The Kentucky Bad Boy.

4 "a little boy named Bob lives not
a thousand miles from Hafrodsburg,
is si@years old, .and grows igSstature
# not in grace:evefy day. HIS grand
father is devoted to him, and spoils
him. Not long! ago the 2ld gentle
man a:l was VI walking up and down the
back gallery. holding his half open
hand behind him, as is the habit of
many people. Bob looked at him re-
Aectively for fully a minute All at
once he. disappeared, entering the
kitchen, and reappeared holding. a
small coal of fire between two sticks.
Just then his grandfather was walk
Ing ing slowly toward the other end Of
the gallery. Swiftly and cautiously
Bob stole up behind and dropped the
coal into the half closed hand,.. and
then disappeared like 2 fash The
old >geptlema s hand closed convul-
siEelg, and then hes made a frantic
effort to thro@it away He hopped
about and capered like two year
old colt, and finally, discovering that
he was burned, .darted for the water
bucket, into which he plunged his
arm up to his elbow But, alas for
Bob, his mother had arrived just in
timesto see him do bhesnaughty deed,
a1d ,despte his deolaration tha9 hs
didn't go&o do it, SHE interviewed
him so efectually that he found it
inconvenient to sit down for several
days thereafter. During the inter-
view Bob howled in his most melodi-
GUS and heartrending manner, but
his victim only stood by the water
bucket, and nodded appr9gingly at
the soGnd Of the conflict asit reached
his ears.

Courage to Do Right.

We may have courage, all Of US,

But do we always manifest
The courage to do right?
To answer No! with steady breath,
And quick unfaltering tongue, =, :,
I When fierce temptation, ever near, &
Her syren song has sung?
To care not for the bantering tone,
The jest, or studied slight;
Content if we ia only have
The courage to do right? -,
To step aside from Fashions course,

To pluck an outcast from the street,
Or help fellow man?
If not, then let US nobly try,
Henceforth, with all our might,
In every case to muster UP :

Of confidence game that is being
practiced in that city at present. An
old hat worth fifty cents is carefully
done up in box and taken to the
residence of some gentleman whose
name is in the directory, always at an
hour when. the gentleman is not at
home. The messenger presents tie
hat to the lady Of the.house and says
Mr.. has purchased new hat
and paid one dollar on. it, giving or
ders to present the bill for the BAL
ance when the hat is sent up. The
lady looks at the bill. pays it, and
the messenger departs with the mon
ey. The wrath Of the gentleman on
coming home and finding a beaver
which would disgrace third.rate
pawn shop can be imagined. This
trick has been. unusually successful.

Pay Your Small Debts.
From the Providence Journal.)

From the Providence Journal)
Money is close; everybody desires to
make as clean balance sheet as possible
everybody, almost, has money due and
money to pay. Now, it is not often enough
remembered that q little money goes o
good way in squaring accounts. A pays
3 bill OF ten dollars in the morning, B
pays G at noon, G sends to D, and so on
and on, the same identical bill, either in
part or wholly eXtingulshing during the
week an hundred accounts. II is hardly
possible, perhaps it is not wholly desir-
able, that all kinds OF business should be
conducted on the cash plan, imperatively.
But is better that all small bills should
be promptly settled at frequent
periods At the commencement Of
new year, 1t Is quito as much for the
benefit Of the debtor as it is Of the crcdi.
tor, that out standing accounts should be
settled. Every one then knows where he
stands, what he is honestly entitled to ex.
pend as the monthsroll on, how to gradu.
ate his severalitems OF the cost of living,
and so do justice to himself and others.
With many retailers and others whose
business comprises almost innumerable
items, this annual adjustment is q matter
Of the utmost consequence; it bears upon
tho whole profit and ease OF conducting
trade. It Is not only the amount OF money
in o community which tells, butt is the fact
Of Its circulation which is important. In
point Of fact, the relief of one is the re.
lief Of many. II everybody is punctual,
everybody can calculate how and what to
do. The great contracts are looked after,
but the minor Indebtedness is often over.
looked or considered trivial This is q
mistake. 1t Is "the little foxes" which
destroy tho vines, and the little bills
which, uncared for, annoy and cat out
the dividends. As the bills come in, send
the amount, and so gladden. the recipient,
enable him to do likewise, and earn 10
yourself that peace of mind which en-.
courages digestion and secures sound
