The world saw him and knew him in tin* latter charac ter alone. After his dinner and his wine lie was sometimes fretful, particularly if awak ened from his nap by the entrance of a sub scription-book for the benefit of the ‘Fire men's Fund,’ or the lee-total Indigent .So ciety.' His family knew his failing, and said never a word. When walking the pavement he would very carefully kick otf a stray brick into the gutter, for tear some excellent citizen would stumble against it ; and 1 have seen him lilt up an apple-pealing from the walk, appre hensive that it might prove disastrous to some inconsiderate or abstracted passenger. He was constantly offering his hand to old ladies to help them over the gutter, and looked heavenly when it was done. His shining brow was irradiated for an hour af terward, in contemplation of his own gal lant benevolence. How the world did ad mire Mr. Solomon Browse. Mr. Browse took a personal interest in every one's happiness, except that of his wife, who did not seem to have the world s appreciation of his charming character. It was beautiful to see him encouraging little boys, by patting them on the head and tell ing them, in tones of fascination, what learn ed. and excellent, aud useful men they were destined to be ! VV by, they never forgot it : it influenced their characters in alter lilt*. I'litis did Mr. Browse influence the destinies of society. It was indeed a great misfortune that his character at home, and within the domestic circle, was not appreciated ; for, in spite ot all his public benefactions, and his saeri lices for the good of society, bis own chil dren bated and feared him. it was their duty to overlook his faults, and although he was always very kind and amiable to all mankind in general, surely a man has a right to be as cross and ill-humored as lie pleases in a house of his own, and which was paid for out of the fruits of his own en terprise. To deny this, would be to deny the sanctity of the domestic altar. It he abused and insulted, in moments of irrita tion. his own children, he did not diminish his charities. He continued to give liberal ly to beggars, although he never gave a cent of pin-money to his daughters. Solomon Browse had a right to do this, aud who should complain ? What a-splendid reputation he had —out of his ow n house ! There the theatre of his benevolence was too circumscribed for his large heart, and lie scorned to labor on so small a scale. Every body praised him for his goodness, aud his expansive sympathies enlarge from day to day. He was indeed a man of feeling. Often has he wept over the sad story ot some poor destitute emigrant woman, while standing with hat in hand profoundly and benevolently listening, with a complacency of encouragement that was really wonder fill; and 1 have seen him pour the balm of his feeling heart into tin- wounds of a wood en-legged veteran of lMl‘2. ‘What a noble fellow! he would say, the tears running down his cheeks, while his heart beat with pride and gratitude to the defenders of his country. Thus Solomon Browse went about doing good. It was a necessary instinct of his na ture. It was temperament with him, and he could not help it. He was for ever pro jecting associations for the relief of destitu tion, and was continually lay ing out and re commending plans which society was bound to support, for its distressed members. Mis name was posted up in every public asylum as its founder or patron ; aud those who as sociated with him were great admirers of his benevolent face, and were forever praising his ‘balmy smile.' ‘Hear good man !' they would say, Svlmt a blessing to society !' TI 1 E 11 EE . We have said his children hated him. His wife told him he was a hum I mg, and this always irritated him He resented it al ways, and went on abusing till at home and doing good abroad. He left home one night, after a quarrel with his wife because the last box of tea was used up, and also because she wanted a few shillings for a bonnet for their eldest daugh ter. ‘Her extravagenee,' he said, ‘would be the ruin of him!' lit- presided that very night, with matchless dignity and grace, at the anniversary meeting of the ‘Bread-ami* Butter Society.' lli» speech breathed the very aroma of philanthropy, and tilled the whole hall with a delightlul fragrance. The next morning it was published in all the pa pers. it was eloquent, and filled with the noblest sentiments of humanity, bringing down blessings ami applause upon his be nevolent head. 1 need not say how calmly and gracefully he received the adulation ot his audience : waving Ids hand with a beau tiful motion, as it unwilling to disturb the serenity of his soul on such an occasion. Alter the adjournment, the poor members ot the ‘Uread-and-Butter Society thronged around him, pressed his soft hand, and im plored 11 eaven s blessings upon his noble and disinterested efforts in their behalf. *V hat tin honor to lie on such terms with him ! 1 hat night, by accident, lit- had forgotten his key, and had to stand ringing his door bell for at least live minutes. He wasn't angry at all, and didn't awaken his affright ed wife in vain. She walked down and let him in. He had a right to he let. into his own house, aud lie would see if any out dared to lock him out. Ihe curtains of sleep were folded gracefully around his be nevolent torn;, and lie was soon dreaming a glorious dream of descending angels, scat tering flowers arou ud his pathway. His poor wife, agitated and crushed by so benevolent a despot, counted the solitary hours of a sleep less night, and arose with a haggard face, the result of her untold sorrows. The next day he was nullified, ile awoke to find himself glorified in the papers. He said nothing of his speech to his wife or chil dren. She was expected to see it without having it pointed out by himself. Jf she ventured to hint some slight approbation of his remarks, and exhibit any pride in his fame, lie would cut her short with a ‘Pslmw! woman, what do you know of public mat ters His children were joyous—when he was not at home! Children always should he joyous: there are thorns and cares enough around them when they grow tip to be n et) and women. \\ lien Mr. Browse came home they spoke in whispers, and hid within the folds of their heart the gay and pleasant smiles of innocent childhood. Tliev were afraid to disturb his contemplation of those grand problems of society which absorbed his great and fertile mind. But Solomon Browse died one day. The ait was tilled with his praise. Obituaries, eloquent of lib virtues and of his public deeds, tilled the columns of the gazettes Delegations from all the benevolent institu tions of his country followed him to his grti'e, and lie was laid in his tomb amid the sobs and tears of thousands, to whom his benefactions had been blessings. His will was opened. It was full of excellent max ims for his children, in a codicil. All his property was left to the ‘Society for the Dis tribution of Farinaceous Food among the Industrious Classes, reserving a thousand dollars for a monument for himself He died regretted by every one —save his wife and children, who by his death were releas ed from the stern rule of a domestic tyrant. > ou may read his epitaph on his tomb stone. He lies on an elevated mound at (Jreenwood, and so does his epitaph. Ask that delicate and crushed wife what she thinks of it. March 2d, IS(L">.
