REWARD OF HONESTY

Johnny Moore is the name of a
bright-cyed jolly faced lad, twelve or
fourteen years of age, whose invalid
and widowed mother, living on Nor
gan street, he helps to support by the
sale of newspapers and by such cr,
rands and small jobs as he may
chance to fall in with. johnny, who
is the hero of the pleasant incident,
we are about to record, is extremely
neat in his attire, though his clothes
have not always been Of the best. and
may have shown, in sundry patches
and mcnded rents, the results of both
poverty and frugal care. In short
Johnny is ust such a boy as we used
to read about" in Sunday-school
books. Yesterday morning bright
and carly, he was trudging along
Broadway between Franklin Avenue
and Wash. street when he chanccd to
stumble against a large pocket-book,
which lie found to contain large
number of bank notes and papers.
While he was mcdtating on the sud.
den riches he had amassed and which
he had slid into a capacious pocket.
or perhaps racking his youthful mind
whether to seek for the owner or CON
ceal his good fortune, a gentleman
rushed by him in an anxious, hurried
and nervous manner, which convinced
the boy that he was looking for some
thing, and he thought he knew what
it was.
Have you lost anything?" asked
Johnny.
"Ics--my pocket-book," was the
gcntlcman's answer; have you seen
it?"
The little fellow Expected he
had-he didn't know though. What
kind of a pocket book was it?
This led to an adjournment to q
neighboring store, where the flushed
and almost brcathless individual "oI
the first part" proceeded to say that
the pocket-book was a large black one
containing $1,000 in bank bills and
some accounts, strip of red morocco
binding underneath the flap being IN
scribed Robert Thomas, CovinSton,
Ky" The description Tailed, and
Johnny's eyes snapped with cheerful
ness as he placed the treasure, just
AS he had found it, into the strangers
hands and we opine there was great,
er Joy in that one act than $4,000
could have purchased, at the expense
Of guilty conscience.
! Mr. Thomas hardly seemed to know
which to feel most-relief on the re
covery of his money and papers, OIL
gratitude to the lad and admiration o.
his honesty, Taking Johnny by the
hand, whose bounding heart he knew
not why, had by this time splashet
