Giving and Receiving.

The New York Journal Of Commerce
saws that sit takes more grace and more
earnest struggle against the natural selnsn-
ness of human nature to receive Will
thankfulpess than it does to give wi,houe
reluctance. :. The outward Manifestation ls
not key to the inner sentlmepS' oae
man will receive g favor and utter Ills
thanks with conventional propriety, but
without any gratitude in his heart. An
other obtains similar gift, but makes no
voluble response. His eyes kindle with a
peculiar lustre, his whole face is raoiant
with emotion, and bis heart is singing, OUT
he has no well.chosen words st command
and he cannot cloth his sense Of the kind
uess in fitting speech. 1t is not easy to DC
thankful for an unearned gift. Behind the
"Thank you" that acknowledges a oene'
faction there ia often in the hearts OF the
poor feeling Of resentment. They DO po'
like to be in need, aud their pride reVoits
at the Thought that to save themselves
from suffering they must be tho recipients
of another's bounty.
This is why it is more blessed to give
than to receive. The hand that bestoWs
has an open palm, and empties itself in the
act of giving; the hand that receives II
clasping the. gift inclosss with it the sense
of obligation. To be truly thankful for a
gift to which the recipient has no other
title than the favor of the giver, Requires
more self-denial than to be liberal in dis
penaipg charity. This is not the conclu'
sion of superficial judgment. At first
thought the struggle would seem to be al
on the other side. The possessor of the
good that is required for another's need if
often seen to cling TO it with a misery
grasp, and to yield it reluctantly as some
thing he would fam retain. II re does
this he loses the joy that rewards the gen
erous soul. There is the gripping pain that
precedes the gift. and the sense of loss at
ter he has let it go. It is torn out of his
clutches by some appeal be cannot resist,
and be nlourns for it afterward as for g
wasted treasure. There is no real giving
in such an act; it is OILY surrender OF
something demanded and taken away which
leaves behind it sepse of bereavement.
The cheerful giver who opens bis heart
with his hand and finds moro satisfaction
in the outlay than he could possibly have
in the keeping has no mixture in his cup
20 Lio,,;or t. "a pcL nth hin, q etrl7 Cr1a
against se!fshness, but constant question
how often and to what extent ne may in
dulge himself i'll thesluxury ofsuch bestow-
ment. There is no other earthly bliss com.
parable to that which springs from un-
selfish benefcence."

Death of Senator Plumb, Of Kansas.

Senator Plumb, of Kansas, one Of the
most inf uential Republican Senators, died
in Washington at 1850 o'clock Sunday
morning. His death was caused By the
rupture of blood. vessel at the base of his
brain, the result Of cver-work. He went
to Philadelphia, and, on Friday, consulted
DR.. Pepper as to his condition, who 40
yised hir1 to cease work. Plumb did not
consider his condition as serious as Dr.
Pepper He returned to Washington Sat
urday night at 7 O'Clock complaining OF
most violent headache, but went to din
ner at Chamberlain's given by ex Senator
Malone to few friends. 1t must have
been O'Clock or later in the morning, when
he returned to bis quarters, at 612 Four
teenth street, for his landlord, Mr.. Linson
| D. Jennings, said to-day that he did not
| retire until nearly O'Clock ard the Sena-
tor had not yet returned. Shortly before
2 O'Clock Mr.. Jennings was awakened by
knock at his bedroom door. Senator Plumb
told MIR. Jennings be was very SICK ana
| requested him to come downstairs Ard SAT
up with him. Mr. Jennings saw that the
Senator's condition was serious, and at 2
O'Clock DR.. Wales was summoned. Inc
Doctor aileviated the pain and administer
cd proper remedies. He stayed with Mr..
Plumb from until half past O'Clock and
then left his patient sleeping quietly.
His last words uttered that morning
wers-"Oh my God, my head, my head!'
| Senator Blackburn in speaking OF him
''said he had been closely associated with
| Senator Plumb for long period. and he
never knew man to grow into prominence
SO rapidly as did be after his frst term in
the Senate. He was one of the most forci-
BILE men he had ever known, and he was
one of the few republicans who had the
courage of his convictions to go beyond
party lines when he felt it his duty to do
80. He was one OF the eight republicans
who helped to kill the force bill In the Sen
ate."
! His SUCCESSOR will be appointed by the
Governor of Kansas, who will probably ap-
point ex-senator Ingalls, to serve till the
Legislature will meet a year from now.
