On the 25th of October, Sir Moses Monte- fj»re, London's Peter Cooper, will attain the ace of 100 years. The event will receive ap- vropriate recognition in England, and the Jewfch rabbis everywhere have already taken action to commemorate the long life, I fraught with kindly and useful deeds of thie I crest human benefactor descended from | their race. The octwiioh is not one that in- tercets Israelites And Englishmen only. Lives so spotieak and so richly laden with Mirice to their felle* men as that of Sir I Moses are a worthy source of pride and I honor to the whole human family. The I Gentiles, then, will not fail to join with the Jews in paying a fitting tribute to this good man upon the occasion of his reaching an age which may well be deemed wonderful, aftd which comet to biin, unimpaired in in tellect, as.a fitting reward; for a life of no- [ bit charity. _ . _ A Bank President's Duty. [Rochester Express.] Bank President: “Well, you may consider yourself engaged as janitor. The position, | u you will sea from the instructions I have giten you, is not a difficult one to fill, yet it carries with it a good deal of responsi bly.” Mew Janitor: “I am much obliged, sir, for the place. There's one thing, however, yon tore not told me about. Shall I clean out the bank every night!” “Oh, no. I'll attend to that myself.' JERRY M’aULKY. Probably no one man in New York was more widely and peculiarly known than the late Jerry McAuley. His place waa not in “society,” but among the denizens of the slums of the city. For many years he had lived and worked among them, and his death will be felt as a personal loss by many a poor soul. His life was a remarkable one. When a mere boy he fell in with the “gangs” ol those days, and became a river thief. HU life of crime continued until he was sent to state prison. There he was con verted through the efforts of a fellow-con vict, and determined, when he come out, to do all be could toward the reformation of the meu and women in his old haunts. The Water Street mission was opened in 1872, in the very worst portion of the city, where terrible riots, robberies and murders occurred almost nightly. It was the most unpromising field possible. The missionary had scarcely any friends, no education and small intellectual ability, but he had pluck and perseverance and firm faith in the Divine power. His suc cess is known to everyone. When ho left Water street, its character had wonderfully changed, and it had lost its old reputation as the worst in the city, and these result* were due largely to his own personal efforts. His last years were devoted to the saving oi abandoned women in the district near hii Cramorne mission, and many such were res cued by bis efforts from lives of shame.
