to me; and
proposed to, and did, fight it out on that line
all summer. in the early autumn a new
champion of the table succeeded to a vacancy.
Think for moment of the blessed in
fuences going out from true home. The
old hearthstoHe of the child glows ia the eye
of the youth like the star of hope it is the
rock of manhood, and in old age it is like the
shadow of a great rock in weary land.
Look then at boarding house child, with
out home IN esSe, posse, meminiSse. Original
castaway Shuttlecock between the vanities
and the inanities, bubble of bubbles, feather
tossed ON every wind of nothingness, young
convert to materialism, unconscious martyr
to the trumperies, human victim on the altar
of the superfcialities What is he good for 2
What will he be good for What will you do
with himl He has no safeguards, no oins pirations
Home is to him awOrd without ameaning; it can
never be anything more than sundry numbers
in sundry streets. Whence is his motive
power2 where are his idealsl whittier his
aspirations lady, having asked a former
servant Of hers where she was now living, re-
ceived the answer 81 don't i've board. -
The answer was true in a sense not thought
of. To live is one thing; to board is another
especially in the case of the young, whose
character is still in the making. The child of
the clearinghouse only exists. He has no
memories, no sanctities, no principles, no
handspring. Faith, and tenderness, and all
spiritual things, are nipped in the bud; and
the bloom and sweetness of innocence and
purity are wiped away. And when he drags
his existence to its prime, of what possible
worth will he be to himself, to you, to me, to
society,"
We are now only in the beginning of the
clearinghouse era. But when the climax is
reached, when the minima become maxima,
when tendencies work themselves out into
facts, when exceptions become rules, when the
elements have shaped themselves into an
organization, and the parts have adjusted
themselves to a system-when, in short, the
clearinghouse has grown into worldwide
institution, and men dwell only in vast cara
vansaries-ther tell me where, in the language
of the popular play-Where shall we go to p
atlantic Monthly.
