Nothin' like a mother, boys— nothin' like a inother." $ll this had passed while waiting to wood, just. out of .Chicago. The great man-was swelling with emotions , called up from the dark• shadows of the past; his big rough frame heaved like a great bil loW upon the ocean: Tears sprung to his deep set and earnest eyes— , -they welled up to, the brim—and swain round asking to be let fall as tributes to his mother's memory—tributes to the love of the past. But he choked them down, and humming a snatch of an old ballad, he thrust his hands down into his pockets, walked back to the end of the car,.pulled the gigantic collar of hiS shaggy coat up around his ears, buttoned it clos4 and leaned back .I , ;ainst the window in silence. The cars, rattled on. What a mind was there; what a giant intellect, sleeping, buried away from light and usefulness by a rubbish of prejudice; habit, and custom —doing but half Work for want of cul ture. . "A mute ingloriou.4Milton," or rather Webster, going about the world,,strug gling with - his 'own soul, yet bdund .by chains of ignorance, whieltprechided his doing but a moiety of the good:it lay in his' power to do: All the way through our long, tedious journey, he had been ever on the watch to do good. • He gave up his seat by the fire to an Irish woman and her child, and tools one farther, back; soon a young girl seated herself by ,his side ;. as the night hours wore on,• and she nodded wearily, he rose, spread-his beautiful leopard skin ,with its soft, rich lining, on the seat, made a pillow of his:carpet-bag, and insisted that she should lie down and sleep . "What will you cloy said she, naively. "Neier mind me--I can stand np and sleep, like a buffalo; T' 4 3t used to it.". A little boy, pulled up from a sound nap to - give place to tneomers; Was paci fied and - made quiet ba handful of chest nuts and a gloiing it of-candy out of t the'big man's pocket.'

"You may haVe the whole lot for that," answered the drunken father, with a swine- Tike grunt. • ."It's a bargain," said the big man r "Pro , vidin' the mother's willin'." - 3 "Indide, sir, it's not the one of them cani , e 'had for money," was tho quiet yet detennined i responso of the mother's heart. How kiirdly he helped her,off the cars when at the break of dairy, they came to their journey's end. I . ' Thits all night had he'been attracting the attention of the waking ones in the cars.: But his kindness and rough polite ness would soon have been forgotten by mass of the passengers, had he not stamped it upon our memories with - his g01d. .1 . - 4 "I wonder who he is P' _ "Nthere did he get in "What an interesting Character." "FAlneation would . spoil him." "What rich furs "Did you notice what a splendid watch he caries ?" "11 . p's some great man incog." , • Stieh were a few of the queries that passed from lip to lip. But there came no answer; for he who alone could have answered sat crouched in his fur coat, seeming unconscious of all but his Own deep ihoughts." "Chicago !" shouted the brakeman, and in an instant all was cconfasion, and our hero was lost in the y crowd. The next we saw of him Was at the baggage stand, looking up a band-box for a sweet-looking country girl who was gding to learn the milliner's trade in the city. "As we pas's edto our carriage we dicovered him again, holding an old manly the hand,: while he graspe l d the shoulder of the conductor of anotheir train with the other, getting for the delif, gray-haired sire", the right infor matimi - as to the route he should take to get to' is .
