with the police, station, from which he
had been released only on condition Of
his leaving town, and this was prevented
by his having no money. Not silver

he Ind collected form Boston advertisers,
ana he wanted to go home Ny sensi-
bilities were touched, and told my i'm
pecunious and unwholes,me visitor that
l would try to raise the money among
the printers, which did, and soon re-
turned with the amount.
II found the poor wretch half asleep
on heap of exchanges, and on inform
ing him of my success he held out his
shaking hand for the money, informing
me that the train for his home had left,
but he would take the change and leave
in the morning. l told him plainly that
this could not be. He was not safe
custodian of the funds, and in the morn
ing would see him on his way. He
drew himself up, with drunken gravity,
and said he could not agree to my tern s.
He left the room, but in moment re-
turned, and said: Like Shakespeare's
apothecary, "lny poverty and not my will
consents" But where shall l sleep to.

1.-THE Parker House was not built then,
and 50 l took him to house of enter
tainment for man and beast, and left
him in charge of the proprietor. But
the next morning he came in, worse in
condition than he was the previous day,
having by some means found the deepest
deep Of human degradation; and, with
out making any inquiry, l took him by
the arm and started with him for the
depot. A most incongruous pair, and it
seemed rs if every acq uaintance of mine
in Boston was out on walk, and his
track lay right across my path. Every
one started as we went jostling along,
and many were evidently disposed to
divide the same equally between us. I
put business face upon the matter, how
ever, and surged along with my repulsive
charge, until, as we neared the depot,
he stopped short and drew me into a
doorway.
"'Look here said he, trying to look
sober, let's argue this thing. "Now, am
I man, with all the God. given attributes
of man, or am side of ignominious

gifts aforesaid, give me the money and
let me 60 myself; if I am aide Of igno-
minious sole leather then mark me on
the back and let me 60 as freight
"'No, sir said I. its my intention
to send you home, where you SO much de-
sired to 60, and where your anxious
friends are no doubt looking for you"
"'But, see here,' he continued; Il
want to see a man up here who will be
very much disappointed if l don't call
on him.

arrangements, but go you shall, and

"He paused q moment, and then re-
peated: My poverty and my will con-
sents,' and We moved on to the depot,
where l bought his ticket aud put him

As the train moved out of the depot he
appeared at the door, and, taking his hat
in both hands, be made me q profound
