and yet that Is where beginners serve
their apprenticeship. For at less
eight hums the night clerk has exclu

one to turn to in oase of an emergency
If anything happen* ho must rely sole

A BTORY OP TOM MOORE.
Aa old lady who used to be mach is
London society, relates a tonebing stojy
of the poet Moore. On one occasion
when the once brilliant wit aud wriMr
wot In bis old ago losing his memory,
lb* American was atked to sing for a
small company of which ho was on*.
Bhe complied with the request and aang '
"Believe me if all those endearing yoang
charms.” Thu poet listened with evl
dent pleasure to his famous and charm-
ing piece, anil when the singer finished
he -sid with much earnestness:
"Will you please tell me who wrote
that beautiful song?'’
"Why, Mr. Moore,” she answered,
"you certainly can't expect me to be
lleve that you have forgotten your own
work.” The old man regarded her an
instant with pathetic look, and the eon
■ciousness of his infirmity and broken
mind evidently forcing itself npon him.
Then lie buried bis face in bis hands
and burst into tears, Tom Moore, tb*
brilliant, fiery favorite of London *o
ciely, could only weep for what he was
In remembering what he had been.—Bet-
