HUMAN NATURE NOT so BAD
New York Newspaper Man Observes
With Pleasure the Aid Given
the Blind.

If you doubt that human nature is
kind, watch the ordinary passerby in
his attitude toward a blind man. The
office window man was riding in a
Broadway open car the other day. The
car was just barely moving. owing to
some blockade or other, and kept
about even pace with the pedestrians
who crowded the pavements in their
usual daily hustle.
The eye of the Office Window casu.
ally lit upon a blsnd man, walking
alone. with that upright tilt of the
head so common to the sightless. lie
tapped his stick incessantly before
him and moved briskly until he neared
the end of each block. with It's hazard.
Gus curb. The car kept pace with
him for seven blocks, and upon every
block some one took charge OF that
blind man as he came TO the curb, saw
him safely over and said pleasant
word in parting.
One young man stayed near him for
three blocks, steering him over the
crossings each time. Probably the
man with the tapping stick thought
the friendly guide was different man
for every block Or does his ear be-
come so delicately attuned to voices
that he fairly sees through hearing?
The Office Window man wondered II
the smiles that so often light the
faces of the blind come from the hab-
IL of thanking people who lend them
friendly aid 50 many times a day?--

Promoters of Spirituality.

The old adage In regard to the way
to mans heart is regarded by some
persons as a libel on masculine hui

ston evidently did not regard 1t in
that light.
He went much farther than the
adage, and was willing to express his
opinion at any time when it seemed
best. When the members of the
Central church were discussing the
best way to interest the young people
of the town and bring them into
touch with church affairs, Deacon
Sampson spoke his word.
