Henry Willard.

"Speaking of society," my club friend continued. there's one name which I used to hear on almost every tongue that of Henry Willard. If there's q name that l scarcely hear at all now among my society friends. it is that one; but the time was when it was d name to conjure with. Yet Mir. Willard is in town, and has been here for months. He is living in apartments in one of the Nevarro buildings, and his son. Harold Willard. recently returned from a wedding trip abroad, ha1 apart ments at the Blenheim.
 Such quarters would be far more desirable, 1 should say, than the enor- nous structure that Willard built on Madison avenue, across from St. Pat rick's cathedral. some 14 or 15 years ago, in the style of architecture affect ed when they were building the great palaces of Italy. It's an odd thing. that Whitelaw Reid. editor of the Tribune, bought that house. and that afterwards Mir. Willard bought a controlling in- terest in the Evening Post. Not since the death of Mr. Bryant have these two papers, which once stood side by side on almost every topic, agreed anywhere near as closely as this year, when they are both supporting Low for mayor It's hardly probable that they will very soon get so close to each other again unless. indeed, young Harold Willard should succeed in bringing about de cided change in the policy of the Post toward the republican party, which is little more than a possibility"
 The Willard house passed into MT. Reid's hands in 1886. for $400,o00. Though still unfinished, it is wonder fully handsome and majestic looking

WORK AND WORRY.

1t is a well-understood fact that it
is not work that kills, but worry; and
from this text some most sensible and
profitable hygienic discourses have
been preached during recent years.
The conclusion of the whole matter
it this.
Brain work is conducive to health
and longevity, while brain worry
causes disease and shortens life. The
truth of this statement and Its appli-
cation to what we see around us are
evident enough; yet it is we'll that
such subjects should be continually
discussed.
A life of intellectual labor, although
severe, like that performed by thu
judges of our highest courts, or by
scholars and persons devoted to liter
rary pursuits, if unmixed with excite
ment and followed with regularity, is
not only happy life, but, but is seen
also to promote bodily health and
long life.
On the other tand mental cares,
attended with suppressed emotions
and occupations which from their
nature are subject to great vicissitudes
of fortune and constant anxiety, break
down the lives of the strongest.

IN OLD HYMN.

A pathetic and yet charming story
is told of the origin of the well-known
hymn, BLESSED be the tie that binds
which was written by Rev. John
Fawcett, an English Baptist who
died in 1917, having spent nearly
sixty years in the ministry.
1t was in TYP, after few years
spent in pastoral work, that he was
called to London to succeed the Rev.
DR.. Gill. His farewell sermon had
been preached near Moinsgate in
Yorkshire; six or seven wagons stood
loaded with his furniture and books,
and all was ready for departure.
But his loving people were heart
broken; men, women and children
gathered and chung about him and his
family with sad and fearful faces.
Finally, overwhelmed with the sorrow
of those they we're leaving, DIR. Fawcett
and his wife sat down on one of the
packing cases and gave way to grief.
"Oh, John!' cried Mrs. Fawcett,
at last, 81 cannot bear this! l know
not how to gc!'
"Nor 7, either" returned her hus-
banG, "and we will not go. The wagons
shall be unloaded, ard everything put
in its place"
His people were filled with intense
joy and gratitude at this determine
ton. DR.. Fawcett at once sent a letter
to London explaining the case, and
then resolutely returned to his work
on a salary of less than two hundred
dollars rer year.
This hymn was written to COM
memorate the event. When MIR.
Coffing, a missionary at Aintlb, in
Armenia, set out IN 1860 to explore
the Taurus Mountains, he was to
penetrate an entirely new and dan
gerous field. This fact was fully re-
allied by the inhabitants of Aintab,
and they gathered to the number of
fifteen hundred at the road sides, and
bad farewell to the missionary and his
family in the Armenian words of this
hymn written nearly century before
by the devoted Yorkshire preacher.

CREVSONE GAMBLING.

When Tommy Atkins was in the
Soudan, he amused himself during
the hot season with an original game
of chance called ''taking the tempera-
ture."
As nearly everybody had slight
touch of fever mouth thermometer
would be borrowed from a surgeon
and the temperature of each one
taken.
Each man would put up a small
stake, and the one having the highest
temperature would take the pool.
The winner would sometimes need
a temperature as high as 102 F.,
which speaks for itself. 1t is a good
illustration of the recklessness posse
essed by the average British soldier
and the philosophical way in which
he takes his troubles.
