took naturally to piety nt an inrlv ago
and epent tho hes.t ye.tr.i (.f his life an a

Theio can he no iiucstion, among anv
.ho knew him, ot his ninceiity in all
that ho piofehMtl, even in lii , I elief of
tho diiuo inspiration of tlio "viioiu," ho
iw from time to lime, and lo which,
they being all hi 1 own, ho could adapt in
teiprctatioiischarmingly. To help along
(he spread ot universal lroodnesn he put
lortli a himdl volume, wliu h ho infilled
"Downev j Proverbs." It is rather singu
lar, hv tho v.:iv. that thin little 1 cud;.
I issued cnrlv in tlio lilties, and soitl to tho

when heln'stowcd gifts upon ilclipci
hons he caiefullv wiiilo down In a iiieni
oiaudiim hMik just what tlio icciplciilH
said or did. Am tor Instance:
"May 17-(lavo to Mr. It. F. W a

caiat, for which I paid $'''!. He wild
'Humph,' put it on Ids linger and did
not even thank me."
In another case his hook looords, afler
such details 1111 given above, that a lady
to whom ho gave veiy pictty peai'l
brooch," wild: "Oh! how lovel.vl How
can I thank vou enough? You aro a
dear, good ohfinnn."
He was an Intimate nnd devoted filend
of Mr. uiiil Mrn. A. T. Steward, paitieu
la llv the latter, but had lor, lodge lllllon
all the detcstatiou that his gentle natllio
wan capalilo of. Many high dlgnitaiien
iesotiiled hy uutogiuph letters to the
missives lii'Hent them with )icseiitation
copies of his book, among w'lom wan no
less a iMrMonago than liieen Yicloiin.
whoso liiief nolo of thanks ho valued
above all his other eaithlv osscHHioun
and wan vcrv fond of exhihi'tiiig.
When he found his heating and voice
contiol lading him, ho gave up tho
iimiiteitrliome missionary work in which
lie had cuipl'-v. d himself since ho had
glow n too old lor foicigu ten lee, but
his active disK)sition compelled him to
have some occupation, so ho went into
business u in pel ipatelie dealer in cm ions
mid iiiccious stones, l'or a long time he
conlliicd himself to handling such gi iiih
as wero favoied hy mention in tho llihle,
jasper, lervl, chalcedony, onyx and
other qiiccraml little know 11 stones, iiihui
whicli tlio niajoritv of peoile looked

(iradually ho got to hiivingtiud tell
ing tuhics, nipphircN and (liamouds, but
110 matter what his stock might be, ho
seldom, if ever, sold a ntnno iwoopt for
Mimelhiiig lets than it had ( ost him.
Pioma Htiictly husincin oint of view
this Hystem might havo iiemcd lome
what " defective, but it nppcnicd
to Mitisly him, mid ho wan liner

he gave away. Whether buying or wil

chance to proi laiin iiitu elf "11 si rvaiit of
