was that his parents wanted him to go to

leased the child and made at Mr. Whidden
with such force that he was compelled to

George PeabOdy-An Affair of the Heart.

TT has been contended by some Of our
good done in the world has been bestowed
by bachelors. Whether this be true or
not, we often wonder that many men,
famous for their kindness of heart and
generosity Of disposition, should remain
single through life There is no more re.
markabe case of this sort than that of the
late George Peabody. 1t is said that in
his history there is romance that per-
haps has never yet been made public.
A humber Of years ago, when Mr.. Pea
body was just entering upon his career OF
success, as business man, in Baltimore,
he met by chance in the street poor girl
who was but child, but whose pleasing
face and gentle manner attracted his notice.
Questioning her as to her parentage and
surroundings, he found her in every way
worthy his regard, and fiji subject for
his benefaction. He ut once adopted her
as his ward, and gave her an education
AS she advanced in age, her charms Of
person as well as The brightness of her
intellect won the affections OF her bene.
factor.
Through this relationship he had ample
opportunity Of watching her progress, and
day by day her hold upon his affections
grew stronger. AT length, as his ward
bloomed into wOmanhoOd, though much
her senior in years, Mr.. Peabody offered
her his hand and fortune. Gratefully APP
precating his generosity, and acknowledge
ing her attachment for him as almost
father, she with great feeling confessed
that honor compelled her to decline the
acceptance Of this, his greatest act of gen
crosby, lnforming hersuitor that her affec
tons had been given TO another clerk in
the employ Of her benetactor.
Though disappointed and grieyously
shocked, the philanthropist sent for his
clerk, and learning from him that the en-
gagement had been Of long duration, Mr..
Peabody at once established his successful
rival in business, and soon after gave his
benediction upon the marriage ofhisward.
This, it is said, was the first blow his heart
received, and it is possible that from this
episode came the inspiration that made
the future of Mr.. Peabody so universally
distinguished, and has rendered his name
famous as a remarkable public benefactor.

Here is a ministerial Joke, from the

ministers has been put in parsonage that
did not come up to the idea of what a
minister should enjoy Recently he has
been called upon to announce that there
would be mite society at the ministerial
dwelling. He said There will be a mite
society on Thursday evening next, at the
parsonage. The parsonage is little, old,
tumble down building on - street.
Some of the older ones of the congregation
took umbrage at this, while the younger
ones laughed, In the evening the parson
was called upon to make the same an
nouncement. After saying that the mite
society would be held in the parsonage,
he paused moment, and then remarked /:
ON the corner of the street near my resi-
dence is a well, said well is covered over
and clapboarded, 1t is implanted and
weather worn, but | wish to describe it so
that none of you may make mistake and
take the well for the parsonage. Themite
society will be held in the parsonage and
