The Soured Man.

Wilmington (Del.) Home Weekly. Nobody loves the soured man. Ha is not an agreeable companion; his sympathies have been warped, his temper made surly, his' disposition embittered —he is at o ats with the world. No one very well remembers what be once was. All have forgotten the time when his pnlse beat warm and high, when his hand had a firm and hearty grasp, when he loved and hoped. Everybody knows that he is cold, cross grained, i rpractical,and cynical now. The world pushes him aside, society votes him a bore, and l his best friends shake their heads and wonder that they ever lupposed Be would amount to anything. He is a failure, and everybody knows it aa well as he does himself.
