Text Appearing Before Image:
irishman, who was popularly believed never to smile. He made friends with his lodger and was reformed. He learned to laugh, and even to crack jokes on his own account, and, altogether, developed into a social animal wonderful to behold. A year later the writer was invited by Mr. Mackeever to attend a wedding up-town. The bridegroom was the tenement house proprietor. Now that he had discovered what his old lodger was, he worshipped him almost as a Polynesian savage does his idol. He knew more about his works than Mackeever did himself, and was particularly fond of writing to him suggestions for new subjects. It was he who traveled to Philadelphia to pay his last tribute of respect to his dead friend. It was this charm of spirit and of manner which made Samuel Anderson Mackeever what he was — a Benjamin of literature. Bright as his works were, they were but a reflection of his sunny nature. Sterling as they were, they were no purer gold than his own warm heart. ■■Br GLIMPSES OF GOTHAM.
Text Appearing After Image:
MISS ELIZA WETHERSBY. GLIMPSES OF GOTHAM. 11 LADIES WHO WANT MONEY. member among other pretty bits of poetry which I in my books at school, was one about the robin and disastrous effect which the approach of winter was »sed to have upon him. There was one verse which began :The fierce wind doth blow. And we shall have snow. What will the poor robin do then? Poor thing! as of an exceedingly sensitive nature, and the tough ...ok for the robin used to affect me wonderfully, but gradually ascertained that they either went south on ir-line, or put up with relatives in snug quarters, I ceased to worry. I never pick up a New York paper and read of the rations, more or less extensive, which certain, n robins are making for the winter but what I think ... bird whose prospective sad fate used to cause my ...ish tears to flow down my little nose, and thence a sympathetic splash to the page of the book before... Who are the New York robins? They are the shrewd poor, the sentimental hard-up, the broke men and women who have no money
