Of Il the greater and farther reaching It's
work of mercy. Medicines, Instruments,
attendance Of nurses, food and the thou
sand and one things that go to make up the
expense of a great hospital, all cost money,
and this money must be largely supplied
by charity. It's benefits are not confined
to the inhabitants of New York, they are
open to every human being in the sixty
five millions of our population-Christian

If this etter should meet The eve Of any
whose life journey is nearly finished, and
who feel that the time is not far of when |
their silver and their gold can avail them
no longer here, let them, by the gracious
bestowal of that which they cannot carry |
away, earn blessing which may stand
them in stead, when gold and silver shall
weigh no longer in the balance. In faculty
which embraces the flower of the medical
profession In New York, it is almost in
vldious to mention special names, and
will not do It, To the physician who de-
sires to keep abreast of the times, no such
opportunity can be found in the world for
study. Among the students are men who
have large practice, many of whom have
come from distant States at great pecuniary
sacrifice to enjoy the advantages of the
clinics, where they are brought face to face
with every form of disease, and compelled
to take active part in the treatment. Gray
boards are plentifully scattered among the
| l.. Iro
of their profession they find their rich COM
pensation more than equivalent to the sac
rifice. "Whoso giveth unto the poor lend
kelh unto the Lord" "Cast thy bread upon
the waters and it shall return after many

On Thursday / went to the dog show.
Bow, WOW, wowl Yes, sir, the dog show
why not? haye not been in honester
company for month. don't mean the
people, but she dogs. l love dogs of high
pegree; they are honest, straightforward; &;
there is no sham or deceit about them;
yonder Bull savage that jumps to the end
of his chain, would bite my leg if he could,
but it would be an honest bite, for 1t is his
business to bite legs if he gets chance. If
you see dog that looks in your face be-
nignly and the first chance he gets makes
= grab for your leg, you jnst bet your bot
tom dollar that dog is a cur, and that his
= father ard mother were vagabonds who
ought 10 have done time in the Dog-Peni
I tentiary. Don't give dog of this kind
! house-room, The show was a royal one.
The crowd was miscellaneous; Murray Hill
touched elbows with the Bowery and Chat
ham street, and the elite Four Hundred
and the very flower of our ministry were
mixed up with horse jockeys, gamblers,
J thieves and soiled doves. 1t was free and
! easy crowl; no one seemed TO be afraid to
4 rub against anybody else; there was no in
r quiry for pedigree except among the dogs,
l and | doubt if one in a hundred of the
( visitors could have furnished as honest a
record. The world had been secured for
dogs, and here they were, big dogs and
little dogs; fat dogs and lean dogs; dogs
+ with hides like Jason's golden fleece, and
e dogs with no more hair on their backs than
e there is On the outside of wash tub. The
i ladies, bless 'em-crowded about the Skye
! terriers, the Tan Terriers, the Poodles and
King Charles Spanes, while the men found
: delight in Engliah Pointers and Irish Set
j tiers. Scotch Collies, Bulldogs and New
d foundlands, Mount ST. Bernard's, rugged
Danes and gigantic Russian Mastiffs, which
7 were easily crowned kings of that canine
e guild. Ivan Romanoff, magnificent Rus
sian dog, left all competitors behind and
s bore off the honors of the exhibition. In
f the grand crush on Friday, Fifth Avenue
> dude was pushed up against a cage of fight
t ing pugs and was viciously seized from be-
o hind, and after desperate struggle was
5 finally released in a somewhat damaged
S condition. As he emerged into a clear
f space the extent of his misfortune became
g visible, but an old lady who was somewhat
e near-sighted cried ont: "Young man you
= are losing your handkerchief The crowd
r roared, and the dude escaped to a cab.
