Pandora? Well. then, for the bene'

who a an intimate friend OF the
mythological gods. They liked her ap-
pearance so well that they one day
gave her a box, casket, chest, or what
ever 1t was, to guard. By some mar
velous method, known only of gods,
they had got together all the trials
and tribulations Of mankind (and some
of the joys) and locked them up IN

as you may surmise. You recall Eve

take it from George and me that there
is always something left in the casket.

honest a sire; and If either of them
had endued him with false weights he
did his best to even up the balance.
The mother had been as romantic
as any heroine out OF Mrs. RadcllHs
novels, while the father had owned
to as much romance as one generally
finds in a thorough business man,
which is practically none at all. Inc
very name itself is a bulwark against
the intrusions of romance. one a

roads, of stolid routine In the ONCE
and of placid concern over the daily
news under the evening lamp.
Mrs. Jones. lovely, lettered yet not
worldly. had dreamed OF her boy,
bayed and decorated, marrying the
most distinguished woman in all Eu-
rope, whoever she might be. Mr..
Jones had had no dreams at all, and
had put the boy to work in the ship
ping department a little while after
the college threshold had been crossed,
outward bound. The mother, While
sweet and gentle, had a will, Iron I'M

Percival Algernon and a decent knoWl-
edge of modern languages, the old
man agreed If, on the other hand,
the boys first name should be George
and that he should learn the business
from he cellar up. There were sew
eral tits over the matter, but at
length a truce was declared. 1t was
agreed that the boy himself ought to
have a word to say upon a subject
which concerned him more vitality
than any one else. So, at the age OF
fifteen, when he was starting on for
preparatory school, he was advised
to choose for himself. He was an ODE
dent son, adoring his mother and idol
izing his father. He wrote himself
down as George Percival Algernon
Jones, promised to become a linguist
and to learn the rug business from
the cellar up. On the face Of 1t, 1t
looked like a big job; it all depended
upon the boy.

edness, misery and death itself. 1t is
a common observation that objects in
the reality which would shock. are,
in tragical and such like representa-
tons, the source of a very high spe-
cies of pleasure. This, taken as a
fact, has been the cause of much rea-
soning. This satisfaction has beer
commonly attributed, first, to the COM
fort we receive in considering that
so melancholy a story is no more than
a fiction; and next, the contempla-
ton Of our own freedom from evils
we see represented. I am afraid it is
a practice much too common, in in
quiries Of this nature, to attribute
the cause of feelings which merely
arise from the mechanical structures
OF our bodies, or from the natural
from or constitution of our minds, to
certain conclusions of the reasoning
faculty on the objects presented to
us; for ! have some reason to appre-
bend that the influence Of reason in
producing our passions is nothing
near so extensive as is commonly be-

She and her companion passed on

at a pinch tell a joke as well as the

It II by the passion OF sympathy
that we enter into the concerns OF
others; that we are moved as they
are moved, and are never uffer TO
be Indifferent spectators OF almost
anything which men can do or suffer.
For sympathy must be considered as
a sort of substitution, by which we
are put into the place OF another man,
and affected in aAgood measure as he
is affected; 80 that this passion
may either partake Of the nature OF
those which regard self-preservation,
