Sixty•6.e year. sgo • boy was born in
in Maryland, whose parents gave him ooth-
but • sound body, • shrewd mind, and •
kind heart.
At eight years of age he was alone in the
world, earning a pittance by eslli.g pea-
nuts. At twelve he had mwaad to keep
himself alive and to go to school for two
terms
At thirteen he went to Philadelphia, and
as he walked the streets of the great city,
he had not • penny in the pocket of his lit-
tle jacket to buy bread, but he had an hon-
est, stout heart under it.
He found • plan as errand boy in a book-
store and rose before dawn every day that
he could wash the pavement and kindle the
fire before any other store was open. "My
maxim always was," he said, " do your
work sow -a 000e."
This boy worked for years, sixteen hours
• day, with such aunty food that he saved
money out of hie meagre wages of three
dollars • week. He had no especial talent
or gift with which to gun nieces*. Vet no
man, perhaps, ever held the especial place
which he made for hlmeelf among the Amen
can people.
A few weeks ago, an old man, he was
struck down while at work and carried
home to die. luring the two weeks he lay
waiting for the mid. thousands of meas•gee
of grief and •Vection came from almost
every part of the rotted States, and many
from foreign countries. They were from
•very class and kind of man -great artists
and authors, woos he had once aided : or-
phans whom he was supporting ; princes
and dukes who had shared his hospitality :
penniless widows ; college boys whom he
had opened • career ; to them all he had
been kind, bad given help when help was
needed.
The great city in which he lived held its
breath while he lay dying. In .11 the
churches, the asylums, prayers went up
from him. Workingmen and ragged street
boys when they met is the morning asked,
"How u he •" and when the end came said
"He is dead "' and gathered about his house
in alas crowds with pale faces. They did
of Dowd to name him. There was no other
man in the world to befriend them as this
