GLADsroNE.-A London paper relates
the following: The rector Of London
parish one day called on a sick boy. The
boy was one of the neglected outcasts OF
the great city. Accustomed 10 earn his
living by sweeping ono Of the muddy
cross walks, his face had become famil
lar to many # the passers.by. The cler-
gyman asked him if any one had called
on him during his sickness. 20 yes"
replied the boy, mir. Gladstone came t.
see me-" "Mr. Giadstone!" exclaimed
the rector, "what Mr.. Gla1stone1 >
"Why," said the boy, >',he only Mr.. Glad
stone" So the great English Premier
could find time amid all the onerous du-
ties of public life, TO seek the abode and
minister to the wants Of "dirty street
sweep" All the attractions Of aristoc-
racy and grandeur Of royalty did not
dispel from his heart the sense Of duty
to the little Outcssts. Nothing in the
long, esentful life Of the great man
seems To Us So noble and Christlike as
this simple incident.
