stock of goods before the prices bad gone
up, therefore he is now selling the finest

DROWNED IN A RAIN BARREL,-On
Monday, Margaret Dunlavy, woman
about fifty-tive years Of age, residing in
Black Valley, says the POttsUiLie Jour
nat, went to the rain barrel to get some
water. The water being low-not over
sixteen inches remaining in it-she
was compelled to lean over into the
barrel, and in so doing lost her equilib-
rum and fell in. A man from Prim-
rose was passing the house at the time,
and instead Of stopping to assist her
out, drove on to neighboring house
and told what he had seen, but before
the neighbor5 could reach the spot the
unfortunate woman was drowned. Had
the man hastened to her assistance the
woman would, doubtless, have been
saved. Deputy Coroner Neugart held
an inquest ON the body yesterday, bat
no verdict has yet been rendered.

After Dinner on Sunday.

Many a mechanic finishes bis Sunday
dinner with sad, sad feelings.
He has had dinner at home-with his
loved ones-a dinner that be has paid for
But lot Of thoughts will bother him as
he either starts out to walk with bis children,
that are the dear, sweet pledges Of his and
their mothers love, or lies down OIL a lounge
to feel himself child again in the sweet
companionship Of those he does so much
love.
He couldn't get his pay last night from so
many customers that should have paid their
bills-but didn't.
He had bills to pay.
And he paid them
But how
By borrowing money
And why
Because those who owed him and comld
but WOULD NOT pay!
He went to bis customer on Saturday af-
ternoon with bill, may be Of S4O0. And
it wasn't paid. Then he went to another
with bill Of $3.50 and to another with one
for SIG and to some one for a bill Of Sc,
and to some one for bill Of only 81.
He needed $40.
And be got S3.
| Then he had to borrow ST..
| But, if he had been paid his dues, be
would have had 81 so to lay away.
Now be is in debt; but he does not feel
himself so because his debtors owe him so
much more than be owes to bis creditors
But why didn't bis customers pay him
yesterday?
lie has been to church to-day; and, on
his way, be met one Of them who carries
gold. headed cane and very expensive fur.
He met another who hired very fine liv-
cry ng.
And one who was out showing one Of the
finest suits that could be bought in town.
And one that had fifty dollar greenback
and was hunting for some one to play a game
Of poker.
Then our mechanic went to church and

ternoon when the mechanic needed II. Az
ter the sermon the pastor requested a sub-
scr'pton to very worthy object. The me.
chanic bent his head to the pew before him,
put up very earnest though silent PRAYER
to Him who seeth in secret, for the object of
the subscription, and then modestly wrote
down on the subscription paper
Cash, paid 10 cents bis customer wrote,
-, paid $40.
As he sat there be saw, the admired Of
all the church-gOing admirers, the family of
the man that could not pay him $3.50 on
Saturday; and, rs he went out Of the church
yard to the pavement, he was very rudely
told to stand aside by the driver Of that
mans carriage that could not pay him the
SIG. And as he moved out Of the way, he
heard the remark, How liberal is Mr.. -"
(tbe man that could not pay &l that be owed)
''he gave $5 to-day"
The poor mechanic thinks that il more
Of that money had been used to pay honest
debts instead Of making demonstrations and
displaysbe could have more confidence both
in the honesty spd piety Of those who make
30 much display OF both.
The mechanic, that Sunday aferr 'on,
was wakened out Of bis sleep BY the child Of
laboring man across the street. They
were in want. Father had worked what he
could during the week but
Didnt get has pay!
The man that owed the mechanic 81 and
gave the church $5, owed the laboring man
four dollars!
As the labOrer aud the mechanic went to
him in the evening for relief for the former,
be was at worship with his family, and they
heard him pray
"Do thou bless the poor and the needy,
the sick and the afflicted feed ths hungry
and cIothe tho naked :"
And as the two went away they said
IF such would pay their debts, there
would be no hungry to feed and no naked
to clothe !"
