I w'rite the.'Je few pages, as I think In after > ears, If we llvo, tlio impressions now put down will recall more vividlv hor chicf c’iaractc'ri:Uicrf. From wh;it»'vor po'nt 1 look back at her, the main fv-aturij in her disposition whirli at one«? rise.s )>e- fore me is her buoyant joyou.snesa, tem- piri'd l>y two other characteristics—name ly. her sensltivr>nens. v.-hich mi^ht easily have been overlooked by a strangor, and her strons^ tiffectlon. 3Ier Joyuiii^iies.'^ and animal spirits radiated from her v.^hole countenance nnd rendered ^ve^y move ment ciustic and full of life und vIf?ror. It was delifrhtful and cheerful to behold her. Ji>r dear face now rises before me as she used sometimes to come running downstairs with a stolen pinch of snuff for me, ht r v. hole form radiant with tha pleasure of glvln," pleasure. 1-Js'en when playing- with her cousins, when her joy- I ousness almost passed into bob^tercu.snca*, ' a single glance of my eye, not of dit^pleas- I ure for I thank Clod I hardly ever cast i one on her—but of want of symnathy. I would for some minutes alter her 'whole countenance. The other point In her character which made her joyousne-ss and spirits .‘;o de- lifrhtful was her strong affection, which wa.s of a mos:t clinurin.£f, fon<llin^ niiture. When <iuite a baby this showtd itself in never boint? easy without touchiniT her mother when in bed with her. and quite iatcl>' ^:he would, when pcorly. fondle for any lonirtli of time one of hor mother’s arms. When very unwell, her mother lyin;^ doW!i beside her s'eemed to soothe her in a mani:er fjuite different from wliat it wnul.l have iloiie to any of our other childn n.

The lini>ortant Thing In Tlie place winch one holds In this world is of minor importance as com pared with the decree to which that j)laee is nilrd by the inciimbent. I*lace seeking is not :i new development. Scripture tells of an nncient type of bunninlty which wa.s always on hand for the chief seat. The Bible also tells what happens to the one who Illls well the place assi;;iied by circtnnstances and the .sad fate of the fellow who edges his way into the wrong box. This, however, is a strenuous place hnntin.a aj?e—i)laco in the public eye. Prominence is forced upon some peo ple by the necessity for keepin.i; the world’H menagerie tilled with “lions.” There are literarj- “lions,” .social “lions,” political “lions,” liuancial “lions.” The attraction of one day is pnshtnl aside l)y a newcomer the next. Applicants are plenty, and candidates, both willin.g and unwilling, are being boomed by zealous champions and ad mirers. Xaturally the clamor of .so much place hunting overtops the voice of common setise and droAvns the appeals of conscience, Meiit, It is commonly said anti comnjonlj' believed, does not coiint. Some sort of pull Is the sine qua non to .‘■'ucce.s.s. 15iit merit does coiuit with the doer of deeds. He has a heritage in the greatness r.chieved, the thing well done, the enteri)rise put through. To live in a great age and be a live factor in it is to sliare its great ness. What of the n;en both iu the IK)!!!! and the .south v.lio in tlie sixties did not feel and strive with their sec tions? In the seventies they were no- L>odies, and iu tlie eiglities thej' were forgotten. “ T was with Grant,’ the veterati said.” and even an impostor making that claim could be sure of a resj>ectful hearing. To iiave stood with Lee :ind the defeated at Apponi:ittox is a patent of nol)ility today v> herever the name American is lionoreii, and yet iliere wasn’t jt man who marched with (Jnuit or who .stood with Lee that ex pected ever to have liis deeds j)ut in type outside of llie new.-r ‘.iK>i’s <if th;tt day tir to live bey.ond the next Fourtli of Julj’ sp.asin of oratory. Merit writes its rc'cord on the ro;Ii of ages. 1 ime can nevt'r obliterate tlie page, aiul it i.s noi)l(‘r to be a private in th(* I'anics of i)!'ogn*ss tiian a place huntin.g incubus at tlie he;id of the procession. KAISER AND UNEMPLOYED. The German Kmporor la Very So» lioltoas tor the Welfare of Workin«;men. A noteworthy incident occurred re cently when the enjperor, accompan ied by pome of his aids-de-cjiinp. was returning from his enstoniary ride in the Thiergarten to tht‘ old j*alace here, says a iierliii correKj)ondeiit of the London Standard. H<- noticed a {^roup of the nne^^iployed on the bridge in front of the p.T.lace. ainJ after returning tlieir salute looked closely at them and thnn beckoned to a j)olice oflicer and nergeant. After speaKing to them be agaiji greeted the iinemployed nnd went on hi.*-- way. It is said th.nt his niajestv is greatly distressed at the scarcit\' of work and consecpient suffering, anci is anxious to relievt* it as far as j)os- sible. With this ol)ject he lias or- flered tliat certain pid)b> works, v.-hich were to be undertaken at a later date, shall be begiu» as soon as ])ossii)le. He has ftirther <>x- pressed a wish that the illuniina- ti(>ns on the oec.isif)n of In's birth(Jav shall be limited and the money saved thereby syient on charitable i)tir- poses. This wish has IxM'n communi cated to the Tierlin municipal autiior- iHes, who will act accordingly .arid devote the money to the relief of the poor. Tht‘ emperor daily receives numer ous petitions for relief, which are ail carefully examined and, in cases of real distress, granted.
