That was what everyone called him -
Mit family, or rather his step -mother's
bunny included -until Waddy, to whose
extreme ungainliness of form and feae
turfs had been dded& keen,almost pain-
ful sensitiveness, being worse looking or
raore apparently de trop than hiniself.
Hirt mother died soon after his birth,
and„his- father married , again -dying,
however, when Waddy was in his ninth
year, and leaving him an annuity of
three hundred dollars -a verytmall pro-
portion of the amount his shrewd and
managing step mother securedto his
half-brothers and 'sisters, all of whom
would have been glad, however, to for.
get or even ignore even that degree of
• reletionship. He was permitted, not
to remain in the family, a
*ortl of tolerated nuisance, his clothes
and meals being charged as an offset
against the annuity his father left him.
But the time was approaching when
Waddy would have been considered a
young mau if he had not been snubbed,
• cuffed and kept back. He had, more-
over,. been doing some thinking of his
own m a quiet and sensible way,*and
had at last decided to turn his attention
to book keeping. He had already, in
some way, learned to move his pen with
the ease and grace of a -master of that
art; and as for numbers,- his mired
glided into them with a, readiness which
in a few years enabled him to gain` a
thorough knowledge of the almost in-
comprehensible science; and he pre-
pared to leave the old family home and
repair to the nearest city in search of
employment. -
" Waddy," said oneof his half-sisters,
inspired by a bright idea, when about
to bid a cold. farewell to the bete- noir,
whose society they were so willing .to
dispense, "suppose you get your life in-
sured for about -five thousand dollars,
and 'assign the policy over to us. Your
annuity will keep it paid up,you know."
Waddy field he would think about it,
so he fastened the last strap of his trav-
elling hag and moved out and away.
"There is a queer -looking fellow
here," said Frank Morely to his part-
ners, "who says he would like employ-
ment as a book-keeper. He writes a
fair hand, and appears thoroughly am-
petent ; but his only reply to my in-
quiry for references, was that he had
never been in the work -house or in
prison, his bad looks having exempted
-him from both places. He id ready to
take any wages we offer." •
A desk in the rear of the back office
was assigned to the new book keeper,
and for a lodgingplace he was permittect
to fit up a small room in the upper part
of the building, where also he took his
meals, brought in from a restaurant. In
this way a year went by, the book
keeper's, wages being, in the meantime,
gradually raised from twenty to -Sixty
dollars a month,witha fair prospect of
still further advancement.
"What are you trying to do with that
drunken man, Miss? make him stand
up, or if he must lie clownegive him a
chance to do so in theetation-house."
•
The man is not drunk; Mr. Police-
man," answered the younglady address-
ed. "Hi
; fell on the ice just now, and
- hurt himself badly, I fear, but -get up
with ray help, and I im trying to assist
him to the drug-stbre on the corner be-
low."
"Hello, old fellow Who 4are you,
• anct where from 2" said the policeman,
taking hold of the man's arm and giving
him a shake.
"Please don't speak roughly to him f"
urged the young lady. He has al-
ready given me his name and address -
dawn in the- business part of the city,
-
more than two miles away."
"Better let me have charge of him,
Miss, and take him to the, station
house," persisted the policeman. "The
doctor will examine - him, and we will
send him to the hospital, if necessary,
or to his lodgings, if he is well enbugh
te go."
'Call a carriage and let me go to my
lodgings," said the injured Man, in a
feeble, but distinct voice. "1 Pam not
very badly herteraid feel stronger now."
"Have your own •way, then, old fel-
low. Less trouble to us," said the
roundsman, adding to the Young lady:
"There's nothing more you :can do,
Miss."
But to this remark Florence Langdon
'responded only by a shake of her head,
still keeping her place at the side of the
stranger until they reached the drug
store, where she was well known being
a frequent cestorrier. Some alight re-
storatives were administered, and poor
Waddy, gratified that his bad loas had
not frightened those people, remarked
that he was greatly obliged for their
kindness, and would now be able to be
takento his lodgings without further
treatnient.
A carriage was scion there, and the in-
jured man WAS placed in it,when a clerk
in the drug store observing a look of
anxious solicitude on Mies Langdon's
face, remarked that he would t_ake a seat.
in the carriage with her, and accom-
pany the stranger to his lodgings, and
then see hot- safely home. -
" What a -singular man l" remarked
Florence, while on their return, "He
seems to live there entirely alone, but
everything is in the neatest order- and
he has* hendeeene library 0400, full of
books, that *Lapeer to be well oelepted,
from the hasty glom I bed of them,"
"He it *book keeper for that house,"
seld the Work, "So the private weteh,
min told me while WO WON helping him
to hisroom, But the reason he geve
for being out in the eYening, ilfitt o fer
° from his lodginge, was a ow on@, He
walks out Only ploaiiiit evening, he
stye, for he teke 01 hie health, always,
however, Meeting the tneitepiet arid
sesluded etreett, for the reason that he
is so bad looking that he wishes to keep
out of sight AO much as he can." -
"What a singular whim 1-7t exclaimed
Florence. "He is very plain-lookinget
is true, but there is nothing repulsive
or forbidding in the expression of his
aountenance. •
By this time the carriage had reached
Miss Langdoner house, and as she step-
ved from it, her mother appeared at the
400r.
