"I may not be quite so wise as So]o nion," remarked a ?man in my bearing the other day, "but anybody who ei-, .peets to get the best of me will get badly; left!" I looked at tho speaker, at his Shrewd eyes, with their all-ways-at ohoe manner of looking at things; his month, pursed and puckered like a dried Up pepper pod; his smile, as sharp and wintry as a frost sparkle; and I said in my heart, "Well, sir, I would rather be the biggest greenhorn that ever trod the sod than be youP PEOPLE WE DO KOT'HEED. I When a man gets so wise that he has nothing left to learn, the best place for him is a bookshelf. When ho gets so cunning that you can never catch him napping, the best place for him is among the stuffed owls in the National museum. The world has no need of fossils outside of caves and archaeological collections. What a dried up channel is to a land? scape, such, to the world he lives in, is a worldly wise nature which has become invulnerable to a sensation and incapable of a mistake or an enthusiasm." He has 'outgrown, his chief charm who has out? grown his freshness. He has become a mere petrifaction, who has attained unto a state wherein he is unassailable by the blunders to which other men succumb. We do not need such people any more than a full mooned August night needs signal lights. Better fall down once in a while than get to be so ossified you can't bend out of the perperdicular. Per? fection is all right in butter and eggs,' but a man, to be a good comrade, wants enough of, the imperfection of human nature left in him to render him capable of an occasional blunder. I would rather live with the statue of Liberty on Bed loes Island than attempt to dwell with a a person who has outlived the possibility of ever being "taken in," or has soared above the weakness of once in awhile taking a leap without knowing exactly where he is going to- land. Why, bless your, heart, my dear, the man who always looks before he jumps .misses a tine tumble in tho clover1. Chil? dren pla ?-ing together in the haymow -wouldmiss the best elixir of their sport if they measured every distance .and computed the safety of every risk. And lif a, a good part of it, anyway, is nothing more than the venture of children romp? ing in the dark.' A preternaturally wise child and a sharp man make poor com? rades in' either play or work. What gives to childhood its first and greatest charm? What more than its freshness and its capacity to enjoy a delusion? When the child outgrows its belief in Santa. Clans and fairies it ceases to have. the nature of a child, and the wiser it gets and the further from thehumbug geries of youth tho more of that first divine freshness and innocence it loses, 'until it becomes, like too many of us older ones, a withered stalk, with neither dew nor blossom left upon it KEEP TJS FROM TOO MUCH CONCEIT. When we pray for pure hearts let us add to our petition that, in the grind and turmoil of sordid living, we may Ereseirve a little of the "greenness" of fa's springtime in our nature. Keep us, good Lord, from too much conceit in our own cunning. Help us now and then to tako the attitude of little chil? dren who have something to learn. Make singing birds of us rather than sly old foxes; shrubs of living verdure rather than dusty specimens mucilaged inside _of a herbarium. Half the people one meets are only epecimens. They are types, samples In stock, anything but individuals. They have been brought up to be confonnista, and they are perfectly content with their labeling in the com? pany of the Great Alike. Usage plucks them early, as a botanist picks a rose to classify it rather than to enjoy its beauty, and conformity is the musty old herb? arium wherein they are pasted and let? tered for all time. Give me tho weed blowing in the meadow, wet by showers and shaken by storms, trodden under foot by happy children and browsed by contented herds, rather than the finest specimen of flora that any scientist has in his withered and dried collection. A green leaf with sap in it is better for re? freshment than a forest of dead cedars. Bless God, then, all you who retain enough May time in your hearts to keep you ' green" late into the season. Blessed be tho young man or maiden, the elder? ly man or matron who, in this age of precocity and progress, policy and nerve, retains enough of the primal innocence to'blush and be abashed on suitable oc? casion, and are not so wiso in their own conceit but what they may sometimes get tho worst of a bargain. The presence of 6uch a person in this shrewd and prac? tical old world is as welcome ns the sight of a buttercup in the alkali desert. April is never behind with her willows and catkins, May never forgets her con? tract with the apple orchards, and Juno is never late with.her roses.

"No, I haven't any news ot importance for you," said M. J. Gullen the underta? ker, to a reporter, "but I can tell you a mighty nice little story, the truth of which my books will verify. It is about the noble action of a little girl who came to me about fifteen years ago. She was then about 12 years of age, and despite the fact that her ontward appearance suggested parental negligence, she ap? peared to have a noble and honest heart. It was about 7 o'clock of a cold January evening when she walked into my office almost frozen and crying bitterly. She asked to see me, and when I made myself known she stopped crying and told me a pitiful story that would soften the heart in the coldest of persons. She Raid she lived near my stable; that her father was a drunkard and her mother was dead. She and a little brother 7 years of age, of whom she thought the world, were cared for by the neighbors when the father was on a sprea, and despite the father's misconduct, the little girl could not be induced to leave him. She kept the house and prepared the meals. She bore her lot philosophically and tried to be happy, but her whole peace of mind was almost wrecked when after about two ?weeks'sickness ber little brother died.. He was her pet, and the two were much attached to one another. She again bursting tears, and between 'heavy sobs she said that on account of her father's evil ways there was no money in the house, and she did not know how . her little brother could be buried. She had been told that the city - would bury the remains, but when she "looked into the manner in which such a burial would be performed?that the coffin would be a plain pine box and that instead of a hearse a wagon would take him to a pot? ter's field?she became almost frantic and would not allow it. She then plead? ed with me to bury hor brother. She wanted him to have a white coffin, a white hearse with white horses, and his remains to be taken to Calvary cemetery. Crying bitterly, she said: 'I will give you my word of honor to pay you as soon as I get the money." I was much touched by the story, and went to the home of the child and there learned the truth of her statement. The dead boy was laid on the bed, which wat neatly made up by the little girl. I immediate? ly took charge of the funeral, and com? plied with the every wish of the child. I never expected pay, and although I thought of the story for some time after I never expected to see the child again. Not long since, while seated in my office, a handsome and well dressed young lady entered, and, addressing me by name, called me aside. She;asked me if I re? membered her, and I was compelled to acknowledge my ignorance. Imagine my surprise when she told me of the little ragged child of fifteen years ago. eI am that little girl/ she's aid, and I have come, according to promise, on my word of hon? or, to pay you the bill/ I*looked over the books and found the account and she^ paid it. She has married well and her husband is a prominent and prosperous business man."?St. Louis Qlobe-Demo erat. One of the Seven Richest Men.
