which be agreed to take his pay part in
cash, part in bonds, and part IN stock
The stock of this road, be it remembered
like many othcrs-was not worth Z
"Continentai," and has always kept up
It's value Tith remarkable Uniformity. In
due time Pat, having completed his job,
presented himself at the treasurer's Office
for settlement The money, the bonds.
and the certificate Of steck werc soon in
his possession.
"And what is this now ~ said Pat,
fourishing his certificate of stock, bearing
the broad seal' Of the corporation.
"That IS your stock, sir" blandly re-
piled the treasurer.
"And is this what Tn to get for me
labor? Wasn't me contract for sthock?"
"Why, certainly that is your stock
What did you expect? 7"
"What did l expect ~ SAID Pat, ez-
citedly; "Wbat did Ie1pect? Why pigs,
and shape, and horses shure.'

Woman with soft touch
Battle this young brow;
You with the strong arm
Raise that soldier now.
4 cup of cold water
For him wounded sore
He asks if brother
Needs ii not more.
Look on his dark skin
Grim slave-scars are found,
Where blood rushes red
From the freedman's deep wound.
Few words are spoken
Ne bandagc and feed
Our soldiers and prisoners
In peF.Ioas need,
Comfort and light throw
Over Deaths Passage,
AID for beloved ones
