TOLERANCE AND COURTESY.
Philosopher Emerson as an Exponent Ol
fho Tvvo Groot Vfrfuas

philosopher Emerson rs an Exponent Ol
the Two Great Virtues.
Ralph Waldo Emerson was not only
poet and philosopher. but gentle
man of the finest type; one whose
mind was so infused with the charity
of loving kindness that the widest
fanatic found in him listener and
adviser. The number of souls, so ad.
vanced in abstract speculation that
they were untitled for the ordinary
duties of life, who sought him for aid
and sympathy. was discouragingly
large, and yet not one of them was
turned away with rebuff.
Edward Waldo Emerson, in his
life" of his father, records several
amusing experiences with would-be
reformers. which prove that many a
CLEAN OF humor must have frightened
the Concord House. One apostle of an
unpopular faith came to convince Mr..
Emerson that all use of money was
wicked. and few years later wrote
him letter announcing his engage
ment to lady in kindred views, and,
as she was not strong. and he did not
wish her to work, he asked Mr.. Emer-
son to ''send them competence for the
necessities of their married lite"
The simplicity of this request is
only eQualed by that of the person
who, desiring better education, wrote
Mr. Emerson for the requisite funds,
to be sent him 'by the last part of this
week. or fore part of next" But all
these reformers,
Dreamers of dreams, born out of their oue
time.
found themselves unwelcOmed at the
hearth of this truly hospitable man, if
they did not conform to the require
ments of decent society. The philoso-
pher was gentleness itself, and toler-
ance found in him its exemplar, but
neither wilful rudeness nor unclean-
ness would he permit.
One day a short, thick man, dirty
and wild-eyed, arrived and asked to
see Mr.. Emerson. He announced that
he had come from Russia, and stood
with his hat on when his host entered
the room. Mr.. Emerson saluted him.
asked him to be seated, and offered to
take his hat. The man declined, and
began to explain his mission. Again
did MIR. Emerson ask him to remove
his hat. but the man paid no attention
to the request, and insisted on explain
ing his advanced views.
Eyes, but let me take your hat, SIR"
said his host.
The Russian made some impatient
remark about attending to such trifes,
and began again, upon which Mr. EN-
erson said, firmly. but with perfect
sweetness:
VERY well, then. we will talk in the
yard" showed his guest out. and
walked to and fro with him under the
apple-trees. patiently listening. 1t was
not long. however, before the Russian
departed, doubtless shaking off the dust
of his feet against a man SO welded to
the slavish customs of society as Mr..
Emerson.
And from the journal of this sweet
and hospitable soul come the words:
I'm reference to the philanthropies
OF the day, it seems better to use than
to fOut them"
He was incapable of flouting any one
who was honest, even in mistaken be-
lief.-Youth's Companion.

Lawrence T. Neal.
Prominently Mentioned as DemOcrt.
ic Candidate for Governor.
Terrific

Hon. Lawrence Talbot Neal, OF
Chillicothe, ii prominent candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Ohio, was born at
Parkesburg, wood county, Virginia
(now West Virginia. in lS45. His
parents were Lawrence Perry,
and Mary Talbot Neal, who were
members of old and highly respect
ed families of that part of Nir-
ginia.
In 1880, Mr.. Neal was delegate
to the Democratic national COnven-
ton at Cincinnati. In 1882, he ac-
cepted the Democratic nomination
for congress in the Twentieth dis
trict, which had given Republican
majorities ranging from 1900 to
$1,000, and came within 10 of be-
ing elected over Alphonso Hart.
In 1883, he was again prevailed
upon to accept the Democratic
nomination for congress i'm the
same strong republican district,
and made 45 speeches during the
campaign, reducing the Republican
majority about one third what it
usually is, and running nearly 1000
ahead of the Democratic presiden-
tial and state tickets.
Mr.. Neal is a bachelor, never hav-
ing married.
Such, in brief, is the private and
public life of Hon. Lawrence Tai
bott Neal.
