DIR. BARNARDO.

The story of Dr. Bernardo and Jim Jarvis is a
familiar one. There entered chill and bitter
night, into the school ROOM for shelter and
warmth, little boy, just at the hour when the
medical student, tired after day of hard profess
sional study and an evening given up to teaching
his ragged school, was about to close the place
This little fellow shoeless, hatless, shiftless
and with only few rags to cover him from the
keen wind and pitiless night. He had no desire
to be taught, only to find shelter. He crept in
much a battered little bird might enter where
the lights are, from the darkness and tempest with

When the rest left he fingered, and a medical
student about to lock up, told him he must now
go home. But he prayed to be allowed to stay
for the night by the fire. and he promised to do no
harm. lad had told him that, very likely, if
he came up there the "Guvnor' would let him
stay by the fire all night
To this the young medico objected. ooh, no.

and go home to your mother! Don't tell me-

Then go home to your father" Bernardo con-

Got no father said the little fellow.
Got no father? But where are your friends?
Where do you liver"
Don't live nowhere; got no friends" said the
lonely lad.
There was a tone of sincerity in the boys words
that made Bernardo pause, and he hesitated to
conclude that he lying SO he continued to
talk with him. and further question him. and the

Like sunflowers, to the pure and best,

For they the mind of Christ discern

where the minister's salary is in default, and min

EsTING MANNER.

BERLIN, Jan. ia book entitle
tie American Peril" by an anonymous
anthor, which made its appearance to.
day, describes this American peril"
not as a commercial menace but al
Intellectual and moral danger.
The author declares that European
authority has nothing to fear from
American competition, but points out
that Europeans are manifesting a la
nontable tendency to adopt American
ideals.
The American conception Of life, ac-
cording to the writer, is brutal, egotis-
tic, immoral and irreligious. Euro
peGns, by accepting American theories
Of life, become soulless. Europeans
must exclude the pernicious American
hustle" from the realms Of mental
and moral thought and must pin their
faith to rho grand classic ideals Of an.
clent, heather Greece, whose lofty mo
rality was vastly superior to that Of
uominally Christian America.
