New York mud Liverpool There is little
doubt that quotations viii be csel higher
than at present, as the recent rise in the
currency quotations. Of our e1portahle pro

should prove to be Of considerable dunl~
tion, wheat may touch s1-15 and corn

destructive aud expensive, that few na-

indulge in the luxury for more than few

MONEY AT INTEREST.
By AMY RANDOLPH.

"Please, sir. will you give me penny;
only pcnny?"
"No-go along with you; l never give
money to street beggars."
And Mrs. Parker sat trihe more erect,
if it were possible, in her buffalo cushion
ed wagon seat, and grasped her blue cot
ton umbrella tighter. But her husband,
Paul Parker, on whose kindly face the
boy turned his gaze. said:
''See here, boy, I've only got a fifty
cent piece, and its more money than
ought to give away. I shall be here at
three o'clock this day week, opposite this
very tavern; will you be here to pay il
back to me? Mind, l only lend it to
you; and may be I'll be able to find some
work for you by that time"
"Yes, sir" said the boy. gleefully as
he scrambled up the side of the Wheel

paul Parker, you're fool!'' said the
woman, augrily. ''You scatter your mo.
ney about as though there was no end tt
it. Do you suppose you'll ever see your
fifty cents again ?"

The Kissing Deacon.

In one Of our puritanical towns Of New
England, says an eastern paper, lived
Deacon Brown, very staid, dignifed sort
of Christian. perfect model Of propriety.
Deacon Brown had the misfortune TO lose
his wife, and at the age Of forty had found
himself with . family of four small chill
dren, without . mistress to his farmhouse.
As he could NOT immediately take another
wife and avoidexciting scandal, and could
not get along without getting some one to
take charge Of the kitchen and nursery,
he had recourse to employing young wo-
man as housemaid. =.
Nancy Stearns was q laughing. ronnping
beauty, who delighted in experimenting
upon the Deacon, by way Of testing the
strength of human nature. For . long
time the Deacon was invulnerable, but at
last, in moment Of unguarded weakness,
he was led into temptation, and commit
ted a .'sligt indiscretion" with his beauti-
full housemaid. When he recovered his
wonted GOODNESS and presence Of mind. he
was Mortified at the enormity Of his sin.
In vain he rcpented and grieved over lost
virtue. Finally, as . last effort OF easing
his conscience, at the service on the fol-
lowing Sabbath morning he arose and re-
quested the forbearance Of the brothers
and sisters few moments, when he cleo
tri6ed them BY making the following con-
fession:
my Christian friends. you know that
| I lost nv wife some months age (sobs and
tears, } and that Nancy Stearns has been
keeping house for me. And you know
that l have little child not . year old.
Well, sometimes that child would cry in
the night, and it would be long time be-
fore could quiet it; and last Tuesday
