You ask, dear Jim, why I took so much in- terest in that boy? I will tell you, but mark mie, you must never allude to the subject again. I had thought, that for my own credit, no one should ever know the reason of my so- licitude concerning him, or why his doath has affected me so deeply. But he is dead now, and lest you should misoonstrue my interest in him to my prejudice, I will tell you frankly tne know of him, so far as it affects my- self.

I once had position and influence, and when you first knew me had never done any act to bring a blush of shame to the cheek of friend or rela- tive. Bat of this enough. It evfiiceth that one year azo, or thereabouts, as I went to my office on a beautiful morning in March, I noticed a boy walking down the street, just ahead of me, looking pale, emaci-t d, and yet beauti- ful. There was a peculiar—an excecdingly anxious look, that Pad never seen before Thero was the face of a boy with the anxiety ofaman. It struck me as peculiar at the first glance, and I stopped to look at him. I per- ceived that it was with difficulty he could re- strain himself from sobbing aloud. When he saw ine he repressed bis emotion, and spoke the case, so that sho had a decent burial. Bat the bey thanked me not. How could he? Could he feel gratitude that I had shown aa iuterest in the dead, which I denied to the living? He seemed disinoline to revsive avy favor from me, and in bis clear, calm, miit *ye, was too much for me to look st.
