Tt is doubtful if the career of Henry
Mills Alden. editor of Harpers Maya
zlne, has been exceeded in point Of time
or interest by any other literary man
in America. Mr.. Alden, who has occu-
pied the editorial chair Of Harper's for
thirty-five years, was born at Mt.
Tabor. near Dandy. VT. in 1886. He is
an l.. II. d. of Williams College. and
also n graduate Of Andover Theological
Seminary. In 1863 he became manage
ing editor of Harp2r's Weekly. a post
which he filled so creditably that h1
was made editor Of Harper's Magazine
in 1869, succeeding DIR. Alfred r.
Guernsey. Much of the success Of that
magazine may be attributed to his
guidance He is also tn" author of two
notable works of philosophy. God in

Development OF Character.

We are left in this world. not so much
for what we may do here, for the things
we may make, as that we ourselves may
grow into the beauty of Gods thought for
us. In the midst OF all Our occupations
and struggles, all our doing of tasks, all
our longings and desires. all our expe-
riences of every kind. there is work
going on in us which is quite as important
as anything We are doing with our mind
or with our hands.
In the school the boy has his tasks and
lessons. According as ne is diligent or in
dolent is his progress in his studies. In
ten years, II he is faithful. he masters many
things and stands high in his class. Or, if
he is indifferent and careless, he gets only
a smattering OF knowledge, with so many
links missing that his education is of little
practical use to him. But meanwhile there
has been going on in him another educa-
ton-a growth or development of charac-
