The following pathetic incident from a fecently-published - book, entitled ' Lights arid Shaddws of New York Life, tells ( its own story : — <l He was a littlo old-fashioned boyj who had always lived in a dull, old NewYork street. A country cousin appeared, and he begged that he might go home with her. After infinite objection^, consent was obtained. „ " He was Laketi down to the country t with its cloud-flecked azure sky, "its flower-laden earth, its bewildering beauty, which held him. henceforth a Willing captive. " He was soon found seated by a bed of spice-pinks, looking at them in 'an ecstasy of adoration. " " " ' Pick some;' said his (Sousin; ' pick as many as you want." " ' Pick . them 1' repeated' the boy. ' I'm afraid to. Areri't they God's ?' ' " This was the supreme moment of his life. They could not keep him 1 in the city again. " To-day he ranks high ag an American artist, dated his birthday from the time 1 he first saw* tlie glory oi God in' flowers'.'
