A Narrow Life.

Recently an old stock-broker failed in mind from overwork in the New York Stock Exchange. Since that he has been speechless save the one expression, "Thirty-seven, thirty-seven." There came a time in his experience when his whole life became centered upon that one quotation, "thirty-seven," and reason went out with it. The facts are stated by the newspaper, but no lesson is drawn from it; yet what a lesson is in it! Better to retain one's reason by becoming a "fool for Christ's sake."
