An Instance of the Good That Lives In

day, which would prove that all people
are not cold and selfish. A thin, pale

in a sympathetic tone.

BY this time the car had come along,
and the ladies assisted the woman to
it, and charged the conductor to let
her out at - hospital.
The writer boarded the same car.
The car was full, but half dozen seats
were instantly offered to the sick won.
an, and a Lady next to her who had
heardthe charge given to the conduc-
tor, said that she would see that the
woman reached the hospital safely.
