A Tramp’s Dinner.

The New York Sun tells a good story of a sad-eyed tramp who accosted several well-known New Yorkers in Park Row. They gave him rcpellant glances, and he was about to move away when Campbell’s heart was touched by the manner of the stranger. “You look hungry,” said he. “Go right into Moynahan’s and order what you want, and I’ll pay for it.” A dubious smile broke over the careworn face. “ They’ll think I’m lying and kick me out,” was tho reply. “I’ll make that all right,” said the benevolent Campbell, turning to Moynahan. “Here, Patsey, you give the poor fellow what he wants, and I’ll foot the bill.” The sad-eyed tramp murmured his thanks and followed Moynahan into the dining-saloon. He took his seat at the table, called fqr a napkin, ate for an hour and twenty minutes, and departed. The following is the bill: What he got. What Campbell paid.