"Where have you been the last two
°hours ?" she exclaimed. "We have all
been half wild about you, and your
brother has just gone to the station -
bonze to report you missing."
"Then I have *little more work for
you, Mr. Woolley," said Florence, ad-
dressing her companion. • "Please go
around to the station house and tell
them to ring, 's lost ohild found."
a But what is the meaning of this I"
persisted her =other. "Are you
crazy?" '
"How should I know ?" was liihe
laughing retort. "Crazy people are not
apt to be conscious of any defect in their
reason."
Mother and daughter were soon in the
presence ol Mr. Langdon, who had, for
the last :two hours been enjoying the
agonies of the gout, -and was in a humOr
to quarrel with any one except bis
daughter ; with her, for some reason, he
could never get angry. He would al-
ways insist upon first hearing her
story, and than would never fail to dis-
cover that her conduct had been quite
right and proper. On this 1 mama' he
was soon laughing - heartily,: quite for-
getful of the mortal agony he had been
suffering. •
Stiveral years had elapsed since thi
passing and apparently unimportant in
cident, when the attorney who man
aged Waddy's business affairs,remarke
to him one day: •
"A letter has just been received froi
your late father's executor, -inclosin
your annual remittance; and the write
55 you will see, expressers a desire- to b
informed in regard to your health and
general welfare, and closes by asking i
yon have an inserancreop your life an
are keeping it paid up." ,
"It will be best, I think, to simply
forward my receipt for the annuity, and
take no notice of any inquiries," wa
Waddy's quiet rejoinder,
, "I would like'however," said the
lawyer, after a short' silence, "to learn
something in regard to the Mrs. Ander'
son, to .whom the five thousand dollar
life insurance, to the keeping up of
which your annuity hasteen applied, is
made payable in the -event of your
death. I have, as you know, received
several letters from the lady, expressing
an earnest desire to learn to whom she
is indebted for the Temittaeces I have
been occasionally sending her by your
ordee but you.have only permitted .me
to tell herthatthercome from a friend
who cherishes a deep interest inherself
and her family."
"Well, Mr. Brown," said Waddy,
"1 suppose it is best for me to: tell- you
the whole story: I have seen the lady
but once in my life, and then only for a
short time." He then proceeded- to; re-
late the adventure with which the read-
er is already familiar, adding • "-That,
sir, we/ the firgt time, so far as I .dould
remember, when any one had done any-
thing for me which I could not conceive
of as being prompted by a selfish inter-
est 1 form. The only evidence I
had that she thought of me afterwards,
was the receipt of a note from the clerk
who tad accompanied her, saying that
he and the young lady would like to
know if,I had sustained any serious in-
jury from my fall. That kind' inquiry
I immediately answered, with many
thanks to him and Miss Langdon, whose
full name and address I had ;obtained
from him. .
"Fromi that time," continued Waddy,
"1 have followed hcr history end for-
tunes continually. Her father failed in
, business a year after that incidental
meeting, and died within the next year,
his family being left to da the best they
could for themselves. Under these cir-
cumstances I adopted -Florence as' the
special object of my interest andcare,
and have done what I could for her.
Her husband, an enterprising "young
man, to whom she was married a few
yeareAgo, has beee - getting along very
well, in the Western city where they
now reside, With their three little child-
ren. The satisfaction a knowing that
I was rendering an acceptable
service - to one who was worthy
of it, and who might one day,
after I was gone'know from whom it
caine'has furnished the motive that has
been to Me like a guiding- star in my
life."
Six years have passed since the conver-
sation here referred to; and as the last
of them drew to an end, the book keep-
er closed his ledger for the last time,and
passed on to render his account before a
tribunal that permits no changes or
erases in the record of any one: .
-A sincere and tender respect was
manifested by the few persons who ac-
companied the -remains of poor Waddy
to the grave; but none of his kindred
were there, nor did they even know of
his death until they had learned from',
his attorney and executor that the an-
nuity would be no longer recrulred, ex-
cept a small balance due at the time of
his decease. The money was promptly
remitted, also a request for a copy of
poor Waddy's will, which was imme-
diately forwarded, and from Which they
learned that he had left a 'life,. insa
ranee of five thousand dollars, also
about four thousand in the savings
bank. Ws library, with other articles,
had been left.to certain persons who had
administered to his comfort during the
latter years of his life. • He had -directed
that his funeral should be conducted in
a plain and becoming style,and a simple
marble slab should be placed, at his
grave,with the words-" Poor Waddy,"
and nothing more. These matters being
provided for, there would remain- the
sum of eight thousand dolia,rs,which by
his will he had directed to be paid to
to Mrs. Florence Anderson. •
Another letter soon came, from Wsd-
dy's former home, written by a lawyer
this time, intimating a -disposition . to
test' the velediclity of the will, ;mime
certain questiengeeee dozen or mere—
were setisfectorily answered, The en,
MTN were not given, nor we's the will
ever disturbed, -
A few weeks after the booktke4or's
fumed, an elderly gentleman rang the
ball at a (Oft and pleasant ?mildew@ in
* Western city, and peeing his eard in ,
the head of the eervant wlw answered
it, requested her to Ulm it to her mise
tufo, Mrs, AtidersOu,
"I am much plessed to see -you, Mr,
Brown I"- Amid the ledy,entering the
perlor, "1 received your letter.s few
days ago, announcieg the death of one
'whose generates and constant remem-
brance of me has been a great mystery,
as well as an occasion of great grati-
• tude. The trials • and disappointments
that have fallen upon me, especially
at and soon after the death of my dear
husband, followed also, ine‘ few weeks,
by the death of my youngest child,were
lightened- and rendered endurable, so
far is they could be, by the conscious-
ness that I had an ,unknowu. friend,
somewhere, who was 'watching erne con-
tinually and caring for me ad with a
father or a brother's affection. And
now, sir, please let - me knew to
whom I have been indebted for this
kinct and watchful solicitude."

