NOUS "hnnky. .panky" men in prominent
places that the world has ever seen. No
rival juggler can toss balls, mystify with
disappearing pocket-handkerohiefs, or
shuttle cards with half the ingenuity he
displays in manipulating tho national
balance sheets. In his hands the no
tional dobt becomes perfect phantas-
magoria, assuming any and all forms at
his magic bidding. Ho has latei; treat
ed the country to some dissolving views
OF this great burden, calculated to cheer
and encourage, but how long they will

pends entirely upon his manipulation OF

evolved. He says that the debt is now
only $2,276. 1928, 101. .44-l0O, (he is par
tioular about the oents,) and that the re-
duotion in October alone amounted to
IS, 228, AT. 32-l00. This pre- supposes
the conclusion that only thirty three
years will be consumed in paying it of
to the uttermost farthing; and we
sincerely hope that such may be the
prospect. Unfortunately, Mr.. Bout
wells practices do not keep pace with
his professions. While he was MAX

a secret issue Of S5.000:00 in

vania election, to rig the stock market
out of funds for Radical election cx-
penscs. Now TINT the danger is past
and Grants triumph is assured, he owns

cealment;" but promises not to repeat
such u dangerous aud oppressive expert
ment. This is all the satisfaction to be
had by the many heavy losers, some OF
whom were entirely ruined by this shab-

hands tho destinies for good or evil OF

[ see thee often in my dreams
My angel children. Thou art gone,
To starry realms of peaceful rest
To mingle with the ransomed throng'
Thy hands have clasped the golden Tyre,
Thy feet have passed the pearly gate;
And we, with weary fainting hearts
Press onward where our darlings walt.
Unto the golden sunrise hills
Our eyes are turned, with anxious gaze,
Till half UNDECIDED are the thOrns
That meet us on LIES tOilsome ways.
For there we know our angels wait,
Their beck ming hands we almost see, re.
Though Heaven be fair, it could not keep

Alas I cannot see to-day
Because the binding tears will fall,
The roses blooming round my way,
Nor his dear love that watches all. vvl
For we are weary. They who walk
Near to the sunset of life's day
Even they whose morn hath seen no noon,
Are growing weary By the way.

HOW A HORSE HELPED HIS
NEIGHBOUR.
from "Zion's Herald"

-# from 'LlOn'S Hera4Q."
Not long since, visited friend, who
lived on fine farm,in a pleasant iowa in
Southern New Hampshire. While there,
one evening, we rode to the village to at
tend meeting, and on our way back my
friend told me the following anecdote
about the noble horse he was driving :.
and | thought it was worth repeating to
the young readers of the Her0Id A few
years ago this horse Was kept, during au-
tumn, in field close by the farm house,
and IN an adjoining pasture a flock of
sheep was also kept. a.. . ..
One day, while my friend was talking
with gentleman by the roadside, the
horse came running toward him from
the lower part Of the field, next TO the
sheep pasture, and, putting his head over
the wall near him, he Whinnied, as If TO
attract attention. aH..t.a ......4
He took, however, no special notice of
this; and presently he turned and ran
back to the lower side of the field.
But very soon he was again seen rapid
ly approaching, and, on reachiDg MS mas
ter, he again spoke to him, as horses
usually speak. .r.s ...,
1t was observed that the horse was
acting IN very unusual manner; but
still no steps were taken. yet to ascertain
the cause of the strange running back
and forth, So the pony again wheeled
and gailOped away once more toward the
sheep pasture. And now, very soon for
the third time, he is seen swiftly return
ing.
1t seems that the intelligent creature,
having failed ip two attempts to secure
the help he was seeking, determined to
try elsewhere this time and SO instead of
going again to his master, he went to the
farm house, that stood near by, and, put,
ting his head through an open window
n the kitchen, he again whinnied. y
My friends wife, who, it seems, had
noticed the strange restlegsness Of the an.
imal, now felt quite sure there must be
ksome trouble in the field or pasture, and
that the horse was trying to tell them of
this, that they might oto the rescue.
So she went out where the horse was.
1t seemed pleased that it had attracted
attention at last, and, trottlng on before
the lady, it lead her down to the pasture,
and, putting it's head over the fence,
seemed to say, "Look, look - The lady
did look, and there she discovered
that savage dog had caught sheep,
and was holding it by the throat, in spite
of all the poor creatures efforts to escape.
On being discovered, the dog let 60 his
hold, and, springing over the fence into
the field, fed, holly pursed by the en-,
ragged horse. who would gladly have
trampled him beneath his ieet,
The poor sheep was not much injured,
and SO the horse had saved his neighbors
life.
hope my young readers will always
try to help those whom they see in
trouble, and that they will be as persever-
ing in their efforts to do good as was this
noble animal III. B. @.
