Who's MurphyP

Some enthusiastic Murphyite writes to
the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer,
asking for brief sketch of the life of Mr..
Francis Murphy. The editor replies in the
following vein:
He is the son of Mrs Murphy, and in
early lite was small Murphy and few in

and this was the making of him, for if he

Is there any JOY greater than that which
is experienced by one person when he
helps another person? There are some
men SO low down that it Is SAID they can.
not bear 70 haYe the smell of their clover
go into the highway for fear that the folks
will get something that belongs to them
without paying for it; there are some men
who are said to begrudge bees the honey
which they take from their flowers without
leaving anything behind; but that is doubt
less imaginary. A man whose heart does
not respond to an act of doing good or Civ.
ing happiness is no longer man. He has
passed the line of manhood, aud should be
ranked among beasts.