oeipt," said Mr. Brown, as he placed on
the table before her a certified check.
"Eight thousand dollars I" exclaimed
Mrs. Anderson. ' "Can it be possible
that I am eha recipient of this meal&
cent gift, in addition te the former acts
of kiudnesi ? Enough, with the little'
my husband left me to make me
and my two . remaining child-
ren comfOrtable to the" end of our
lives. I cennot remember that I have
ever done anything for any human be-
• ing that could deserve the hundredth
part of whet I have received from this
generous friend." • • .
"Do yopx remember," began Mr.
Brown," the poor book-keeper, who fell
on the ice--"
" Whet !" interrupted the listener.
"Waddy Reitman ? Can it, be possible
that that little act of kindness furnishes
the key to this:mystery ? Has the man
whom I simply helped to his feet when
he hadiallen on the sidewalk;and as.'
slated to his home,- been doing all this
for me?" -.
" Yes, madam," was the lawyer's re-
ply. " lie has watched you from that
until the e d of his life, and you have
6.;
been the re ipient of most of the money
- he has say d. His painful sensitiveness
in regard to his personal appearance
made him almost a monomaniac on that
subject, and he felt that for him love or
marriage Was forever out of the ques-
tion. At the same time he needed -some
end or purpose higher and more unsel-
fish than the supplying of -his own per-
sonal wants, and the belief that he was
contributing to the comfort of one who
deserved and thankfully -received the
issistanee. 'he was rendering, has sup-
plied the great want of his otherwise
lonely and floveless existence."
Much m re was told during that visit,
and 'Mrs. nderson's eyes were full of
• tears when she at last bade her visitor
good-bye. Every year, at the anniver-
sary a hie death, a wreath of immor-
• telles was Placed, by her orders, upon
Poor Waddy's grave, as a token of her
geeteful remembrance of the hitherto
unknown benefactor who had so liber-
ally requited an act of simple kindness.
Poet -Minister.
The Sootch have a prejudice againt "a
paper -minister "-that is, one who reads
his sermo a. This aversion compels
their preachers to write their sermons,
commit them to memory, and then
preach them as a schoolboy speaks his
"piece." The exceptions to thiu rule
are those gifted Orators who- work out
mentally the plan and thought of a ser-
mon,and are able to supply the words
while delivering it. Dr: William Rober-
tson, of Irvine, it is said, preached as if
engaged in elevated conversation, and
as one to whom the truth was at that
moment revealed.
A friend, after hearing him graphical-
ly describe the passage of the Red Sea,
asked him how he managed to do it.
"1 called up the scene before me," he
answered. 1 "1 saw the ptocessionof the
tribes, and I simply told what 3 saw."
What sort of a sermon did William
preach, ?" asked his brother James of an
intelligent but unimaginative clergyman,
who had heard Robertson preach the
previous Sunday.
"Sermo 1"., replied the clergyman;
"it was not a sermon at all, it was an
epic poem.'
Robertson's fellow -students expressed
the opinion that he would interest
a cultured few,but would never be popu-
lar.. The opinion was incorrect, for the
sailors and wes,vers of Irvine crowded
,the church to hear the young minister
whose sermons were "epic poems."
The sort of poetry he gave them may be
inferred from an anecdote. °
A few students, fresh from church
history, were talking in his presence of
the old scholastic question, "How 'teeny
angels can be supported on the point of
a needle ?"
"Five," said Doctor Robertson, "and
I will proveit." .
One wild stormy night, as he was
coming home late, through a side street
he saw re light in the window of a room
a
where a poorsea. Wondering what kept
woman lived, whose hus-
band was
her up so late, he looked in the window,
•
and saw he
while five r
sleeping ar
sewing by the dim lamp,
sy children /wire soundly
und her.
"And th re was a needle sepport-
ing five ateiels !" said he, triumphantly.
, The poetical elergyman was also a
wit. • He hid introduced some changes
into the forins of worship, which caused
ie -good- lady to remonstrate with him.
• - near," said she,"that you are in-
troducing some dreadful innovation into
your 9huroF seryice-that you read the
Commandm nts at the communion."
• " Indeed " he replied, "ewe have
iri-
trodnced a
that."
• "What
