Th® Father.
Thord was the proudest man in the
parish. He stood one day in the par-
son’s study, tall and grave. “ I have a
son,” he said, ‘‘and wish him chris-
tened.”
“ What shall be his name?”
“ Finn, after my father.”
“ And the sponsors.”
Thord told their names, and they
were the best men of the parish, and
women of his own kin.
‘‘Is there any thing more?” asked

he said. - ,. > * *■,
“ Half of what I have; sold my farm
to-day.”
The parson sat long in silence. At
last he asked mildly: “ What will thou
do now?”
“ Something better.”
They sat awhile—Thord with his eyes
fixed on the floor, the parson with his
fixed on Thord. Then said the parson,
slowly and very kindly, “ Now I think
thy son has become a blessing unto
thee.”
“I think so, too,” said Thord; he
looked up, and two tears ran heavily
down his cheeks.

The young men who had encouraged
Leif to the venture were shy now to

bear to look at him. Thus, the old men
had to do what was to be done, and the

Much has been said of late concern-
ing Greeley’s folly in lending such
enormous sums to worthless applicants
who only repaid him with ingratitude.
This was a remarkable weakness, but it
may to a certain degree be explained.
Greeley was, during the first seven years
of his New York life, a poverty-stricken
adventurer, who failed in every effort.
He had many hopes of making the New
Yorks r a success, and, indeed, it was the
