INFLUENTIAL, BUT UNKNOWN.

Many people who had never heard or
the existence OF Daniel S. Ford, for
forty years proprietor. publisher and
editor OF Youths Companion" must
have been surprised to learn on Mon
day and Tuesday Of last week that one
OF the most influential and important
citizens OF Boston had died, and that
his Importance was at once acknowl-
edged by the press and his death pre-
sented as one OF the foremost local
events OF the day. says the Boston
Transcript.
He did not particularly aim TO make
the matter In his paper clever, but he
did aim TO make II pleasing TO an i'm
mense number OF people. He seemed to
his editors to be able TO see In his
minds eye, and with perfect accuracy.
all the people who were going to read
the paper, and 10 know just how they
were going TO take everything. He
pleased them so we'll that his paper
came 10 be read by more people than
any other published in the United
States; but he never for a moment lost
sight OF the fact that it's function was
TO do something more than please.
Mr.. Ford's plan was TO print svery
week, to meet the demand OF boys for
that sort of thing. a story of adventure
or deliverance which was emotional.
and which might even go on the verge
OF the sensational. With this story he
gave the boys an excellent assortment
of matter OF the improving kind. And
the adventure story ftself, though it
might be as attractive to the boys as
anything they could get in the flashy
papers. was never permitted to go into
certain fields nor 10 deal with violence
or crime In an alluring way.
Though he barred out relentlessly ev-
erything that was mischievous, he
would permit nothing like preaching in
the paper. He always had just one. and
only one religious article in every num-
ber. and this article has always been
the hardest one i'm the paper to write.
1t is standing joke on the paper that
one OF his editors who is a skeptic in
religious matters once essayed TO write
the religious article" This gentleman
thought his own freedom from bias
would permit him 10 indite a nice little
homiletic article with whose terms
and principles he would himself be in
perfect agreement. ana winch would
just suit the ordinary reader. He sent
his article TO Mr. Ford, who instantly
rejected II, writing across the top OF
the first page these words: Too
preachy." This editor never again at
tempted TO write religious article The
least leaning toward a religious tone
in any other than this one article
would be promptly cut out by Mr.. Ford.
He welcomed and sought for amusing
articles, AMI his sense Of humor, though
some members of his staff VINO had a
different sense OF humor sometimes
were inclined to regard 1t as peculiar.
was undoubtedly keen. And in this, as
in everything else, he had his great au-
dience in mind.

The Wish.

This only grant me, that my means may lay
TOO low for envy, for contempt too high.
snme honor | would have
Not from great deeds but good alone,
The unknown are better thanill known;
Rumor can ope the grave
Acquaintance would have, but when't de-
Not on the number, but the choice Of friends
Books should, not business entertain the ligh',
And sleep as undisturbed as DEATH the night.
My house a cottage, more
Than palace ana should fitting be-
For ali my use not luxury.
My garden painted DER
With natures hand, not arts; and pleasures
Yield,
Horace m, ght envy i'll his Sabine field.
Thus would double my lifes fading space,
Ful lie that runs it we twice runs his race,
Al d i'll this true delight,
These lnbought spots th happy state,
/ Nou d not fear nor wish my fate,
But boldly say each night,
| Tomorrow let m sun his beams display
orin clouds hide them; have liv'd today.
