One day,
everal years »go, while
Addison was sitting in his "garrety’’
rtxim. revising hi» Cato, he received the
following note from Dick S’e -Ie: " 'y

express it but can t you help me out1

Addison had out little money.
In

pawned bis goni sp«i , hi» richly urnu

'.he »urn to hi- il.-tr. ^-ed friend.
Sev
eral day» afterward«, when AddisoD
found himself in «Stee «’ neighborhood,
.«e decided to go up and see if there
were any other way in which he couid
help his poor friend. As he approach
ed the door leading into Steele’s room,
tie heard nin- c and dancingand sounds
onlv befitting the abo«ie of those who
felt the «ieight ot many nickels, but
uniting not, he shoved open the door
and entered. St« ele. dressed in a suit
of tawdry clothe», stood in the middle
of the room. On the sofa sat a young wo
man with a disco ored eye; beside her
reclined a woman witii bad teeth; while
at the right atood worn n who were not
grand-rnotherly in appearance.
Dan
dies and hilarious bucks stood around,
and upon the whole, the scene was one
of fashion and excessive refinement.
When Addiaon entere«l, Steele, who had
been turning the crank of a musical in
strument, arose and said;
"Hah, here is Mr. Addison,
all glad to »ee him.
Addison,
you And yourself!”
Addison was disgusted.
He looked I
*t the table, loaded with ham sand-
wichea and »aid:
“I thought, air, that my donation
was intended to keep you from pria-
on ?’
"Correct you are, cully,” exclaimed
Steele, "but now that I am out, we
■hould enjoy ourselves,
Henry,” ad-
dreaaini ig a boy, "bring Mr. Addison a

you do not seem to be enjoying your

to keep me out, ehP
Glad to hear it.

have been in jail. As it is, I am giving
