RAGGED TOM. THE SURETY.

hAGGED TOM, THE SURETY.
One Saturday afternoon, a big boy stood a
the door Of a Sabbath.school. He was so baC
that he had been turned out of school the SAB
bath before. His father and mother had brought
him, and begged that he might be received
again. The superintendent said-s We should
be glad to do him good, but we are afraid that
he will ruin all the other children. 1t is very
bad for school when big boy sets wicked
example.
SIR said the parents but he is ten times
worse at home; lie will be lost IL you do not
take him back.'
We could take him back II we could Sc
cure his good behaviour. / will see,' thought
the superintendent.
80 he stepped back into the school, and rang
MS bell for silence. All listened while he said,
'Tnat boy wants to come into the school
again but We cannot take him back without
making sure of his good behaviour. viii any
one be surety for him n
pause followed. The elder boys shook
their heads. They said they knew him too
well. The others did not care for him. But
one little boy pitied the big bad boy, and was
very sorry that no one could be surety. The
little boy went by the name of " Ragged Tom.
II was not his fault that he was ragged, for his
mother was very poor The superinte ndent
soon heard his little voice, saying, sIf you
please, sir, will, sir.'
You, Tom little boy like you. Do you
Know what it means 10 be surety, Tom 2''
Yes, sir, if You please it means when
it,
And you are willing to be punished for that
big,boy7
Yes, sir, ifhe's bad again.
'Then come in said the superintendent,
looking to the door, and the big boy with
doWncast face walked across the floor. He
yfpar l,. n.
Doy, but Pm not so bad as that I'll never
let that little fellow be punished for me-ney-
err think God had put that thought into
lne Dig boys mind. He was graciously helping |
Toms work as the surety.
AS the children were leaving school, the su- |
perintendent saw this big boy and little Tom |
walking and talking together. He said to him
sen, l am afraid that boy will do Tom harm. |
must go and look after them.'
. When he reached the cottage where Tom |
son, Tom7' 'N
Oh he's just gone up stairs with a great
boy that he brought in with him. don't |
Know what they are doing.'
May go up?'
Oh, yes, sir.'
The superintendent went slowly and gently |
up stairs, and as he reached the top he could |
see through the door that Tom and the big
boy We're kneeling together. He soon heard
l rom,s voice, saying: &c o Lord, make this boy
mat has been the worst boy in the school, D
Lord, make him the best boy
Ihe superintendent knelt down by Toms
'loe, and they all prayed together.
God heard them, and made the big bad boy
20 become one Of the best boys in the school
ana ne raised up friends for Ragged Tom,'
Tho put him to school,, and after that sent him
. college SO that he was able to go as a mis-
nonary to the MISUNDERSTANDING school Jour

bany Iron Works is to recommence work this

ADJUSTMENTS DURING HARD TMEs.--It is q
little singular that while "hunger mobs''are as
sembling in New York, the theatres mostly
supported by mechanics, are we'll attended
every evening. The Herald says the receipts
are nightly about $4,000, nearly sixteen thou
sand persons being in attendance. The places
of amusement in Philadelphia are likewise well
attended. The theatres have good audiences,
and any fair attraction is sure to draw good
house. Lola Montez fills the Musical Fund
Hall every night she lectures. Concerts also
are well attended, when the attraction justifies
it. People appear to have money to spend as
usual in their ordinary pleasures.
