The south-bound trains that summer were heavily loaded with troops and provisions for t hr- army, but going back they carried fen passeng ers. At Pittsburg, when the train rolled into (lie station, a great, silent crowd waited for it. A splendid funeral car stood In the background s urrounded by troops and the streets were filled by a long iln • r.f closed carriages. A volun teer officer In the union arm y, who bad been a man of influence anA high posi tion in Pittsburg, had l«?en killed In the last battle and now his native city mourned him and did him .honor.

Sage Is described by those who havej seen him as a little, withered old man. [ with a furtive expression of the eye, J Indicative of constant dread and ap- f prehension. A steadfast gase from; a harmless stranger will throw hint j Into trepidation, and if an Individual' whom he does not know should npenk to him In a casual way, he would be absolutely terrified. This sense of fear cay be due to the fact that men of Ms tamp must renlize that they are legitimate objects of resentment, ami that is ts only by suffemace that they are permitted to live In a world which they do absolutely nothing to make at tractive. To such persons wealth can be no thing but n curse. To worship money for itself alone renders it a care and j a source of concern that banishes all j the Joy from life. The miser cheats; himself und It does not soothe him to [ know as he ahvuys does that he is cordially hated by humanity. It is doubtful whether there Is a man with in the pale of the law in this country who enjoys to a less degree the sympa thy of hie fellow creatures than Hus sell Sage, who appears to have been willing to sacrifice the delights of friendship, the good will of eociety, the happy consciousness which pro ceeds from the performance of gener ous deeds for a vast sum of money which yields him no comfort and which he is afraid somebody will take from him. Russell Sage who is as mean to himself as he 1 to ot.h»rs exempli fies a type of the rich man which, happily for . the world, is becoming more rare wllh the diffusion of a higher civilization. Society has Come to regard with distinct disfavor the man who refuses to Contribute of his abupdance to those causes which make the world a better place to live in.
