Running from Home.


Not every lad that tries to play little Ben
Franklin succeeds as well as he did, Three
boys a short time since started from Quincy,
Illinois, for New York city. They stole
their way over the railroads TO Buffalo,
when the oldest was killed. The other two
boys became disheartened after his DEATH
aud started for home. The Westfeld Re
publican gives an account of the death of an
other Of the lads; They stole a ride to Sill
yer Creek, where they were put off the cars.
Nothing daunted, they came on little this
side of Silver Creek, 10 heavy grade where
they succeeded in getting on to the night
freight, and crawling on the top of the cars,
laid down and went 10 sleep. A short dis
lance east of this village the brakeman found
them in a precarious condition, having
shocked down near the edge Of the car lie
awoke them and told them they had
better go forward 10 platform car,
where there would be no danger of
falling of, and also TO get off at the
next station. One of the boys, not being
fully awake, and while attempting to step
from one car TO another, fell between them,
and was killed instantly.

Self-Dcceiyed.


We may not have committed any ont
ward crime, any sin of open, fragrant sort
but, if We are honest with ourselves. we can
generally find the roots of most such sin,
within us. II We have not committed Them
it is because God has surrounded us with
restraints, shielded us from temptation. made
our lives serene and safe, fed us with wise
counsels from childhood up, educated us TO
self-control and self-direction. Perhaps we
have never murdered a man But If we
have hated a man, and wished him out of
our way there was a little seed which uu-
der suitable climatic influences, might have
grown into murder. We have never stolen
money, nor forged, and we perhaps have
never had any temptation to do SO. But ID
We have coveted what belonged to another
if We have quietly appropriated mother's
thought without acknowledgment, there was
the seed of theft which, if we had been born
in a cellar and bred ia the street. might
easily have carried us TO the state prison.
What right have l. what right have Won. To-
look down with scom on those who have
fallen because their feet were placed on
slippery ice while ours were put ON solid
rock Pity them, forgive them. help them,
do not Judge them, unless we wish To be-
judged ourselves by the same hard, unfol-
giving law.

the old They have ontliyed most OF the
friends Of their early youth. How lonely
the hours Often their partners in life have
long filed silent graves how often their chill

stand solitary, bending on their staff, wait

often they must think of absent, lamented

the tears Of sympathy which fell with theirs;
