JOHN ALLEN

Boston, Mass , March 1.-THE veneer
able Methodist preacher widely known as

The old gentleman is as lively and vigor-

A SAD STORY.
An Old Man at The Poor Farm Dying
Broken Hearted.
Deserted BY His Wife and Deprived
of His Property.

One Of the saddest sights at the poor
farm is that of an old man, whose gray
hair, a face, bowed form and despair.
ing look cannot but excite sympathy.
The old man sits in q dreamy state or
rather as If stunned by some great grief,
and the history of his life c%orroborates
his appearance as that of a man who 10
slowly dying of a broken heart. He
gives his name as Nicholas Kern, and
when aroused to talk of himself he fire..
quently burts into tears, and then sub
sides again into a quiet, sad reflection,
until aroused by another query. The old
man Is quite deaf, and his hearing is
gradually growing worse. His eyesight.
too, has failed him until he can hardly
see anything, snd with frequent moans he
expresses the fear that the dark
ness which is gathering about
him will soon shut out every ray of light.
"Then what shall l do" sighed the old
man, "blind, deaf, without a friend. no
money, and my wife and daughter gone"
and the tears and sobs prevent further
~utterance..of words.
1t seems from the old mans story that
domestic trouble lies at the bottom of II
all. He says that another man won his
wife's affections, p~rsjudiced his daughter
against him, and that last June this man
with his wife and daughter left the city
together, and he believes they are living
together, but where he cannot learn. He
mourns greatly over this, and holds to
the doubtless vain delusion that if he
could but find out where his wife Is
80 that he could write her, he could
get her back again. He says he had
little property, but this was slipped Out
of his hands. and his wife got possession
of it. But great as Is his grief over the
faithlessness of his wife, he mourns still
more deeply over the fact that his little
daughter has gone too. The cd man,
heart seems wrapped up in the girl, apd
In his failing days he misses the presence
and cheer of the Hight young heart.
With his other infrmities, the ole
mans mind seems to be giving away and
he Ia becoming dazed and be wildered, and
1t Is evident that before many NOR,
moons pass he will lay down his burden
of sorrow. With his failing strength h,
fairly begs q chance to get over to Omaha
for he fanoles his wife and child ar,
there, perhaps, and If allowed 10 hay,
his wish, he would gladly grops his wa,
through the streets of that busy city, hi
trembling limbs carrying him ON a weary
! useless search for her who gained tn,
love OF his earlier years. But he 1
|, wisely kept and cared for here, and can
not well attempt the fraitless wander
ings.
J For a man thus prematurely old, an,
! broken, to spend his last days on q poo
farm is hard, but to make the life harie
he has been subjected to some inhumsl
treatment even in this place, which
+. considered apublic shelter and home fo
8 the poor. The old man says that Las
