A LONG WALK.-Three men applied for
lodgings at the station house last night.
They represented that they had walked
from California. They had but little
money when they started and have been
on the road four months. They are now
far from their homes and out of money.
Two of them live in New York aud the
other in Maine. They were properly
cared for by the turnkey last night.-I0-

CHAPTER Ill.
Nothing could equal Mr.. O'Brien's cour-
tesy and attention to me when | got the
EdgLe into hand. Our politics were rather
parochial than EurOpepn; but there were
occasions in which we considered it essen
tial to warn Prussia or threaten France, or
refer to our difficulties with Central Asia.
Our parliamentary representative, who had
promised to develop the mining resources
of CastletOwn, had to be looked after; so
had Mr.. Disraeli and a town commissioner,
who was tailor in private life, and who
addressed letters to me signed as "0uv-
rier." By the time | understood my bust
ness was thoroughly disgusted with it,
and yet it certainly amused me.

was fast coming on and the river was load
ed with brown leaves) that / spent an
evening with Mrs. Brady and, on the arri-
val OF the post, she told me her daughter

her boxes off the roof. When this was

nation of the mystery was simple enough.
Instead of pointing to one of her boxes to
direct me to an address, she had shown me
a trunk that did not belong to her at all.
"And then, you know, when you told
me what you were going to do, | knew all
about it, and wanted TO have some fun with
you when came home"
Upon reaching the house, was still CON

When the great composer was but four
years old he could play all sorts of little pieces
on the piano. He could learn minuet in a
naii hour and longer movement in an hour.
Ahere are pieces still extant which he COM
posed when in his fifth year. These early
prophecies of greatness were fulfilled in his
snort but brilliant life. Born in 1855, he left
Germany when seven and was received in
England and elsewhere with great applause as
player Yet his simplicity and purity of his
character were not spoiled by his dazzling ca
reer. In one of his letters,> speaking of dis
reputable compani ons, 81 have no heart 10

Again, in Paris I pray to God every day to
grant me grace that may do honor to the

less to catalogue the works of this great Mas
ter of song. The Requiem" was his last and
most famous composition. He felt it to be his
final work and throughout it AL, his humility,
penifence and love breathe with tenderness
and pathos inimitable. Even on his dying bed
he desired the score to be brought and sung
with three Others sustaining his part until he
reached the first bars of the Lachrynsosa when
Mozart burst into tears ana laid aside the
notes. A few hours afterwards he was re-
leased from pain and weakness. The last
movement of his lips was an endeavor to indi-
cate where the kettledrums should be used In
the Requiem. In the language of lady Wal
lace: His footprints not all the storms of life
can effacc, for amid his lofty aims his loftiest
was the elevation OF humanity" His was

Mr.. ED1ToR,-Some high authority, Henry
Ward Beecher, believe, has said that 'boys
are proverbially cruel" The question is, do
they ever cease 10 be so, or does this boyish
trait cling to man long after he has reached
years of maturity?
These questions suggest themselves almost
daily, as one observes how very slightly mer
are affected by wise and humane ideas, In
dealing with creatures wholly subservient to
their uses.

" beat numerically hgh-spirited, but heavi-
ly-built horses, in order to bring their speed
up to the light-limbed racer, then we have the
genuine thing right in our midst; we meet
with it daily, at every turn and corner-if it
is manly for gentleman to stand by with
his hands in his pockets watching brutal
tluckman whip his over-laden animal until he
falls, when a word from him might tighten
the blow, or helping hand ease the burden,
it must be confessed few of us have rightly
defined the word. If mer haven't the heart
or the courage to commence a reform in this
matter, it must fall to woman to take the in.

her duty, whenever occasion calls for action
And let me say, for the encouragement ol
those who would obey the behest of con-
science, that the hardest men are not wholly
dead to earnest and honest appeals to theil
better nature, else the cause of humanity
would be hopeless.
Ionce saw gentle lady walk up to burly
Iiishman, who was whipping his horse severe
ly because he could not draw heavy load OF
wood from rut, and offer him five dollars, II
he would not strike the animal again that
day. The man paused, rejected the money
and cried out to his companion, composedly
smoking on his dray: "Be jabers, Pat, give
me the loan of yez hoss an I'll git clear O.

An eighth part Of the time he had spent il
beating his horse; had it been rightly econ
omized would have relieved the animal, al
