But here is a man, of moderate ability, of small wealth, of-few school-days; but there is some thing about the very atmosphere in which he lives that indi cates that we are in the presence of a whole man. The warm grasp of the hand shows that he is ear nest in his friendships. We can not be with him ten minutes with ont hearing some remark which tells us that he has a great and eontrolliug purpose in life, an ob ject to gain that is worthy of a whole man. The moral earnestness makes the man whole; the whole man carries out the earnest pur¬ pose. No man without a large, controlling*, towering purpose can be great. The greater the pur¬ pose of his life, the greater the man. Now we can understand hpw the weak stumbling Chrtsti an, growing up into the likeness of Christ, can at last become a king and priest unto God. This king and priest is but the whole man, taken one step further and given time enough to grow.

JENNY LIND AND THE DISSIPATED MUSICIAN. The only person I ever met who knew Jenny Lind in her childhood, was Max Bronzden, an old mu sician. 1 asked him to tell me of her, and the old man's furrowed face became radiant with a smile, “Remember her," said he; “she has been the angel of my life; the memory of her voice was my salvation. She and I were once alike poor. We were young and happy. Hand in hand we used to wander in the fields and on the hills of old Sweden* -x- Tears passed, and she became the idol of prmces-and kings, and from ufar I worshiped her, as I A\oultl worship a star in yonder heaven. I tried to keep pace with her, but failed. I became a victim to strong drink, and with that vile passion ambition was buried. In 1849 I was passing ‘Her Majesty s Theatre in London. I was sober enough to recognize the clear, ringing thrill that had tin illed me in my boyhood days. Ivas pen niless, but I determined to ontei and hearthat voice oneo more I watched my chance.

Lucia Lammermoor was the opera, and she was Lucia. I saw her appear in the first scene joyous andliappy. Every part of the character she protrayed with lieart-searcliing truth. Then came the climax of her powers, her ul¬ timate madness—the crushing of the heart and mind which produc¬ ed the death scene in the last act. For a moment there was a thrill¬ ing silenc e then a tempest of ap p ause that made the house trom ble.
