Robert Parker. Lee E. Glazebrook is what the world denominates a poor, man, but he is rich in friends and in the consciousness of having never received a dollar for which he did not in return give-value received. Without a single expensive habit, without the loss of a cent in wild speculations, and with scarcely an idle day in twenty-six years, yet he has tailed to accumulate, and all because his money has gone to help others who have been near and dear to him; gone to pay debts he never contracted and was under no obligations to pay.

Such on unselfish life, as he has thus far lead, is seldom seen in these days of mad rush for gain. Mr.' Glazebrook belongs to the Masonic order of this place, Though not a church member, he is a man of thestrjetest temperate and moral habits,
