BRAVE OLD STEPHEN GlRARD.
A Rich Man Who Loved Children and
Gave His Wealth to His Country.

A Rich Man Who Loved Children and
Gave His Wealth to His Country.
A famous and eccentric millionaire
was Stephen Girard but the world has
not yet Analysed his character In fact,
very few men in history have united SO
many apparently contradictory quail
ties. He loved children most passion
ately, and the sight of a crippled or
misunderstanding urchin would bring
tears to his eyes. His devotion to the
United States never once falterad, and
at every reverse during the war of 1872
Is he ground his teeth and, it is said,
swore in his native French At length
he offered to dedicate his entire fortune
to the cause lent the government five
million dollars, and asked no interest
till the war closed. A rich man who
loves children and is willing to give all
his wealth to his country must have a
deal of good in him.
His bravery was of the morally sub
lime order When the yellow fever
scourged Philadelphia, and the panic
had driven away most of the nurses, he
and Peter Helm worked two months in
the hospital at the most mental offices
and shamed the faint-hearted into
bravery An affiiction in early child
hood destroyed his right eye and dis
torted that side of his face, so the boys
nicl<named him by French word that
might be translated "wall eye" He
lost his mother when he was quite
young and his father was harsh. In
short, he was a miserable, lonely child,
and fled from home to be cabin boy at
the age of ten.
The romance of his life came TO him
in Philadelphia, where he opened his
first store. He was loved and beloved
again She was singularly beautiful
and vivacious; he taciturn, badly dis
figured and eleven years her senior. For
few years they were very happy; then
she suddenly lost her health, soon be-
came violently insane, and lived in that
condition thirty years in the state asy-
lum. Their only child died in infancy,
and the sad old man finished his jour
ney alone. His magnificent charities
have preserved his name for all time.

his ships after infidel authors Chicago

know how they became acquainted, but
1 have always doubted if they were for
maliy introduced to one another. Be IL
as it may, there came a time when the
manly young mechanic walked alone
once more. There were many other girls
gong and coming, but he did not seem
to notice them. His eyes were usually
wandering toward the girl with the
pink cheeks and pink dress and rib
bons, whom he often saw strolling
homeward with the young man who
wore the diamonds and fine clothes.
BY and by there was a wedding up the
street somewhere; at the home of

one whom 1 thought was father, or
brother, or sister; but had on several

One morning fine carriage drove by,
and blossom" wearing a stril<ingly
large hat covered with white plumes,
occupied seat beside the young man
whom had seen sitting in the shade of
the maple tree ut the side of the sa-
loon. Later an express wagon passed
in which were trunks thought might
have belonged to Blossom"
In the same old humdrum worlx-a-

blossoms pink cheeks and bright
eyes were not to be seen. The street
for a time seemed cheerless without
her; and l wondered if the world
missed her as did, and as | felt sure
the pale woman did whom had seen

maple tree, through which the sum.
mer sunshine and harvest moonbcams
had spintered and sifted, lost their
bright green hue. BY and by the
blighting kiss of the frost fell upon
them and in a cream and scarlet
blush of mingled death and glory they
fell to the earth and were swept into
the gutter by the first breath of win
ter. The snow-shrouded season
stalked slowly past. The bare limbs
of the maple seemed like uplifted
hands pleading for the coming of the
sun and the south wind.
One morning robin perched in the
branches of the maple, sounded the
first note of the coming spring and, be-
fore l scarcely realized it, nature had
thrown blanket of glossiest green
over the lawns and fastened it down
with thousand golden dandelions.
And the summer with her voluptuous
attendants came again, and Joy ran
riot through the hearts of men. But

more; neither did the young mechanic
pass that way as he once did. Under
my window I heard some one say he
had studied out an invention for simpli-
flying some process of manufacturing
and that he had become rich. In the
afternoon men sat in the shade Of the
maple tree, but the young man with
the diamonds was not among them.
