There is, too, an added favor, unlike any,

My duties take me nearly every day across

talking to the children. He was ALWAYS
there unless the weather was too bad for his
small friends to be out and then the placs
lost its attraction for him. In fair weather
he was always to be found on the same
bench, stalwart, handsome figure. clothed
from head to foot in crisp white linen and
name OF curling white hair pushed back
from face that from long exposure had
grown as swarthy as an Indians. He is
a very handsome man, with features bold
and well cut the skin, though so dark.

large, calm gray eyes. His physical health

There was always crowd about Train, a
group OF children who listened with grave
and respectful attention to his sayings, and

by like myself who fingered out of curiosity.

presented by some juvenile admirer. Train.
as far as [ could gather from his conversa-
lions with the children, was not insane, fur
Their than he wanted to put manlSind's theo-
rieS into practice.
He did good in his way, sowed some excel
lent seeds in little minds that regarded his
sayings with reverence. He had way of
lectuI1ng the young ones in his jerky fashion
upon the necessity for clean hands as well as
pure hearts, and used to settle their small dis
putes and administer lectures on loving kind
ness and fraternity, of which, though the
manner flew far above their undeveloped
yet the matter seemed to
sink into their hearts and may yet bring
forth good fruit. There is general lamenta-
ton at his announcement that he will return
no more, and even the elders miss the quaint
handsome old crank, and the square seems
lonely without him.-New York Cor. Brook

Full Purses and Kind Hearts.

1t is not in human nature to be just and
humane when robbed of its due experience Of
LIES fundamental conditions. Whatever
narrows n mans experience narrows bis SYM
pathies, and whatever confers on him ire
sponsible power tempts him to abuse it.
Now, riches do both these things. Whatever
exceptional experience they may provide,
they certainly withdraw their owners from
much that must always enter into the life of
the large majority of human kind. These
must always anxiously labor and be content
with moderate means Between life condi-
toned in this way and life free from labor
and anxiety there is fixed a gulf which SYM
patty could hardly cross, even if it would,
for it is chained on the one side by pride and
ON the other by envy.
Sometimes, indeed, if man has risen to
riches by his own efforts, he may so far re-
member his life of poverty as to retain a GER
tain sympathy for those whom he has left
behind him in it; but this is rare, for three
reasons: First Men caring enough for riches
to be willing to devote much time TO the &C
QUESTION Of them are usually of 9 somewhat
low, material and unsympathetic nature.
Second In their ascent to riches, after the
first few steps, they have to use other men as
stepping stones, for no man, unless he have a
monopoly talent, like Raphael, can rise to
riches otherwise. Nearly all great fortunes
ere made up of profits caught in labor traps.
Such using of other men solely as means
leads to forgetfulness that they are ends,
hardens the heart and destroys sympathy.
Third. Men who have made their own for
tuHes-self made men, as they are wisely
called-have usually a great deal of respect
for their maker, and a proportionate con-
tempt for those who, having less cunning
than themselves, have remained in the ranks
of poverty. Thus it frequently happens that
self made men are among the least humane
of aristocrats. And the case is even worse
with their children and with all persons born
to wealth. These lack altogether the expert
ence that would enable them to sympathize
with the ordinary, natural human life of
labor and narrow means. Raised above it,
they cannot comprehend it.-Professor
Thomas Davidson in The Forum.
