at first sight, and the raising OF a poor
Young man to atlluence.
Thomas Pagan is the son Of the late

he imagined that the widow suspected
him Of dishonesty. Finally it made him

it no longer.
He informed his employer of this state
Of affairs, and another man was sent in
his place. This did not suit the widow,

In a little village in Virginia, there
lived a family named Ransom. They
were not pious people. rather on the
reprobate order, in fact, and they never
went to church. Once, however, during
a revival, the family were prevailed upon
to attend preaching. When they made
their reluctant and tardy appearance the
service had begun, and they had scarcely
taken their seats when the preacher gave
out the first hymn, reading it somewhat
thus; Return, ye ransom sinners home
"All right !" cried the head of the Ran
sons, getting up in rage, and clapping
his hat on his head. Come along, old
woman and gals. We'll 90 home fast
