one living here IN New York NOW whom you all
know and love. l think he has done more to
benefit this city than any man in il. He WAS u

Joyed Washington Irving's first essay, wsitten
for the Morning Chronicle. now a forgotten
Journal. went 10 see this wonderful old man a
lew days ago. He seemed to me more like a
curously wise boy than like an old man. His
stories are full Of life aud hope and the people
and things he has seen during his long life Of
ninety years are bright and joyous and winsome.
He seems to have forgotten the bad and the
wicked and the heartless. All he asks now is
that he may live q few years longer and see the
good work that he has begun completed. One of
the first essentials for an old age like this il a
strong and healthy constitution. and this In a
grest measure depends upon a mans early
home and training. For sixty years l have
never been i'll q day, and attribute all NV
health to the good foundation laid In my child
hoods home; oat-mesl and milk, bread and
potatoes, bit OF meat when We could get it, and
plenty of pure air and exercise did the business.

There are any number OF young lusn who come
