The death of an obscure man, un-
known outside of the quiet inland town
in which he lived, makes it fit for us to
tell the story Of a life of heroic selfsacri-
fee.
The wife Of Virginia planter died in
1880, leaving one child, boy Of nine,
whom we shall here call Mark. He
showed a remarkable talent for mechan-
les and mathematics. and it was his
fathers wish and the boys passionate
hope that he should be educated as a
civil engineer, and 60 out from the dull
farm-life to find his proper work in the
world.
The father married again. Three sons
were born before the mother, in sudden
fit of mama, took her own life. 1t was
then discovered that her family inherit
ed suicidal insanity, which usually de-
veloped itself soon after maturity.
The father died just when Mark-a
strong, healthy, happy young fellow
was about to enter eagerly on the prac-
tice of his profession. An attractive
career and fine prospect of success
waited for him. But the Oldest son of
the second marriage was just approach
ing manhood. He was of sensitive
organization, needing constant care.
Mark, taking counsel only with him
self, declined an appointment as civil en-.
gineer that had been offered HIM, and
remained on the plantation.
The work of farmer was uncongenial
to him, but he made a home for his
brother, and by his constant, watchful
care held the incipient insanity at bay.
The brother died of consumption after
he had attained manhood.
All of Marks friends now believed
that he would 60 out to live his own life,
and do the work for which he was SO
well fitted. But the younger boys had
reached the critical age. Again he re-
manned at home, not successful farmer,
perhaps, but filling the part Of both faith
er and mother to his brothers.
He did not avert their terrible fate.
One became a feeble, morbid monoman-
lac. The other, clever, scholarly man;
had occasional violent attacks of frenzy.
It would Rave been possible at any time
for Mark to place them in an asylum, or
put them in the care of a paid keeper.
He chose rather to give up his cwn life
wholly to them, guarding them strictly,
but developing in them while sane all
the capacities for usefulness and happi-
ness which God had given them.
He never married. He was not will
ing to bring a wife and children into
such home.
He outlived his brothers but year or
two. He had built no bridges nor rail-
ways, and hence his friends thought his
real work was never done. But he died |
honored and beloved, noble man,
whose gentle, benignant influence was
felt throughout the whole community.
We name those Christians saints who
were burned and torn to pieces by wild
beasts in Rome. They gave their bodies
for their faith. But there are in many |
household obscure men and women who |
silently sacrifice their hopes, their ambi-
tons, their talents, to duty; to the daily, |
patient care of an invalid, or of help |
less family of children, or of some selfish
profligate.
Is it not true that the noble army of
martyrs praise God now, as ir the early

Having learned something of American
politics while travelling around the proyin-

devoted himself to the work of writing a

OF great anxiety to manlnas who are obliged
to preserve appearances on y limited allow

succeed in extIicating from the pockets Of
their husbands; and afew hints as to methods
in such cases may not be out Of place. The
great difficulty to be met is this: The

MARIO AND HIS WIFE.

London World: There is one good which
should not be buried with the bones Of
Mario, and that is the fact of the fervently
afecUiOnate union in which he lived with his
wife when both had passed into the very fat
middle age which singers cannot escape. In
the shortest absence letters between them
never failed for single day, and Grisi used
to speak of Mario, who had grown into
kind of superannuated and unwiel(y pretti-
ness, with all the tenderness of their most
glorious tenor and soprano days She was
noble looking creature even in those days;
the strong black hair, which was simply
knotted round her large head, had
hardly begun to show CLEANS Of
white; and under the great arched
eyebrows her gray eyes looked out with the
chances OF an eagle. She sang in private
long after her voice was strained and spoiled
do not think that Mario's organ really lasted
any longer than hers, though the indulgent
London public applauded him through his
farewell performances with unfailing faith
They were both charming in English society,
where, however, their Southern natures We're
never chilled or subdued. While Mario had
something OF the repose which stamps, etc,
Grisi had the passions Of her kind--in politics
as Well as OH the subject Of younger sopranos
and she cordially expressed them. I saw
her last in her beautiful Florentine home
which was full of the relics of two brilliant
careers. After her death it was broken up,
and little later Mario began his financial
troubles His three daughters were brought
up in English fashion.
