The good goes on. bat it is not always with a noble heritage left to humanity a name 4s linked undying. So. it seems to bare been, however, with the self denying, simply living, noble Howard—a man whom “.all the blood of all the Howards" would not have ennobled like bis life or toil and suffering, spent, as Burke pat it. “taking the gauge and dimensions of misery, depression and contempt.* After a century has elapsed, the name of , Howard is still a watchword,a eym. bol of the open heart and gener ous charity, of the toothing band .and soft step, of melting sympathy and watchful care, of the midnight vigil in the halls of the rich and in the beta of the poor. Wherever mighty and unsparing affliction baa obliterated all distinction and fused -all men tmx> humanity, and made native nobility in man stand out bright in the darkness of woe, the name of Howard still lives to be a atay and hope for the well and a com Tort for the sick and afflicted.— It was *o accident led to the adop lion of the name "Howard Aassocia tion” «f which we bear so much. It was kindred ideas and sympa thies which saw in the name or a man who produced a revival of that broad humanity which is the funda mental idea or Christianity a fit appellation at iiockbnry, near Londen, the son of a tradesman, and Inherited an independent for tune. It was not used for any low ends, not even tor that higher of low ends mentioned by the poet, who advised the acquisition of wealth: “Not for to hide it in * Ultcfc, Not for • train"nttendeht; __ But for the gtortutf* privilege Of being independent," Far from seeking independence, ha used it in making himself the ■lave of humanity in a physical sense, but thereby secured that no ble independence of a man whose moral nature lifts him above' all trammels of Sense and low desires. Me was on a mission of mercy to Lisbon, after the great earth quake, when he met with a rnisfor tune which was the direction of hiB future life. Captured by a French privateer hit life'in prison deter mined bis life work amongst the wretched and vile, to alleviate sjf ferings and seek some restoration uf she -means of moral reform, of -which the criminal was deprived bj prison life and discipline. He vis ited most of the prisons of Eng land, and induced the Commons to begin a system prison reform. From -that, 1771. he spent his life travel ing over Europe, visiting prisons *nd hospitals, nursing and relieving the sick, sharing the prison fare with the worst orimihais and exhib - *dtiug the most heroic .devotion.-— '-•Ho—'wee-temperate, well, denying. ■ simple in habits, and in diet, rigid ly abstemious. ' In 1790. after a life-time spent in good works, he died on the field of honor at his post. It may seem that such a life should have ’ ended at home with friends abont the conch and the sympathetic bands of wife and ohildren -to soothe and'oaress and catch the whispered farewell of one on whom the curtain has descended in the last se^.

A female book peddler came to the office the othei day; ahe wished to dispose cf a hook. - She was alone in the world, and bod do one to whom she oouid turn for sympathy or aseistance, hence we should buy ber book. She was unmarriedrend had uo manly heart into which she oouid pour her sufferings, therefore we ought to invest in a book.. She had received a liberal education, and we conld not, in consequence, pay her less than two dollars for * book. We had listened atten tively and here broke in with: ‘YVkat did you say? We’re deaf.' She started up in a loud, voice and went through her rlgamarole. When *he~ bad finished,- we-went and got a roll of papt-f and making a truuipet placed one end to our ear, ana told her to proceed. She nearly broke a blood vessel in her effort to' make herself heard. She com menced : “I am alone In this world—” “It doesn’t make the slightest dif ference to us. We are a husband and a father. B-gainy is not allow ed in this State. We are not elig ible to proposals." -“Ob, what u fool the man la!" ■be said in a loud tone. Then, at the top of her voice, ‘T don't want to marry you, 1 want to sell a book.” This last sentence was howled, “We don't want a cook,” we re marked blandly; “our wife does the cooking, and she wouldn't al low as good looking a woman as you to stay in. the house for Uve min utes. She is very jealous.” She looked at us in despair: Gathering her robes about her giv ing us a glance of contempt, she exclaimed: “I do believe if a three-hundred pounder was let off alougsi.de that deaf fool's bead he'd ti/iuk that somebody was knocking at the door.” Yon should hare heard her alam the door when she went out.
