asked for few pennies with which to buy

There was something about the boy that

to make some inquiries of him. which led
TO the following statement OF facts:

toward the destination Of his family. until
the time when he entered the office Of the
gentlemen above named.
He says that on his way he was some-
kindly. When he was left at Buffalo he
had 80 in his pocket, and once while or
his journey, being foot-sore and weary,
he had paid one-eighth of his money fol
the privilege of riding some distance in
a stage, but after riding mile or two. his
name not being on the way bill, he was or
dered out of the coach. As an offset to
this unkindness, however. some. stage
drivers carried him considerable distances
without pay. Sometimes he slept i'm good
warm beds beneath hospitable roofs
sometimes he was forced to seek the hay

In entering the office Of Messrs Brown

and bruises he reJoiced in, for they gave
him the means of revenge. Scott was ar

Of premeditated malice caused by the ar

Penitentiary for three years.
The term Of his imprisonment was out
early in 1887. lie came back to Cincin-
natl, an otf.cast, who no one would employ,
no one associate with. His wife, who had
given birth to child while he lay waiting

on, brok hearted, by the help of the Me-
thodist benevolent society, was dead when
he returned to the world, and her infant was

lived; it was a grocery. and he drank there

wholly destitute and desperate, he wen,
aboard a steam boat as deckhand, and has
not since visited our city.
Was that man ruined by going to one
ball, then! No. But he was ruined by
doing one act contrary to his conscience;
by that act he placed himself within the
reach of Satan. and fell his victim. 1t IS
an awful thought, but true one, that we
cannot. till the last day, measure the con-
sequences of single wrong act. May
God forgive the countless ones that we

ties Of the negro race. 'There is only

coffee together one day on the Boulevard.
