cis Shaw, that when he finds hy

aging not only the streets but

s reasonable. 1
\.N AGE OF COARSENESS.
It is an age of coarse effects, j
m age of advertisement. A poet
ould not consistently sing now
,bout a rose left to bloom all un
een, for excursion trains would
ie sure to be arranged there at
educed rates. It is a confiden
ial age, and we demand a confid
nt as much as a matter of course
s the heroine of the old-fashion- J
d Italian opera—in fact, we de
land the undivided attention of (
he whole world. We sing our
ongs and listen greedily for the 1
pplause of the gallery; we meet
dth domestic misfortune and
/eep on the bosom of the divorce
ourt, and the daily papers weep
/ith us. We do not do good by
tealth, but rather in such a way
hat we get a baronetcy or a dec- i
ration. So when you see a man
11 tinkly with little stars and
hings you will know that he is
lways a very great and chant
ble man indeed, and charity is
iot only alms bestowed on the
>oor. It is the beauty of charity
hat it is not bigoted. —Black
vood’s Magazine.
